Don't make me come down there...

 Is that a threat?  You think Im scared?

 I dont  'play fight'.   Someone attacks me for real, and they will be put in the hospital
or the morgue.

It was already suggested, but I think you might have missed this one. Read this:

Your choice.  Better get your affairs in order before you leave.

Threatening Saint now?  I bet his finger is hovering over the ban button.  I know I'm thinking about it for a statement like that.

He's saying "cut the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---".  Only a total moron would think he was threatening you directly.

I changed my mind.  Welcome to a seven day ban.  Cool off, then come back.

so I have to wait a week to find out where I am going? oh well. i cant really remember what this started out to be an argument about in the first place.

[KevSteele]

Im known in the Video and Pinball collector circles.   Like the people behind the Rochester Gameroom Show.
Im friends with them,  Ive been to their homes,  &  I was helping at the show.

Well, you never introduced yourself to me at the Rochester show! Havok did, but you, who were "helping" at the show, never walked over to my booth and said hello?

I'll have to talk to Dave Jones - I'm curious if I met you and never knew it!

EDIT: It seems that the douchebaggery around here will be arrested for at least a week.  Can we vote on PERM-BANNING the freak?   What kind of person gets angry to the point of making physical threats over posts on a forum?   The guy is mentally unstable...seriously. 

I'd throw my vote toward a "YEA" if it came down to banning the nut permanently.

I'm sure this thread was entertaining, and I honestly tried to read it, but the dashed/red quotes drove me nuts!

I've always thought Xiaou2 was an 'interesting' individual (I don't know about that - he might think of himself as a collective). I'd give him a chance to act civil once he comes back. Not like it will take long for the final ban hammer to fall if he can't.

Xiaou2 has a long history at BYOAC and has done some innovative stuff. I don't understand his personal beliefs and recent behavior but I could say that about a good many people here. He's taken his fair share of grief for his views but then he's dished it out too. I don't know why he took my post as some kind of personal threat but I'm willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt once for posting "in the heat of the moment." -- After his cool-down period he's welcome to come back and participate in the forum as long as he follows the posted forum rules of decorum. If that doesn't work out then we'll just have to part ways. I appreciate everyone's interest in keeping BYOAC relatively friendly and focused on the arcade scene.

Yah....I guess if CHAD is still allowed here....

 

...not to mention I need something to cling to when I go off the deep end and threaten to kick your ass John.

[RayB]

If we're voting on a ban, I vote NAY

I agree with this FWIW. Very cool on your part, since you were the target of the planned cyber kung fu attack.
I'm actually dumbfounded by many of his comments. Always just considered him kind of eccentric. The most surprising thing to me was that an actual game discussion caused his implosion. Wow.

[FrizzleFried]

Yah,  I figured discussions of the death trains or what I like to call "The Tin Foil Chronicals" might set the guy off,  who'd have known it would be a thread about pinballs...

Didn't he also threaten physical damage onto others in the death trains thread (or other PnR thread)?

This is about the death trains that hauled off a bunch of Jewish to the concentration camps? What does that have to do with his points of interest?

Sorry, I was referring to his PnR threads. It was about trains in the US which turned out to be auto trains in the end.

[FrizzleFried]

"X" has fully convinced himself that the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT is constructing "death trains" in the ilk of the "death trains" of Germany.  He thinks they are being created to cart United States Citizens off to US sponsored concentration camps located here,  on U.S. soil.  He thinks the government has a secret plan to "do away" with undesirables like Hurricane Katrina victims, and such.

Bottom line is the guy has lost it.  After being presented with COLD HARD FACTS on the "death trains" he claims the U.S. made,  he STILL thinks WE are having the wool pulled over our eyes. 

He is an America hater like none other.  He uses every possible angle to attempt to belittle our government and demonstrate that the U.S. government is out to control it's people by any means possible,  including death,  torture,  and the like.   Frankly,  I find his point of view humorous, vile, and disturbing at the same time.  To think that someone in this day and age actually TRULY BELIEVES that their own government and producing DEATH TRAINS to use on it's citizens is all  you need to know about just how "way out there" this guy is.

I'd love to meet just about any person from these forums...even Mr. C and others I disagree with politically, etc... but "X" is one guy I am not interested in meeting.  He "honestly" scares me.

Now I am likely pushing this post in to "P&R" territory so I will stop now.

Ah, I see. I've seen those on a regular basis... the auto trains. I can see how they could easily be misconstrued as something more sinister. Especially when the operator forgets to lock them on the return runs and you see bums "camped" out inside. OK, well whatever.

Yeah... um, let's see. Anyone see that BabyPac on Craigs a couple of weeks ago? I'm still kicking myself for not snagging it.
