 You and others also Twisted my words to mean other things on purpose.

 They said: " They *somehow* kept their 200  plus machines one step ahead of such break downs."

 My reply:  "Thats Either that is a Lie, or a mis-interpretation... or something else..."

Steve -- if you are going to refer to threads that are actually still available, you had best learn some quote-fu -- one of the reasons that people don't like your complete inability to master the quote features in SMF is that you choose to make stuff up and insert it in your already-poorly-formatted postings instead of providing accurate quotes and links.

If you reread (or, I guess, read, since you didn't bother the first time) the post that I made in this thread, I was referring to how you called Tim Arnold  a liar, not someone who posted in that thread. I could understand you missing this point had I not mentioned Tim Arnold by name, but since I did mention him by name, the only conclusion that I am left with is that you aren't able/willing to take the time to understand what is being posted.

To recap, in the article in question, Tim Arnold (NOT Gary Stern as you have completely failed to grasp) said that the reason that pinball has died off is that there aren't machines out there to play. You replied Wrong! and proceeded into your partially-correct, but still misleading, diatribe about the reliability of pinball machines. Later in that same thread, you called Tim Arnold a liar. You also called other folks liars, and I questioned your credibility compared to those whom you called liars (including Gary Stern, although you were mistaken when you called him a liar).

He's right, the problem is there is nowhere to play pinball.
But Stern says pinball will still be around in 10 yrs

People put pins on location all the time.   In bars, laundry, pizza joints, rest stops, and more.

The reason pinball died was due to the fact that they are poorly designed.   They fail too
often... and those failures cause the gameplay to be too terrible for a player to waste money on.

You realize it was Tim Arnold, not Gary Stern, who said that, right ?


--- Quote ---“The thing that’s killing pinball,” Mr. Arnold added, “is not that people don’t like it. It’s that there’s nowhere to play it.”

--- Quote ---Corner shops, pubs, arcades and bowling alleys stopped stocking pinball machines. A younger audience turned to video games. Men of a certain age, said Mr. Arnold, who is 52, became the reliable audience. (“Chicks,” he announced, “don’t get it.”)

Let me get this straight ... we have had to endure your rantings, along with your personal insults ... because you're comprehensionally-impaired ?

 :dizzy:
--- End quote ---

You have chosen to reinterpret the reality of what was said based on your failed comprehension and resort, once again, to personal insults instead of intelligent discourse about what was actually posted.

I'd also say that it was pretty clear to anybody with a pulse that saint wasn't threatening you -- you however chose to respond with a threat of violence. Peale even pointed out that saint wasn't threatening you.

If you can't be bothered to know who you are responding to, how can we believe that you take the time to understand what you are responding to ?

For my part, I have not and will not threaten anybody with physical harm -- the Internet Tough Guy(tm) label belonged to tommy, but has now apparently passed to you. I had assumed that this was a result of your inability to actually maintain a coherent train of thought and argue the merits.

FWIW, I don't think that the anonymous nobody label applies to me -- I suspect that more people here know me in the RealWorld(tm) than know you. I believe that you helped some of them park their cars. I'm not particularly hard to find and am usually pretty easy to get along with ... right up until you call people names and ignore what they say.

As saint has pointed out, sometimes people post without thinking (at least I think that was his explanation for what you did), so we should give them a second chance.

I tend to agree ... but, lo and behold, the first chance you got, you chose to resume your personal attacks and ignore what is actually posted.

Maybe he was wrong.

 :dunno

Xiaou2:
instead of providing accurate quotes

 I provided an accurate quote just as listed above.  I have no need to make things up.
Im not caught up in my own ego like some others here.

 If I choose to quote in another manor, that is my choice  Mr. Board Nazi.
I dont force anyone to read my posts.. nor do I tell others how they should post.


 My mistake for getting a name wrong.  However, my points are still on par IMOP.


 As for your info where I called others liars..  well, thats funny cause I dont see that
quoted?   

 As for Calling Tim a liar about maintenance,  I basically did so conditionally:  Only if he said that he
could keep pins running without any maintenance issues in a week.   Im talking any flaws
whatsoever.    As anyone with more than 10 pins in busy locations is going to have at least one problem of some sort in a weeks time.   
 
 Anyone involved in pinball should easily know this.

 It was the posters argument that was misleading,  as he misunderstood the entire
argument and only took my meaning to mean  a game that powers up and is playable.  Not
a game that has mechanical flaws.

 
 You say I cant grasp the issues... and yet, theres one more poster besides yourself
who doesnt even grasp the arguments.


 Personal insults instead of intelligent discourse

 Lol.  Your a trip.  Why dont you start looking thru the various postings to see who starts
throwing insults first!   And how I usually restrain my retorts until more than one such remarks
is sent my way.

I'd also say that it was pretty clear to anybody with a pulse that saint wasn't threatening you -- you however chose to respond with a threat of violence. Peale even pointed out that saint wasn't threatening you.


 I had several board punks on my case.. one of which said that it was mentioned that
there was talk of people coming down to visit me.   

 Had I a chance to calm down, I would have realized Saints meaning.  However, since I was
wrongly banned,  I had no change to retract my post.

chose to resume your personal attacks

  Where do you see that?

 Nowhere. 

  All you are is a worthless button pusher who things that you can get away with
your hypnosis routine to fool the mindless suckers into getting your way.

 No, I never once made any threat.   I merely made a warning.   

 I am a highly skilled artist, trained in lethal techniques which I have mastered over
years of dedication.   I do not take ANY personal attack as a 'play'  fight.   If one is stupid
enough to do so,  they are gambling with their life.   I dont gamble.  I dont play.

 I dont hold back like some others might.   If someone decides they even want to consider
testing me... they had better be warned of that fact.   For their own safety, and for the record
of the courts if/when  their family members try to sue me for the results.

 
 There are plenty of internet bullies here.  Mostly deal in psychological crap.   Its no wonder
why there are many nice people who choose not to post in forums, merely because of these
jerks. 

 Im very familiar with people like this, as Ive dealt with their abuses all my life... and Im tired of
taking it instead of dishing it right back.   Exposing those people for the real turds they really are.


 I also find it great how you try to demean me for helping out with the show by directing cars.
Shows how low of a person you really are.

*Wish I had some of that popcorn... and maybe the last 5 minutes of my life back wasted reading this LOL   :laugh2:

Xiaou2:
 
 You wasted another 1 posting a pathetic instigative reply,  while you could have been doing
something positive or useful.

 I guess you should have a look in the mirror before you make a judgment call.

* Hoopz throws some popcorn and hands a beer to the boogieman then questions why he is hanging with a guy named the boogieman.
