shoppingbear - you seem to have a skewed version of things, and regardless of what you thought you saw, you didn't see the whole picture. Tool has apparently recruited you to continue an unjustified attack. Now you want to sow discord and mistrust here by making people believe that some unspecified insults are being hurled at various people elsewhere. It just isn't the way you're trying to paint it.

Again, I will ask you. Where were you attacked? Point out specific instances. You want to keep bringing that point up, and we all want to know where. It seems as though everyone here pretty much sees that you instigated the issue and now you won't back down.

But I'm willing to bet you won't bother as you'll likely be proven horribly wrong about all your inside info. But this is my personal and open request to you.

I'm not trying to sow anything negative, but it's impossible to explain what happened in this thread without getting into what happened on that other forum (the Island). Even Deftones is trying to say "hey, you attacked me first", probably because he doesn't want anyone to know his attacks were on another board.

Deftones, I'll stay out of the new thread, we can agree to disagree. My issues with you... we both know this thread was the tip of the iceberg. No worries.

What did I say on the other forum? I'd be curious to know what you think I said. I could quote myself right now. In fact, I will.
I said something to the effect of "After all these years of giving me crap for Melanie, he now has no room to talk."
I just like how you conveniently continue to persist that I attack you, but you won't tell me how I did. That just goes to show that you have no faith in your faith.

You are aware that multiple moderators post there and have for the past ?6? years that 'Islands' have existed, right? I'm not sure they would agree with your characterization of a forum you were never a member of. And nice attempt to try to bring trouble by saying we try to talk badly about X and Geoff "and the other mods" it does reveal your childishness. The mods keep far better tabs on that forum that do your 'informants'.In sum, fight out whatever issues you choose with whomever you choose, but don't drag me into it (which is what you did by making your broad and inaccurate statements).

Yeah, Bushdog doesn't talk shit about anyone anymore. He needs permission from the ball and chain to do that.

It's kinda like going into NHL strike threads to post how happy you are about it happening so you don't have to watch the highlights on Sportscenter.

And I don't see a parallel at all. Being happy to not have to wait through hockey highlights, and giving hockey fans some good natured ribbing, is no where near on par with adults acting like 13 year olds on internet message boards.

Also curious if a "gentleman" tries to hurt people to have his posting privileges revoked because he is somehow unable to stop himself from posting on Internet forums. The chivalrous thing would probably be to just not visit the forum he no longer wants to be a part of now that he finally has a girlfriend, or if he really feels he lacks the control to avoid the forums, to simply ask Geoff and Cranky to remove his accounts from both places in order to make taking up time there more difficult for him.
I do hope that Toolie gets what he's looking for by exiling himself from both communities though I'm not sure what there is to gain by doing so. Though to his credit many have 'pulled a soupy' before so it is not as if he is the only one.
The series of brutal attacks he made against one female member of both forums is also exceedingly un-gentlemanly and extremely disappointing and imo uncomfortably misogynistic. I expected more from him.

What can I say, when I was younger and dumber I got provoked into some personal attacks. 
Now I ignore them and use the handy report button. And have been suspension free for quite a while.
BTW, why is this thread still open, with all the bickering and the original issue being resolved by the mods?

I usually don't bother reporting posts in feedback, given that I assume the mods and admins are reading them.
Not to mention the bickeriing was on-going when Nemein and X posted saying a new thread was all they could do, thus resolving the matter.

You should get the "mini-mod" title. Maybe I'll start a petition.
As for Tool....hopefully he finds a place more befitting of his posting style.
Now to find the new Penn thread.

Those of us from there have done our best to keep that place seperate from this place. It was you that made a huge stink about it when your friend let you know she was a member. You did a lot of things that caused a lot of the drama that has eventualy led to this.
This is all very unforunate.
