I've heard things about how you almost made new people quit, I've heard things about how youce scared away new members, and I've also had people specifically say to me that you've made them not want to post anymore.
But if someone tries to bring up that up or so you're being too hard on them, they get talked down to, made fun of by long-time members, and you mock them by talking about how great you are and communicating in a condescending way with words such as "son", "newbie", etc. I politely told you I'd prefer not to be called son and you ranted at me. Do you not see the problem?
It goes as far as you not being able to take a joke from Doug, stirring up drama with him even though he's one of the most level-headed posters, and it results in rants, with you blaming others for doing stuff that you're actually doing yourself.
Exactly
I'm not asking for people to pick a side, just take a moment to welcome the new members.
Many of us do.
Do you have names and contact info of the people I "almost" made quit, or the ones you "heard I scared away" or the ones that said because of me they "don't want to post anymore". I never meant for any of this to happen and I think I owe them all an apology. Thank you.
I'm one of several, though time has past and you are more like a sliver in he foot than a pain in the ass anymore
I'm with you. Try and make me leave this wonderful haven of Blazer fans!
If you would like me to jump on the proverbial grenade, please change the title to "HCPs Douchy Posts" and you can say I started it. See above post.
@Orion Bailey here is you apology. Props to him for swallowing his pride. I've been throwing the middle finger up to THE hcp since I got her(e) too though.
Ha.
When he directs It to me I'll take it seriously, but when one generalized post is mixed in with a
Bunch of condescending posts, it reads more like another joke.
Bones is right. Rook, son, Francis, snowflake, I've been called all these things by this guy and had it out a year ago.
I got the private message telling me he is a good guy.
I message him and try to smooth things out and never got a response other than him trying to use it against me and make me look like some stalker the way he brings it up.
That generalized apology doesn't mean shit to me.
Hell I don't even think he has anything to apologize for.
All I'm asking for is a concession. Treat people on the level once in a while. Stop trying to divide us with fans and old timers and newbies.
Admit you are joking to those who don't know or are new amidst you giving them a hard time.
This is not his playground to bully people or you will indeed have your close circle of fame and nobody else.
I think cippy is the only new ref I've seen here in the last two years. People come and go because one welcome from 20 people doesn't mean anything. Impaired to being talked down to regularly by someone who pounds his chest and brags about being a big deal around here.
Yes. One person can indeed ruin the vibe and mood around here.
I don't take him seriously, but let's all be honest here can we? Stop sticking up for big brother because you've known him since you weee kids and just look This behavior now.
It wouldn't fly in any real forum, classroom, club, etc so why let him bully people around here?
We all need to be ourselves, but the right thing is to try to be aware of how you are affecting others with your personality. Sometimes we need to check ourselves even when being ourselves.
I know I'm happy to know and acknowledge this.
I wish some others here would too.
This place is indeed becoming less fun.
Not because we are trying to stifle the jabbing, but because all too often the jabber won't take a break from it, so thats all there is.
That's all I read anymore.
Some blazers affiliate who. Ones on here and brags about himself, runs up against his longtime friends and try's to smack around those he doesn't know. Then when the try to smack back, he runs to his old school friends for support.
Lame.
Out.
