That's true - we all tend to let each other fight our own battles without stepping in.

However, when duking it out with one forum member, all of his or her buddies will come sailing in to back up the attack on the other party even if they don't have a clue what they are talking about.

Pete, I wasn't here for whatever battle supposedly happened recently. Personally I don't care to hear the story. However, knowing how dirty you fight from first hand experience, perhaps you need to re-think your personal involvement and accept your own culpability. I'm sorry your son was dragged into whatever drama has occurred, but you know, I've seen Pixie's kids brought up in fights, beerwench was severly attacked last year I think in regards to her kids and there was some seriously nasty stuff going on among some other forumites that I have long since forgotten, and there were more issues among other forumites childrens and families being dragged into the :drama: 8 times out of 10 everybody stayed out of the drama and let everybody duke it out on their own.

Pete, what Pixie's trying to stress, is every single forum member is guilty of bad behavior on one level or another. Yourself included. Myself included for not always sticking up for somebody who I knew was right. And we should all accept that past actions have been out of line and move forward with our forum lives. If you can't let go of your anger, maybe you need a forum break. It means you are taking crap way too personal and perhaps you need some distance for perspective. And that goes for everybody. Vrai is correct in saying if you don't like it here you don't have to stay. And that goes for ALL of us as well.

Now, IMHO, everybody needs to stop sniveling over karma and the past and throw dirt on that grave and march on down to the next tread.
Holy Cow - I do not understand, nor do I even plan to understand, nor am I taking sides - but it might be time to close this thread for the public to see and take it over to the fight club.

Duke it out/debate it out in there... :coffee:

Mig I don't need your input on what I need to do or should do. You are not a parent, your kid wasn't drug into something vile that was spread around. Knowing you like I do which I admit is limited you would have had the epic kirk out meltdown/of all time.

As far as "how dirty I fight" every issue I have ever had with you was said in the open. Because you don't particularly care for me and I happen to be embroiled in a controversy, doesn't give you license to pile on here and lecture me about some "dirty tactic" you have dreamed up. As far as I recall the only words we have had were when I took offense to your "man hating" period. That is done and it did not get nasty. I did not go to another web site and publically slander you, accuse you of vile things then spread it around.

That being said you don't know dick about this situation and say you don't want to hear it, you cannot possibly express any informed opinion about "my culpability" in it. So please don't.

I have not seen Pixies kids drug into any of her battles nor Beleeze. I am not asking for anyone to join up, if they do then good, if they don't that is fine too but what I do not appreciate is when the bad actor has some front man or apologist come out and make excuses for or attempt to deflect the blame for what he alone did.

I thank you for your input.

TA DAH! ANd that's why 40 :loser: is not a big deal. Personal and family attacks are more than the above.
Slander and Libel are the critical aspects of the issue.

Issues that could be very costly to those responsible.

I find that hard to believe. I have been the center of a mass of crap and I have yet to see you or anyone else come to my defense, nor do I expect you to.
Hey. Not my dog in this fight but you should definitely reconsider that statement. I have screwed with you before because, eh, it was fun and I don't have a personal relationship with you - but Pete and some other forumites do - but when the stuff was seriously personal I think you will notice which group of your friend forumites were absent and which were setting up MPDs, faning the flames, and sending links to messed up stuff about you to those ones who were supporting you off the forums and were not participating in the beat Pixie down fest. I don't get on here much but I do know who has had your back and who hasn't. Who has sat back and allowed you to figure stuff out for yourself and not just jump on you and I am referring to much more than Pete here.

I have also seen that same group of friends (the ones who do the MPDs and fan the flames) do the same thing to more than just you and they are all to happy to try to fire off stuff to incite to the people who have had most of y'alls backs at one point or another and then have watched y'all feed off each other. So - I would think again before you think those people haven't been on your side. Sometimes the best way to help someone isn't to tell them what to do, cover for their mistakes, but be there when they want to talk.

I just think some people need to step back and ask themselves what they seriously have benefited from as far as their relationships and what has brought them down. Although - if y'all figure it out then it is much less amusement for me sitting in the background laughing at a bunch of idiots mauling themselves.

Thank God Karma is gone! Good Riddance! It made it so hard to comment for fear of retaliation from others who didn't care for your opinion on any subject. It was a pain. Thanks, Vria!

I see what you're saying, honestly I do. And believe me, I am well aware of who I call my "friend" and who I don't. I KNOW what some of these people are capable and I KNOW that some will be all sugar to my face and then plant a knife in my back as soon as it's turned.

In a private thread yesterday someone mentioned that I was an old pro at this having survived the "Great Forum Divide of 07" to that I add, and 06, 05, 04, etc.... I've always along with a couple others that I won't bring into this have done my damndest to remain neutral. I dance to my own beat and hell if anyone is going to tell me who I can and can't associate with. Until yesterday's misunderstanding I was perfectly capable of maintaining my friendships with both Pete and Smooth without issue. And I use that only as an example; I've maintained my friendships with both Christy and Jabba as well. BK and everyone else, etc. We should all be able to be adults and as adults we shouldn't have to pick "sides" or friends and a real friend won't expect that of you. There are a few people in the group that I typically hang out with that I don't really care for but just as I expect for myself I can't expect anyone I do like to shun someone I don't like just because I don't like them for whatever reason; even if it is a valid reason.

Maybe my intent yesterday wasn't clear or the message got lost amoungst the bable but my point was the loss of karma has been a long time coming due to everyone's behavior. I wasn't pining it down and making it so granular that it was all due to the Pete/Smooth ordeal; that may have been a factor or even the catalyst but it was NOT the reason in whole as DJ said herself. I say good on her because I saw it do nothing but cause a lot of hate and discontent.

This has been the general consensus. Really, I should have shut it down a long time ago.

Which is who?
Below is the question originally answered to...so to answer your question...whomever that person at your work is, that blocked this site.

Well, then everyone can then be mad at the person that caused this to happen.

Overall, yes. I will, however, miss those nice greens from a witty comment or when you help someone out. I will not miss the unsolicited, unsigned, uncalled for, comments from someone who has no life.

Also, I want to make it clear that Pete did not report the karma link to that petition thing. I wouldn't have known anything about it until I got a complaint from someone else.
