*shrug* I’ve tried being nice, I’ve apologized to him on numerous occasions and so on.

I’m only trying to help.

Boru

Why would you apologize?

Why wouldn't you stop calling him names/ridiculing him?

Those sentences exist at the same moment in time. Pick a street I say. You clearly enjoy being rude and calling him out all over the forums. I find it hilarious and his reactions to you are what make it funny. You send up some baiting statement and he bumbles right through whatever you say to him so I would lean towards why would you apologize for your behavior when you clearly don't give a fuck?

What a contrarian moment!

I apologize to Brian when I go over the line, when I’ve unintentionally misquoted him, things like that.

I am sincerely trying to help him be a better, more mature person. Because I DO give a fuck. However, there seems to be some negative feelings about my back and forth with Brian, I’m willing to adjust my behaviour to the extent that I won’t reply to any of his posts unless he has addressed me directly.

Fair enough?

Yea, here is the problem, YOUR REACTIONS are not the way to do it.

Sorry it bothers you I love ABBA. Sorry it bothers you I don't agree with you 100% of the time on every subject.

It doesn’t bother me that you love ABBA, and I’m unconcerned whether you agree with me or not.

Re-read my last post (I edited it) - is that fair?

lol, no one’s blowing smoke. I’m offering  to ease up on you.

For example, if you make a post titled ‘I love this song!’, I’ll keep my yap shut. But if you make one titled ‘Boru, what do you think of this song?’, I’ll reply. Similarly, if you reply to something I’ve written, I’ll respond (not doing so would be rude).

Oh naynay! I'm not trying to dissuade you in the least from being yourself. Please keep on keepin' on. I'm merely adding commentary kind of like you do to him I guess although I find you far less... whatever Brian37 is... how to put it tactfully... obtuse, yes that is part of it. Resorting to pathos as a form of argumentation! that is the backbone of it.

At any rate, your "help" is amusing to me. I'm a father of three and have resorted to your kind of chiding to modify behavior and the results are not the best but it can be fun.

I see now. Thank you.

But more that a few people here have said I’m too harsh on Brian. In the interest of maintaining a happy Forum family, I’m willing to back off a bit.

Why are you so hard on him to begin with?
He's Brian who is called Brian been here eight fucking years! You're not going to change him now so why not, you being a moderator n'all, devote some of your time and skills to an area that needs a moderators attention.

This place is being overrun by trolls, some new and some not so new and yet you focus on the hapless Brian, why?
Because you're a bully and you get away with it because there is no steerage, no guidance. Where is The Seldom Seen Man, aka, Tiberius. Who was last seen 11/10/09  When he tells us...

Quote:In fact, the whole "forum" concept isn't very fun to be honest.

Quote:In any case, I find myself less and less concerned with the goings on of AF. I also notice that the forum just isn't as active as it once was, so perhaps it's not just me.

And that conceited, arrogant piece of shit garnered seventeen kudos? It's hardly surprising his underlings are going renegade.

This place is nothing more than a Facebook subgroup, an AoL chatroom and whatever purpose it once served it serves no longer. It's over!
