    First of all, try again, but with clarity next time, so I can at least understand it. Secondly, I didn't post the avatar/"PapaG" threat. I've moderated boards before. I realize the challenges, but as a mod, I was always above petty/quasi-criminal insults.

    You didn't start the thread and I wasn't responding about you or to you. I have been around this basic core of posters for 7-8 years now and for as Long as I can remember Maris has been screaming about mods. Calling them Facists, Nazis, racist, etc..etc... It doesn't matter who is a mod here MARIS will go out of his way to try and vilify them.

    Honestly PapaG I know nothing of your issue with NB, sounds like it is pretty specific and personal, rather than all encompassing. I will say though that in reading what is going on, Nate made a mistake posting that picture, but I don't think it would be in anyway posted as a legit threat. Bad joke probable, but what kind of a Moron would use his real name as a Screen name for 7+ years and then be pretty blatantly public about threatening a person with legit violence?

    NateBishop's real name is Nate Bishop?????

    I never thought of it. I must be the slowest person on the board.

    Edit: I'm not joking!! I never noticed.

    Well, it could be Nate Bishop III. I haven't ruled that out yet.

    I just wanted you to think I was cool PapaG. I was going to post a picture of me playing Dungeons and Dragons, but I thought you'd laugh at me. Airsoft is so much cooler!

    Ah. Some humor. Where has that been? I didn't care to enlarge the photos to see what type of weapon it was.

    So he posed as his real name a picture of himself... Maybe he's trying to get a break on the "Worlds Stupidest Criminals" show....

    Joking joking joking!

    So what's our next forum, guys? Can I be a mod?

    And damn...looks like I missed an exciting e-drama. I'll have to catch it in re-runs, or find a torrent of it.

    Hard to be comical when someone is throwing around words like "attorney" and "police" :devilwink:

    What if a gifted stand-up comedian were throwing those words around?

    Or a leprechaun?

    I dunno, I can think of a lot of ways that those words could be used in a comical setting.

    Yeah, keep the riff-raff out, and those S2 nazis.

    So, can I be a mod there?

    But you're the worst one Minstrel! You secretly pull the strings around here. Minstrel made me post that avatar! He said it would be funny...

    Hey I could make one for people! It's not hard to do. MARIS doesn't pass the prerequisite though.

    I told you to post a picture of you spinning a basketball on your finger, to imply the threat of a game of one-on-one hoops.

    In fact, I told that to all the mods, but it looks like only Ed understood.
