    Usually this is when the spooks come out at night, but we have had one running around now for almost 2 years. Here's a pumpkin I would enjoy watching being smashed. :bgrin::bgrin:

    Notice the similarity in color. The difference being, the one on the right is the natural color. The color of the one on the left, like much of his rhetoric, is fake

    Troll post. OK. Troll thread. Fine. Calling people trolls--let's avoid that please.

    I don't think it's worthy of unilateral moderation, but if @CupWizier would be down with a modification ("Trumpy Halloween" or something), then I'll accommodate.

    Is calling someone buttercakes an insult?

    I will edit it since you feel it is.

    If you see "buttercakes" as calling you soft, that's on you. I've never heard the term before, and it certainly doesn't communicate any personal characteristics to me. I saw it as nothing more than a sarcastic team of endearment, as though he had called you "sweetie".

    I can't be held responsible for how you interpret another poster's gibberish, nor do I deserve to be accused of "bias" because I perceive something differently than you do.

    I do find it amusing that Cup himself has accused me of being biased against him, and now you accuse me of being biased for him. Kinda supports my feeling that I'm objective.

    I don't know, I have a hard time keeping with kids and their hipster insults.

    Cup joined the forum way back in the day when there was a first migration from OregonLive but didn't post here until Oregonlive closed their forum. I wouldn't call him an old schooler. If you look at posting over a consistent span of time you would be the senior member.

    I don't see anything wrong with my title or my response to bailey. No rules have been broken. Nobody is forced to respond in a thread. If a poster opens a thread based on the title and doesn't like the context then they can easily pass it by. I do it quite often.

    :cheers:

    I can't speak for whether or not anyone is biased; I speak only for myself. I'm not. I edit posts that I see as attacking another person's character, regardless of who it is or how long they've been around. Don't put on me what you've seen from others. I'm not them. I'm me.

    And yes, he's poking. Digging. And it's not a TOS violation. I'm not in the habit of going around telling people "You're going to upset people by posting that way". I don't do it to you, and I don't do it to him. What I DO do is edit direct insults, and sometimes tell people that I did and why.

    Yes, I think that there are certain people on here who post abrasively, and often intentionally so. But guess what--we're all adults, and we all have control over how we respond to others' unpleasantness. You can choose to fire back with insults, or you can choose to let them pass. Whichever way you choose to respond is up to you, but if your responses include insults, they will be edited. This should not come as a surprise to you or anyone.

    All good. Like I said, I wasn't going to change your thread's title unless you were in favor. You're not, so I'll leave it alone.

    Then delete his shit as well and all will be good. I have seen a lot worse continue on this forum. If bailey wants to complain then he should take it to reporting rather than whining about it in the open forum.:devilwink:

    I see nothing that needs deletion in MY thread. Next time don't take a crap in someones thread and ignore it and move on instead. :dancewithme:
