1 and 3 are true. 2, 4 and 5 are quite obviously untruths and expose your continued and puzzling petulance on this subject. You are doing a huge discredit to the forum's credibility by dragging this out. You've had your fun at my personal expense for no reason that I can fathom, but you continue to preach against insulting/attacking posters while giggling to yourself about insulting/attacking me. Let it go, take my name (or facsimile of my name) off it, and I'll buy you a beer next time I'm up there.
I agree with you 100% in your intent to keep the discussion civil and prohibit insults. However, we would not agree exactly on when this line is crossed. It is not so black and white, more a matter of intent and of the character types of the participants needs to be understood. I would buy you a beer and define this more clearly, if you like, aboard the MarAzul. I should be up there again next week.
Didja not read his stuff before? The guy has ALWAYS been a caricature. You must have missed all his posts about Sergio Rodriguez back in the day.
I haven't insulted or attacked you. An emoticon is not a personal insult. This fake outrage is very entertaining. That said, the emoticon is no longer named after you. It is named after me and a new member we have here. You let it go and keep your beer.
What is the character he has named for you? I do not get it where Sly is going with this attacking posters.
And I haven't named anything after @MARIS61. Years ago under the old forum software Denny renamed this emoticon after @MARIS61. @MARIS61 is now suddenly claiming that it is a personal insult. I have/had nothing to do with it. I had zero experience with that part of the forum software and was hesitant to mess with it for fear of screwing something up. But last night I go in and remove Maris61 from the emoticon.
Perhaps it is a perception, possible even misguided. Or perhaps not. Maris seem to detect it. I wonder why you would attempt to intimidate me. I am quite sure you would know that is not to be. but....
I remember when I got offended at a drawing. I was in 4th grade and my younger sister drew me with blonde hair instead of brown. It still chaps my ass when I think about it.
