    Are you being serious with all this? The HCP is why it took you FIVE years to leave the old site? Shit I had people tell me I’m the reason they came over here. I post now like I have for the past 10 years man, no clue what you speak of when you say I’ve “stopped”. And to be honest, I’m a little special and I do get a little special treatment. It’s inevitable man, sorry.
    And as far as asking you what your job is, that if you called me “son” on here you’d get fired........ I agree, I don’t get it. Thats why I asked. Very curious what you do if that is the case.

    @SlyPokerDog

    This is your time to show you are not bias and speak up. If not, then there is absolutely a bias, because I have been told that HCP has been told what HC is stating and HCP now says he has never been told. Please speak up and clear there air.

    Its about simply respecting other people. I don't go up to strangers and call them Rook and when they show annoyance at it, call them Francis and all that.

    Its called class. Get to know someone. Feel out their humor bone, or be yourself and insult from the get go, but if they show resistance, show respect enough to not continue.

    All it really takes is telling someone who is feeling attacked, or degraded or whatever that you are only joking and just having fun and to not take it serious.

    IF you don't show that person enough respect to do that, then don't expect to be respected in return.

    Its how adults play in a civilized world.

    Do have to deal with this today? It's my birthday and I would just like to have one day not dealing with drama.

    Yes, I have asked @HCP to stop. I think I might have even said please. I have asked many of you to do that from time to time because I don't get why some of you enjoy picking at each other so much.

    And by "you" I'm not directly calling you out. You as in you all.

    And as far as me being biased. I truly try not to be. I truly try to play things as fair as possible. I allow people to insult me as sort of a pressure relief valve for the forum. But to be honest, some of it has gotten really personal and it hurts because I don't say shit like that to anyone on here. Shit about my father, my mother, my dead grandson, me being a racist, I'm biased, I lack integrity. Some of you have a pretty low opinion of me as a human or dog being.

    And no OB, I'm saying you've said any of this, just venting.... and rambling.

    I wish you guys would stop picking at each other. It's no fun for me and for people having to read it that aren't involved.

    I've only read the post in which OB tagged me in. I have no idea what you all are arguing over and upset about. I promise I will go back later and read it all and give the most fair and unbiased opinion that I possibly can.

    Hey Happy birthday Sly. And thanks for taking a time out of it to set things straight. And shame on those who have actually called you degrading names and made those types of comments.

    Calling Sly bias? LOL. That is the furthest thing from the truth.

    Lol, be careful what you wish for. If you try to dish anything back to the seniors, they will consider you a bitch ass whiner and claim you ruined the forum!

    You have now had your warning and welcome to the forum!!! Have fun and don't take much anything serious :)

    As far as I'm concerned @SlyPokerDog didn't have to say anything.
    Anyone who actually reads this forum has seen HCP called out publicly by Sly.
    Just because HCP doesn't remember/and or is playing dumb. Doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
    I could prolly even find the public posts about it. But it's much more simple to not feed the mythical creature(I read troll is now considered an insult?).
    I've met Sly in person, I even know his name. He's a good dude.

    The socially accepted term is Head Master or Mistress.
    Principal is sexist.

    Get it together Sly.

    Happy birthday beeeeitch. As your present I didn't invite you to Mt. Tabor while I was in town this weekend.

    I missed people saying shit about your grandson. If that's true we need instabans for that shit.

    I'll break anyone's face who does it going forward if I have to. I think I may have said something about your integrity and I retract that. Bias? Sure you can be but I don't think you know you're doing it.

    Oh and I am white and I would want to be dviss1's friend but now you ruined it.
