On the ever decreasing subject of this issue of spoilers.
Unfortunately I know I'm just fueling the fire and this all probably very stupid, but my goat has been gotten, I suppose.
I apologize for my short temper and if this ends up with me being in the wrong, remind me I agreed to step down and admit so. Deal?
As I've been threatened by Haus, I'm making this public for any that care.
The spoiler issue has taken a backseat apparently to the issue of who is cooler online. It's certainly not about abuse, as calling one a wanker is an insult, not abuse and doing so after a moderator calls another poster an infant is also not bad form, just a continuation of the event.
I offer you the brilliant pundit Haus and myself. I'm doing this so he won't have to take time out of his busy schedule to post the conversation and to ask what the point of any of this is, something I've been asking from the beginning.
"The point, my slow-thinking chum, is that it is possible to be a fan without being an emotionally infantile mouth-breather, as many intelligent and interesting posts to the various fora on Barbelith indicate. You are not managing that, and instead are sending abusive PMs, demanding attention and generally spitting the aforementioned dummy for no particularly good reason."
Not true. My message was not abuse and I fail to see any spitting or calling for attention other than to seek a resolution. All of my posts on the issue aside from the initial spoiler have been to this end.
"Now, you clearly have no interest in making any actual progress or offering anything productive, but simply throwing around insults. As such, I see no reason to continue this correspondence. If you want to continue to PM me in this fashion, please be aware that it will be treated as harrassing in intent, and I will feel entitled to reproduce your messages on the Board and in private messages to other members. If you can manage a civil discourse, do so in the Policy."
I'm just following the civil example you've given, Haus, in your usual manner of reposting material from another's post and responding. I'm not sure if I'm cutting you as deeply as you have others, however.
Below, my initial message to Haus on his post which sought to bait a poster to respond in kind and not further the actual discussion. I admit calling him a wanker goes a bit far but I was getting very tired of his baiting and insulting behavior. So I admit to losing my cool.
