Yeah. And when you see that someone isn't able to get that, it's time to shut the **** up and leave it be. It's pretty simple.

Agree to disagree. This is a discussion forum. I like to discuss things. Pretty simple.

Discussions are great and some friendly insults in the mix lighten things up nicely.
But when you see that the person you converse with is just pissed and isn't going to move an inch from where they are standing, any further discussion is unnecessary and dumb and leads to conflicts that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

1) welcome back rubber soul - keep posting
2) I have been cracking at people harder than ever recently- also like grindy says I’m not backing off when people get butthurt - in fact, when I smell blood I go for the kill - but like mlm says I am just joking - I can certainly take a joke and I’ve never once cried to a mod about anything ever - also, I don’t **** with people who don’t **** with me- but if someone goes tit for tat I find that amusing- generally I don’t start fights, I finish them
3) don’t dish it out if you can’t take it

Having looked at that thread it seems TH was name calling as well.

If guys want to leave that's up to them but this site is not some brutal place where people are being attacked for no reason and it doesn't make me a bully for believing it's not as bad as some are making out.

Edit: name calling wasn't the right choice of word. What I mean is the bants was not all one way.

wtf?

Hope TH comes back at some point

I don't think this site is that bad either. It's just that some times the button pushing goes overboard a bit. I've never personally felt attacked.

Challenge accepted.

Shazam and I are good example of having different opinions and still getting along.

****, man. TH has been one of my favorite posters for years. Won't be the same without him (who will I talk with Dredd about?). To be honest though, I realize that the atmosphere here isn't for everybody and it can go a little far at times, but I don't really want it to change. Too many boring forums that stay on topic to a fault and not enough ones with personality. If this forum is dying then I consider that the price of not sucking. Compromise is for henpecked husbands.

But if TH is reading this then feel free to PM me if you want to keep in touch on Skype or something.
