Couldn't send jts a personal message, he wasn't a member. And I made no comment about being mentally unsound I merely said "passive aggressive" and "cries for attention" and "acting out" none of which are mentally unsound. My post said "don't like guests starting BS threads" not a rule. I know the vols say it as if its a rule, but you all love to argue with us so much that you inspect and take literal every word of us as if we're a law firm when in fact there's over a dozen folks making decisions and interfacing with the forum, that we have to use soft definitions of things. Because you strive to catch us being duplicitous, and celebrate when you think you do. Odd hobby but hey... who am I to judge. We have to leave it loose because of an occasional mistake, an occasional logged out member with a sincere post. The fella that posted the night his wife died forgot to log in. Or Mike Seeger passing through. I was surprised and you were lucky that you didn't complain about those two. Hell, y'all even jumped down my throat once for posting as a guest while testing. Crazy man. Truth is, I never promised you fairness or a single standard. Never was if offered. You just assume it. Our judgement are more complex than the black and white you try to force us into explaining to you. And you only want it explained so you can find its weaknesses and exploit them. So if its not obvious why someone else gets to do something that you do not, then you are just not seeing the bigger picture that we are or you make us feel uneasy. We're nitpicked all damn day. Maybe I'm trigger happy today, but GUEST,jts was on our radar for a couple days and knowing it was you and knowing that you were starting a thread as a guest which we knew and now you admit was an going to be an issue, I had to address it publicly. And some of these words apply to more than just you. Wow, so it did turn out black and white. And your "I didn't think it was a big deal. Which for other people like Breadedbruce and Josepp it apparently isn't." is, by the sour grapes flip flop in back to back sentences as your admission, untrue. You clearly had it in mind when you created this thread. The only standard that you need to know about is that if we feel at ease with your human decency, sense of reason and of control, you are permitted to do most anything you want here. So making us feel at ease is all you need to worry about. Sometimes meeting us in person helps, sometimes being a pleasant person helps, sometimes being the bigger person helps. Being passive aggressive never helps. So, we good?
