I apologize to the community if my rant was a little harsh, but I believe in calling a spade, a spade. I, personally, have no problem with this. I do it myself, as do other people. The difference, however, is that I don't care who the spade is. If it is Skip, as it was in the recent Merrik thread, I will call him on it. If it is someone else, I will call them on it as well...even if it is aimed at Skip. I get a lot of flack for that but, a spade is a spade, no matter the target. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Your right, and in the past I've defended him on occasion, like when another member brought one of Skip's family members into the discussion. I took that person to task for it. But some of the posts upon which you based your point do not qualify in my eyes, because the person was generally responding to some previous attack or flaming statement made by a certain member who shall remain nameless. |

| | Posted: | | | | If you'd been around fior a while, you would know the problem isn't Skip, it's with every user except Skip. If everyone else would leave, there would never be a flamewar.
Seriously though, Skip's behavior is hardly the only problem the forum has had. We've had other jerks. One is unusually persistant, pervasive and defensive, though. | | | | Last edited: by Ace_of_Sevens |
