This honestly breaks my heart, to see what the forums have devolved into. I hope we can bring them back to a place where all opinions can be expressed freely, without prejudice or personal vendettas being aired out. One can only hope.

Look here mr. Wanna be hot shot ram, I joined the other thread entirely on my own because my name was wrongfully brought up, and doing the same now. You are being nothing but an outright bully right now, just like when I first joined you accused me of being galonely and tried to intimidate me, but I showed you I don't put up with that bull. Now I'm only going to tell you once, keep my damn name out your mouth when I'm not involved and stop harassing my friends. I don't play that sh*t!

Ooooo I'm soooo scared. I brought up that u only showed up wen galonely was banned.....and u brought me up tday.....I was toting an M16 when u were sh*tting yellow, so it takes a lot more then words on a screen to scare me...get better. Again people, I'm ganged up on AGAIN. Galonely, like I've always said, my inbox never closes....

Military, that explains the arrogance, the need to always be right and think everyone should bow down to you. And no one has "ganged up" on you at all. You brought it on yourself by bringing things up that have been dropped and dragging my name in here when I have nothing to do with what is going on here. You're harassing, bullying and threatening galonely and disrespecting brites.

and mr. Hot shot, nect time you want to tell someone to "grow the f*** up" how about making sure you are taking your own advice before giving it. Now I'm sure the admin here is a just one so I'll let him deal with you from here. Were it me, you'd be gone on the spot from the threat, bullying and continuous harassment.

@yesman777: It's easy! Click on the forum button, choose what category your post will fit the best into, and then click *new thread*. You can post pretty much anything you'd like, and find the appropriate section for it :)

Quoted Post:

I feel that many users have PERSONAL thoughts about other members and those thoughts or opinions get brought out in posting. This should be STOPPED. Not everything should be addressed towards other users, nor should a post about them be brought up if not in a discussin with that user. I think personal views are interferring way to much these days

Bingo!

Quoted Post:

Unfortunately, the forums run on an interpersonal basis. People's views on one another are bound to make an appearance, and there's nothing anyone can do to change that. The key is to just be respectful. I, of all people, understand that it's not always possible to keep a neutral tone, especially when one is being attacked or someones personal bias is coming into play. The best we can do is handle ourselves with dignity, continue to speak our minds as respectfully as we can manage, and take our lumps (where appropriate).

Bingo!

Quoted Post:

Personal attacks MUST STOP but personal views cannot be taken out of the forums and still maintain a vibrant lively place to intermingle. Our personal views make the very idea of a forum viable! If only the public or generic views were being aired then what would be the point? Everyone would post exactly the same. To disagree vehemently with someone else's pov is not a personal attack. To reason and offer opposing views is not a personal attack. I will give an example, and bring up and old thread to try to clarify my point. I have a very strong opinion of what actions make someone a racist, and was debating whether my view is the correct view. That conversation included many opposing views, including Andres, I still disagree with him but none of us got personal...we were agreeably disagreeable. I personally always refer myself back to that thread to make sure I am comfortable that I am not getting personal. I have a discussion in mind that i check myself at the door because I did once get personal with another member while stating my pov and am careful not to cross that line again, even when innuendo and outright rudeness rears its ugly head.

Bingo!

That "arrogance" is what allows morons like this to be able to get on the internet and post his bullsh*t. It is with GREAT disappointment that, as I read this thread, I see no one with balls enough to dis-credit this above post. Men and women, on this VERY day, are putting their ***** on the line so c*cksuckers like this guy are able to waste precious oxygen. I guess everyone here is too busy posting about how hot they are or sympathizing with some fictitious guy who claims to have been beaten up. If you lead a vanilla, boring, robotic life, this is the place for you. Challenging boundaries builds strength and character....conforming to the status quo is for the weak....and judging by the non-response to this leeche's comment, there is A LOT of weak people out here. I put up with a lot of sh*t out here, but I will no longer be associated with a group of people who willfully allow someone to sh*t all over the men and women who put their lives on the line.....I don't associate with p*ssies. So go back to your little f*cking game threads, continue to wonder if you're hot or not, and keep believing you're in a relationship even though you've never met that person, and keep making yourself feel good based on your dumb ass karma score....and PLEASE keep not standing up for a g*ddam thing! I'm done with this place....
