Dedication To Samuel J. Hartley...AO's own SHartley

[cphilip]

Hey look if its a mistake then I will be willing to listen. In fact even if its a moment of bad judgement I will listen. All I am looking for is the truth and some contrition. I often lift temp bans early when I see good reason too. Have him email me. And its only going to be a three day temp ban cause the picture was not porn or anything like that. It was the genertion of a multiple account for flamming issue that pushed it over the edge for me. Makeing up a new account is evidence that the poster knew he should not have done it so he tried to hide it and do it anyway. Thats a pet pev of mine. I like to see people not hide behind stuff like that. Its dishonest. I do not care for that.

However I think Sam looked stunning in a donkey costume! I am sure he will treasure the flattery of someone going to such lenghts to "immortalize him"

damn...sorry sam, this was supposed to be my way of thanking you for being a pal, but it turned out to be a grudge match between C-The Mod-Phil and Syntax-The Bad Don't challenge the curse filter - cphilip-Error!!!


DING DING, TKO!!!

heh... well this is one of the reasons we often close "popularity threads". Without reason sometimes. Its almost always someone has an axe to grind with the subject member and will. They rarely are sucessfull no mater how much moderating they get.

In Sams case he tends to like to be "argumentative and controversial". Even downright agravating sometimes! He loves that stuff. And so people tend to love him or hate him. There seems to be no in between. So it's best you not realy even try to start these kinda threads at all. Many members would do the same to me too! But then there are a lot of them that are nice and polite and just say nothing at all cause they got nothing good to say. God bless them!

Also people need to remember two things. one, It's the internet and Two, ...it's the internet...

There is only one button that exists in all the places in the internet. Universal Ignore button. It's in your head. Use it!

I will let this one sit a while longer but I fear its doomed from the start.

look in the corner of each post, it says "ip logged." so unless theres some guy who went through all the trouble of spoofing his ip just to get him banned from a paintball forum, then he did it himself.

thanks...its over and settled privately. I would rather not discuss the issue further in public. It's between me and him and we have settled it that way.

And on that note I shall close it up. Seemed like it was on an upbeat note and I think its a great place to leave it. I could comment on but lets leave it where it is.
