Dr. Shades, a word with you please?

[_Jersey Girl]

Are you saying that I, the thread starter, began this particular thread with "malicious intentions"?

Can't you read English?

Answer the question, Ray. Are you talking about me and why I started this thread?

[_Ray A]

Answer the question, Ray. Are you talking about me and why I started this thread?

I already answered the question, but you're apparently not very observant.

Are you accusing me (thread starter) of something malicious?

[_Ray A]

Are you accusing me (thread starter) of something malicious?

You had malacious intent towards Eric in the tone of the OP. When you want "a word with Shades", maybe you should PM him.

Why should I PM him?

Ray--

Jersey Girl started this thread AFTER I asked Eric point blank on the other thread if the avatar was a photo of Bob and his wife.

This was what I posted on the other thread:

Why is it necessary to use a photo of me and my wife as your avatar? She doesn't consent. That photo is nowhere public.

OK...the image in Eric's avatar is very small. It is hard to distinguish faces. Are you just making some type of smart-assed comment here, or are you serious?

If you hadn't cried wolf so many times in the past, and done things like making faux-Mod comments, I would be more inclined to believe you.

Check your PM's, Bob. Let's get to the bottom of this, now.

Eric....if Bob is serious...that avatar picture needs to disappear...YESTERDAY.

Eric refused to remove the avatar of his own accord. Skippy went on to file a report on the same thread. It was at that point that Jersey Girl created this thread to further address the issue.

Eric's refusal occurred BEFORE Jersey Girl started this thread.

Gosh, don't ya hate it when crow's the only thing on the menu?

[_harmony]

Harmony you didn't offer opposition in the form of intelligent, knowledgable, intellectually honest perspective on this issue. You offered it in the form of a smear campaign with goading being your objective.

I don't necessarily think that's why he left. I'm simply saying it's better for him to not waste his time with that sort of unproductive communication which can overshadow productive discussion.

Here's an example of one of your speculative, smear campaign..goading posts...

marg, if I want to goad someone, I do. If i want to smear someone, I will. And if I want to point out the inconsistencies in someone's story, you can bet I will. And I know my little barbs have gone straight to the heart of the target, when someone up and leaves the forum.

Don't mistake me for someone who actually cares what you think.

Was it necessary to start a thread? Why? What will change, any more than PMing Shades and resolving it privately? The only thing that has changed is that Eric has gone from the BB. What has this thread done for Eric, MDB poster, except hasten his decision to leave?

Eric refused to remove the avatar of his own accord. Skippy went on to file a report on the same thread. It was at that point that Jersey Girl created this thread to further address the issue.

So Eric is the "bad boy". He does one of the "most offensive" things ever done on this board. Bob has been lecturing anonymous cowards for how long now? With this conclusion:

I have come to realize that my rants about anonymity will lead to little change in human behavior, as I have come to the conclusion that most posters who spend a lot of time on the Internet are likely sociopathic to the point of not knowing right from wrong.

Bob, of course, is exempt from this. He is sane. He should have taken this up privately with Eric, if he had the balls to do so. But instead, he has continued to offer "sociopathic" explanations for Eric's behaviour (and all posters). The reason he won't take this up privately with Eric is because he knows that he has painted Eric as a "liar", and will get no sympathy from him.

I'm beginning to think that some of the most valuable posters here are worth jack****.

Although I don't often agree with marg, she is right on this one. All you've done, harmony, is display your ego. And now that Eric is gone, you must feel very victorious and vindicated.
