Johnd shame shame stay on topic and stop the unneccesary attacks on others.

The thing you referenced was written days ago and is water under the bridge.
The behavior of thos who caonstantly bash skip is far far worse than skips somewhat sarcastic remarks.

Duscuss the rules and what you like or do not like about them but stop the attacks If it's so dammned important to give skip the finger do so in the post called civility.

       

Oh and ill gladly take some recipies for spice cake

I actually took it as the new system would prevent those types of exchanges.  I didn't take it as an attack on any individual person.  Of course, I could be wrong there.

My point is that it was an totally unnecessaru swipe by, Hal. Typical for him, sadly but unecessary. Now quite personally i have no doubt that when the time comes Hal would ignore JohnD's comment and instead would nail me for defending myself. But we will see.

If it makes you feel any better, I would have nailed you both.  No...wait...that came out wrong.  What I meant to say was...  What I mean is...  Oh, nevermind.

What is fascinating Skip is that you assume that everything is about you! 

My comment was directed at the exchange in general!

I did not assume,that at all, Hal, i would have written the exact same post if you had directed it at somebody specifically. You ASSume too much, sir.  , not surprised. Very pretentious.

The point remains your comment was unnecessary and inflammatory and added NOTHING to this discussion (other than to momentarily derail it), DELIBERATELY so.

I don't see how Hal's comment could be construed as an attack if you accept that it was directed at the exchange in general. All Hal said was that the reputation system was needed. Obviously Ken Cole is of the same opinion, otherwise he would not introduce it.

That's a whole other issue that has nothing to do with whether it was an attack or not.
And Hal is certainly not the only one to indulge in that practice...

How can you possibly claim that you did not assume that my post was about you when your post that followed it immediately states:

Neither can I, Hal, I grow tired of simply defending myself from unnecessary, inflammatory attacks from the likes of you and Johnd.

If that doesn't sound like you assumed I was talking to you and you took it personally, I don't know what does.

Never mind, hal. <shakes head> I repeat I assumed nothing of the sort, hal. Your posts continue to do nothing but continue to keep this thread off track, I know instead of feeding your behavior I should simply ignore and let you go away.

As has been stated previously, this community decided that rude and/or unacceptable behaviour should be pointed out and the offending person asked to apologise or modify their behaviour. Skip was rude, so I asked him to please stop. This is not an attack, mearly an implementation of what the forum community requested.

Am I specifically targetting Skip? Yes, as he is the one forum member that is continually rude and bullying, and refuses to modify his behaviour.

Reputation system roll on, but I believe it will have no effect in convincing Skip that he needs to change the way he interacts with this community.

This is exactly the kind of thing that I'm tired off. Skip isn't the only one with a rude attitude here, they are some users that are worst offender in this forum. That's curious, but I've never seen one post where you comment on their attack ...

Let it die.  Everyone will get plenty of opportunities to vote positively or negatively on people's behavior.
