Now I would read through a lot of it ... I tried to calm people down but People are throwing around terms such as "traitor" and "un american" enough that it got people all riled up

Specialy between Corneliu
and
Tekania

There is enough of them in that thread that i would just read through it ... a lot is so borderline that its hard for me to call

Not trying to tattle ... and I think the topic is very valuable to discuss but tempers are staying heated up and not sure they will cool down on their own (I tried and it worked for a bit to get them to calm but they are back at it)

I did apologize to everyone the first time and if I do deserve punishment, I will accept it with no ill-feelings towards anyone.

Just a personal observation, but having read through some of your posts with CanukHeaven, I'd have to say that your sig is quite flamebaity too!

Though a tangent to the thread in question, since the subject of a signature was raised:
Does CanukHeaven get along with Corneliu?

The only part of the sig I'd question is the reference to another player. The statement about the RL UN and Dafur (sp?) didn't seem directed at an individual, and I wouldn't consider it much different than a political opinion. But I assumed that CanukHeaven didn't take any offense to the sig, if he / she did, then I'd agree with you.

No, they don't. Not at all. In fact they get quite heated with each other at times. I don't know if CanukHeaven cares or not about the sig, he may very well not care. In that case I certainly don't care either, it was just an observation. But the laughing at him to the extent that Corneliu goes to in his sig, seems like he's trying to anger or piss off CanukHeaven. But like I said, if CanukHeaven doesn't care, I don't either!

In that case, I completely agree with you.

He hasn't said anything about it so I'm not going to worry about it and if it did offend him, alwell.

The comment was funny as hell. Of course I laughed the way I did.

Well if it doesn't offend him, then carry on. But to say "if I did offend him who cares" that's not kewl and then would be flamebait.

The comment may of been funny to YOU! I'm not sure everyone would agree with your opinion. I know I don't. It's been my experience that CanukHeaven is quite informed and he makes for a great debater. I have seen your posts as well and you have your moments too. However I realize that CanukHeaven is much older than you and he probably is just letting it go perhaps. You could learn quite a bit from him. He appears to be a pretty wise guy. Instead of using some childish sig, why not engage CanukHeaven in real and intelligent debate? That would seem to me like the more mature thing to do. But as stated, if he doesn't care, I don't either. (I don't know if he does or doesn't) I have just watched you two go at each other in a few threads over time. It's not a right or left thing, I guess it's about class or style even. I guess it's not my call. I was just making an observation.

Xan!

As to the flamewar: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9080864&postcount=146

As to the sig issue ... we clearly have a different opinion on what is funny, and whether to immortalize it or not. However, barring a complaint from CanukHeaven, it's not illegal.
