That's a flame? It looks more like a joking request to spell properly and use puncuation.

Yeah, I see no flaming either.

Not a flame.

Even I had to reread upwards comments. ;)

Ok. Well this might be the start of a fight.

Sigh...those two are constantly going at it...

I'm not siding with either of them - I think they should try and put their differences aside (but I accept that that is easy for me to say, and not necessarily easy to do).

Hardly flaming. No action taken.

Thank you!

As you can see, there are a few posters on General who have decided that a disabled, old, Vietnam veteran is unworthy to post in their pristine forum. I predict more of this same thing as time goes on.

Eutrusca, don't let the kiddies get you down! Not everyone on here bases who they like on NS by their political opinions alone... I certainly don't. We don't always agree on everything, but who gives a shit? I don't need to surround myself with individuals who parrot my own convictions.

You're certainly one of the few people I'd actually like to have a beer and play some pool with on NS. Can you imagine a lot of your retractors in this setting? :p I tone it down so much here, I couldn't even turn around in real life without them whining about something I've said or done to offend their prissy sensibilities. :rolleyes:

You shoot from the hip. Sadly, that's an underrated quality in these oh-so-PC days. I've always enjoyed your style, regardless of whether I've agreed with your statements or not. ;)

Thank you so much, Eichen! It's nice to see that not everyone on NS has become a whinning, whimpering, victimized little wimp! :D

Not everyone who doesn't like your posts fits this description Eut. Too often you take dissent with your views as some sort of personal dislike for you. Who you are matters less than what your opinions are on this forum, and the way you present them. You take it personally much too often.

I was not siding with either. If that came across that was not the attempt. I was just saying it looked like the start of a fight that might need watching.

Sorry, but I wasn't trying to be snide. I truly believe there is a small group that would love to see me gone for those very reasons. Perhaps I'm just getting paranoid in my old age. ;)

I would suggest that you quit with the "Add to the flammage list" stuff. That isn't helping your situation one bit and its making you look bad.

What do you suggest I do when this liberal mob decides to resume their harrassment? Since there are more of them than there is of me, if I report them nothing will happen. If I respond in kind, I will get banned. I suppose my only option is to just say nothing and let them continue to harrass me. Not a very good choice for an old military type. :(

You have an ignore list, Eutrusca. Make use of it. At your age, you should've learned to shrug off what other people say, or at least walk out of situations before they escalate.

That's not a problem for me in real life. Most people don't allow things to get to the point where they're irritating me. :D

I've never put anyone on ignore since I've been posting on NS General.

If they resume any sort of harassment, post it in Moderation. The moderators will hand out punishments if they see it fit to do so. If you decide to respond, watch your wording carefully, and if they upset you, do not fight back with flames. Walk away and take a few minutes to calm down because it's not even worth it to respond.

In all honesty, you don't have much else of a choice.

I would suggest you start, in order to prevent any further trouble.

I was just saying it looked like the start of a fight that might need watching.Oh no, I didn't think that at all :) I was just worried some people might think that I was trying to take sides. I enjoy reading Eutrusca's posts, and I didn't think the comments cited here were offensive, so I was defending him. But I enjoy reading Stephistan's stuff too, and would defend her on the same basis if she were in a comparable situation.

Hey, I'm liberal and I don't want to see you gone! You're an enrichment to any debate. (well, most debates :p )I am neither a liberal nor a conservative, really, but anyway, I agree :)

This threads issues have been dealt with; therefore, locked.
