If anyone has such a big problem with the board and the people on it, or how it is ran... Nobody makes you come back... If your unfairly banned, better the reason to leave.
That was the thing with Horns, he would say he got attacked in every post, well why keep coming back then??? If you think the board is ran so biased, the internet is like 50% messageboards... goodluck, have fun. |

Brutus, it has nothing to do with grading and school. It has to do with how easy it is for someone to read. If it takes someone 2 or 3 times as long to read what you write as opposed to a well written message, they will either 1) Not read it, 2) Read it, but by the end simply not care, 3) Think you're an idiot.
Now explain to me how any of those 3 things accomplishes any of your goals. |

I guess I was absent a few days, because I have no idea what the "hornsmaniac situation" is that created all of this.

Ok, well then I take it back. I guess that statement was too strong. I was just bringing up an observation. I probably have missed your pasts these past few days. So if you have cooled down, then cool. We cool?

Not to antagonize you Troy, because you do seem to be more of a voice of reason than most, but I don't want to alighn myself with any side here. I just think that there should be more of a level of objectivity and just because I'm pointing that out I have been put on the anti-SkyDog side.

This is always the lamest post.. dude, this one thread or those string of threads does not reflect on the entire board. Horns liked the discussions, he didn't like being bashed.. Same with everyone else man, no one likes being trashed, but even if they are, they would still enjoy the other topics... |

I think itsmade tons of sense, and everything this "small group" says makes sense continuosly...i have supported HM in threads, so you make call me one of the few, but i honestly see this point so clear...he goes after ryan and skydog because they are the ones that went after him...his old accounts he was very active at telling the facts to everyone, and the majority turned away blind to the facts due to your suppost of Sky... I am and have been a big fan of what this board does...its not just an FOF board, the dynasties and hattrick forums are great, and i once thought GD was great...i started off a so called "dynasty boy," sticking to that forum and avoiding the general discussion in favor of tales of X-Com and many others...then i was slowly pulled in with interests to the GD when everyone got along like in the Dynasty forum(where everyone still gets along)...HM was not even a member yet, as were many of you not yet at this board...ive been here for 2+ years...only recently have i begun posting more frequently due to a problem i see...the "majority"(like 20 out of 2,500) is turning into the fanboys i was so gald our board didn't have...since then this board and GD hav become less and less fun, and i again find myself sticking to the dynasty forum and hattrick now much more than the GD....it used to be a place where we had honorable intellectual debates, and now we only argue...im sorry you are oblivious to the points made, but they are valid points...don't discredit it because of his lack of posts...shorty and i are two big posters on this board(with shorty having the # and me the experience...) Take time and actually read their posts...you might actually agree with a few...you don't have to agree, but you can respect them for what they are...i believe south park said it best:"Tolerance just means putting up with something....you dont have to like it..." Do me a favor and read the first post...then respond

As for myself, I can say that I don't like to take a side unless both parties are present, so I can't make a judgment either way. What I can say is that someone who enters the forum with a newly created account, a chip on his shoulder, and a thread titled "skydog and ryan s. can rot in hell" has already lost creadibility in my book.

Brutus can't take his title back now. He was pissed. I'd probably post something worse if it had happened to me.
Read the post and quit using these excuses that he is an idiot or a guy with poor english skills. If he wanted to, he could write with capital letters.. it isn't difficult, as he said. This is annoying. |

Its a lame post because they either deal with how the board is ran, they bitch and complain, or they leave... and the second one likely is gonna get that person banned or trashed after a while.

PJ,
One, the post was long. By the time I posted it, there were nearly 15 more posts I hadn't read when I started it. I don't care about people antagonizing, nor does Skydog. I've seen people rip him to shreds and he hasn't banned them. Brutas, Still in school? Yes, when you make a public rant about your hatred for somebody, how you make your point has a lot to do with how much respect you get. Try going into a job interview with unwashed jeans, a baseball cap and a five o'clock shadow and see if you get the job. . . no matter how good your points are. The title of the thread pretty much sealed your fate from my end. Trying to get through that incoherent garbage gave me even less reason to care about your cause. If your 4 emails to Skydog and Ryan S. were anything like the rant above, I'm not surprised in the least they banned you. Skydog will NOT ban people for simply speaking out against him. He also doesn't take banning people lightly. He gave HM chances after many people in this forum called for his head. To play martyr and pretend otherwise is doing him a great disservice. TroyF |

do you read what you post. 1) my essay structure has absolutely nothing to do with interviews or my job etc. etc. i have a good job, i can spell, and make complete sentences. this is a message board and i type freely and no, i dont take the time to write it in essay form because i dont have to. 2) the title sealed my fate. fine. it wasnt meant to make friends. 3) pay attention. i emailed ryan not skydog. ryan never responded and i imagine it is because he had nothing to prove and skydog was in control. 4) apparently skydog does take banning people lightly because he banned me from his assumption, which was wrong, and which he could and would not even try to prove. he assumed i was one of you.

I tried to read this thread and I still have no idea what is going on.
First off, Brutus, are you sure that Skydog thought you were Hornsmaniac? I seem to remember from the other thread that SD never said who you were, but that there was some reason to ban you. I'm just seeking information so I know what the hell is going on. I thought it was someone other than HM. Second, try to take a consistent stand and just state what you mean. Throwing in stuff like saying you don't care if you banned just distracts from the issue because your post proves you obviously DO care. Third, without knowing what happened in these PM's, isn't possible that Ryan just hasn't gotten back to you (it has only been a day)? And I would be interested to know what you said to SD before he said he didn't have to prove anything. I imagine if it was anything like the first post in this thread, you wouldn't receive a very positive response. I have no sides on this issue, but somebody please tell me what is going on here.

never said skydog said i was horns. in fact he said he didnt think i was horns when i messaged him. he said he thought i was an fof veteran hiding with a new id and banned me for that reason. it was in the original thread "guess who horns is.." that i was thought to be horns right away because of my post count. also, skydog never explained to anyone what his reasons were am i mistaken? ryan did get back to me for one message, so it wasnt a lack of time. he asked me "what is your id" and that was it. what i said to skydog in the messages was for him to prove that i was someone, and take the time to research it before banning me. he said he didnt have to prove anything and didnt care and that his stance would not change. we went back and forth on this for awhile. i acted much differently to him than the thread of this post. i acted out of disgust with the thread of this post and have apologized for it, but cant take that back. skydog never gave me a chance to prove anything nor did he prove any of his perceptions and assumptions. anything else? |

1) your essay structure DOES have everything to do with how much respect you get here. I don't care about spelling or wheather you catch every comma. I do care about how quickly it takes me to figure out what you are trying to say. 2) Your title "pretty much" sealed your fate. You'll note I still took the time to read through the paragraph of nonsense before I came to my conclusions. 3) I said Skydog and Ryan S. The two mods do speak to each other. If you wrote to Ryan S., I find it hard to believe Skydog never heard about the mail. 4) Those are facts I don't have yet. I have your side of the story. When I have Skydog's, I'll form my own opinion. Skydog's history has earned him that right. Your response and the way you went about making your case after being banned causes me to lean his way already. I don't care wheather you like that or not. TroyF |

well heres a nugget for you to play with troy. essay structure has nothing to do with life except for a few things and one of those things is certainly NOT this forum. if that is all you have, or rather one of your key pts. to bash me with then that is sad. and my post is not nonsense. it is fact and it is what happened. skydog and ryan can fill your eyes with their side all they want, but if they are honest and men then what happened will come out in the end. i was acting properly toward them yesterday and today until i had enough of their sidestepping. and i dont remember asking if you were leaning my way and if i liked it or not. stop assuming things. enough of that has already been done the last 2 days.

I post in a similar manner to Brutus....does that mean you don't respect me? I believe that i am a very intellectual person, and have only disagreed with you on this one point(be it HM, Brutus, or whoever the FOTM...flame of the moment...at least i thought it was clever )...Does my posting stlye have anything to do with your respect for me as a poster?
If it does than im sorry but that is simply pathetic. Im not some hot chick who you judge immediately(i do that all the time). I believe that posters on this board deserve to be heard out. Do you all not also agree?

Well, as they say, mockery is the highest form of flattery. I guess I'll be struggling to sleep tonight cuz I didn't get the Brutus Seal of Approval to disagree with you.
BTW, I did manage to struggle through that slop you call a first post. It took me a while, but I did it. I really have nothing else to offer except humor at this point, as what I have to say has already been well-stated by others (most accurately by TroyF). I guess I await on word from SkyDog to hear all sides of this, than I can determine what my opinion is. Until then, I guess you'll just have to learn to deal with my baited humor. Chief Rum

Chief,
Never claimed I was the best speller in the world. If you choose not to take my posts seriously, you have that right. Brutus, If you don't care what I (or others on this forum) think, why bother writing a post at all? As for essay structure and life. . . read Sab's post. KWhit, Sadly, that post is a bit long for a quote of the moment nomination. If we had essay of the moment, you'd be a shoe in for essay of the year. Thanks for the laugh. TroyF |

Dude, just having a little fun at your expense. It was too easy. I had to do it.
The point many of us are making is that if you really have a valid point to make, you will get it across much better if people can actually read and understand it. When most people see a huge blob of text with no capital letters in it, (not to mention a thread title telling someone to "rot in hell") they tend to ignore whatever you are trying to say. |
