BorisP Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 With all of the jeering going on, the lack of critical thinking, I am really having my doubts. Then I go to my email and there is this in it. Moderator Edit: Alleged private message content removed You know. The more days that go by, the more this place feels like the Yahoo forums. At least they are honest and say it to your face in the forums. I guess I should be happy. The Yahoo people usually try to attack my computer with a virus when they get mad. I guess you didn't think of that huh C4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralLee Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Is this neccessary? Maybe she just doesn't like you, and took it to PM/email. That's a lot better then posting someone's dirty laundry in public. Remind me to never send YOU a PM again.... :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daffydk Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 what does private emails have to do with this site regardless of who they are 'allegedly' from? Although I do understand your predicament. You are a fella with strange and weird concepts (no disrespect intended) and you get lots of out of the ordinary reactions in real life. And you thought that people from a sciefi msg board would be 100% understanding to your 'strange' ideas. And life just doesnt work that way. I think people are more understanding here. I bet you have gone alot further discussing your ideas here than with anyone else or anywhere else. But the problem is that you sometimes use demeaning words or language. my 2 cents! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat13 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 um wow . BorisP I think that GeneralLee put it best . keep flaming wars in your PMs and not out in front of the community ...but I digress to the will and whim of the mgrs here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorunNova Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Critical thinking... right... :rolleyes: Anyways, I agree with the above. Any personal grievances you might have with c4 are just that... personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weareborg Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Well, if they have sent you an e-mail, take their e-mail address and set it up for loads of spam, or send an e-mail back. did they say who they were, or was it annonomous? Are you sure that it was somebody from these forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elderbear Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Moderator Post With all of the jeering going on, the lack of critical thinking, I am really having my doubts. ... snip ... You know. The more days that go by, the more this place feels like the Yahoo forums. At least they are honest and say it to your face in the forums. I guess I should be happy. The Yahoo people usually try to attack my computer with a virus when they get mad. I guess you didn't think of that huh C4? A message like that has no place in the forums*. Neither does publishing a private message w/o the author's consent. Other places that would have been grounds for an immediate and permanent lockout. If you feel a private message is threatening, take it up with a moderator or NiteShdw - privately. If you're just annoyed - respond by PM if you like. You know that Starfleet wouldn't tolerate this kind of behavior from a first year cadet, much less an officer. Worf, escort Boris and C4 to Holodeck Three. Confine them there until this matter is settled. Computer! Execute program "The Cube" in Holodeck Three. Safety mode ... * EDIT: To clarify - the message you received would be unacceptable to post in the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mrthumps Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 talk about doing something that's totally uncool and rather dis-tasteful. Moderator Edit: text deleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralLee Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Like I said and asked a day or two ago now in another thread... Can we PLEASE not use the word Troll here on these forums anymore? We can work it out I believe. I'd rather not see anyone ever banned from here personally. Sure, some people are controversial, but, well.... just but.... I guess I can live with it.
