Ummm, unless I'm missing the point, I thought we're meant to be having fun..? sure - I get that I'm just having a little trouble reconciling what personal 'fun' I'm supposed to be divining from this:QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Dec 1 2010, 09:45 PM)"...we're not trying to nail every sig. But of course you already know that. You just like getting these reactions..." - and this: QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Dec 1 2010, 09:45 PM) "...perhaps you'd like us to come there and wash your dick for you, sir?" - especially coming from an Admin member in his administrative capacity this thread was specifically created to address a rather insignificant but nonetheless 'serious' technical question the least we should expect from the TRF Administration is that they be civil, respectful and professional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostworks Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I tend to hold Administrators to a higher standard, for good reason - their behavior is the template for the rest of the boards' behavior (whether they like it or not.) If an Admin feels comfortable addressing another member with vulgarity/personal insults, that Admin gives permission for every member to treat any other member in the same way.

IMO look, we're 'down in the weeds' of what matters and what doesn't on a messageboard, DM that's not lost on me regardless of where the quote might've originated, it's poor form coming from an Admin period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you like to worry over every single little nit-picky issue the quote was quite well placed. IMO I used that particular quote because it's a well-known one from a well-known movie, and I really thought ghostworks would recognize it and get a kick out of it. As Digi correctly suggested, the use of that quote was designed to convey how nitpicky I thought ghost was being over this sig issue, and using a funny movie quote was supposed to lighten that up some. I also included the handy smiley to help the joke along. Oh well...sometimes jokes don't work.

But of course you already know that. You just like getting these reactions..." - especially coming from an Admin member in his administrative capacity As for this, lemme ask you...why DO you go through all this trouble to question everything we do here? I explained our position on big sigs in a clear and concise manner, with no hint of attitude. But wasn't good enough for you. I had no choice but to draw the conclusion that you bust our balls simply to get a rise out of us, solely for self-amusement. It sure seems like you have the whole passive-aggressive thing down to an art form. If that's not the case, then what's the deal with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
