He's got that barbarian beard, but #1 predicted that Roy Jones, Jr. would
lose in his bid to regain the IBF Light-Heavyweight belt. This suggests that
#1 might do a little boxing himself....

At least that would have a definitive conclusion...
But then a rematch, then a rubber match, &c &c.
No, it will still be never ending.
I fight in the bantamweight division (or lower if I suck some weight), I doubt there's anyone light enough to fight me; bbarr clearly is much heavier, and #1 talks like he's a heavyweight, so count me out.

Originally posted by Faith No MoreWell I, for one, am through insulting people directly. Although there are times when I feel it is deserved (e.g., when somebody posts some bigoted remark concerning homosexuality), it isn't conducive to actual debate, and it usually ends up obscuring the weaknesses of the positions under examination. So, from now on I'll only poke fun at ridiculous claims, and not those who make them. No boxing for me, I'm afraid. I'm a lover, not a fighter. 😉
Please dont twist my words, I dont find Bbarr bad mannered, I find it hilarious that you call a philosophy student a bully (lol).
I doubt people leave the site because of that, this is the debate forum, in the debate forum people fight and disagree. I personally much prefer the way things are now - that everything is made in a homurist way, instead of ...[text shortened]... sh of insults.

I missed the fight. Was it any good? I heard people were booing for inactivity by round 6 or 7.

That wasn't an instance of you just calling somebody a name, Ivanhoe. You were accusing me of being a traitor to RHP (whatever that means exactly). There is a difference between calling somebody a name, and accusing them of wrongdoing. You were being libelous, and you really should apologize for that. Interesting that you don't re-post the posts of yours ...[text shortened]... After all, you're guilty of both.
Also, I still think you should get some rest.
Cheers!
I do accuse you of pretending to not know what Russ was talking about in his post to warn you, mayharm and the usual pack in the "Sheeppack" thread. You pretended not to know what Russ was talking about. Weird, because I and many others, looking at how many votes Russ's post recieved, did understand. But bbarr our clever intellectual, the philosopher didn't understand. You're a pretender and a liar. In the given situation you're also a traitor. It is just one of your tactics to pretend you don't understand. People who are used to debating you must know this, others don't. You may get away with that with your not so clever friends or you may receive compliments from your blind admirers for being so clever (see Cribs's "Forum Wars" http://michaeldweber.com/forumwars/viewforum.php?f=1 ) Your explanation of your "innocense" was so formal and childlike I had to laugh about it. I didn't take that seriously. You really think you are so clever you can fool people all the time. Then you really must be a fool or arrogantly blind.

I think that you should continue insulting people in public, but send them a PM explaining that you are not doing it to offend them but to prove a point to everyone, Im sure people will understand.

Originally posted by ivanhoeBelieve what suits you, Ivanhoe. I didn't know what Russ was talking about at the time. I quickly learned what he was talking about when I visited Cribs' forum, and found him talking about negotiations, and referring to a 'truce'. If you go and read the thread "Truce Proposal", you'll find that I was actually criticizing the way Cribs' was handling the whole thing. You'll also find that my first post in that thread occurred after my response to Russ. You should also note that I hadn't posted in Cribs' forum for days prior to posting in the 'Truce' thread, and hadn't visited there. This is all public record, and you can research it if it pleases you. As I said before, I don't support any 'war' on RHP.

For these accusations, you really should apologize. You shouldn't post libel, Ivanhoe.

Originally posted by nemesioActually, Johnson took it to Jones from the opening bell anfd had him on the ropes most of the fight, It was a Jones crowd, so I think they were booing more at his inability to keep Johnson off him than due to inactivity in the fight (there was a lot of action actually). Then, BOOM!, fight over!
Oh. I must have misread the post you made; I thought you were predicting, not reporting.

And I only talk like a heavyweight; I'd say I'm a junior middleweight. And I don't box; but I do enjoy a good bar fight occasionally!

If this is what the admins want then so be it. It is my opinion that they are choosing for the wrong crowd if they want the forums to be a lasting part of the RHP community. These bullies have a destructive way of operating.
If you state: " .... I saw a few times that some helpless newbie trying to start a discussion but was shot down by a clash of insults."
... that's exactly what I mean. Do you want those Forum bullies roam through threads, having their fun at the expense of others ? .... chasing them away ? Not me .... I stand up against them even in the case they present themselves as philosophers or lawyers. They are the worst, they have the best tools ..... but I'm not afraid of them as these gentlemen have already been able to find out.
Please stand up against the bullies, don't support them.
