Well 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, ...[text shortened]... those who make them. No boxing for me, I'm afraid. I'm a lover, not a fighter. 😉
Cheers!
This is one of bbarr's empty promises. A lame tactic. Why ?
Because he has allready built in his escape routes in case he does indeed insult somebody as he has been doing all along.
Watch this:
BBarr: " ...am through insulting people directly "
Now knowing Bbarr he will undoubtedly start insulting people INdirectly. Who knows the exact difference ? Of course nobody.
"I'll only poke fun at ridiculous claims, and not those who make them."
There is a thin line between the two, a grey area, the area people like Bbarr and No1 like to work in.
That's why I say he makes empty promises, he builds in his escape routes so nobody can accuse him of breaking his promise ...
Another built in escape route: when somebody posts some "bigoted remark" concerning ......"
Who is to decide what bigoted is ? Precisely .... Bbarr. Another escape route constructed for the sole reason to bypass his promise.
That's why I claim:
...... Bbarrs promise "So, from now on I'll only poke fun at ridiculous claims, and not those who make them."
... is an empty promise. The future will prove me to be right. He may stay quite for a while but you cannot change the nature of the thingy. The whole story will start all over again.

Bbarr said he will stop only to fool us, so that he can return with some insult one day, this is an outrage! I am shocked and appluad.
Look at the bigger picure Ivanhoe, He is actually trying to take over RHP! you see by him saying he is going to be nice,he is trying to brainwash us all to march against Russ.
Thank god you relized this before it was too late Ivanhoe, you saved the day, Bbarr will be gone to jail now, where he belongs and everything will return to be ok thanks to the great Ivanhoe!

Believe 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 y ...[text shortened]... should apologize. You shouldn't post libel, Ivanhoe.

Originally posted by ivanhoeIvanhoe, I'm not going to argue with you because it's useless, but think about these things. If Russ agrees with you (as you pretend) that the "Wolfpack's" tactics are so detrimental to the site, how come me or BBarr or RC or Nemesio or Acloyte, etc. have never even gotten so much as a forum ban? Don't you think that shows that he doesn't have a problem with the way we post? Didn't one of the mods specifically tell BBarr that he should just keep posting like he has, that there was no problem with it? And didn't a mod specifically tell you that your continued posting in this manner is causing more problems than our posting?

Cribs' criticisms of the admins, mods, and the SSS aren't what Russ was talking about. Such criticism hardly constitutes the "threat of a war on RHP", which was what Russ claimed was going on the "Sheeppack" thread.
Anyway, from personal communication with Russ, I know that the "war" Russ was referring to was Cribs' trying to mask his IP address in order to access the site after his actual IP address had been blocked. The threat of a war was Cribs' threat to continue finding different ways to access the site, and thus force Russ to continue searching him out and blocking his access. I didn't know about these developments until I read the thread "Truce Proposal", and I didn't see that thread until after Russ's post in the "Sheeppack" thread. Further, my posts to Cribs' in the "Truce Proposal" thread were critical of how he was handling himself.
In short, as far as this matter is concerned, you don't know what you're talking about, Ivanhoe.
So, again, you are making libelous accusations and you ought to apologize.
Cheers!

Faith no more: " ... so I am living proof that some people join the forum thanks to the current atmosphere, becasue I enjoy getting ridiculed! :-)
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 wa ...[text shortened]... ve already been able to find out.
Please stand up against the bullies, don't support them.
A friendly advise : Don't.
You shift the focus from the case to the people presenting it. Thats never good netiqete and its seldom productive. I've said that before.
Apart from that you're not comming out to good presently.
Instead: Debate, state your oppinion, prove your case. You appear clearer and more rational when doing that compared to the last days of crusade against a particular group.
There are moderators to deal with people who acts as bullies, have faith in them. Don't pretend that its your job to do theirs.
To some of the other participants in this thread: The essence of the above might go for you aswell, think about it, let it be.

Indeed very silly. I didn't say this.
I don't buy your babblings. You knew what Russ was talking about.

I know your position Scheel.
Can you garantee that they will not disrupt the threads I, or someone else with which they disagree, will be opening in the future by lame Haikus, insults and other degrading remarks ?
... or are you suggesting just to accept their bullying ?
