Shows how much I miss him.
There's a lot less arguing lately. Maybe that's a coincidence? Nah, I doubt it.
Kidding................kinda. Not really.
You know what madsplash, that was entirely uncalled for. Hasn't your half hour of fame expired already? Normally, I expect a bit of thread ninjaring - albeit in a light-hearted, joking way. What I
don't need is this blatant, juvenile calling out of FF. I haven't seen alot of attrition from you. You blaze in here, disrupt drew, and everyone else with your baseless predictions, try to market a catch phrase - and when you are called out - resort to disingenuous professions of concession. Newsflash - we barely notice when
you are gone. Stay the fuck out of my threads.
I was just kidding around. Sorry to have made you get your panties all up wadded up. I get along with FF just fine. He and I know where each other stand.
And is that some kind of threat? "Stay out of your threads"? If we were in person, I'd say, "make me", and I'll bet you couldn't. But I really don't care enough about you to even argue with you here. So I'll gladly stay out of this thread and I'll pull my post, even though it was in jest and FF knows it, because I've talked to him.
Relax.
Dude, I don't have a problem with you in general..in fact I was amused by the " we'll see" and your optimistic attitude is great...and I know you have been attacked left and right many times...but, I've noticed you making veiled threats about what would happen if you met someone you are arguing with in person. That is not cool at all and is uncalled for and not allowable here. I'm not a moderator or anything to make you stop doing it....I'm just asking you as a poster to stop. Just stop. Find another rebuttal to use, OK?

You don't understand. A threat is to say "I'm going to do this to you". I haven't said that. I just know from experience that 9 out of 10 tough talk type posts, don't have the balls to say those things to the person they are saying them to, when standing face to face. That's all. I would never threaten a person on a message board. I just let it be known that me, as a betting man, would bet that most people WON'T say the saame things to my face that they type. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.
I'm far from a violent person. The number of physical confrontations that I've had outside of my training and sparring, can be counted on my fingers, very few. I've learned not to say anything in type that I wouldn't say face to face. That's all I'm saying. You've never heard me say anything about confrontation that wasn't brought to me first as tough talk kind of command. I've never initiated that kind of conversation.
I understand that perfectly well. Do you think I believe anyone that has spoken to me the way they have on this board in the last couple of years would have the cojones or the desire to say it to my face if they met me in person? Heck no, I know they wouldn't. What you don't seem to understand is that when you say things the way you have about if in person it comes across as "tough guy" talk from YOU!
Hey..I have been here far longer then you..and I have been called every name under the sun in every twisted way imaginable by many..anything that has been said to you doesn't even come CLOSE to whats been said to me. Trust me..you've been treated with kid gloves so far in comparison!
With that said, I have never come back with things that indicate I would or could kick someones ass..I am in great shape physically and I have 3 grown sons who would not react kindly to things said towards me on here..but to tell someone that we would beat the crap out of them if they said it to my face is just plain stupid. Of course people would get their ass kicked if they said the same things in person to someone..thats a given. Why do you think they do it behind their keyboard instead? Because they can get away with it while sitting in relative safety. Chicken shits? Yes, you could say that but saying what you would do to them in person if they said it comes across as bravado "tough talk" and can be viewed as threatening...after all people do go to concerts from here and run into each other sometimes.
Do you get what I'm saying? If they said it to your face when they meet you THEN go ahead and kick their ass if you want. Just don't keep saying it here because someone might try to take you up on the challenge someday and pull out a gun instead of waiting on your first punch. There are a lot of wacko's in the world you know, and you don't know who you are really talking to on here if you don't know anything more of them then a screen name. Just like we don't know anything more of you then that. You really should find another way to retort if you want and not go down that road, but do what you will...just don't expect a good response from many here if you do.
