Forums with "for OUR eyes only"

Furthermore... Do you wish to only sponsor the limited members on the forum?

YES.

YES.

That's like putting up all of those homerun fence advertisements (sponsors) inside the dugouts. Isn't the reason for sponsoring something for advertising?

Typical tactic when you haven't a valid response. Bring in Vic here?

I responded to what I considered required a response, and didn't respond to a lot of what I considered to be irrelevant to save time and bother. And why not bring in Vic?? Do you think all these thing happen in a vacuum; that what you said yesterday has no bearing on how we interpret what you say today.

I've concluded... You are hopeless and only exist for confrontation. So what's with that? never mind i know your answer... BS!

If you take a look at all of my posts, you'd have a hard time coming to that conclusion. I certainly don't avoid confrontation, when I see things that I feel warrant confrontation. Disagreement appears to be what you're aiming for, then you seems to be surprised when it happens. The points that I see as requiring a confrontational response are very often (but not exclusively) signed by some guy named "Gary".

But be that as it may, that you've "concluded" something means you'll never admit to being wrong. Surprise! Surprise! You are incapable of admitting that you are incorrect about anything. And you know what? That's going to continue to cause confrontation - with me or with somebody else.

I have admitted I was wrong before. Even in this thread i said I was only human or something like that. Take this quote from you and do a 180.
You can apply this to yourself pretty accurately. You can't even accept subtle criticism without dumping the whole thing and spinning it to make yourself look good.
There is this invention called a mirror. Have you seen it?

Then to be abruptly tossed under a bus when I offered to share their feed to again... to help promote their forum.
The ugly little thing about feed aggregaters is that they give ZERO value to the web page hosting them only the value of the person reading and clicking on it and off to their origin.

 

I know I'm going back wards here, Gary, but I'm just trying to help you and this forum.  The incident you are talking about was a prime example of board problems.  The people on this board are your CUSTOMERS, just like the ones who buy your glass are your CUSTOMERS.  If your glass customer insists on a hideous color, do you keep arguing with them until they leave and find someone else who will use the color they want?  When one of my customers wants a hideous color, I try to make suggestions.  But if they insist on the color, I do it. 

When the incident happened, you kept insisting that it was a good thing when the members of the board, your CUSTOMERS, flatly said that they didn't want it.  People left because of it.  If you had explained a couple of times, then gone with the will of the people, they wouldn't have left.  Sometimes it's better to compromise than to be right.

This may be against my better judgment but all I can say is I had full endorsement from the forum owner. I can prove this via PM.
Disappointment was half of it the other half was betrayal. Please don't make me post the PM. Trust me on this one...  

I recall I did finally give in but all along biting my tongue (tying up my keyboard fingers). The bigger plot unfolded shortly afterward. I was duped and tricked in believing in others. Strange how some people can change so quickly. It won't happen again...

My! That's quite an admission. Human, eh. Who'd have guessed?

Other than my complete lack of physical beauty, I have no problem with mirrors. And subtle?? What do you know about subtle? To you, anything that I say is spin, it stinks, it's B/S, it's ignorant or whatever. Such subtlety!

OK. Time to go to the back room and have a mature discussion on politics.
You won again. I can't top that absurdity. 
Before we go be sure to get your last word in here. I promise I won't reply to it.

Last word.
