no respect

[Gator]

Wow, you really got me there!

[Jackal]

Who doesn't know that? If you watch the NBA, you know that.

We're losers? If you say so Captain Obvious.

[air gordon]

you had freebie in flaming the guy, Jackal. stay on topic.

why you being such a jerk anyway? no one gave you a hard time when you were debating on watching the movie or crying about the nose or crying about the Machinist not being shown where you live

moving right along...

[DaTruth36]

^^ Thank you.

[Jackal]

you had freebie in flaming the guy, Jackal. stay on topic.

If someone mentions Tracy McGrady in a Kobe Bryant thread & I keep talking about that, it's considered off topic? Seriously, I had some fun with with what HE posted, hardly off topic. Stop being a Tales. Just now you'll pull out a spoon too.

why you being such a jerk anyway? no one gave you a hard time when you were debating on watching the movie or crying about the nose or crying about the Machinist not being shown where you live

Woah woah woah Mr. Mod, why are you going off topic? If you're going to uphold the rules & point them out to me, I suggest you do the same for yourself. I was talking about McGrady & Carter who were mentioned in this thread and a certain someone came in lol'ing & rambled off something about watching Wedding Crashers & The Machinist. Not once, twice. Which happens to be related to the General Talk, not even NBA talk. See the double standards anywhere?

Who said you couldn't give me a hard time? Did I say you couldn't do that? You chose not to give me a hard time about the nose whining. That's your choice.

Give me a hard time about the Machinist not being shown here? Lmfao, how can you give me a hard time based on the fact a movie wasn't released over here? Seriously Mr. Mod, stop groping at anything to steer the topic back "on topic".

Pff, talking about on topic & he goes offtopic himself.

How bout that eh? Jarron & Jason are indeed brothers.

[air gordon]

the forums are not your little island so there's no need for this little hardcore attitude. you need to give this James Frey thing up

you need to learn and practice these things called courtesy & respect on the forums

i try to keep it lax in the NBA forum but your little attitude/behaviour in this thread was enough. not once, but 3 times. I cited an example showing how other posters showed patience towards you and gave you some guidance in response to your comments in the movie thread

But you just take it the wrong way and continue on with this chip on the shoulder attitude

you're being warned

If you think my modding is out of line, contact administration. If you have any more comments for me about this situation, kindly discuss this with me on MSN or leave a message in my inbox

[J@3]

Note to self: Google "James Frey"

[Jackal]

Note to self: Google "James Frey"

OMG OMG stop going offtopic omg, vince carter is the cousin omg, james dean, off topic wow, warned, hot spoon machinist, chocolate chip on shoulder.

[cyanide]

james dean

I was told that I looked like James Dean once.

Okay, moving right along now...

Seriously, shut up. You're critising Nick for doing a job that you couldn't handle yourself? It seems like you're looking for a flame at every opportunity, all Nick told you was to calm down. For a self proclaimed asshole, you sure do have thin skin.

[peaches]

Wow you guys are retarted. How's that funny?

I know he was being sarcastic, but I posted it for the people who didn't know.

Fucking losers. LMAO

You posted that Jackal was being sarcastic? I think everyone kinda noticed that with all the "Omg are you serious?" "Where did you hear that from?" "I Would of never guessed!".

lol.

[Nick]

Lol what's with trying to put a blanket on top of Jackal? I thought it was fuggin' hilarious what he did. And it wasn't offensive.

This thread wasn't going to be a thread of huge discussion anyway. No use crying over spilt milk. Why not have a little fun?

BTW, You gotta love Duncan's sense of humour.

[Laxation]

i think you all need to stop your bitching and let jackal flame the guy for not picking up the sarcasm... its dam funny

[Matthew]

Nobody is trying to restrict Jackal, all Nick said was calm down and he goes bizerk?

[Jackal]

You're critising Nick for doing a job that you couldn't handle yourself?

I couldn't handle? According to who is that? Everyone was having a hissy fit & I felt it was in the best interest of the forum. Now do excuse me, wasn't Nick the one that gave up his spot because he was seemingly to "tied up" to help out the forums when I was a mod? Oh right, you were doing your own thing during that period.

I respect you & all, always will, I respect Nick, but don't give me that shit. I couldn't handle? If by deleting posts and such, then no, I don't do that, but during whatever time I had, I tried the best I could. If you think differently about that, so be it.

It seems like you're looking for a flame at every opportunity

Am I? It was a funny flame to that person and more than one decent (note, decent) person has said they found it funny. Nick felt it wasn't funny & I was breaking rules? Say wha? Who was I flaming? Nick? I was being sarcastic to that person & Nick went on about Wedding Crashers & The Machinist. How come no one bothers to address that offtopicness?

all Nick told you was to calm down.

Where was I hyper? What was the reason for him to ask me to calm down? Because he didn't like the post? That's pretty much it, right?

For a self proclaimed asshole, you sure do have thin skin.

Again, what are you basing that on? Thin skin? You got that out of my post, that I have thin skin? I defended myself. I felt Nick didn't make much sense the first time around & it was a lot more repulsive that he turned around telling me to stay on topic when he was the one who went off topic, way off topic.

Seriously, tell me why that isn't being addressed, what's with the Jackal's a douchebag attitude, from you of all people?

Lol what's with trying to put a blanket on top of Jackal? I thought it was fuggin' hilarious what he did. And it wasn't offensive

I never abused the person once, is that even considered a flame now days? That was just an uber way of being sarcastic. Isn't he the one who called me a "fucking loser"? Why isn't that being addressed? Besides Barnsey, you're not the only one who thought it was funny.

But alas, Air Gordon felt I was flaming the guy & going off topic in this spectaculiar debate we were having, so he felt I should be "officially" warned. So be it I suppose.

Nobody is trying to restrict Jackal, all Nick said was calm down and he goes bizerk?

I got "warned", that's not restriction? I was asked not to be sarcastic, I was told I got away with a "flame". That's not restriction? Basically he said not to post the way I posted, I shouldn't give him shit because nobody gave me shit about Wedding Crashers & The Machinist. Isn't that the case? Or do you see it some other magical way?

Matthew, thanks for your input, it's a pleasure to know that my "offtopicness" & "flames" are noted in everyones books and that the moderators' off topic is considered as doing his job, and a moron's response of "fucking losers" is considered the making of a great thread. Kudos.

Tell me I don't have a point. Then again, I have thin skin, as soon as I write more than a line, I'm offended & I get effected & I want to dish out shit but can't handle it when it's dished back to me. But ofcourse.

[Matthew]

I respect you & all, always will, I respect Nick, but don't give me that shit. I couldn't handle? If by deleting posts and such, then no, I don't do that, but during whatever time I had, I tried the best I could. If you think differently about that, so be it.

Moderating isnt just above moving topics and enforicng rules, its about setting an example. I dont know why you quit, but the bottom line is you did quit, so you should never criticise someone for doing a job that you quit yourself.

Am I? It was a funny flame to that person and more than one decent (note, decent) person has said they found it funny. Nick felt it wasn't funny & I was breaking rules? Say wha? Who was I flaming? Nick? I was being sarcastic to that person & Nick went on about Wedding Crashers & The Machinist. How come no one bothers to address that offtopicness?

Come on, you know that you jump at anything Nick (air gordon) says towards you.

Where was I hyper? What was the reason for him to ask me to calm down? Because he didn't like the post? That's pretty much it, right?

I suggets you take another look at your posts in this thread and tell me that you werent worked up in it.

Again, what are you basing that on? Thin skin? You got that out of my post, that I have thin skin? Laughing I defended myself. I felt Nick didn't make much sense the first time around & it was a lot more repulsive that he turned around telling me to stay on topic when he was the one who went off topic, way off topic.

No not the one thread, its on alot of things in prior instances. I almost never judge someone off one post, unless his name is sit and he posts pictures of terrorist victims.

Seriously, tell me why that isn't being addressed, what's with the Jackal's a douchebag attitude, from you of all people?

So telling you to shut up is saying you're a douchebag?

Seriously though, you post how many words in reply to a one liner by me? And you don't consider that thin skinned or jumping at the opportunity to flame? Same with Nicks reply, he tells you to calm down and you come up with another essay.


Just.

Calm.

Down.

Simple isnt it?

[Jackal]

Moderating isnt just above moving topics and enforicng rules, its about setting an example. I dont know why you quit, but the bottom line is you did quit, so you should never criticise someone for doing a job that you quit yourself.

Setting an example? I see Air Gordon doing that, but how is the way I post, different from yours or Jae's? Now please help me get this straight, are you saying I'm setting a bad example by the way I post or are you saying because I quit, that was a bad example? I'm not too clear on that one.

Come on, you know that you jump at anything Nick (air gordon) says towards you.

That was the case in the previous thread you spoke to me about it, since then me & Nick have had...well the closest to being "civil" to each other. I don't know if you missed that or anything, but I suggest you check out the Movies thread, we've interacted in a most normal fashion, you of all people should know I try best to heed your advice, given you've always looked out for me in the past, I tried to just not jump at stuff Air Gordon, the Movies thread would probably be the best example.

Seriously, you're still not addressing my queries. How am I not supposed to react the way I reacted after a response about some bullshit about not watching movies? How can you not see that was just an attempt to get me this way, riled up. You tell me what the point was of posting me not having seen the Machinist, if you can clarify that for me, I will say you ruleth all along with Nick.

I suggets you take another look at your posts in this thread and tell me that you werent worked up in it.

I took your advice & I re-read my posts, I was worked up in one, the one where he warned me for getting away with a supposed flame. Don't I have a good enough reason to get worked up about it? He tried to get me "on topic" (what a topic) by using a flame of his own. Are you really surprised I reacted the way I do? Or should I just have gone yeah, I was way out of line for being sarcastic towards that guy. Which again I have to stress was non-offensive to the max. I never even sweared at the guy. What was I warned for?

No not the one thread, its on alot of things in prior instances. I almost never judge someone off one post, unless his name is sit and he posts pictures of terrorist victims.

Based on the altercations between me & Nick you mean? As I said, I've been trying not to get worked up about Nick, it was going fine until he saw my post as a major flame & that I was breaking the rules, when I...and others feel it was a trivial call. He just needed a reason. He got it.

So telling you to shut up is saying you're a douchebag?

Like you don't pick things up from a single post, I didn't pick that up from a single sentance. Look at your entire post, that post basically paints me as a childish person looking to fight with Nick for any reason. In the past, I'd say you're completely right, this time, and I'm talking about THIS warning in particuliar, given I felt it wasn't called for. Especially since it wasn't the topic of the year to start off with.

Seriously though, you post how many words in reply to a one liner by me? And you don't consider that thin skinned or jumping at the opportunity to flame? Same with Nicks reply, he tells you to calm down and you come up with another essay.

You still haven't answered the question. What was I hyper about? Why was I being told to calm down? According to his posts, it's because I haven't even seen the Machinist & Wedding Crashers. I think a simple "what the fuck" will do here.

Just.

Calm.

Down.

Simple isnt it?

I.

Wasn't.

Hyper.

To.

Start.

With.

Well, that was fun.

[air gordon]

James Frey. definitely worth a google search

[Matthew]

Setting an example? I see Air Gordon doing that, but how is the way I post, different from yours or Jae's? Now please help me get this straight, are you saying I'm setting a bad example by the way I post or are you saying because I quit, that was a bad example? I'm not too clear on that one.

Why dont you look at what im responding to, before just looking at my comment and getting a comment out of it to look like you're being picked on. Nobody forced or even asked you stop moderating.

That was the case in the previous thread you spoke to me about it, since then me & Nick have had...well the closest to being "civil" to each other. I don't know if you missed that or anything, but I suggest you check out the Movies thread, we've interacted in a most normal fashion, you of all people should know I try best to heed your advice, given you've always looked out for me in the past, I tried to just not jump at stuff Air Gordon, the Movies thread would probably be the best example.

I saw that thread, and congratulations. But in this thread, all he did was tell you to calm down. Have a look at your first 2 posts.. here I'll even quote them for you:

You don't say. I'm speechless, I would never have guessed it, one has a crazy eye, the other doesn't. Omg, are you sure? How come one is called McGrady and one is called Carter? Damn man, cousins? Well, in a way they are alike, they both bitch, whine & moan to get traded, but I never knew they were related, wow!!Like first cousins or distant cousins?
Jesus, they even played in Toronto together!! OMFG, that's so cool!! Shocked Shocked

Next thing I'll hear is that Vince Carter & Antawn Jamison are brother in laws. Now, that, that I couldn't handle.

Shit, Carter and McGrady cousins? Wow. I can't even begin to imagine it.

How do you know? Where did you hear it? I'm still in shock, McGrady & Carter cousins? Wow. Just pure wow. Are you pulling my leg? Where did you hear this? How come I never heard about this before? Do you have a link?

My God, I couldn't handle another shock like hearing...say Jason Collins is somehow related to Jarron Collins, just now they are cousins too.

Amazing. Cousins, I never knew.

You dont consider them to be hyper? I think he was within his rights to tell you calm down.

Seriously, you're still not addressing my queries. How am I not supposed to react the way I reacted after a response about some bullshit about not watching movies? How can you not see that was just an attempt to get me this way, riled up. You tell me what the point was of posting me not having seen the Machinist, if you can clarify that for me, I will say you ruleth all along with Nick.

I cant speak for Nick, but as an unbiost viewer of the thread, I can see Nick was just bringing up a friendly point. Its not as if he said "you didnt see the machinest, so you cant comment on this" did he?

I took your advice & I re-read my posts, I was worked up in one, the one where he warned me for getting away with a supposed flame. Don't I have a good enough reason to get worked up about it? He tried to get me "on topic" (what a topic) by using a flame of his own. Are you really surprised I reacted the way I do? Or should I just have gone yeah, I was way out of line for being sarcastic towards that guy. Which again I have to stress was non-offensive to the max. I never even sweared at the guy. What was I warned for?

You were warned? Lol where? All nick did was tell you to stay on topic and to clam down, thats not a warning.

Based on the altercations between me & Nick you mean? As I said, I've been trying not to get worked up about Nick, it was going fine until he saw my post as a major flame & that I was breaking the rules, when I...and others feel it was a trivial call. He just needed a reason. He got it.

All he said was to calm down! He didnt delete your posts, or start a mass renegade against you.

Like you don't pick things up from a single post, I didn't pick that up from a single sentance. Look at your entire post, that post basically paints me as a childish person looking to fight with Nick for any reason. In the past, I'd say you're completely right, this time, and I'm talking about THIS warning in particuliar, given I felt it wasn't called for. Especially since it wasn't the topic of the year to start off with.

Becuase in this thread you are being childish.

[Jackal]

Why dont you look at what im responding to, before just looking at my comment and getting a comment out of it to look like you're being picked on. Nobody forced or even asked you stop moderating.

If I hadn't looked at what you were responding to, I wouldn't bother responding, this isn't Sit you're talking to.

I'm not acting as if I'm being picked, I'm trying to make sense of this pointless debate we're having here. I'm trying to make sense as to why I was warned (I'll get to that in a bit) and I'm trying to make sense of why you asked me to shutup.

I didn't say anyone forced me to stop moderating, out of what sentance did you make out I said that? Now who's the one that isn't reading?

You dont consider them to be hyper? I think he was within his rights to tell you calm down.

I've said it before & I'll say it again, no. I don't consider that to fall under the category of being "hyper". You & Nick seem to be one of the few people that consider those two posts to be "hyper". I've given in that it was very very very strong sarcasm, but in no way do I see it warranted a "calm down" post. As I said, you & Nick seem to be the only couple of people who consider that to being hyper, a conservative poster such as Cyanide even had a laugh at that one.

Sheesh, I'm still not completely convinced you're even convinced about what you're on. You see that post as "hyper"? After all the posts you've read on this forum, you consider that to be hyper? Now excuse me while I laugh my fucking ass off.

I cant speak for Nick, but as an unbiost viewer of the thread, I can see Nick was just bringing up a friendly point.

Still doesn't answer my question. This is like the third time I'm asking this. What does it have to do with this thread? Why was it brought up? Wasn't that off topic?

You were warned? Lol where?

Again, you're the one telling ME to read posts whereas you aren't heeding your own advice, given I'm such a wonderful person, I'll help you out.

you're being warned

You could also just hit CTRL + F & type "warned".

All he said was to calm down!

Wow, so that's how you convince someone of something. Ok, let's do it.

Calm down about WHAT!?!?!?! Those two posts? If that is your response, that's got to be the biggest bullshit call of the year.

Becuase in this thread you are being childish.

But ofcourse. I feel I was being "moderated" for no apparent reason, I say something about it & I'm being childish. But ofcourse. How could I dispute that? You're completely right, saying something about a trivial call such as being told to calm down for those two meaningless posts...is being childish.

Answer me this & we'll be done here...do you even believe yourself? Do you believe in what it is you're defending?

If that's considered hyper, 60% of the forum posters are hyper. The other 40% are morons. Oh, wait, that was probably hyper & that warrants a "calm down", right? A rolley eyes seem very fitting here.

[J@3]

I don't know if hyper is the way to describe it, but these enormous replies are getting a bit much. Maybe I'm just tired, or old. Both.

[3th]

err..?
Duncan`s game is boring by the way.Those one handed dunks are like are you serious?
So Tmac was right. All-star game is for fun.We all wanna see some insane things not like a one handed dunks.

jep i agree u to

[mark_30_112]

Damn right the Allstar Game is for crazy stuff... It shouldn't be taken so seriously at all...
It's just brilliant to see the greatest players of today to come against each other.

[Jackal]

I don't know if hyper is the way to describe it, but these enormous replies are getting a bit much.

Lol, that ones funnier than Matthew's post. Now it's because I write a lot, that's getting tiring?

How can you not just give up after a comment like that?

Fine, let's not use the word hyper, let's not do that.

Was my post to Captain Obvious as long as the replies to Matthew? Nopes. Was there reason for him to ask me to calm down? Nopes. Matthew says he did so because I was hyper, I ask you guys to show that to me.

[J@3]

Lol, that ones funnier than Matthew's post. Now it's because I write a lot, that's getting tiring?

What on Earth are you on about? That's not even vaguely similar to what I actually said, nor is it even connected to the thing with you and Matthew.
