CC & the DOC....

[Drake]

I'm not "angry" Drake so I would ask that in the future you not state my personal frame of mind as fact when you are not qualified to do so.

Uh, I NEVER had a cross word or a problem with TheSilentChamber nor have I ever had a problem with reaganyouth.

Your statement of "a lot of people have rubbed you the wrong way" is grossly inaccurate. Can you please quantify what constitutes "a lot" in your mind? If you're going to be critical of me for having problems with:
Scotty
corona gigante
amanda
tonydogs
then I'm guilty as charged. My guess is those losers rubbed a whole lot of other people around here "the wrong way" too.

I also strongly disagree with you that there are "a lot of arrogant smartasses around these boards." Can you please quantify "a lot"? This place has almost 1000 members and the number of seriously arrogant smartassses (by seriously, I mean were it gets to the point of major disruptions to the board) can be counted on one hand, that number being two:
Scotty
fpdoc

I would have counted amanda and corona gigante in there too but did ya notice that they've been banned? Pretty much the only reason they got into the trouble they did was because they were arrogant smartasses who absolutely refused to admit they were ever wrong.

a lot, hmmm, i don't know a few.....i just think this whole thing is silly. let me rephrase what i was trying to say. (i thought i had remembered a discrepency between you and the one's i had mention, i apologize. i was mistaken) by anger, i guess i meant strong dislike for doc's attitude. look at how long scotty and purobrat ran around here acting far worse than this guy and the word ban was never mentioned. i think it worked a lot better when we let things run there couse. if i remember correctly, when you first came here; that's what you FOGs were saying needed to happen. it seems like now, we are being very quick to ban and not let it work itself out.

and by arrongant smartass, i didn't mean ones that seriously disrupt. (which IMO, the doc hasn't) i meant smartasses that have at least a small amount of overconfidence. i'd say most of us are smartasses. i'm not trying to argue anything. i'm not great with words and this all was unessessary. a decission was made. its over.

Drake - you've time and time again proven yourself to be a voice of reason. We don't always agree, but you've earned my respect by putting forth a logical argument. You've been a smartass - I've been a smartass. But - through it all, clearly you are not so thin-skinned to think that I'm trying to flame you by and occasional busting of your chops. That comes from more than posting respectful posts the first few times, then jumping on the senior members of the board like they were some kind of pariah. That comes from being involved in the community for a while, participaing and understanding the dynamics of it.

What doc didn't realize, and probably won't, is that CC is a great guy. CC may bust balls because he's a grammarian, but he's a stand up guy. For doc to even think he was going to "eliminate" CC, because CC was hated by "many" of the membership is both arrogant and ignorant. Arrogant and ignorant because he thought CC was hated by "many" of the members, and arrogant and ignorant because he thought he was going to eliminate CC.

George, I'm getting dejavu here. Didn't Corona Gigante pull this same stunt with CC when he created a poll a few months back? Wasn't Corona trying to prove by making that poll that CC was a bad guy in the eyes of members here and he FAILED miserably?

Hmm, must be some weird newbie-arrogant-&-ignorant-itis going around...

It must be something in the water...

and if he'd just done a LITTLE research...

Arrogance and ignorance... What can you do?
