You're both exagerating it, but thats your right. Its not very fair and very presumptious of how we (him and I) see eachother or feel about eachother, but its your right. I can see how, based on past confrontations with one another, that you would see him and I being petty toward one another any time we speak or when it involves multiple posts, but this is regular conversation between the two of us and the rest of you need to understand that. Its not about being right or provoking the other.
This is, for us two, NORMAL interaction actually. Its just our way with one another on topics that either a- matter to us, b- we have an opinion on, or c- have varying or similar opinions and wish to compare.
The proof that it is so is evident in our interactions with others, which may be completely different. We are both two members who have a bit to say on any given thing to eachother and the reason we have these drawn out posts is because we bring that extra level out of eachother. Its hardly a bad thing because being articulate is a good quality. The only time its bad is when we're attacking eachother, and neither of us have done that in a very long time so to use it as an existing tangent of conduct isn't quite right. If we were enemies we wouldn't be talking at all and we'd find a better way to handle it.
You discredit us both because of our posts, when its actually the posts themselves which validate our member to member relationship. This is actually healthy when its him and I doing it. I can't say if it is for others, since our relationships with others are different. But because we're similar in respects to discussion, debate and expressing thoughts and opinions, it works just fine for us.
I'm sorry, but I have to agree with Kalamos. This thread is about people being banned and how many times (as if to brag) so you shouldn't have expected much from it to begin with. And since no one else is sharing anything other than petty bans for petty mischief, YOU shouldn't be taking this thread so seriously that reading our posts about something worthwhile would be a problem. If you didn't like what you were reading you didn't have to continue, and if you felt/feel the two of us have commandeered this thread, you can always work around us. It was/is a conversation between two people and you don't have to be a part of it nor do you have to be rude or sarcastic about it. I merely shared my story, he showed interest in it, I talked about it some more, he asked questions/gave feedback and I cleared up possible misconceptions about how it went down. And his and my last posts to one another reached a head. That was conversation in practice.
If you analyze our conduct for what it was rather than taking the easy way out and just labeling it as you see fit based on preconcieved notions from the past, then you'll see its no big deal though it may look it. Don't let lengthy posts or disagreements here and there trick you into seeing something thats not really there, namely him and I not getting along or hating eachother's guts.
If that were true things would be much different.
