First of all:
You're going to challenge somebody you don't even know to a fight because of something he wrote on a message board? Really? (1) Why do you care about JRut's opinion? You don't know him, and likely never will. He has no influence over your schedule, your ratings, or any aspect of your daily life. (2) It's a little sad that you are so quick to be willing to resort to violence. Is that really the only tool you have for conflict resolution? Even if he was completely serious, is being called a girlie-man really worth beating somebody up over?

Well, Mr. spokesman for the JRut campaign, it goes a little deeper than what
you imply. For one, I've noticed that anytime I have something to say (or any other newbie that he thinks he bully around) he throws little darts at them.
You know talking ish without really saying it (see Shirts thread for the latest incident). I asked him to stop beating around the bush & say want he wanted to really say as it has happened on numerous occasions.
Violence never solved anything, but when you get called a p#&&% on my block you better defend that or live with the moniker. I could care less what a person looks like if they whoop my arse so be it but they will know this dude has heart. Overall, I concur violence is wrong.

Second of all, complaining about the mods' (Bob and Mick, mostly) management of your posts is probably not a great way to endear yourself to them and keep future threads open. Complaining about a locked or deleted thread is a pretty easy way to get your complaint deleted. Just thought you'd like to know.

I could care less about keeping threads open, I truly started coming here for educational purposes. The knowledge here is vital, I can learn from others mistakes I soak up all these senarios. If you could point out where I complained about the mods I'd love to see it. All I said was he got the mods to shut me down. Which is their option, it's not that serious to me as I only read/post here Mon-Fri 7-3:30 stictly on company time as I have a million other things to do in a day. "The Forum" may be life to some off you here, but not that crucial to me...

I felt like he was trying to play me out & just had to let him know that he had the wrong guy, for he is NOT I & I ain't him.

I honestly read the shirts thread looking for it, and didn't see it. I know what post you're talking about, I just didn't see how that particular post was personal. Of course, I'm not looking at any prior context that may go with it.

Dude had the mods shut me down!
Read this quick it may be gone soon, this is what I said to the OP first.

"Don't know if you're with IAABO but hoings (I had a direct link) has these for $21.95 w/ the patch already sewn on"

I just thought that was a good deal as you know the patch can cost up to $7 by itself plus the fee for having it sewn on. If OP wasn't affiliated then he need not purchase, anybody else on the forum who might have affilitaed then it was a plug for them.

And my troll came running behind me 7 minutes after I answered the OP with the negative connotations that you already read. Subtle but when it happens over & over it starts to make you wonder.

[Adam]

You're giving him way too much credit for his power over the mods. I read your offering and his post, and didn't see anything there that indicated anything sinister. Like I said thought, I'm ignorant of any history you two may have.

Naw, you're completely wrong on that one. Nobody that posts here has any influence over the mods. They get their direction from the people who own this site. Imo, it's a completely thankless job, but Mick and Bob do a great job of trying to keep everybody in line. And that includes me--believe me, they've dumped many more posts of mine that you've ever made.

Btw, myself, Scrappy, Dan and others have had our go-arounds with Rut over the years. Some good 'uns too. Probably have some more in the future also. But, it don't really make no nevermind. If I and the others agree with him on something, then we'll do that too. And personally, I probably agree with him one heckuva lot more than I disagree with him when it comes to officiating.

Say what you gotta say....get it off your chest...and then fuggedaboutit. Don't take it personal either. Take each post for what you feel it's worth. Discard what you think is doodoo.

Feel free to ignore me too btw. Just saying......
