OBJECTION !!!!

[Herr Straße Laufer]

I don't understand how you can post it's out of hand & detrimental to the club, then complain that it's shut down.

Maybe he was saying your "sarcasm" is seen as attacks and your posts are what's out of hand?

Ed was never attacked in any manner, shape, or form, otherwise the MOD would have stepped in and threw a flag. Ed did however attack me, but that's ok I suppose.
I don't need anyone to back me up tho, I wield a big hammer remember :)

Oh, yes I was attacked by you and others with the "vested interest". I thought the mod did step in and you admitted that a post of yours, in another thread, was removed because it was "too sarcastic"?
Attack you? LOL! I pointed out that you were off topic and made personal attacks against me. You are just holding true to form and blaming others for your shortcomings.
As far as the hammer. Yes, we all have seen how you can assert your power when you lose your objectiveness and emotionally insert yourself into arguments that bait others?

If he has the right to rant and rave then he needs to be receptive to similar responses, without running to a MOD asking for help because his skin is not so thick.
How can one person be allowed to indulge in the smack talk yet cannot bear to be replied to in a like manner?

This is a canard. You erect a strawman and attack the strawman. I neither rant or rave and I have not responded to "every" comment made.

How can a discussion be held if the topic veers off base simply because someone mentions that the method of approach is lacking substance and poorly disguised as a discussion, when its really another tirade that's been repeated several times.

Here is where you let your emotion run your reason. No where in any of the discussion is a (justified) rant like the one concerning the version 1.03 debacle. Even the "crew" admitted that they punted the ball on that one and is the reason for the version 1.04 upgrade?
I'm not ranting now. I was trying to get up a discussion of the changes because all my opponents have been complaining about the 1.04 upgrade. Gary allowed a new "start" and here you go again?

Others participated in the discussion. Some of the debates got "heated", but you swooped in and then went on one of your "rants". Your rant provided a misdirection and led to a nice discussion devolving into a "Randy monlogue", which defended every thing that was done to the game and those who made the changes.
When you do it from a position of power that is called harrassment?
I'd just ask the forum moderator to ensure that the members of this ladder are not harrassed. It can be done if the posting rules applied equally to you as it does to the rest of the members?

several posters, including myself offered good reasons for the results of 1.04 assaults, but they were ignored in the flurry of imaginary accusations and name callings that spewed forth which led to the thread shut down.
Hard to imagine that any other similar thread is going to be productive if the attitudes don't change gears.
Folks need to Quit calling people's work trash, garbage, infestations, etc.. and perhaps we'll see a better response.

You have a myopic view of what was stated. You, and Huib, harbor ill will because of your emotional attachment to the topic and for some reason "myself". You have not offerred any "good" reasons for the new version assault model that would have changed the position of this poster. If there was one I must have missed it in the "Randy rant" and Huib personal comment? And, with the entire thread removed it makes it hard to go back and see what you think may have been a good reason for anything?
As far as you seeing if similar threads are going to be productive, is that a veiled threat that any future discussion of version 1.04 assault, artillery fire effects, faulty scenarios, et al. are going to be regarded as reason for you to step in and rant, highjack the thread, and then get them removed?
Whatever happened to discussion? You know, that little thing that is supposed to promote the sharing of ideas so that the subject could grow? Your running in like a rabid Pitbull does not help to further any discussion. It only stifles it?

If you have evidence that I personally attacked you, present it.
If not, then stop erecting that strawman. We've seen it before and I will not allow you to use it as an excuse to remove me from the club or my posts from the forum.

And, I'd like to just ask that you stop highjacking threads.
