In need of clarification pt. 2
In need of clarification pt. 2
The thread was closed before I could respond, yet all the noise was left intact. 
What's going to happen to the 5 points that I was awarded due to a false and heavily biased sense of perception? Not facts, mind you, but wishful thinking. If I'm to keep the points, shouldn't the same apply to WSB and some of the other guys who uploaded nothing except childish insults and flooded the thread with bandwidth-wasting gibberish when they ran out of things to say just to keep it going? Fair is fair with no exceptions, don't you think?
FYI, I've had no interactions with WSB before today. Coincidentally, they/it took place in the very same thread under discussion. Here it is, starting with post #6:

It sure looks like WSB didn't like being corrected and took his revenge later. I ended my post with a beer (ie. positive intent) and he stuck his tongue out in response. Apparently, there were feeling at play that I was not aware of, consisting solely of WSB's personal motives. Is that who you want to have as a mod, especially given what transpired? Couple this with his disingenuously half-assed apology and a firmly imbedded sense of righteousness, and it certainly doesn't make for a pretty picture.
There's a big difference between evaluating the evidence fairly and then coming to a conclusion, as opposed to making the record fit one's desire to land a shot that's supported by pure doubletalk.
I suspect that you'll most likely delete this thread, but I ask you to kindly consider the points I raised.

I'm going to be short with this, but you're looking for arguments where there are none. I was agreeing with you and yet you seem to think I have it out for you. I've been here 5 years and there's way too many people who come and go for me to hold grudges.

Oh and btw I wanted to offer a few words of advice. Stop with the wordy "look at me I'm smart on the internet" drivel. You've used many words to say practically nothing. On top of that the median age here is around 25, so your points are lost because public schools suck.

2. Who else did you give the points to? Did you give them to the folks who kept the thread going by uploading nothing except mindless drivel, did you give them to those whose childishly insulting posts I responded to, did you give them to the members who purposefully entered the thread to take a cheap shot? Please answer honestly, as this is easy to check. Finally, did you cite yourself for introducing profanity into a discussion where there was none, against forum rules no less?
3. How do you explain your active participation, seemingly geared to lick your wounds by reveling in the support provided by a bunch of ***-kissers, in a thread that was nothing other than a troll? Yes, it was closed, but not by you. That was taken care of - much to my dismay - by an admin who was lead to it by the link I posted. You posted for 2 pages.
4. As long as we're talking, what does one call an individual who posts profane insults and then closes the thread in order to avoid a reply? The word "coward" first comes to mind. Can you think of anything else that fits the description? I'm open to ideas.

What about my 5 points? Please allow me to quote myself:

The ball is in your court.
Please don't clutter this thread with gratuitous flames and needless noise. This has nothing to do with you. Let's leave the discussion to those who are actively involved - myself, WSB, and the admins. The other thread was closed due to pathetically lame interventions and there's no need to guide this one toward the same outcome.
