Or am I wrong and should we be confused that zolton.org is linked to by friedcherries.org (from your e-mail) which is run by Michael D. Culey? Whatever the case, it all seems a bit silly to come in here to defend a dead, pointless subject like this.

Wow! Brad knows how to use a Web browser! Bow down to the King Prawn! Notice how quickly he moves from telling everyone to stop the link to attacking me? He's merely trying to draw attention away from the fact that he and his forum members are rude and unsavory. And again, I'd like to point out that I didn't start this whole shit-storm. Your forum members did when they attacked Mark. You're defending your fellow forum members and I'm defending a friend. Unfortunately for you, I'm the one that's right here.

Birds of a feather, as they say.

Of course, if your flock consists of two birds..........

Maybe we're not the odd ones out.

Just to beat a dead horse, I'd like to point out that you are all violating your own guidelines for the AppleNova forums. Specificly items 4 and 6:

4. Ad-hominem attacks of forum members will not be tolerated. We understand that things get heated, but it helps to maintain a modicum of respect for the membership. Attack ideas, not people. Be open-minded and try to help foster meaningful discussion. Yes, meaningful discussion is possible if everyone respects each other. 6. Respect the privacy of fellow forum members. Hopefully this will not be an issue, but do not post personal information or pictures of a member without that member's approval. Disputed information will be deleted.

For those of you who have never read these guidelines, their content can be found here: Posting Guidelines.

I'd say a good 70% of this thread has been in violation of guideline 4 and
in reference to item 6, an administrator (Brad) is the one who specifically broke this guideline. Neither myself nor mczolton had logged any personal information about who we are in our profiles and yet full names and web addresses were posted without our permission. Yes, that information is freely available on the web yet neither of us had opted to post it here. Guidelines are useless unless they're followed and forum members take their queues for acceptable behavior from the admins. If you're going to have admins who don't follow your own rules either get rid of the admin or get rid of the guidelines.

Now fuck off.

[mike]

I'm merely following the example set forth by Brad the Administrator in appropriate discourse for this forum. My point is merely that this forum does not follow its own guidelines. I hope you enjoyed your use of that expletive because I imagine that's as close as you'll ever get to the real thing.
