    So you decided your version of the events was more accurate and/or righteous than that "the majority" and zap, your opinion is more important than the majority of posters who contributed to the thread. That's what I, and others have a problem with on a fundamental level.

    Maybe if we could read the thread, we could all apologize for how viciously unfair we were to his even-headed, gentlemanly and kindly arguments. I mean, it's not like he called someone a cunt or anything for disagreeing with him on power squat technique, right?

    Ummm. No. Not at all. It ran its course, and when the photos came back around the second time, it was over. Again, the few ruined it for the many, you got that right. But the many encouraged the few to persist.

    I would hope that if someone posted that crap about me, you'd nuke it too. Unfortunately, I doubt that's the case. It would probably be the majority piling it on deeper. (I'm not calling you out specifically, but referring to each of us with the crappy "you" pronoun)

    So, that's why I deleted it. I know you don't agree and understand your reasoning. If I ever get the chance, I will completely nuke it so it never comes back. But that's not likely.

    I get the impression there aren't 1000's of embarrassing photos of you floating around out there.

    What are these pictures you're talking about? No one posted pictures of partial after nutz partially posted a partial picture of partial, and if they did and i missed it, they should have been dealt with and the pictures removed, not the thread. Like I said, we have measures to deal with misbehavior, and deleting unrelated content to protect someone's fragile ego was never supposed to be one of them.

    I just think it was a biased and cowardly (insofar as using Joe is concerned) way to deal with a problem that ended up splitting and growing as a result, both on an individual level and on this whole victimhood/protected stupidity level that's been discussed before when it continued to get out of hand.

    That right there is as damning as anything I've read here.

I hope I never do it again, and one of the few things that I regret in my time here are those attacks.

    And I regret that I didn't sneak more in while the coast was clear.



    It's hard being so nice to Woody.

I got some counsel back from an attorney that this person knew, and got some very good advice, which I implemented and the problem stopped. But now, I read Madtown ask if he should bring him back. I know what happened. That’s why I think he’s trying to come in here as the savior.
    Those were good times. I only wish we got to see those emails.

    I miss Retail - we need someone on here who will relentlessly and tirelessly defend Mike Sherman, any time his horrible name appears in a thread.

    Dang, I didn't even realize this thread exited til fucking Rand bumped it up. In my solitude, I just spent 2 fucking hours reading this stuff. I wish I was around when this thread was "live."

    Oh fie! I was in exile.

    For the record, Woodbuck would make a great mod. Woody is the master of objective reasoning. He argues with logic and humor, so unlike Scott Campbell (Yo, Campbell quit using my polygamy joke!).

    Btw, I like creative writing. I volunteer to write lyrics for this forum, if that's a-ok.
