It's great to be home

[Harlan Huckleby]

I understand your side and Harlan's side and I don't think there's a way to fix this.

Amen! Sometimes people get locked into intense animosity. You have to seperate them. I have no willingness to reconcile, Scott has no willingness to stay away. Disaster.

[Harlan Huckleby]

You seek to have me censored. Blamed. Blacklisted. This is hardly an original tactic. Senator Joe McCarthy did much

I just wanted you to stop picking fights with me, leave me alone. That's all.

It doesn't matter anymore. I was only going to poke my nose in here ocassionally anyway, so just let it all go. Controversy over.

[Scott Campbell]

Contrary to what I've said, I'm not really taking a side on the issue. I just believe, like GBRulz(Michele), that drama like this should be taken to PM and not dealt with out in the open. I understand your side and Harlan's side and I don't think there's a way to fix this.

I got a great laugh out of your first line Jack.

I didn't bring this out in the open. And I can't imagine how you'd know my side because I haven't presented it.

Harlan made his accusations in public time and time again. His version skews the story to make it appear if all fault was mine and mine alone. I don't disagree that I'm at fault, but I had plenty of company. This was a group effort.

When someone makes public accusations, I think the target deserves the opportunity for a rebuttal.

[Harlan Huckleby]

McCarthyism in the hopes of gaining support for having a vocal critic silenced.

OK, I see how you are looking at.

Yes, I got very tired of having to constantly address your criticism. But I'm not a public figure, I'm just some guy checking-in for fun and games. I don't wish to be arguing with you all the time.

You are right: According to the policies of this forum, it is your right of free speech to hound me. I found it overbearing and unpleasant. You win. I am leaving to avoid unpleasantness.

Scott, why don't you just address anything specific I said that you believe is false.

I REALLY hope you won't go through everything. The problem is that either your version has to be left unchallenged. Or a miserable, lengthy rehashing unfolds.

[Zool]

Ahh if only there were some sort of messaging system. You guys could have your pissing contest in private.

Remember, dont cross the streams.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Evidently Mad has stayed my execution.

Good grief. Can't you just admit you changed your mind. Why try to blame Mad for your return?

I woke up this morning to check if Mad had closed my account, not yet. Your dialog with me for three months has been a constant stream of dark interpretations of my motives and snarky remarks. This is what you call being "a vocal critic." I just wanted you to go away.

[Scott Campbell]

It seems Harlan is a little desperate not to have me reveal the whole truth of what happened. And I think it's for some combination of the following three reasons.

1) The truth is not very flattering to Harlan.
2) The truth is bound to pour salt in Woody's old wounds. And Harlan really likes Woody.
3) People will realize that Harlan dragged Woody into this without his permission, and threw him back under the bus just to win his silly argument, demonstrating my point that Harlan betrays his friends.

hah! Zool, you're a mod! Kill the Harlan Huckleby account. It's a mercy killing. Just do it.

Scott, then maybe you're right. Maybe I don't know your side as well as I think I do. I'm OK admitting that and apologize if I misrepresented myself. I just sense that there will be no end to this "discussion" and, for the sake of PR, the discussion should be taken "outside", if you know what I mean. I think you both are great posters and assets to the PR family. It sucks that we're having to witness your brawl, because nobody truly walks away unscathed in a fight.

Feelings are hurt. Users are wierded out. Sense of community is hijacked.

I feel like you both are appealing your sides of the case to relatively uncaring masses. The only people that can correct this situation are the two of you.

But it seems like there is much emotion tied up in the chatter between the two of you. Bad blood and anger.

Just trying to offer a voice of reason.

Harlan. You've said this over and over again. How are we supposed to take you seriously? Like many of your statements, you say one thing, but do something else.

If you are intent on leaving, then what's the point in badgering everyone about making me leave you alone?

[Scott Campbell]

It wouldn't be necessary in the first place if you didn't keep dragging it up. And it also wouldn't be necessary if you didn't spin it so wildly to make me look bad.

I've got no time for this today. The whole truth makes for a long story, and it'll take a while to put together.

Nah. Although it was an extremely unpleasant episode, I acted with decency in all respects. I was trying to protect both you and Woody.

You are right, I do VERY much wish to end this discussion. Not to protect my or Woody's feelings, tho.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I was not intent on leaving. My intent was to check in here occasionally, and you turned that into an unpleasant confrontation every time.

[Scott Campbell]

Nah. Although it was an extremely unpleasant episode, I acted with decency in all respects.

Why is it for you and you alone to decide? It's not for me to decide by myself in a vaccum either.

Harv implies that he might disagree with your claim of decency. I say get it all out there, and let people decide for themselves.
