MENA BICKERING

[Jenn! 918]

What exactly is all this "member of this forum" stuff I keep reading? This forum is a part of VJ. Last I checked, there were no additional membership requirements to read/post on this forum.

Maybe there should be

That would, in effect, be just like moving the forum off of VJ, which did not work.

... you love to instigate drama here. Its a well known fact.

Of course I do. That's because no group of people on VJ can do it like you ladies can. Fact.

This comment "Of course I do. That's because no group of people on VJ can do it like you ladies can. Fact." clearly attempts to instigate an argument and is exactly what I am hoping will stop.

No it doesn't.

You say that they are the most argumentative group on the board, which is your opinion. I think it is obvious that this may upset them and result in them saying something to escalate the argument.

I see where this is going. So never ever write anything that may upset absolutely anyone, lest the upsetted resort to escalation.

Which again was not made by a member of this forum.

I will tell you what it means. There are members here that stick with the MENA forum that actually follow what goes on in here daily and contribute to the threads daily. When someone only comes in to add fuel to the fire, I don't consider them a MENA regular.

If someone disagrees with you then you can respond with meaningful argument. Your conjecture. Your statements should not however include insults and other factors to instigate things.

Example: You are wrong because you are an idiot and know nothing; you are wrong because you clearly do not know what the "xyz" says. OR you could say You may be wrong because from my understand the XZY says "SGSDSD" on page and from this perspective many people may think that "XYZ" was implied. That way you back your argument up with fact and not insults.

I wish it were so simple, but some people are insulted simply if someone disagrees with them, and reading comprehnsion is dangerously in short supply. You are using rational arguments among primarily irrational people, sad to say.

Maybe Ewok could set it up so only a certain set of userid's even see the MENA forum in the list and have access to the postings within it. That would not be like moving the forum of VJ.

This coming from the person that called me a sewer.

You're not allowed to say things like that.

Do you not think it's insulting to imply that others have reading comprehension difficulties? You seem to like to throw that around. It's all about the way something is said. I'm sure you know what I mean. Some people come straight out with their insults, while others disguise them a bit more. They are there nonetheless.

I have exerted a lot of effort in ignoring you, JP. Yet, you follow me from thread to thread spewing insults at me. I do have a point where I will get nasty and that isn't even it.

I didn't even mean it to be disguised. I said it as fact, and there is loads of evidence to that fact on every thread, even this one.

I think you know how I meant it. There needs to be special restraint in this forum to calm nerves. I honestly can not weed out people clearly from the mob arguments anymore. If it continues I will likely suspend a group of people in the argument (fair or unfair). Once they come back if it happens again I will suspend the next group (if I can not weed a single person out). This will continue until things cool down. It will be a subjective decision so please do not let it get to this point.

Where exactly did I insult you? I dont recall calling you anything. If I disagree with you thats an insult? You called me a sewer and I didn't reply to you with another insult. I think you should really take Jenn's previous comment to heart.

Warning: inflammatory comment. Please cease and desist.

I agree, and they are just as guilty.

[Sofiyya 1,687]

That was the warning.
