If You Want To Know Why The Spill Your Guts Thread Was Closed Read On

I have to ask, what's with the end of your post? The "glad you at least swallowed that" part, I mean. I find it rude as hell. It's not like we were arguing with each other, and you finally convinced me of something. If you read my posts in this thread, I've been trying to talk with Urban about what exactly was going on with the owners, while also trying to keep people from throwing insults at each other. My post, even though it quoted you, wasn't directed solely at you when I talked about the surge of finger-pointing that's been going around. I think I've been pretty civil so far, and if you disagree, then please let me know what exactly I've done wrong.

Well with regard to the SYG thread read the OP and see what it was designed for. I've been as guilty as anyone throughout my tenure of going off topic and creating what some would deem spam, but the SYG thread I found to be somewhat constructive at one point.

I'm not much for arguing with people in general, some might disagree. I wasn't trying to convince anybody of anything just conveying my point. I didn't really think saying swallowing something was negative, I think we agreed on the finger pointing that was my point. I try to avoid insulting people also, and I don't really think i've done so. If you feel that way then I apologize to ya. I'm not inclined to insult people, I like to keep a semblance of respect for everyone.
