Umm... wow. I am honestly at a loss as to where you got that from. The reason I banned you had
nothing to do with Chris. It had only to do with the fact that I found you irrepressibly annoying.

Don't stop though, I find your aversion to doing anything about this highly amusing.

Call it what you like. RV doesn't annoy me, but I understand him better than most of the people on here do. He speaks his mind with little regard for the feelings of others, but that's just who he is. Frankly he's a friend of mine and he's done numerous things for the site (including the logo you see at the top whenever you visit) and I wish more people would let his comments slide. He's obviously capable of being a snarky sarcastic bastard but if you take a step back a lot of what he says is kind of funny. You may object to his methods, but he doesn't say what he says just to be an ass. If you really want to see him change, listen to what he calls you out for and try and think about whether or not it's true and worth changing. I'm not going to ban him. People just need to learn not to take things that upset them so seriously.
Edited to add: You know, I think learning to deal with people like RV is a valuable and much needed skill in this world. You can't always close your eyes, plug your ears, and hum loudly whenever someone you don't like walks into the room. If you all can learn how to handle yourselves around people like RV, I believe you'll be better for it later in life. So despite the fact that many of you may find him annoying or offensive, he's not a bad guy, he
is my friend, and he does none of this out of spite or malice. I won't say his intentions are
good by nature, but they're certainly not bad, and we would all be so much happier if everyone would just get along. I suggest that everyone who is bothered by RV find another way to deal with him, because moaning about it is not a real solution and it doesn't get anyone anywhere.

You just have to look at the URL to realize why Danny has every right to do whatever the hell he likes with this forum.
If he wants to ban me, he can. If he doesn't, that's his choice. If you guys don't like it, go make your own websites. Here's a handy link. |
Thank you, RV. I am amazed that no one has realized that yet.
