Thats not a fair statement either, I've been here for over 6 years and have had no problems with Skip, Ya he can be rude and blunt but thats just the way he is. Well, there's always going to be the exception that has a higher tolerance for his antics, but even you noticed that they exist. You just choose to ignore it. Congratulations on being better able to put up with the town jerk. There are many others who feel like they shouldn't have to. Personally, I'm indifferent as I just find the whole thing amusing. But that certainly doesn't make the behavior any more acceptable just because it makes me giggle. It seems what we are talking about here is a question of standards and expectations. Not everyone's will be the same but there should be a base level that the community can agree on. Heck, even the forum rules allude to such, even though they're almost never enforced. | | | Last edited: by mdnitoil |

| Posted: | | | | You may be right Jon. I presume you missed the one where skip went after a member's terminally ill spouse? That was one of his unusually low moments. And let's not play the "I've been here longer game." Just how long do you have to be around to recognize a jerk? | | | Last edited: by mdnitoil |

| Posted: | | | | Midnit: I suggest you take a look at what , Larry said. and remember this. There are always more points of view than just YOURS. There are from my POV a lot people around here that are a lot worse than jerks, one of them happens to be the gentleman that alluded and right now you are doing a pretty fair impersonation of a jerk. You apparently have missed the point that I have made a couple of times. I will treat you in the manner in which I am treated, there are many users with whom I have no issue, and i am in reality very easy to deal with, opinionated...yes, and I'll not apologize for it. But you will get from me exactly what you give me, andf i will not run and hide from a fight, nor will i act like a child and decide I am going to block you or someone because of whatever reason. We have a lot oif children in this community. Keep this in mind, if you want to discuss them with me, I welcome it and I will give you my best thoughts and I will be passionate about. If however, you wish to launch some form of personal attack or as some others do whine incessantly because they won't get their way, then you can expect that i will respond. I am making fun of Yves, I suggest you view my comments to him as political satire, politics is my life, even more so than film, he was whining and he got nibbled on. Some of you loveto play dounble standard around here by jumping all over me if I even dare to express an opinion, ot take on something or someone, all the while you completely ignore in some cases your totally unacceptable or the positively gross socially repugnent by most around here. As long as that continues to be true you can expect me to continue to be The answer is up to each one of you, deal with me as you wishand know that i will deall with you in like manner.

| Posted: | | | | If you really believe that you have been wronged Skip, and that you are a fair man who will respond in like, will you please respond to these very specific questions: 1) I referenced this thread in which you clearly insulted another user for an unintended offense, for which he apologized. Why did you not respond in kind? 2) Why do you continue to refer to surfeur by his real name, despite requests not to do so? 3) Northbloke has asked you to clarify when he has addressed you improperly. From my observations of him, I think it is likely that he genuinely does not know, and that he is likely to apologize for genuine comment that may have led to offense (I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong). In the interests of improving at least that relationship, will / have you addressed it? 4) Will / have you provided Pantheon with reasons for your actions towards another user as asked? Particularly the first two I believe are very easy, and I can think of no reason whatsoever that you could not address them now. I believe that it would do a lot to alleviate ill will towards you if you are willing to put your money where your mouth is (as it were) and show that you genuinely mean what you say. The other two I can see complications with, but I think that attempting to resolve them could also be very beneficial. Stuart | | | This is a sig... ... ... yay...

| Posted: | | | | As to why I'm bothering with it, it because I believe that it is the right thing to do. To not try and stop this would be like ignoring someone who was throwing abuse at everyone in the street. You might want to police to deal with it, but reality often doesn't see it happen. The only alternative then is to deal with it yourself or walk away in the knowledge that numerous people will have to suffer it.
Unfortunately, this forum has next to no policing, so the situation is more comparable to countries than individuals in a well regulated country. Often the stages go discussion, sanctions, and war. Evil as war is, I think it's necessary. I think that the status with Skip is at the point of war. Horrible, unpleasant, atrocities on both sides, no guarantees of success, but better than the alternative.
I don't know how anyone can do anything but condemn points 1 and 2 I raised, and I've seen many like them originate from Skip. True that he is now under enormous attack, but the depth of feeling against him I believe demonstrates the need to reign in a lot of these comments. I want there to be another way, but there isn't.

| Posted: | | | | Well now let's see Darius, in relation to your comment, I tried to help that user and got treated with a reference to "Skippy", do I sign my name Skippy. No and anyone who has been around here long enough knows that , just as in the case of that user, I find the usage of "Skippy" to be derogatory. I have yet to see Yves ask me not to use his name, but then I don't catch everything, it certainly fewer keystrokes than surfeur. 3 & 4 How I choose to deal with such questions or if I choose is my business. Perhaps I choose not to answer them at all or perhaps I choose to answer them privately, but that is my choice and how I think it is best handled. No, Stuart I am not angry with you. I might think you are a bit over the top but I am not angry. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!! CBE, MBE, MoA and proud of it. Outta here

| Posted: | | | | Quoting skipnet50: Quote: In answer to your question, Neill. Yes I do. But I have said before, BEFORE people worry about me, they had best look to their OWN house FIRST. Treat me with reasonable respect and i will treat you in like manner, Pete and I never argue, many times we don't see eye to eye, we simply disagree. I have never, that I can think of been the target of an insult from Pete and I have never insulted him. I won't even bother to reiterate the names and insults that have been tossed my way, but if you think I will ignore them then you don't know me. I do not go around life looking for fights, I have better and more important things to do, but if someone wants to have a go at me they can bet I will not run and hide either...never have, never willl Skip You know, forgive me for the language, but I'm sick and tired of listening to your cowpie. "Treat you with reasonable respect adn I will treat you in like manner"? Really? History lesson, folks. The very first post I EVER made back at Intervocative was in October of (I believe) '04 or '05. It was asking some sort of question about DVD Profiler...I didn't understand something about the program. I was new, had over 300 DVDs, and was highly intrigued by a program that could catalog them and was considering buying it. The VERY FIRST POST I ever made...had a hateful, rude, condescending reply to it from guess who? I certainly didn't go head-hunting that day, trying to disrespect this rude man whom I'd never encountered before. Over the years I've been a member of this community, I've seen him do it over and over and over again. I've fought with him off and on myself for three years, and been insulted quite a bit in the process. And while he can definitely be extremely helpful at times, he should've been removed, reprimanded, or SOMETHING a long, long time ago. Yet a blind eye is turned to these antics, and he is allowed to run uncontrolled over this forum. I don't agree with having the ability to block a particular user's posts...but if I did, he would be the first one I would block. I apologize for the rant. It's just that I've personally seen Skip drive many away from this forum, and many more have stopped contributing because they don't want to deal with his nonsense. It disgusts me, and it disgusts me that nothing is done about it. | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?

| Posted: | | | | You were a newbie and got bit a little bit, Ross. You got your wittle nose tweaked and behaved accordingly. I was ammused after your ill-behaved manner that a few weeks later I received a PM from Ross, requesting one of my cover scans, I really considered for a brief moment whether i should send this jerk what he wanted, but I decided I had to do it and did so. As time went forward Ross revealed himself to be the hot-headed young punk that some users had accused him of being and I had actually tried to defend him.
Ross, do everyone a favor and crawl back under your rock...and stay there.

| Posted: | | | | ROFLMAO, I will recommend if you everget the chance, midnit, go see a comedian named G. David Howard. You would probably heckle him...or try to.

Skip "This jerk"...hilarious. I was considered a jerk for asking a question because I was new. This is the type of person Skip is, everyone. | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?
