guys, it's breath-taking time

Post by _Sethbag »

The last few days in this forum have gotten a little over-heated, with people (including me to an extent) dog-piling Nehor and Scratch and Coggins having their own little Ultimate Fighter cage match.

I think it might be a good time to calm it down a bit.

All in favor show by the usual sign.

I'm perfectly calm. Maybe I'm just clueless, but I hadn't noticed much overheating. I just figured things were normal:

rcrocket hates Rollo and Scratch and thinks the rest of us are cowards.
Scratch hates Coggins7, and vice versa.
Gaz is quoting scripture.
The Nehor is being his usual pleasant self.

What am I missing?

ME! I've been out of town for the Utah Ren Fest. I'm almost recovered from a weekend-long drinking/fighting binge.

:P

For the record, I do not hate Coggins. Do I think he is an obnoxious rube who needs to be put in his place? Yes.

I know you don't hate him. Was just giving a summary. Next time I'll talk about the obnoxious rube part. ;)

Yeah, a few people need to get a grip and knock it the hell off. It's rather disconcerting to be reading a thread and having to step over the constant needling. There's the Telestial Forum if you want to insult the crap out of somebody or something. Might I suggest that you take it Telestial?

Or get a room.

Whichever will bring you the most self satisfaction.

Yeah, I've gotten bored with it as well.

It was never heated for me though. It was entertaining (for a while) but never heated. I'd have to take it all seriously before I could ever feel the heat.

Its like beating children at chess. Eventually you get tired and the kids don't get anything out of it.

I agree, the sniping is going nuts.
