The site marks when messages have been edited and none of mine have been.

Why don't you post what you're talking about?

Gabon, you edited the PMs before you posted them here. It's simply to do and now it's fairly obvious that something's missing.

Why don't you want to be honest about this and admit to us that you did intend on showing my work to someone else?

Well this looks like it may get ugly.

Before

How bout you shake hands, Hit the foe button or take it back to pm's.

If you guys even care (I don't really...), think about what Ballin Stalin was doing and compare it to what Gabon was doing... apart from being a little more petty, Gabon basically was defending himself. I see nothing wrong with that.

Also, go look through some other threads by such notable members of this site as owenshooter... this kind of shit happens all the time. Not sure why you guys (pimpdave in particular) have a problem with Gabon (apart from not agreeing with him on a political level).

Gabon isn't honestly defending himself.

Well I've forwarded you the chain so you can find what you're looking for.

If I missed something you can post it but I'm fairly certain everything is in the OP.

There's nobody in my personal life who I would consider showing a thread to in order to gain advice.

Since, you know, you don't keep anything private.

Seriously dude?

He started making up lies about things I said

The irony of you whining about somebody making stuff up, whilst 3/4's of your topics/posts are basically regurgitated rightwing talking points(which are often just outright lies, gross misrepresentations of facts, murky half truths in a sea of propaganda) makes me think that if what you're saying about BBS is true(I have not read any of the pms etc because I just don't care) then it is no less than you deserve.

WHOA WHOA WHOA

Slow down there, buckaroo.

There is a huge difference between lying about someone, and trolling with the news. Or trolling about someone who is in on the joke and enjoys it.

Guys, let's just lay off, huh? Both of you twits, knock it off.

Let's just continue this argument with images.

Here's my impression of GabonX:

Here's my impression of BigBallinStalin:

THERE. Now, feel free to post your impressions of me, and let's GET BACK TO ARGUING ABOUT STUFF LIKE WHICH MAJOR AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTY HAS FARTY PANTS.

I have put the word "farty" in bold. Please do not get offended by that.

sad day on the forums, you guys should hug it out.

by **GabonX** on Fri Dec 04, 2009 3:18 pm

Meh.. I'm not that upset anymore. It's silly.

Stalin has the PMs again. I'm pretty sure I posted them all, which was tedious as hell, but if I didn't I'm sure we'll hear about it.

Either way I know I never said I had to show his posts to a professor or anyone else. I don't know where that's coming from, but if he wants to talk about private conversations in public, the conversation should be made public. I had thought about posting the copyright thing before because I thought it was so outrageous (who threatens a lawsuit over CC post copyright infringement?!) but decided against it.

Honestly this whole scene could have been avoided if there had been a modest attempt at being respectful..

Leave it to Got Tonkaed to ruin a perfectly good squabble...STONE HIM!

I’ll admit it’s a bit petty to post this. It’s not as petty as threatening to sue someone over plagiarizing their Conquer Club posts (I don’t even know where that came from) but I can see how posting this could be seen as petty.

The other option would have been to ignore him. I tried that and Stalin started ranting about how I couldn’t support my arguments. I’ve now addressed the argument that he said I had no rebuttal to (it wasn’t that hard really) and his response was essentially that I’m too stupid to have come up with what I wrote and that I should give him the email of the person who really came up with it. He isn’t interested in a level headed exchange of ideas while that is all I’m interested in, hence the reason I try to avoid making these kinds of childish insults.

He started alluding to the conversation in the OP in the public forums and saying I said things that I didn’t. Rather than let him continue making things up indefinitely, I decided to post the conversation so that people could actually see it. I'm not the one that opened the door for this to become public.
If after looking at this your only response is that I’ve been petty (and it is a bit petty to care about what people on an online forum think) you have a serious problem with objectivity.

Stalin, you’ve called me immature for bolding a word because you thought that in doing so I was insulting your intelligence, yet you regularly insult other members for the same thing. You make obscene and inflammatory posts degrading myself and others, but most of what you say is more applicable to you than to the people you write about.

Grow up dude.. and for the record, the joke your referring to in your “Gabon Please” picture isn’t that Donny was stupid while Walter was smart. The joke was that Walter was being such a huge fucking asshole…

I'll level with you, I didin't read that whole mess of correspondence. So I didn't see whatever Stalin said. I apologize for my previous statement you might just be defending yourself, I don't really care to read all of that and find out though.

Would you like to try forwarding that chain again? I have yet to receive it.

What Gibbons doesn't seem to understand is that BigStalin is a fucking genius.

Oh and pimpdave: Failout 3 is trash and it'd take a lobotomy to enjoy it's soundtrack, so don't bother bringing it up again (you know the thread I mean).
