Valid points all around.
@ polydigm - Your right and good point. No disrespect taken.
@ BBP - obviously, I'm not the one who PMed you, so I assume that the person who did, and dragged you into it was adamantly trying to explain themselves away and/or make excuses for themselves. I'm not going to ask about the contents of the PM or about the sender because thats between you and them. In regards to two people fighting, yes, the blame can go both ways, regardless if it's offensive posturing or defensive posturing. Good advice.
@ GC - I never said that you couldn't put 20 minutes on an album side and use a ruler to measure everything.
Seriously though, I don't see it so much as flaming, but a calling out of somebody about something they posted, but then edited several times realising that what theyt wrote was deplorable enough. Fortunately for me, I wasn't the only person to catch it pre-edit, and have several witnesses to back it up, just like in the old chat with the "20 minute album sides" guy.
@ downer mydnyte - you're entitled to your own opinions and assumptions, but with your commentary a couple of posts above this one, you're just throwing gasoline on the fire and it appears to me that you are getting off on the flame war aspect. Whatever dude.
@ calvin2hikers - your first response pretty much hits the nail on the head.
I vaguely recall a couple of your sparring matches on the boards over the years if I'm not mistaking, particularly with MGG or someone like that, unless I'm mistaken and confusing you with someone else. Seems like a Frankie Award was even given?
Perhaps calling someone out on the contents of their posts in their pre-edit first draft form doesn't set well with some, but in my opinion, usually the first words out of peoples mouths, or in this case, their keyboard offers a reliable and accurate snapshot of a persons true personality and intentions. Oh well. It is what it is, and it ain't what it ain't. If a person opts to publicly share information that someone in their family recently passed away, then another individual decides to deride that person by using their "lost one" in an argument against them, well, it just doesn't get any lower than that. It has nothing to do with politics at that point. It becomes personal.
Ultimately, I saw the post in question, those who I quoted above saw the post in question, and a few other people who as-of-yet have not openly mentioned it on the boards that opted to tell me either through PMs and/or elsewhere that they saw it as well.
Say what you're gonna say, mean what you say, and stick with it when you decide to hit that "post" button. Making excuses such as "I was correcting spelling errors and it took me 4 tries" is even more pathetic than the original contents that were edited out to begin with because it shows that not only is the person an unconscienious and heartless prick, but a lying sack of crap to boot.
The vast majority of you guys, and gal who I acknowledged above in this post, and pretty much the vast majority of the forum for that matter have always been pretty cool and you all rock.
I better wrap this post up before some douchebag calls me *belch* long-winded *belch*.
