Who said I didn't expect it?

Nor, in our particular case, should someone who
maliciously provokes Eric be given a 'bye' because of how you rate the
seriousness.  It is a toy forum.  In the grande scheme of 'life' it really isn't
even a drop of water in teh ocean.  However, the second we allow one injustice a
'bye', what's to stop others?  Someone could do someting even more 'bad' here on
LUGNET, and, if we protest, they could say, 'Well, that thing with Eric!..."

Show me where I asked for a 'bye'. If I've breached the TOS, I'll take my lumps.

I don't consider anything that's happened here a 'malicious' provocation.
'Mischievous' at worst. And your repeated claims that Ross' little joke was
somehow an 'injustice' is laughable. Get some perspective.

I don't single Eric out for special treatment. He acts like an prat, I call him
out on it, same way you do for supposed 'injustices'. I'd do the same for
anyone, it's merely the fact that Eric acts prattishly more often than anyone
that it seems like he's being picked on. Eric's responses are his own
responsibility, even if I have a good idea beforehand what it's likely to be.
Eric doesn't get a 'bye' from me just because of an apparent mental instability.

I work on the assumption that, until proven otherwise, Eric is a normal,
functioning member of society, and should therefore act like one. I don't see
why I shouldn't take a jab at him (within the bounds of the TOS) when he
doesn't, simply because he's known for wigging out over it?


The images have been rectified, explanations have been made, and your still
harping on it, although I do applaud your very laresque ability to belabour a
point ad nauseum.


My 'harping' is merely to point out the falicious arguements of, well, you and
others.  If you didn't make the falicious arguements, I wouldn't be 'harping'.

What exactly do you think I'm arguing for? All I'm saying is there's no harm
done and that it's all a huge joke, a fact that both you and Eric seem to be
ignorant of.


I refuse to take this thread seriously. As should you.  As should anyone. The
second you lose your sense of humour, then, well, whatever...

I don't take any of this seriously.

That's not what you said in your last post.

Trust me--I'm in no way losing any sleep
over it nor is it negatively impacting on my lifestyle.  I am a person, however,
who refuses to 'drive by' and ignore an injustice.  The images may be fixed, the
explanations may be given, and the LUGNET community will go on--no worries...

Indeed. So why not internalise the whole thing and move on? The Community
Policeman thing doesn't really suit you anyway.

(...) I think what Dave is driving at is that even though your actions may technically be with the TOS, it is a question of civility.
