[QUOTE="canon, post: 172567, member: 8423"] I'm thinking it has been 3 times now that I've been asked by others to be the one to step up to the plate and "ignore" the insults for the sake of the community. It seems this whole event has polarized the forum into three groups: those who [I][U]have[/U][/I], and those who [I][U]have not[/U][/I] been insulted. The remaining group is made up of those who stayed out of it, but still had to put up with the posts. Maybe he's insulted some of the [I][U]have nots[/U][/I] in the past, I can only deal with what I've seen since creating my account. The ones that [I][U]have[/U][/I] been insulted, ended up being the ones refered to as the "dog pack". Those that [I][U]have not[/U][/I] were/are the ones asking the ones who [I][U]have[/U][/I] to show maturity and drop it when he instigates. I find that to be somewhat backwards thinking, as it makes more sense to me to target the one dealing the insults in the first place. There even seems to be a general consensus that this isn't new. I have to wonder if there isn't some level of loyalty to someone who has been here that long. Maybe it's the "villian you love to hate" syndrome. I don't even think I'd been here a week when I was first called stupid, so you'll have to forgive me for not seeing this behavior as something we all are supposed to look the other way on. I thought I was doing right by not returning namecalling with namecalling, and continually asking to simply deal with issues. I even used the churchsign as an attempt to bring some humor in and lighten things up. Of course I was an equal player in the game and had my share of jabs in response. The difference between us is my jabs are in reply to attack and have most often been included with an appeal to return to mature discussion. I still ask for posts to show me attacking out of the blue. I certainly don't think I did, and would be the first to apologize. It just isn't my MO.
