my two cents: the reviews forum sucks ass (Moved to Ramble)

[A Black Falcon]

Spare me the sanctimonious BS. You're the one acting unreasonable here, trying to put restrictions on posts in a useless forum. I started this thread as a half-joke, thinking that you would come to your senses and be more reasonable about the reviews forum. But no, you showed that you are unwilling to compromise and have become a forum dictator, another ice-9. If you continue like this then I will leave, and that is a warning.

Think, OB1. The point that you (or any of us!) wouldn't get a quarter of this latitude on virtually any other forum is a pretty good one. I know you're annoyed, but really... you won't find somewhere with weaker rules than this place, unless you set up a forum yourself!

I don't think you're capable of compromise.

For years, I've heard people complaining about how terribly stubborn you are, and until today, I've never experienced it first hand. I feel like you betrayed me, and the trust I gave to you. Unless your next response is something even resembling a compromise, I want you to leave.

This not a warning. This is a chance. I don't want to lose anyone. But I will, if I have to. And I dare you to find another forum that would allow you even a tenth of the freedom I've allowed you and everyone else here.

It's sad that it's come to this... not good. I don't want OB1 to leave. He contributes to the forum. Sure, I wish he could see himself, and grow up, but I'd rather have something than nothing... but I guess OB1's temper got to him one too many times. This is even worse than usual, actually, I'd say...

take a few deep breaths and calm down? :) Might help... reacting in the heat of the moment is never good in the long run. Really, I don't want to see OB1 leave. (I know, he's incredibly annoying, but I'd rather be here hoping for him to change than have him gone and have us have like 25% less posts, at least...)

Deep breaths. They help.
