I am going to bury the hatchet with you Sixx because I think we have the most in common. We are in the same age range and come from a similar background. I grew up in the hood like you. The gang infested hoods of Cali for me. We have a similar mentality of not taking any shit. Probably came from our background. I'm sure we could share stories and relate better than most people on here.
I'm not going to cause problems but I'm not going to back down from a confrontation. I'm sure you can relate. I didn't care that you stated the rules but the extra commentary on my intelligence level was not needed. I may look like a jock but I assure you I don't have the IQ of one.
Everybody on here, including the mods, are so biased it's ridiculous. I still stand by my thread that started all this. The only issue all of you swinging dicks had with it was that it would cause GPS and she will raise rates. What does the constant "you are so hot" comments do? But of course the attack pack will and has spun it into something else. End of day I couldn't care less.
Take this for whatever you want Sixx.

I am just surprised that you take alot of this more personal than it needs to be. Yes, I am one who talks alot of smack. I can back that up if need be BUT alot of it is for entertainment value if you will. I know how to stir people up when I want to. It's not always called for and unwelcome at times. I guess when you count athletes like Brock Lesnar, Terrell Owens, and othe loudmouths as favorites of yours, it can come off when expressing yourself with your buddies or online, etc.
I take exception that Space is biased. I was a mod with him and out of the both of us, he was always the calm one and logical mod. Yes, you disagree with him but to call him biased because his POV doesn't match yours is just not accurate. I have no problem calling out mods on ECCIE but I can say without hesitation that ztonk and Space are great mods and will enforce the rules even on me. Hell, Space even gave me the ban that I EARNED.
The socials are fun events. I have been to CK's and Whispers with NO issues. I am as controversial as anyone (for my ego I like to think I am the most controversial) but I also go there with no chip on my shoulder and not there to argue with people. I will certainly debate a subject IF its brought up first but I am there to mingle and have fun and revel in being a hobbyist and surrounded by those who have the one thing we can't share with others.
I feel that you had a chip on your shoulder from the boards and it carried over to the social. I also feel you weren't the only one. That is just my opinion.
If you can let things go, you are free to join us at a TP dinner get together. It's short, sweet, and really just guys shooting the shit. I am sure we have things in common but you would be surprised with what you might have in common with other hobbyists, we are all human after all
