If you want the Houston mods to do something about this maybe you should have put the thread in the Houston forums. Why drag this shit onto the national forums where those of us who are not from Houston have no background knowledge nor interest in the situation?

The whole point of this thread is, if people like notanewbie are prevented from having fun by flaming, harassing, slandering, and insulting others, then the rest of us might finally derive some enjoyment from this place.

P.S. chicagoboy posted while I was typing this post. I am not surprised he would show himself at this juncture. Though he comes in rarely these days - thankfully - he was at ASPD - probably the nastiest SOB I have seen anywhere on hobby sites. He'd come in mainly to flame newbies, berate those who were inexperienced at reviewing (when he never wrote a review in his life, and mock those who had gotten robbed or cheated by a provider or a stripper....

A board that is little more than a playgroung for nasty holdovers from that nasty site among all sites - ASPD - is not a site I care to participate in anyways - nor is it a site in which I am likely to meet people I might want to communicate with, as good people are indeed kept away by the abuse and sheer siliness of the banter those times it is only banter
Look at his sig line regarding the sheering. A con man's motto.

It is not an attack on ECCIE to express the opinion that it is not so wise to give control of Houston to a pool of people from which were selected the mods & administrator who brought ASPD down.

Yet its in your sig line..... also remembered and noted on the main page of this very site...... hmmmmm.......
These words pretty much proves it is Wayward who created the blog outing Kosair and me. It proves it because references to Kosair's alleged mail-order bride were obsessive in that blog. It proves it also because in the blog as well as here, Wayward is obssessive about homosexual imagery and slurs.
Wayward is indeed unstable - and dangerous. Not only outing people - but actively stalking them - as when he went to my house to take photos which he then posted on his blog

Tactfull reminder to look at all the rule quoted of unprovoked slander.....
To tactfully remind Saint Christopher as well as Houston Mods that the rules are supposed to apply to everyone
#1 - Avoid cases of unprovoked rudeness to others. No place for it here. Yes, with the dynamic nature of the threads and topics, tempers will flare and things will become heated from time to time. You may often encounter individuals who become passionate or emotional when expressing one's opinion or point of view. That's all understood and perfectly acceptable within reason…….but, start slamming or bashing another member and be met with consequences.
#2 - Derogatory racial remarks are simply unacceptable, period. Disrespect another's ethnic background and you will most certainly regret it.
#3 - Disrespect to others, IN GENERAL, will be considered an item of low tolerance, especially when posting in our coed forums. Follow the Golden Rule and treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. This applies to fellow members as well as staff. We do not require that you have respect for us, but we do require that you treat us respectfully in the public forums. If you feel the need to vent, gripe, or blow off some steam regarding a staff member's action or decision, we ask that you keep it private. Email, RTM, or the PM system would be the appropriate avenue to take in such cases. In cases where you would like to request additional clarity about a staff decision, you are free to pursue an answer in either a public forum or private means of communication. If handled publicly, post your inquiry in a respectful manner.
#4 - Blatant insults or hostility toward another member will be met with staff intervention. This applies to using our coed forums for name calling, personal attacks, or vulgar slang terms to describe fellow members. If you have legitimate concerns about another member here, share them tactfully in the appropriate private forums or with staff.

This may also show that Sofia - yes Sofia - is the most insightful and best-informed among us. She always said it was Wayward who creates those blogs outing people. Kosair thinks it is Mr_Clever. Tysteel and I think it was Hambone. Others think it is Hambone and Mr_Clever. But Wayward has just exposed himself.

Ok.... I couldn't keep a straight face on that one.....
But to be honest..... are there "cliques" in Houston? Sure! They are everywhere........ and it is pretty much unavoidable on boards such as these....... like minded folk tend to gravitate towards one another..... it is your right not to like them, just as it is theres not to like you...... Houston has had several unfortunate events of intertwining drama and Bullshit that the skins on most hobbyist have gotten pretty thick, and tollerance for drama, and shady people is pretty low..... the "flamings" here are no where near as harsh as they once were at the worst of ASPD..... in fact I rarely if ever see any of these so called "flamings" here.... but I guess it is a matter of different perspectives from Rafe and myself.......
Rafe, I'm sorry to say it sir, but it seems as of late you are in fact on a campain to rub each and every person on this board the wrong way, and just as Wakeup stated..... it has become glaringly obvious your sole attempt here is to get people so upset w/you that they break one of your so vigerously quoted rules......... I am very sorry you feel so cornered that this is your only avenue of action......... it is not....... You continued snide remarks towards other members, and your most recent attacks on those who have or are currently serving for us, does nothing to help you in your cause..... in fact it is only putting further and further out on your own..........
My appologies for the long windedness........
