...my good friend Russ for about a month. Did he get his butt banned again?? Hope not. He and I never agree on anything but he can sometimes keep things lively around here.

Hi Poppa,

I know. Nevertheless he does sometimes really get to people and that is not nice at all. He is actually very lucky, that GH has so much patience with him. He is really to ruff also for me, although I tried to cope with him and I have a lot of patience as well.

Well I have to go back to the VGP and then there will something again lively happening here. In the meantime the thread of Yusef: All Fired Up -- How Do I Insert "Cool" Images in Posts? is something which happens on the GH Forum with exchange of messages from fellow gamers. And the new thing on that thread is, there are more messages with images and virtual writing and that Poppa is really cool!

Cheers
Lagoona

I agree Poppa that you two keep things lively, and I think that's fine--to keep the barbs flying between you two and anyone else who wants to join in on the "weirdness of America" topic (which you two represent quite nicely, I think). But when someone minimizes a sweet old gamer poster's disability, essentially "faulting" that person for not taking up mountain climbing, that's gone too far. If you two want to look silly, I'm all for the free entertainment. Saying hurtful things to an innocent person, no.

I know from all your posts, Poppa, that you have never said a hurtful thing to any community member (except for when truth hurts your sparring partner, but I know that's part of the R-P game), so I'm not referring to you when it comes to the general meanness that I mentioned. Maybe that's why you're still posting and other said person is not. I wouldn't know.

But, I do know it's against the rules to discuss other people's mysterious disappearances from the forum, so I'd better stop right there before I become a disappeared poster.

Anyway, I'm just loving the Tuesday night sideshows. And now I must get my butt to work, go earn my living so I can keep the games coming.

Yusef,
Other than Russ himself, I have yet to berate any other member here in any way , shape or form. Were you to check back on any of our repartees, you will see that I have always respected and encouraged the Loungers.
Please do not paint me with the same brush as you do Russ

Poppa

Not the same brush, Poppa. From my post: "I know you didn't do that. Maybe that's why you're still posting. I wouldn't know."

I thought the "you" was clear and I quoted your post in my response. It obviously wasn't, so I'll amend my post to clarify. Yes, you have been nothing but polite, helpful and encouraging to the posters here at GH and I missed you when you left. Sorry for the misunderstanding,

@ Yusef,

I agree fully with you.

By the way my personal opinion: it was not the first time that the good friend Russ did go way out of his line. Some of the "wordly" attacks against fellow gamers did hurt me very much! When I get banned because I said that, so be it!


@ Poppa

I agree with you. It's true you where always polite towards all the rest of the forum members. I honestly missed you, when you where not around.

If you go back and look at the thread there was a warning from one else It was shortly after that Wheal stepped in to post a warning and russ hasn't posted since.
Maybe Russ is lurking, if he it, he is missed.

I forgot to sign out of a new fun pass account that husband has. Before we bought it, I had a fun ticket account that I use for the forums now, sorry

Hi Russ,

The next time it will be again a new name?

I don't want to discuss this matter any further, so no need to send any response, I said what I felt and end of story. Only one last word to you:

I resend your way of wording your thoughts. Just that you know I am no worm and I don't need to creep or crawl into any holes, what so ever. I wrote the message to you both Poppa and you, because Poppa was starting it with you in Yusef's thread. Naturally you both continued being at each others throat. This is the reason I wrote that message of peace.

Poppa was and is always polite to everybody else in GH's Forum, except with you, I think you pushed his buttons to many times, but it seems that you can't take yourself, what you want everybody else to endure from you.

You on the other hand, that is my own opinion, that is a different story all up. Be aware off, that I am talking about behavior issues, my political thoughts are mine and I don't have to agree with anybody.
So you see I am on nobody's side except on mine.

By the way if you don't like the forum anymore, feel free not to be a part of it; it's free will for everybody!

so now it's russneverdies and maybe the next time it will be russeternal . How about russthefool? It would be more apt. Ya know friend russ, there is an old saying : If you don't have anything good to say, just shut yer yap"
Since you apparently never have anything good to say, take the advise of the old saying. In some perverse way I actually feel a bit sorry for russ. No one should ever be that bitter. This is the last time I will ever refer to that person again. There aren't enough good folks here but the Lagoonas, the Yusefs, the Ydois and all the rest are good enough for me.

Omg Russ,what the hell happened to you? You use to be fun.I loved your and Poppa banter bull.Have you made any cakes lately?.Come on now play nice

He has been banned twice and he is in violation of the terms of service when signing up for these forums. This behavior falls under Ban Evasion and could possibly result in further action reporting this harassment to the appropriate ISP Russ belongs to as this constitutes e-harassment under federal laws which is now a punishable crime and carries fines.

And I've been accused by Russ as having "Multiple Personality Disorders " when Russ himself has come back under three different names now.

I am who I am always. I give respect and credit where its due, but your behavior Russ has not earned it in any way. If you would participate and be civilized in a regular conversation setting political antics and other weird behaviors outside , you would be an enjoyable person. You have often turned others against me on the RealArcade forums which caused people to not like me for a short time before your evil schemes were exposed. You also got banned from RealArcade's Lithium platform also for this same behavior as well.

Why can we not leave things where they belong.
The old real arcade is gone. Let's try to move on.
I agree politics has no place on this forum. There are webesites where you can vent if you want or you can create your own.
If I was going to use another screen name, I would take russ out of it altogether.

Granny, you are a wise woman.

I see a subsequent post from you know who was deleted. Wish I had seen it. X2 stated something I wasn't aware of regarding prior multiple bannings and the potential consequences about repeated attempts to reestablish oneself. I for one hope that GH can finally excise the cancer for good.

Hi Poppa,

Be careful, what you wish for. I have read that message and it gave me the creeps. It was so yak and under the belt line. My personal opinion: It is really better that you never saw it.

If not knowing really stings you so hard, I let you in on a secret, also when I don't like doing it. Others could read it and you couldn't, so I try to be fair, against my will. You can write a message and before posting it scroll down and you can still read everything what he has wrote.

My gratitude goes to the members of the GameHouse Community who flagged the recent objectionable posts under this thread and who contacted us directly.

I don't believe there is anything to gain by this thread continuing so I'm locking it and inviting other discussions to continue in existing threads or in new topics as desired.

Thank you,
Bill
