You, and many of the others here, should really stop obsessing about the peak, or, in Barry's case, taking an isolated post, that most on the_peak, found disagreeable, as being the standard fare there.
I mean, that is Barry's stock in trade, but I sorta didn't expect to see you endorse obvious misrepresentations. ---In [email protected], <jamesalan735@...> wrote : Fair point, I agree. And when I did call him out on his 'inconsistent ways' directly, he responded with that verve and spirit for which we all love him. He even invited me to join his forum so that I could debate with him. Maybe the direct way is the way to go in the future. Although Jim says that he immediately deleted Cardo's post, which as you say consisted mostly of Jim's own words, he hasn't really. It seems to me that he deleted Cardo's original post, but it's still there in each of the replies people have made to it. Surely, Jim knows this, or is he now going to go back and delete it in all those posts as well? Things are sure getting out of hand over there on The Peak. ---In [email protected], <anartaxius@...> wrote : Unfortunately that is an ad hominem argument, not valid. Just say it: Jim's a damn bastard, seems to like power and control in a rather unsubtle way, and is, like most humans, woefully inconsistent in applying the principles by which he says he conducts his life. What is funny about the posts you mentioned is Jim had to censor himself, not Cardo, as Cardo simply reposted things Jim said here. ---In [email protected], <jamesalan735@...> wrote : What I am about to say may well have been argued to death given the number of posts that I’ve still to read, but here goes. Jim, you say you have a right to post to this group to defend yourself [see below]. I’m down with that. However, I see that four people in your group responded directly to Cardozy today about his post yesterday. But Cardozy can’t defend himself because you've taken away that right from him. How do you square removing Cardozy's right to defend himself on your group, but claiming the same right for yourself here? ---In [email protected], <reverse_archery@...> wrote : Excuse me, Alex? I kept my mouth shut as insults were slung freely around here for a month. If I want to get over here, and even things out, that is my right. If you and Rick do not like it, then please ban me, as I did for Cordozy. I am OK with you exercising your power as moderator. Your phony appeal for calm doesn't mean anything, when you and Rick allow the kind of language and trolling on here, that has made this place a cesspit.
