theres enough fighting on these boards anyway , why give people a different way to start fights ?? doesn't make sense to me , this place would be a great place to be if everyone would just get the bug out of their asses about eachother and have fun talking to eachother like civilized people . but everything always has to be such a soap opera .can't we just chill out ? it's the holidays damnit !!

From Chad to Bondo, it seems that my story has changed… when it really hasn't. I am jsut simply asking that we allow flaming in this forum… maybe even if disclaimed or approved by a mod as a topic that may start a flame war. I am not saying anything….ANYTHING that deserves and arguement… but I really believe that the words said by BONDO had been fighting words (as they say in the south). i was just giving a site suggestion, as allowed. you see, Chads post made sense.. BONDO's looked like he was trying to turn this into a fight somehow.. which it probably will now as he (or someone else) will post fighting for his defense

Lettin these hotheads here vent their anger in a contained area sounds like a good idea. On another message board we have that, though we always mess around and don't mean any of the things we say. It could be like a Dis Board, you know? Have main event flames like:
Brain Reilly vs. Chris Spade
Lord Vego vs. Master Spider
Proton Charger vs. EgonsGirl

Ok, so none of these people will actually “flame” each other, but still that's the way it could be in a Flame Board. Best way to avoid it cluttering up the other boards. Wish Mr. Big was still around, I still owe him for that X-Men insult :@

Again, I realize what the suggestion entails. However I think it is inappropriate. You are allowed to carry on an educate debate, but I don't think we need to sink down to a low level and create a sanctioned flame, post, thread, board, or anything else. There is enough flaming as it is. If nothing else, we must STOP the existing flaming and learn to get along with each other. That is my wish for the Holiday Season.

Keep wishing Chad. There will always be idiots out there who need to start flames.

I dont understand why you would put us up against people. And….are you trying to make me look like the bad guy? Im a bit confused. Look, I want nothing more then a prosperous board, and although i have denounced my modship, it doenst mean i have turned into a “hothead” I intend to just return to normal membership. I cant deal with all the crap mod's do. SO i dont want to be one. Plain and simple. I intend to still be a good member, Im not going to openly attack Chad, no matter what happened, although I wish you (chad) would have PMed me instead of calling me out like you did in the mod forum. As I have said, I would have gladly deleted the subject at hand over at NS, but as you said, NS is not this site, and what happens there, should stay there. I for one, support a debate forum. Not a flame war forum, because to openly slander another member is wrong. You want my honest opinion?

In the sense that you said in order for a member's complaint/opinion to count, they have to have been a supportive, good time, member of the GBMB. now, as you know, I have given much to this community. So, thusly, my opinion and complaint should matter. I do not intend to be “Whiney” about anything. But I am a bit critical. And now that I am no longer a mod. I would like to address a few things. For the sake of getting them out in the open. In Bo's post, he expressed his distate for having Back as a moderator. And you had said, “No, he will stay, stop whining” even after a few members had expressed their distate in some of his posts. Now, I dont care if he is demodded or not, because I am not mean or anything, but I do ask that when the consensus says, that you dont say, “no, stop whining” Now, that may have not been your exact words, but thats what i got from it. So all I ask is that you consider their opinion before shooting them down.

Also, as I noted in the mod forum, there is a “Ban this person” post scouring all over the page. And when I read those, I found that the only reason that moderator wanted them banned, was because of a dislike for a comment, or just because they made that moderator mad. Now, Im not going to say names, and this moderator has said he will stop doing that. But if, by some chance i hear it still is going on, youll hear from me again.

With that, I ask the people of this site, the community, not to dislike me, or anyone else that may take sides with Bo and the NS crew, because, like you, we have reasons for what we did, and even tho we seem to be te torn, remember, their is one commont thing that unites us. Ghostbusters. And you have to realize, that no matter our diferences, ghostbusters will alwasy unite us. Unless, of course, you let personal vendettas overwhelm you to a point where you are blinded by hatred. But anyway, with that, I stop, because this is the longest, most honest, sensible thread i have ever written, and im tired of typing.

Chad, I understand where you are coming from, but I am not exactly saying to start a whole thing for flaming… at all. I am saying we should allow it. I mean, when haven't you seen an arguement get fun when it gets explored a little more than “I don't like you.” “Well I don't like you!”

I appreciate your candor and honesty Chris, and I respect it as well. I look at each individual, as just that, an individual. I expect nothing less from the rest of you. Grouping people together for the sake of generalization is just as ignorant and low as flaming itself, and in many ways, is a common characteristic of flaming.

Judging by your post, I wish I had PMed you, although my post in the mod forums was objective and was only there to bring this to your attention, as well as the rest of the mods. This post, and the post you authored at NS almost seem like they were written by two very different people and I would like it, very much if you would talk the situation over with me because I think you are an asset to the Fan Project Consultants, and I never intended for you to demodd yourself.

i am judging flaming as fighting , because thats what flaming is ,a debate is fine and argument is fine , but flaming isn't because when you start flaming you start insulting people , thats like saying killing people is wrong ….unless you do it over here . the only option allowing flaming would give you is the ability to cuss eachother out and insult each other . otherwise it's the same as an arguement. so no , we don't need to be able to do that . if you are so upset about how something is going around here that you have to cuss and insult people then maybye you're taking this too seriously and need to take a break , because this is just childish . i hope sony isn't watching this because they're going to think all the ghostbusters fans out there are a bunch of kindergardeners that can't get along .

I get what you're saying Bondo, but by simply letting them be in a nicely, moderated, and contained space, these flames will eventually fizzle out and most likely the problems will be resolved. I'm mostly thinking of an experiment I did with fire, by cutting it off from any oxygen, it did fizzle and die out, just like board flames will.

p.s. Glad to hear that things are cool between us now Chris.
