This is the appropriate place...

I agreed with most of what you said, but on that one point, you are wrong. First off, I don't know how long "quite a while" is to you, but there has been rudeness here within the past few weeks. A lot of times the problem is not "patched up" instead it is ignored. The thread is cut off and nothing is resolved.

If you are talking about the under the kilt thing from an ex's mom, everyone has already agreed that you blew that out of proportion. You were also apologized to. Your problem is you cant drop it, that will be proven by any response you make to this. The person in question never meant any harm and the comments were taken out of context. And also I think you are paranoid if you think there are people on this forum more popular than others. There are factions, I will give you that. But popularity? What is this, Middle School?

I think that a lot of what happens here is a miscommunication due to cultural differences. We may all speak English (most of us anyway) but we still have different ways of saying the same thing.

When I was told "Nice try, Jimmy" and the posts were deleted like I was trying to pull some Larry Flint action over on the site... I was pretty p***ed-off. And I still am.

Man Jimmy. I am apologizing in public for you misunderstanding all that. You actually said in the post with Daisy Duke in it "Lets see if Hank will let me get away with this." That is why I wrote "Nice try Jimmy." It was a freaking Joke just like you always pull. Then I cam back and exsplained how if you wanted to post that in the off-topic that that would be fine but those threads were hi-jacking a kilt post with non-kilt stuff.

This one actually upsets me and, I am saying this publicly, b/c I thought we were friends regardless of this stupid forum. We know each other in real life and I really hope we arent going to let a joke gone awry ruin that. How can I come to Philly next Feb if my bud is mad at me?

It is a shame to lose anyone over something that may have been worked out.

It is also ashame that so many people get their feelings on their shoulders over what someone else says or does over the internet.

I want people to realize that I have never nor will ever delete a post for just b/c I dont like someone. If you take it too personally I am sorry but if it gets moved or deleted there is a reason for it and I stand by that. This is now the most popular kilt website on the net and it is b/c you guys have made it that. But I will not let this become a freel for all (as I have said many times). Now more than ever with people advertising here I have to really keep an eye on content and I am not sorry for that.
