Yes, yes, and props to Druid for bringing up my criminal record on the forum boards.

I also would like to thank him for telling me I have no chance to compete and I am incapable of rational thought, all after asking about a rule. I had very little contact with him up until he got extremely personal.

He has been bullying people on the boards for nearly a decade and more than one person has said they have been attacked and disrespected by him. I have also received support from several nameless GMs who see his rudeness but stay out and above the fray.

Cheers to all including The Last Druid... If he can dish it out he can surely take a jest or two..

I saw the posts and agree maybe should not have posted it. But at the same time you gave him the information needed for looking it up. Then made an enemy of him. Not the best of plans.

Bottom line I gave him props because you started this thread and therefore you cannot take the position of being a victim in THIS thread. Let it go. What is done is done. Why have a public feud that can only turn everyone off to everything you write? Or is your goal to be so obnoxious that you goad him in to saying something that will get him banned? Careful, that sword could cut both ways.

Not giving you a hard time or taking sides. Just trying to give you a friendly word of advice. Take it or leave it.

Anyone that's played this game long enough knows perfectly well that no matter how good a team you put together, HAL will do its thing.

Also, posting someone else's team without permission is generally not a cool thing to do.

Valen pretty much summed up the rest nicely.

The Last Druid started it all, I never said one negative word to him and he attacked me personally out of the blue. You can give him all the "props" you want. He is a legend alright, a legendary jerk with a lot of last place teams. .... Kick rocks.

Might want to contact Strat then. When I look at the first post in this thread it says author is Radagast Brown.
I cannot even find a single post by Druid.

So if Druid started this thread something is seriously wrong with the site and needs to be investigated.
If in fact however you started this thread then .... well you started it.

He may have been rude to you in other threads or in private messages in leagues. But that does not change the fact you started this thread and are actively choosing to continue the conflict.

We get too hung up on who started things, who fired the first shot. Of more importance in a feud is not who shot first. It is who will stop shooting first. Who stops firing? You are going to accomplish nothing by firing more shots. If you are the only guy now shooting then well .... you are the only one seen shooting.

Nobody can change the past. But the future and how we respond can be.

I had been avoiding this thread, but decided to open it (only to put off changing the car battery). I am glad I did...the words above are striking in their common sense attitude to conflict resolution. Thank you, Valen. In today's world, it is easy to escalate...but very difficult to sit down with grace.
