FREE OWEN!

[hulmey]

GD is for all things related to CC. An individual player should not be the name of a thread. Unless it is announcing a promotion etc, because that relates to CC. If you want to discuss Owen, take it to chatterbox or FW. Starting that thread, when everyone who reads the forums knows what you two think of each other, and claiming it wasn't a flame, just insults all of our collective intelligence.

Thats incorrect!! Congrats owen on making Major. Or Owen how come you cant play doubles? They arent flames but are addressing a single individual!

It seems presently that starting a flame thread with a direct attack upon a member of this community now carries nothing more than a 24 hour ban.

It wasn't a flame thread...

I was just making a thread about owen, and addressing him on something so he could respond to it and so anyone else could respond to it and talk about him with no flaming. If I wanted to flame him, I would have put it in the flame wars. It's that simple.

Are you telling me that you don't think this is a blatant flame? What did you think this was going to lead to?

Starting a new thread so whatever I say in here about you, you can't say it's off-topic/trolling.
Maybe if you just take your own advice and ignore me and my posts, we wouldn't get into arguments all the time.
Maybe if you wouldn't put down everything I say, we wouldn't get into arguments all the time.
Maybe if you weren't so intent on getting me forum-banned, we wouldn't get into arguments all the time.

My posts which you say are 'off-topic', are not off-topic. Like, for instance, this one:

Ya I have over 2490 points twice and while about-to-be-winning a game i lost a game both times and still have yet to make colonel

That is a connection to the OP, not a random, troll post like you say it is. I'm connecting with him that I, too, have been really close to a milestone-ish kinda thing, but came up short.
Also, I'm not making a thread about me if I make a personal connection. Here's something I would say if I were making a thread about me:
Let's say the thread is about..owen.
The OP says 'owen, what a great guy. he does real nice photography work. I hear he used to be super good at soccer too! hooray for owen.'
Then I reply saying 'I just hit 27 medals!'
THAT would be making the thread about me.

But since I made a whole different thread about my getting 27 medals, it's ok to make that thread about me since it started, about me.

Fruitcake is correct in that the above post had nothing to do with Conquer Club. It was all about the relationship you and owen have, or lack thereof. I suppose it could have gone in CB, but anyone with any sense knew where it would lead.

The subject: Owen.

That does not say 'let's all flame owen'.
That just means that people can say what they want about owen with no flaming.
What I said about owen, was actually to owen. No flaming involved. In fact, there were even compliments. I see no flames in what I wrote.

[Sentinel XIV]

Flaming doesn't always entail using curse words and claiming your genitalia is bigger than another's. You knew that the thread didn't belong in GD, and you knew that it would turn into an argument between you and about five other people, therefore making the thread a flame thread. Quit denying your true intentions behind the thread.

So what you are saying is Clapper made an error posting the thread to flame wars. it was she who decided it was a flame.

And no, she didn't say it was a flame. She put it in flame wars for future flames. Even Night Strike said that's what she did:

I believe that thread may be reviewed again, but from what I saw, clapper moved it in order to prevent there from being flames here in GD (which everyone knows was going to happen).

"Was going to happen"

Going to = hasn't happened yet.

This little piece here just proves what a rational person would think of the thread you made. So, you are either saying you blatantly posted a thread which didn't belong in GD, or admitting that you are an irrational person. Which is it, PardiceCity9?

...That post didn't make sense. That says that you are irrational, since you disagree with what a rational person said. And if I wanted to flame owen, I would have gone to the flame wars. Why the f*ck would I post a flame thread in here?

[Timminz]

Why the f*ck would I post a flame thread in here?

Because you're not sure how the internet works?

[whitestazn88]

owen is probably just doing the same thing he did last time by staying out more than required... paradice should do the same because of his infractions

[jbrettlip]

Owen's life doesn't revolve around cc. Unlike Paradice's. So that is why he isn't around.

[Fruitcake]

Paradice, I don't want to get into one of those long no ending threads with you such as we have seen previously. Your tortuous route of logic leaves me gasping for air at times. However...let's just try to take this one simple step at a time:

1) You post a thread that names a person for a particular reason apart from imparting some news about that person (such as the congrats threads that abound).
2) It then, logically, has nothing to do with general discussion in the GD forum.
3) Said thread then belongs elsewhere.
4) Moderator concurs, even decides, this logic and moves thread
5) Moderator makes decision that it will be a flame
6) Moderator moves it to FW
7) Another Moderator agrees this and explains rationale for the move to FW

Now this is not rocket science Paradice. It is simple logic. To then argue whether it is already a flame or not, is no longer germane to the argument. The thread was in the wrong place to start with. The Moderators, in their wisdom, decided it had to be moved to a suitable place, their decision was that place should be FW, QED it was then classed as a flame.

You could argue your intention was not to start a flame, however, that would hold little credence after reviewing the history leading up to the point of posting.

Pc... if you wanted to callout owen then you should have posted that thread in callouts, or in chatterbox.
now I suggest you stop posting in here, as it will only get you farther into trouble.

How do you knw where something is going to lead. Are the CC moderator's not going American and employing Pre-Emptive strikes

[clapper011]

saywhat?

[Fruitcake]

saywhat?

Clapper, you could employ a pre-emptive strike on me any time you little sweetie ...now I must go for a long walk in the cool of the night to calm my old blood down.

[whitestazn88]

of course a pre-emptive strike was necessary... everyone knew the history between pc and owen if they were even relatively casual gd browsers..... pc openly made that thread knowing where it would lead

You completely misunderstood what I said. I was saying that clapper011 and many others, whom I would consider to be rational people, obviously considered your thread a flame, hence the move to Flame Wars. You argued against this. That means you either:

A) knew your thread didn't belong, and made it in the wrong place anyway, or

B) are completely irrational.

So, which is it?

Do I really need to say these things twice?

[Robinette]

Where is Owen?

[Elijah S]

Looks like someone has a hardon for CC... Hmmm... I wonder who? Perhaps a former mod who managed to get themself drummed out of CC???

BTW... I checked out the link. Yawn... I needed a cup of strong coffee afterwards.

[Robinette]

How do you knw where something is going to lead. Are the CC moderator's not going American and employing Pre-Emptive strikes

say what?

This is the award given to those brave men who have made a Preemptive strike against anyone questioning the authority of the Preemptive Strike decision makers to make preemptive strikes against the non Preemptive Strike decision makers.
