What was the point??
We're meant to be a community and friends on this board but because of an arguement on another thread the thread ended up being locked.
This is infuriating and I am severely annoyed at this. that thread could have become interesting but because of the childish actions of two members we can no longer comment.
This is not uncommon on this board I am sad to say and would have hoped we could have a debate without insults been thrown and things spun out of control.
This may sound stupid but I feel like a member of a great community and group and this has been broken by two members who decided to lose their heads over a mild discussion and blow everything up so much that every single member has been punished by their antics resulting in the thread being locked.
This is stupid and I will not be satisfied until they both apologise and put this behind them and then maybe the thread in question can be unlocked and we can resume normality. Remember guys we are all friends here and enjoy friendly banter but when people start fighting it affects us all.

Yeah I agree with you Knuckles. Some people are really being right *&^ at the moment and being very selfish. What is the point in fighting. If one is brewing up between you and another person just stay away from the topic are simply just evoke your opioion without no dumbass comments. Remeber you can always feel more supreme if you just stay out of fights (*not punch up fights, just flame wars* ). Now flaming just makes this place a very unhappy atmosphere to be in, and just for the record what's the point in flaming althogether. After all it ain't gonna get you anywhere in life. I'm Ozzo the Gozzo, and that's my opinion.

Just Flaming in general I was talkng about, but I think Knuckles was refering to the locked Sonic vs. Knuckles topic, so whoever flamed on there are the culprits.
I'm Ozzo the Gozzo, and that's my opinion,..... again ;D

I have no idea what's going on. I do know that this is the wrong place to post it, though.

No, but Knuckles speaks sage words that deserve to hover here.
Yoda of this board, he is.

Well its not the first time you lashed out at someone (admitedly I started it, but I didnt continue to insult), going through some of your posts Pennywise I noticed you have done it before, going as far as calling someone a twa,t.
Well, it was a simple misunderstading, I thought he was talking about archie as a whole, he wasnt, so yeah, whatever.

Please guys just apologise instead of continuing to throw out at each other.
Pennywise it takes a bigger man to apologise.
Ben don't bring up earlier posts. Can you two not just put this behind you
In my opinion your as stupid and childish as each other and my opinion won't change until you both show some maturity and apologise.

Im not going to turn this into a flame war although topics like this on other MBs usually do turn out like that.
You'll find that all of my so called incidents are out of defence against people having a go at me.
also knuckles I wont appologise because I have nothing to appologise for, dont you think your seriously overreacting here just because your topic got locked, because lets face it thats the only reason why this topic even exists isnt it.

because lets face it thats the only reason why this topic even exists isnt it. That is completely ridiculous and its the most childish, immature comment I've heard on ANY forum for a long time, Pennywise/Hogfather. Get it into perspective, please. You were one of the ones that escalated the tension within the topic. In some ways, I can fully empathise with you because I have an awful temper and I'll goddamn stand up for what I think is right, whether its right or not. But within the boundaries of this forum, I restrict myself because just about everyone of these members are amazing guys and gals and I couldn't stay mad at them for long and it would probably be over something petty. I think the biggest "argument" I've had on here was with Shadic where we "discussed" the introudction of so many new characters. . What I'm saying is, take anything you hear that you don't like with a pinch of salt and a jug of gravy and move on. No-ones going to think any worse of you if you laugh and continue with the topic in a civil way. Look at Rob/Gemel. He's been banned 2/3 times now but he can still laugh about it. This isn't just about you, though. This is directed to Ben and any other Boomers that have encited or sparked violence, insults or general flaming. I'm no mod, or have any power over anyone (nor do I wish to) but this has got far too out of hand and I just wish (along with every other peace-seeker in here) that you could even pretend to forget about it so that we can pretend to be happy. Its better than being miserable. ~Scott

well I did act out of order initially (calling him an idiot and all) but after that I did no more flaming, I posted normally and mature, and I sent a PM to him saying I didnt intend it to be a flamewar.

That is completely ridiculous and its the most childish, immature comment I've heard on ANY forum for a long time, sigh... if it was so innacurate why then did ed unlock the topic in question, go and read the reason for unlocking it. its not a big deep thing its pretty obvious if you think about it.

It does say "For Knuckles", but maybe it was because of the matters brought up in this topic that it was unlocked, or because Knuckles sent a PM to Ed. I don't know the facts or details and I don't wish to. But the thread is back open now and business may resume as normal.
As corny as it may sound, we can all start being friends again.

its not a big deep thing its pretty obvious if you think about it. That is what I really hate on this forum. People hardly ever directly flame each other but they make snide little comments that may not directly be flames but suggest all kinds of things and can be just as insulting. This isn’t directed at anyone but I am going to start keeping an eye out for them.

Er, Hogfather, it was locked because you and Ben (but frankly by the time it was locked, more you than Ben...) were allowing things to get out of hand. It was reopened for Knuckles and on the condition that things didn't get out of hand.
I can't make you apologise, but if you think you weren't as much in the wrong as Ben, you're deluding yourself. Getting flamed does not give you carte blanche to flame back -- especially not after being warned. You surrendered the moral high ground on this the moment you flamed back. Listen to ffx, show some humility and drop the matter.

I'll make this my closing comment because if I stay here much longer im gonna get blammed for the inevitable flame thing thats going to happen in this topic (check any forum were someone posts one of these it always turns into a flame war)
ed: yes it was locked because of me and ben but it was probably unlokced because knuckles requested it to be. as you have just confirmed...
Now who wants to bet that knuckles made this topic in responce to seeing the topic that ive just mentioned being locked when he arrived on the forum today.
it really insnt hard to figure out if you try.
and thats the last Im gonna say on the matter.
