JeffKardde is speaking as a fellow member. That doesn't mean that what he has to say has to stick. If you don't like him, my best advice to you is to ignore him.
And as a fellow poster, I would like to ask (not demand, I have no jurisdiction here) you to stop beating the dead horse. I would like to ask you to let by-gones be by-gones so that you can continue being an influential member at Flare.
I'm only asking you to do so. I'm only trying to give you advice. Whatever you do with what I say is completely up to you.
Jeff: Please, stop beating the dead horse. Let the Mods and admins do their job.

OK, I think I can safely say I understand where the root of the problem here is. You don't understand me at all. I am *not* the 'new guy.' Yes, technically, I only started posting at this board a few days ago. *However*, I know this board in secret, intimate ways which are beyond your comprehension (so I won't waste your time and mine by trying to explain it).
Let's just say that people should *not* be telling me what to do; it should always be the other way around. I don't mean to frighten you, but you're going to need to adjust your behavior to match my requirements of acceptable board behavior. Either that, or you can leave.
I realize that this may sound a bit arrogant, since I am supposedly a 'newbie' here, but if we all just cooperate within the boundaries I have set up, things will run much more smoothly. Agreed?

RQ: Nobody tells who to do what. That's for the mods and admins to decide.
This is not a board which is exclusive to you. Everyone is treated equally, and everybody is hit with the same yardstick. No one is above anybody. No one, gets special treatment. We are not here to cater to YOUR needs.
What you said to Shik and your line "If you don't like it, then you can leave" was not good forum Behaviour. Shik was right about what he posted. This board does not belong to you. You do not make the rules of the board, they are created by the forum populace themselves. If you don't like that fact, then you can leave.
This is the reality here at Flare. We will not change our reality to suit YOUR needs, RQ.
As a member of Flare. I ask you to understand this in order to be a participating member of Flare.

WhatwhatwhatWHAT?!?
Let me get this straight.
You have lurked here for some time & "know this board in secret, intimate ways which are beyond [my] comprehension." You state that because of this, you are not a new guy, even though you've only recently started posting.
OK, let's handle that first. That's simply a matter of perspective. I've no idea how many people read without posting; I did it for about a week. As far as I'm concerned, the minute you start posting, you're "the new guy" & are thus our new playtoy. (note this is a generic "you," not a specific "you") OK, so you're technically NOT new. Fine. Whatever.
"Let's just say that people should *not* be telling me what to do;" Granted, except for those who are so ordained by King Arthur of Cappsalot.
"it should always be the other way around." Hanh? What?
"I don't mean to frighten you, but you're going to need to adjust your behavior to match my requirements of acceptable board behavior. Either that, or you can leave." Let me get this right. YOU..want US...to change relations on YOUR say-so...despite the fact that neither a moderator nor adminstrator you be. Is that a correct interpretation?
"I realize that this may sound a bit arrogant" No shit, Buckwheat.
"since I am supposedly a 'newbie' here, but if we all just cooperate within the boundaries I have set up, things will run much more smoothly. Agreed?" No, not in the least bit. How big ARE your balls, anyway? The guy who blew up the World Trade Center had a giant testicular Hippity-Hop...but man, I think we've finally found some similarly-sized scrotial spheres to go with Simon's shaft of spectacularosity.
For the record: RQ, do what you want. I don't care. I've expressed my opinion & made some thoughts on what'll probably go down; I'm an analyst. That's my job. Mods: all y'alls is right about the horse. Apologies for helping to feed the frenzy. End of line.

How about my time? I haven't dissed you, or said or intimated anything untoward regarding you and your presence, have I? Or were you joking?

How do you think that makes US feel?

Nope - it sounds arrogant, full stop.
Look, no-body here's out to vilify you for issues on other boards (OK, maybe one or two that you've clashed with in the past), but as Shik so correctly pointed out: new Labour, new Board, fresh start.
Also, you seem to be taking everything said about you as personal slights, when in fact people like JeffKarde, Shik and Dukhat are actually trying to ease the transition for you. Hey, I'm just sayng it as I see it.
This Forum is very lighthearted in nature, more so than many I've seen. Lets everyone just chill the beans and give Red Quacker a chance. But by that same token, RQ, you've to accommodate us to some degree as well.
Little bitta give, little bitta take = whole lotta love.

I get the distinct impression that I am supposed to be impressed. I am not. I can spin words until Grandma Webster comes home. In the end it doesn't really matter. What does matter is the following: Me, and the crazy little moods I get into. For instance, this one: I like to use colons today. But more importantly, I am so amazingly unamused by all this it would take an army of lame comedians on Comedy Central to amuse me any less. This is over. Again, what I said in the other thread of a similar nature stands. I'm not going to lock this right now. I am going to trust the good natures of all involved. The subject will change. Peace and quiet will be had.

We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

I haven't read this entire thing, but I think it's pretty obvious what it's talking about.
I don't care what happened at the other forums. You're welcome to be here as long as you behave.
But the instant you start trouble, you will be forcefully removed.
This thread serves no further purpose and is closed.
Please do not bring this subject back up.
