If there is one thing about this place that I don't like, it's these types of threads. I don't think they serve any purpose. Whatever happened to attacking the post not the poster? I have had as many run ins with rkz as anyone else. Maybe even more, but I'm not taking it personally. I don't agree with how he makes his point sometimes either, but those are the times I take it up with him rather than making a hero out of someone who happens to give him a serve.
If I started a thread about everyone that said stupid stuff around here I'd be starting threads all day long.
To add to this, I don't see why rkz should have been singled out. There are a couple of women currently posting on this site who've been complete bitches but did anyone start these types of threads about them? I don't think so. So what's the difference? If you can explain that I might understand where you're coming from.

so, you'll say.....this wasn't a thread attacking bruce.
except that it actually is.
cuz, being put in this position, he has the option of : (a) rejecting it out of hand and 'starting' the flamefest...or... (b)submitting to a forced truce and apologizing and 'meeting you halfway' (which you KNOW he won't do) or.....what? (c) he says he meant nothing personal, and is indifferent
......so you're 'not surprised' ...now
he's a dick for not playing your little game?
it's an underhanded and passive aggressive way to attack, but it's an attack nonetheless.
so....why do i feel the need to comment?
because everyone thinks i'm a dick for saying what i think about people when they act up. i want you to understand that it is better to call someone out honestly than to try to maneuver them like this.
oh. and bullshit, bruce..... don't act like your opinion of ali is indifferent. cuz that's not true either.
i like both of you. AND i think you can both be dicks.
but, most importantly, I accept both of you and see you as real people. and if it helps, you guys, you could gang up on me and feel some commonality for a while......you could agree on that one issue....that i'm a prick......and have a place to start mending your fences.
