Ban hammer wielded after a stormy night in my PM box.
I hereby propose that Matt's title be changed to "Albino ****".
M@t doesn't tell his girlfriend about me.
m@t has a girlfriend?
Why, are you interested? I'm sure if you got him drunk enough...
i like manton as much as the next guy, but let's not beatify him quite yet. the guy also has a hair-trigger and is quite liable to go off on people who simply disagree with him, taking even a well-intended question as a personal affront. this is not to say that there aren't snarky dickheads on CE (and even trolls who imitate them just to get a reaction). but the kind of shoot-first, figure-out-later reaction that is prevalent among some posters is why I gave up going there.
Come on. Most of us are *****cats.
I'm just catching up on the drama and while I agree with you to some extent about Manton's hair-trigger, in the 5+ years I have been here and AAAC, I've also seen him change his mind about something, or someone, after hearing them out so he's not as dogmatic as people make him out to be. And he's usually quite civil in his disagreements with others. It's just that he's a magnet for every obnoxious sh!t disturbing troll who is looking for a fight. In the end, I think Manton (like many of us who spend a lot of time here) just needs a break from SF. Despite the benefits we derive from SF, you have to wonder how long one can sustain a posting pattern that has you spending several hrs/day on SF without it interfering with other aspects of your life. Without absolving Metro of his idiocy, I happen to think the entire incident was a convenient excuse for Manton to justify taking a much needed SF break. I wish him well and hope he'll return to posting later on but completely understand his desire to leave.
Responding to that by reinsulting me (I was asleep by then), and then sending another PM noting my place of residence and calling me a "******* ****" probably won't make you any friends. It would also make you racially misguided since I am white, but aside from that, a subsequent apology won't be your salvation. Byebye.
I'm kind of like roaches. I'll be around forever. Occasionally there will be a one in your kitchen
