I sent the original Pirate 4X4 thread to PT and locked the second one to preclude the typical monkey poop flinging contest that is likely to begin.

Also, the butthurt, censorship, "you are a jackbooted thug" style of PM and email has been received. My feelings are greatly hurt and I may have to drink 8 CC and Cokes instead of 7 tonight. :sniff:

I tried to give him somewhat of an explanation in his 2nd post.... But the last thing we need is Pirate over here ass-raping the 4x4wire.

Welp, I guess he's going to be pissed.

Joe, he's gonna tell on me to you. You better get some control over me quick and give me what fer.

EDIT: LOLERZ, I was right. Apparently I need to get a life. How's my wife going to feel about this? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Just for fun, the PM's:

hydra747: What the heck just happenned????
I was the one who reported the vulger comment of "*****"
Why is my post locked?????

My reply: As I replied in the email I sent, we do not encourage or condone threads regarding other BBS's that can become inflammatory. Neither 4X4Wire or Pirate allow the "Board Wars" to occur and a thread like that, even though complimentary to 4X4Wire has all the potential to go that direction.
It's happened before and it always ends up with bad feelings from both sides.
Mike

hydra747: Wish you would have given me the proper courtesy to state such position.
I was obviously unaware!
I will share my opinion with LIL' Joe None the less!
A simple explanation is in due course I would think!
Seeing how I was the person who invoked the moderator intervention status!
Man was I the last ***** to know!
Thanks any way!
---Mike

Mike, I just replied to his PM prior to reading this.

Thankfully the theme of my PM response was "we don't want nor do we encourage board wars". So he's getting the same message, albeit in slightly more flowery words from me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm rolling over here!

One of my machinists walked in and started laughing too, then asked me WTF are we laughing about. I told him a mean man on the internet doesn't like me...

He was all <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Do you think we'll be friends? Maybe like close, personal, lifelong friends that they make on eharmony.com? One can only hope!

This guy's a bit of a nutjob.

I never really liked hydra747. Couldn't put my finger on it, bet there's something wrong there. Just rubbed me the wrong way I guess.
