Worse, my own individual thread is also deleted. Okay, you lot can pander to the delusional and try and preserve their fantasy worlds, in turn, dwelling in your own fantasy world that you are someone how actually doing the right thing, but I'm getting a little tired of this. If someone posted "Hey I need help with this" and I went off questioning their sanity alright, that is abusive. If someone posts "Hey I need help with the little green monkeys that have stolen my irkium blaster machine" I'm pretty sure querying their mental state is in order, and keeping in GK's policies, since I am querying the logic of something actually said by the poster, in their thread, not digressing into an ad hominid attack. My brain is engaged. The same can not be said for the mods given their latest actions.
chilliman 02-Jul-12, 01:06	so I take it you are leaving this club then?
4boys 02-Jul-12, 08:45	Part of my problem with your position tipsy, is the monkey really green? When someone posts a message with a question, it is not because they think the monkey is green. They are asking for an answer, not an attack. If you think the monkey is green then don't waste your time with the green money. But don't attack the person because you think you are legitimate is calling the money green. Tipsy, you certainly know what it is like to be attacked in the forum. Please don't put yourself in the position of being the attacker. Some of your posts have been reported to GK, and as owner of this club I, or a moderator, is required to remove the posts. Questioning a person's sanity and/or intelligence is an attack. A different point of view is not. I am also required to remove people from the club who continue to post personal attacks against others. So as chilliman so eloquently put it, chill. Lay back and enjoy the club. It is just chess.

4boys 02-Jul-12, 11:13	Yes entertaining, unfortunately in the process there were posts that others took exception to and were reported and subsequently deleted. As much as I try to create an environment that everyone can enjoy without being harassed we have drama queens who love to create fires or just plain don't think first. Or like you pointed out, just did not read or understand the post to begin with! The captain decided to resign the club.
