Quote from Maverick74:
I'll tell you what. Why don't you e-mail Baron and ask him yourself. I sent Baron a PM today around 3 pm and you ask him if I threatened him. How is that? Enough of this he said she said crap. Just go right to the source.
When I said I'll give Baron to 5pm that was in reference to Candletrader closing the thread by 5. If he didn't I wanted Baron to close it. Man, it seems like I have said this now 10 times. Am I not speaking the right language?
Who the fuck are you to go around delivering ultimatums to Baron about threads whose content you dislike?
That is the point.
How the fuck was Candletrader supposed to close down his own thread? (Please note the time of your threats.)
And why did I want the thread closed? Because he started a hateful thread whose only purpose was to incite hate.
Mav, you may want to stop whatever substance you are abusing.
"OK guys.
We got weapons of mass destruction, so if a country sends one of their guys over to punish us for having weapons of mass destruction, what do you think would be the reaction of the Civilized World?
For example, what if a guy sets off a dirty bomb in down town NYC?
Would d'ya reckon the Civilized World would think?"
Yup, reads just like what I'd write if I wanted to incite a bit of hate. Very hateful stuff. Yup, very hateful. Very racist too.
I can see why you demanded this thread be closed. Yes sir.
Yeah, that's what we need more of around here. Sure thing. In fact Baron said he is so tired of these threads that he is going to shut down chit chat.
Dude, it's not a matter of what "we" need. Are you going to assume you speak for all of us, you arrogant schmuk?
If Baron wants to change the rules, fine, it's his right. But up to now, there was nothing in what Candle posted to warrant closing his thread.
Freedom of speech is one thing, making racist and insensitive remarks is quite another.
Er, no dude. That
is freedom of speech. And to the extent that they are "insensitive" and "racist", I couldn't think of a
less sensitive place to make them then on a clubby traders' chit chat forum.
