I received negative reputation with the Comment: "Whiner" for the following post from RevGam:

Maybe this site could have a "Flame Away" forum... where people can fight, debate whatever... and get it out in the open... with the strictest proviso of not bringing it into the other forums here.

I'm yet to see any internet message board that can be continuously free of debates and pointy comments; I'm suggesting a "harm minimization" approach... to manage it rather than prohibit it.
Its a need of any group to vent and debate issues and have a spat once in a while. Isn't it?

Pimps Reply:

"The powers that be have always rejected this idea because they don't want that kind of a forum to be related to this site. One thing they say is, "If you want to flame and argue, join another forum". I would think it would cut down on moderators having to work as hard in the main forum but could be wrong about that. It would be worth trying for a number of months. If it didn't seem to work well the idea could be ditched."

Whats whiney about that?

Also of all people RevG you are one who should think ten times before casting a stone at a so-called whiner. Actually don't think about it at all. Your right to call someone that was self-revoked with all your crying in recent past. Hahahaha what a joke. If you are going to attack me for whining please at least wait until I actually do it (no not now, this isn't whining, it's exposing you further for the ----- you are), and how about being an adult and make it public.

Could it be you gave me this because you weren't happy about some of my opinions I made regarding you pasting a private email from a possible employee? in a public forum? Or was it my reply, "Jesus Christ", when you in a private email, asked me who I was in the first Expat Forum before they changed the structure thus deleting original members?

Maybe it was when I suggested a different course to you whining here:

Would it not be better not to have these call out threads?

[Pimpin]

No. Good heavens a disagreement might breakout on a forum board. Maybe it would be better if posts were only made if they were thought to pass your acceptibility test. If you don't have a comment regarding the substance of the text then why don't you reply to a thread more to your liking? Another idea for you would be to start your own thread regarding what you posted instead of steering away from the original post in the thread I started.

It might be better if there was public access to everyones reputation and comments.

sounds like whining to me, one can have a forum, and that includes the warts and all, jokes, off tangent threads the occasional argument or one can have a blog, written and controlled by one person, and largely static, boring and dead.

seems to me that this forum is headed that way, with the current admins management.

Seems like this forum in a way is going the old hen with all the whining, flaming and thin skinnedness. To get a complaint just cause you made some good points is just sad and some may think too highly of themselves so get off the high horse and back on the earth.

[Pimpin]

What sounds like whining KW?

Yes thought I was providing a possibility for a solution AvDog. It seemed like a reasonable compromise to at least try something else.

I was agreeing with you.


I think REvergam is a whiner.

I like your idea, admin dont, I suspect that the forum is going to die a slow death if they dont change their minds and listen, mind you how long did it take them to set up the forum in this Vbulletin format, admin resisted that change for years....

I was agreeing with you pimpin and though it was a shame that you received that comment. I read what you had posted on the other thread and felt that it was thought out and well written.

Unlike RevG I have no problem with a negative comment no matter how stupid or brilliant it is. I made it public because it should be public when he is cutting me and minusing me "Rep" points unjustly behind the scenes like a coward.

Does he think others believe his "withdrawl" from discussion mostly with Gratila was done because he really thinks Gratila has a good point? Of course not. He either realized he was wrong or retreated after a quick offensive. Either way not man enough to finish the job by deffending his actions/position further or admitting he made a mistake. Yes, his retreat of seemingly humbling himself was nothing but an offensive manuever.It was so typicaly passive aggressive.

Please cut me to shreds if you can make it look justifiable but my goodness do it publicly. That way I or others can either debate you or the jolt you give may enlighten me and turn me around from what I believed before, so I can thank you.

I know exactly how you feel.

Pimpin has posted his point of view, ReveurGAM did the same. I believe it is enough on the topic. Please take it to PM if you guys feel it is not enough. Thanks.
