Your true feelings about VIP?

I hope VIP is reading so that they can hear our disapproval over their garbage. Not a single one of those sketches could attract new customers. There's no originality to them. One's got an eye patch, a group of strong dudes have big guns, etc.

They're pretty much taking all of Valiant's characters, *SQUEE* on them, giving them a gun, then hoping someone will be interested in it.

Yeah, we can't talk out mind now because otherwise the lawyer will get scared. Now the mods censor our posts.

We have to "cooperate" or else.

that's the nature of being allowed into someone else's playground.

you're free to say what you like, just not on greg's board.

you can start a blog like every other person on the planet and rail away at vip all you want.

but if you're posting here then you're subject to greg's rules and regulations.

it's not an espcially hard concept to grasp you know.

this is greg's house, no smoking or putting your feet up on the couch please.

What is everyone talking about? "Threats from VIP"? Link Please. A lot has been posted today and I can't find this.

Mike, you can be the coolest of guys here one day, and one of the most annoying the next.

There is an aspect of Asperger's Syndrome ( I was just reading up on it) that applies here - you don't seem to take social cues very well. WE all understand you have/had a problem with one of your posts being altered/removed/whatever, but I am not even close to getting STARTED reading this board after a 24-hour gap, and already the only thing I have in my mind while reading this latest "thing" is this :

Please, please, PLEASE - if you still have problems with this, can you take it up with Greg in private? We all respect your ability to have a problem with this. Can you respect the rest of us by leaving us out of it???

I already said what needs to happen for this to stop, for Daniel to apologize for what he did.

He didn't understand the joke, he thought it was a threat and edited the post, then he threatened me not to post threats WHICH I DIDN'T DO IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

I didn't start this, he did, and he can finish it... he or greg by booting me.

I'm in the right, I did nothing wrong other than post a joke using a quote from a movie that the mod hasn't seen.

I can't be worried about what movies the mods see or not.

what did that horse do to u???

TKWill · Post by **TKWill** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 2:43 am

Have we ever needed a reason to beat a dead horse before around here. For whatever reason from time to time someone feels that it has to be done. It is best to ignore it and let it run its course, it will hopefully all be over very soon.

Wow, Greg. Thanks for burning the midnight oil to bring us this information. I was kind of surprised to see you pop up at this hour.

I would say it's a good chance that individuals from vip are doing the voting, We know they're watching the boards, so who knows how many ID's they have.

Scared of the backlash they will receive I would imagine.
