FYI: I get PM's about your behavior as well...one yesterday about your posts which I didn't have the pleasure of reading. I don't need to respond in kind, the progression of the above events are self evident to anyone reading this thread.
on reflection I am disappointed that I have allowed myself to be repeatedly brought down to your sorry level.
You keep writing this...is it the third time now? I'd appreciate you not stalking my posts and pressing that green button...it works for Neilster, and you wont be disappointed in yourself again.
Take care Warspite, and good luck!

No one is "stalking your posts" least of all me. However we both happen to frequent at least two forums the same. That being the case I will see your posts from time to time. Of course it would suit you for me to Green Button you but given the content of what you write, someone needs to correct what you say or there is the danger that some people will believe what you write. I haven't Green Buttoned anyone - I do not intend to change my policy for you.
But there are of course better ways of responding to your posts than responding in kind which, as said, will always mean I am dragged down to your level.
So in future I will: a) simply report to the moderators clear trolling and your pseudo - and not so pseudo political comments, b) I will be there to politely point out, in a constructive manner, when you write - shall we say - disingenuous remarks, and of course your more frequent factual inaccuracies, and c) I will simply ignore your childish attempts at baiting (such as the "hilarious" Lulu comments).
I trust that we now understand each other and have a crystal clear path for how we move on?
Take care yourself and good luck to you too sir!

a) Joining the legions of Matrix posters who already report on anything close to political.
b) I'll do the same for your same frequent type posts.
c) Hmmm...you know I write that just for you Warspite...
Yes we do, cheerio, and see you at Bunyadi!

I do not know the reasons why other complain about things that are close to political. I do it for mostly to remind people, so that the thread does not get locked. Political posts have a tendency to start debates, sometimes interesting, sometime heated, and that tends to lock threads. And I find it sad when a thread is side-tracked and then locked.
Start new threads if you want to have a political discussion. If people stay polite on it, and do not post conspiratorial theories, then the thread might even survive quite a while.
