Here's exactly what Homer said:

"All these threads do is create tension in an otherwise friendly community (compared to the other 2+2 forums, at least)."



He's not accusing YOU of anything. You taking what he said personally certainly shouldn't happen.

He's saying threads like this one, where people come in and badmouth people who are sharing information, saying that its detrimental to the community as a whole, he's saying all they do is create tension in an otherwise friendly community.

Given the outcome of this thread, i'm certainly inclined to agree.

Chachi and I did not badmouth the people who post arbs. We simply said "it's not always a good idea."

I wasn't even responding to you at that point. It was a general comment.

I am sorry I called you a dick. Hopefully, we can all move forward and get back to talking sports.

Jesus, if I ever need any nits picked I know where to come.

I'll note very specifically that despite me posting the bit of information that directly refutes your "he accused me of "causing tension in the community." you don't say anything further about that, but have to pick apart the tiniest bit of my sentence...

Allow me to revise, counselor.

He's saying threads like this one - where people come in and tell people who are sharing information that they are making a mistake - he's saying that doing so is detrimental to the community as a whole, he's saying that the net effect is to create tension in an otherwise friendly community.

And I'm sorry I called you a tout, although I'll have you know some of my best friends are touts. (Not the 1-900 kind though.)

I'm an unranked amateur

Hopefully, the polls will stop disrespecting and rank me one day.

Props to both of you for stepping up and apologizing.
