ive had tensions with dcifr in the past but was settled much more civilly than this.

IMO, within the dispute they have to stop caring about going over every point and think more about statistical significance. Like Malmuth teaches: the little things in life just aren't worth getting panties up your ass for and often entails more costs than initially assumed.

Ya, rly. Dci was a complete douche and asking for an apology from him is reasonable. I'd say Boro's going a bit over-the-top, but that's his business. Then again if it were me that had been attacked like that I'd have just but him on ignore... well... if he weren't a mod anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

OTOH, you could argue that Boro isn't even being over-the-top because the person he's talking to is a mod and mods should be held to a higher standard.

Now imagine if you weren't a big Boro fan, you'd probably be a little annoyed by his antics here.

Ok, well, since I'm not a big Boro fan, it's not so hard to imagine, and no, I'm not annoyed by it. Unlike a lot of the ACers around here who are like "thank Boro for converting me!!!", I was AC before I came here.

OTOH, Boro did say his plight was Kafka-esque. Probably a little over the top.

Yeah, I've heard the name Kafka, but I dunno anything more than that, so I ignored that bit.

R U SRS?
DcifrThis has come off as a class act in this exchange, mostly. I'm surprised he apologized for such a token post.

Nope, it's everybody's business because he decided to make a private message public.
