In fairness though it is Stark that starts it.

I know this is completely inappropriate to the topic at hand, but Dan, is that Pyramid Head in your second banner? o.o

Jonny likes to make banners that have nothing at all to do with the wrestlers whose names appear in them.

Oh god Stark, I think you're the one looking for attention. I never start anything it seems that you are always wanting to start something because you might be miserable or lonely. What you need is anger managment course.

Or hey, it could very well be that I'm just stating the obvious and people with a heaping helping of nerd rage misinterpret it.
Example: You.
Another Example: I'm going to assume that Freeman was saying that me saying Jonny makes banners that have nothing to do with wrestlers was some sort of shot at Jonny, when I was saying this:
Jonny likes to make banners that have nothing at all to do with the wrestlers whose names appear in them.
Man, you guys need nerd rage medication and to stop taking every-damn-thing I say as a knock. Especially when I make a comment about how I disliked a segment and asked why non-canon writing was allowed onto an actual show. Which hasn't actually been explained to me as of yet, since TK was kind enough to go off on another trip about me being obsessed with him or something and knocking that I play Starcraft. Which I don't quite get, seeing as he made a thread about it weeks before I did. That's a tangent though.
The point of it is this.
Jujubes, you're singling me out when I can point out that FSX and The Senator said some rather disrespectful things as well. Where are their conflict threads, hm?

Stark has been my closest friend in these e-fedding shenanigans since I started in TNA's official e-fed (snazzy little place. TNA endorsed us and everything till they decided to drop their forums and the writing got unrealistic. I'm talking stuff that Hunter would roll his eyes at) about five years ago. Since then, I've been in around 5 or so different feds with him. Every character I've come up with, Stark has helped me lay out the blue prints for them.
Anyway, you people need to realize that this is just the way he is. He has an extremely dry sense of humor and he doesn't have a problem pointing out shit he doesn't agree with. Here's the thing though, coming on here and complaining about how mean he is like whining about a skinned knee or tattling - it's not going to accomplish anything. In other words, take this a lesson in life. There are going to be people who are going to get under your skin and there's not going to be anything you can do about it. You just have to put up with it, easy as that. I do it all the time because, honestly, what can anyone do here? Tell him to be nicer? Ban him?
I think the only person who has any sort of honest stake in this argument would be TK just for the fact that their arguments are well known and seen on a weekly basis.

Jonny likes to make banners that have nothing at all to do with the wrestlers whose names appear in them. Now that is true, I dont like doing anything relating to the wrestler. I find it more fun to do banners not relating to the wrestler and just having it about other things. Just look at the banner I have now, it has nothing to do with my poser at all.

Deja Vu .... for days later here comes the typical post where you see the following: “everything I say you take as a knock” and the classic “you guys have nerd rage”.
My response:
The ironic thing is, most everything you say IS a knock. And while certainly its your right to have an opinion, you fail to realize that sometimes some things are better left unsaid or perhaps other people don’t want to hear what have you say all the time. Take note: I, or most other ACW’ers don’t go around into threads and ask people “How many NPC’s do YOU have??!?, because quite frankly, most people don’t give a shit. I don’t go into each new profile badger people about their poser choices because again, its not my job to pretend I’m the policeman of ACW. Most people don’t type how over hyped others are when these people receive the majority of the spotlight. When I see things I don’t like, I ignore them, just like most people with common sense. I know by that proclaiming how much I dislike other promos or characters only adds strife to the ACW “locker room environment” and only hurts the fed more than help it.
Now Flamingo made a point. Sometimes in life, you have to put up with people that get under your skin, and I agree with that. However, I personally believe if someone wants to be a jerk, they don’t get a “free pass” to be a jerk. If you want to insult people, be prepared to be insulted back. It’s the law of the jungle. Ironically though, and almost laughable, it appears that whenever I give you back some of your meanness, you make an effort to try to get me banned from the federation over an argument that you started. You can give it, but you can’t take it? If you go around proclaiming “I'll tell you the blunt, unadulterated truth. It's kind of my thing.” You need to grow some thick skin when people tell you what THEY see as the truth.
To conclude, the bottom line is that I feel I have a responsibility to this federation and the people here. I know that my attitude toward others can either help things around here or make it unpleasant. Because I want to see ACW continue to be successful and fun, I choose the first. I could go around and tell people how bad they suck, but what good would that accomplish other than perhaps get me attention and cause some bad feelings. I also realize that my opinions are in fact, not the “truth” but just that, opinions. Yes, in life, we must learn to deal with the rudeness of others....
However, in life, its almost important to learn the lessons of civility and respect.

I really don't see a problem here.
Stark points out the little things that some of us would rather not hear. I haven't had a problem with him yet, and I doubt I would even if he points out something against my character or promos. In fact, Stark pointing out things about promos is actually a good thing in some cases, it shows that at least someone is reading what we write and wants to take the time to nitpick =p.
Actually, this entire topic is really a bash on Stark and isn't serving to resolve anything, rather it serves as a big 'he said she said' debate. I highly doubt he's going to change, and I really see no point to any debate that Stark and TK have. Just take the last show for example, TK gets mad because Stark writes complicated segments, and Stark gets mad because TK writes segments that are way, way out there.
I take it this way, segments can be as outlandish as we want them to be, or as complicated as we want. ACW doesn't exist, and neither does the 'world' the characters live in, so who cares if someone is parading around beating up the Terminator? As long as we're not all flying around DBZ style shooting chi balls at eachother, no one should really get too upset.
I just think it's way too easy to offend someone over the internet. Half of what we say in text form can be sarcasm and someone could take it the completely wrong way. So, if certain people here want to keep fighting over insignificant crap, why not make a topic on this board about it? That way, whenever one party feels the need to go rant about something the other party did, they don't clutter up show boards.
