I would like to set the record straight about my rant earlier. I had some issues that were bothering me about the site and they had been festering for a while. When this thread started I decided what the hell, what better place to vent.
I am not suggesting tightening the rules around here so that every post is policed. I am not saying let it all go to pot either. I know the moderators have a very tough job, and usually you piss some one off no matter how you handle a situation. For that my hat hat is off to them, keep up the good work.
I left being a moderator(still in my probationary period, I may not have even made it to the final selection) for a few reasons, time constraints with work at that time, my wife nagging about spending more time with the computer than her, and I felt at times we were too politially correct almost santized in the moderating process. Is that a bad thing proabably not, I just like to remove something overtly offensive immediately in the hope that the less who have to see the less damage it can do. I have no ill will to any member of the moderation team here at Martial Talk, even if I do not see eye to eye with someone for their beliefs I respect them for putting them forth.
After I had my rant I felt a lot better, I PM'd Kaith within minutes and let him know that I was very pleased with most of the aspects of Martial Talk. The rant or maybe even tantrum was very therapeutic and I have come back to posting with a renewed vigor.
Hope everyone realizes what a unique forum this is and I hope they take advantage of all it has to offer.

Oh, I am a moderator on an online game forum, The game is called The battles of Tenadia and it consists of Lvling up a pit fighter and fighting in massive arena battles with hundreds of people at a time, all simulated while you sleep. The site is www.tenadia.com but the game or forum is not up at the moment due to a change in WebService. The forum is just game talk, roleplaying, story telling and joking around. That a good enuff answer?

lmao. Exactly.
I just shrug whenever someone says he is mad over something someone posted (or I posted lol ) . KIDS! lol As if any one cares if you are mad or not. Get over it and get on with your life. This is just the internet.

Yup- heard it from my husband-
exact quote-
"Could you NOT spend every waking moment on that computer and spend some time with ME?"
:erg:
Since he spent that past 8 years of his life programming (IE: spending every waking moment on that computer) I was so astonished I was actually speechless. :erg:
Then I did this :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
That didn't go over well.

When the wife says it, it means "we haven't cuddled enough"
When a hubby says it, it means "you can go right back to it in
20 minutes .. if you're smart enough to find this message"
