I hope I'm not getting a cold. Someone in my house has one, and I've now got a bit of a funny throat and that usually tells me I'm getting a cold. Urgh.

What many of the haters took as prejudice against America was not at all. If those people had bothered to discuss those issues calmly, then there could have been some interesting debates. Instead, it appears there was a fair bit of insecurity and as soon as it appeared that America was being criticised, they began to hate him.
Eh, no, you're missing the point - I agree completely with Killa and I'm not AmericAn. I find sometimes he is pompous and condescending. Basically what I'd call a smart arse. Sometimes he is ok and I've had good conversations with him in the past.

At the end of the day he rubs people up the wrong way, lots of members have left, so you're ok with that then yes? Just because you don't like them? You are supposed to be impartial. All I've seen here from you today is massive bias towards Plite.

I certainly didn't force anyone to leave - they all left before I began posting again. I was surprised at a couple of them - but they left of their own free will.

A lot of people on this forum could be said to rub others up the wrong way. It's sort of human. PLite's certainly not the only one. I'm sure I piss a lot of people off. Is that a reason to start a flame war?

Exactly. I thought a forum was all about debates and expressing opinions, not deleting posts that you deem 'obscene'.

The recent MoVa exodus (which i was unaware of until just recently as i was offline for 2+ weeks) somehow reminds me of a scene from Werckmeister Harmonies... ...

I can remember recently replieing to defend gay people when he used a derogatory statement about them, but not anything else recently. So it's a bit silly deleting posts if you don't know why.
What do you expect from this site these days?

He can be annoying, there's no doubt (so can I, as you might be able to tell). I've known PLite for 10 years, and Tyler has known him for longer than that. PLite, Sunfrog and Freddie go back even further than that. We are not always in complete agreement with each other but we can enjoy our differences. Friends tend to tolerate each other. And tolerance might even create friends.

Sarcasm, bullying, insults and prejudice never make friends, however, save among bullies who are also allies.
Sarcasm makes friends all the time. Some of the best people that were on here before the return of total douches were great people with sarcastic senses of humour.
