And I'm not joking, horsing around or being stupid.
I am finding myself getting more and more frustrated and angry at some of the people that inhabit these forums.
This is a friendly place where we meet to exchange ideas and swap arguments about everything and anything that comes to mind.
It's all taken in the right spirit.
Except for a couple of incidences over the past couple of days, and specifically one person.
There has been a marked increase in swearing,I dont know what's going on with the language filter but the most obscene and harsh cursing is being allowed through with no action taken against those that do this.
I'm not a prude, but I feel that on a forum where a large percentage of the users are pretty young (no offence meant), that the allowance of people to post "MotherF--- C--t" is beyond most limits set by public server forums.
However, the main complaint that I have is with a certain poster that goes by the name of Micheal Corleone/Fr!day.
This guy has been around for an age, and does nothing but heap sarcasm, rudeness and obscenities upon the posts of others, again without any sort of reprisal being issued.
I am incredibly frustrated by this, as if I could obtain this guys info, I would personally go round and punch seven shades of whatnot out of him.
I am a placid, comical guy, but when I am purposefully wound up by the same person, over and over and over, as are many others - then I lose my patience with both him and the places he chooses to post.
He offers nothing of interest, never posts any topics and merely replies with intentionally deliberate inflammatory remarks, culminating tonight in more swearing.
I'm a grown man. I could choose to ignore this person, but if I wish to continue to use these forums in the spirit in which I believe they were intended, then I cannot allow his annoyance to continue.
I dont let people talk to me like that anywhere outside of a computer forum - I react and punch them in the mouth.
That's how I deal with morons that make personal comments at me.
I can't do that on here, but I wonder why someone is allowed to post such moronic comments time and time again.
It's not just me, even SR staff have replied to his comments with anger and hostility.
So, having posted a request to remove an obscene post in the Sony section under "Gt3 Delayed" and yet, hours later, that post is still there, and having been wound up to the point of wishing to lay my hands on Corleone, I have decided to remove myself from these forums until such things have been remedied.
I am a tolerant, pleasant person but I will not allow a child to try to wind me up, without me being allowed to react in a reasonable way and knocking his teeth down his throat.
If anyone needs to check, go read the DVD forums, especially the "so many questions" thread.
Pointless, hostile attempts at nothing more than childish wit.
I refuse to allow myself to get annoyed by this and I bid Special Reserve Forums goodbye.
I will return in a couple of days to say bye to those that I have had a lot of fun with, but getting angry at a kid that needs a slap is not the way I operate.

PS - the change in tone has nothing whatsoever to do with Goaty's monkey army just turning the corner beside my house!!
This is true, Lylat Wars sucks, all hail Goaty.
I think Goatboy is still trying to figure out whether that was an insult or not!
er....
Hang on a minute...I've been insulted I think...
I forget what it was now.
Boy, Lylat Wars sucks
