so what you're saying is if I were normally a jackass, you wouldn't have said anything to me?  Not sure how to take this.  Insulted or flattered.

It's a sign of the respect I typically have for you that I've spent this many post talking to you about this, seriously. There are only a few people on this board that could tell me as often as you (imo) have told me that my intersts aren't worthy of discussion, and still have me even respond to them.

As someone who has has screwed up with trying to be funny quite often, I find [;)] helps a lot.

I should have used [;)] after the Insulted or Flattered remark too.

Thanks for the advise.  Honestly, I haven't been trying to tell people what to talk about or what I feel they are talking about since the Jay Cutler thing.  Obviously, my efforts haven't been as successful as I'd hoped.

Wow.  Slow down there Jackass.  It wasn't me that called you that.

My apologies...it was Tim Cady...

And I still haven't seen any admonishing for it.

Oh yeah, I make sure birthday announcements are on time.

So you basically stopped working and just rake in the profits now, while your underlings do the dirty work for you?

I am totaly just messing with you

I've been tempted to ask for donations (for personal gains) since we've moved but I just can't get myself to do it. [&:]

Seriously, unless you'd get offended if no one donated anything, you should do that. I'm not joking. I missed the first time you asked for help, but everyone does realize it costs some money to keep this site up.

I would donate, I'm not joking.

The donations poured in both times I asked for them, that is what tempts me to do it so I can buy an HDTV.  It was amazing how generous people were when it came to donations, even lurkers donated nice sums.  We have a great crowd here.  I think we sold a bunch of Kurtis's books too. 

Seriously though, we already paid for the software and Erik donated the server so unless he needs money to pay for the hosting we shouldn't need money for this site anytime soon.  Maybe if we expand the site some day to include written articles or something we could use donations to give the writers something for their work or something.

The reason, as a moderator, that I never said anything about the word "Jackass" is that I always thought Tim was joking in that post. With all of the emoticons and stuff - it just seemed like a post attempting to be silly, so I never got the reaction.

Unfortunately on these kinds of forums it is often hard to read sarcasm or wink, wink joking into a post. And words are tricky - one person can read something completely different into a sentence than another person.

I like that posters usually resolve things on their own by talking it through. For the most part, this place is self-policed and I think it's usually best if the mods step back and wait to see if two parties can work things out on their own before the hammer comes down.

I reread my posts, and I made a sincere attempt to be honest and polite in them. It was not my attempt to harangue you at all. I apologize if you felt that way.

Toby, while making fun of Trekkie is fun....I've found it to be largely ineffective. He takes too much pride in being a Trekkie.

Making fun of people isn't as much fun, for some reason, when they don't run away crying.  Though I am a trek geek.  I was also a Navy sailor.  I can take whatever you can dish out.  Very few here could possibly offend me.
