I think herein lies a small problem.
You see someone saying stop spamming the boards
as a small to no point, however spam is highly
illegal...
Feel free to go lookup the definition of spam.
You will see that I have done no such thing. I
pride myself on my honesty and by the golden
rule. I would not in good faith go and spam
anyones board, and certainly not just to place an
add for my own board.
Another misconception that people seem to be
making is that you are entrusting me with
something by using my site. You are not. I in no
way/shape/or form have anything to do with your
item you place up for bid, nor would I want to
for reasons of accountability. I simply am
providing a medium for selling that item.
Online forums are not considered written in the
eyes of electronic law. Libel and slander are
nearly the same entity in this respect. You can
VERY WELL slander someone on an online forum, as
the medium is not in the format of a written
statement, moreover it is spoken dialoge.
Saying, "You suck" in a forums holds the same
weight in court as saying it in person, while
having written, "You suck" in say an online
publification would qualify as Libel.
The point is more along the lines of defamation
of character, to be more specific, calling me a
spammer... which is incorrect on one hand, and on
the other is putting in into the same class as
the much hated people that actually DO spam.
The word spammer is also now a derogatory term,
and I do not relish be related to such a term.
I am by NO means threatening anything, and you
need to reassess your own claims of me doing such
before deciding to enter a debate. I simply
stated that it can be viewed as such to solidify
the seriousness at which I have taken such claims.
No one likes to be called names, nor do they like
to be touted into a much hated class. I am no
exception.
Furthermore, I see no reason to further defend my
justified actions. I am not about to even TRY to
convence you to use my services. To be honest, I
would not want anyone that can make such a pompus
statement and in the same sentence damn me for
arogance, however, as stated before, I am mearly
providing a medium to sell your wares... and I
would not can you from my site until you have
done something that I see as unbefitting to what
I wish to see on my site.
I very well now expect to see the mod ban me
under the same pretext... as I personally would
not want a thread as long and full of flames as
this one on my board either. I might not agree
with him banning me, as I still say I have done
nothing inherently wrong, besides perhaps a
immature outbreak on my own defense... I would
maybe delete the thread and perhaps talk to the
individual personally instead of making another
post belittling him with the topic, and them
threatening him to take further action so that
you won't lose any sleep when you ban them,
stating, "He did it to himself."
I would LIKE to say I always take the more mature
approch such as listed above, but then again,
from all this community has seen thus far from
me, I have pretty much blown my ability to say
that with any credibility.
Such is life.
I will however appologize for my ride post...
even if it was in my opinion justified, it was
rude, and I'll be the first to be the bigger man
and admit up to my mistakes. I did not wish to
start a flame war I actually hate them and stay
out of them at all costs.
Perhaps I can kill this one as well, if not i am
sure the mod will anyways.
I will not post, nor read any comments after this
one, so any posts made by you the readers, will
be you simply flaming on this board, and I am
sure the mod has some rule against that.
Mod feel free to post you decision and actions
that you will, if you ban me, please contact me
perosnally with your responce and your reasons,
so that I may review them for my own self
gratification or hiderance.
Please stop the flame posts, its done. Thank you. |
