Yea. I am sorry. I put it in my sig on purpose to get a rise out of him because he pissed me off and I found it entertaining at the time. Sometimes, II come off mean and as a jerk, and I probably aggravate things and make them worse. I also forgot that the sigs carry over to every post.

How did it get in the avatar? I didn't know you could put [img] tags in there. Wouldn't you get an error?

I was surfing American Politics Forum today, which you linked to, and I see a guy running around advocating some kinda version of a Technocracy. That was surreal.

Edit. I can't say I miss him, though. I never got along with him. He hated me from the first post here.

Somehow, you made that image your avatar, and it was WAY bigger than the usual allowed image, so it shoved all your posts halfway off the screen and made the whole page require horizontal scrolling.

Either way, it's not that way now, so things are good, or as good as they can be anyway. Smile

I'm sorry for making references towards Hackfest having a thin skin about his religion. Until today, I had forgotten that I had quite frankly never seen him on other debate forums--he goes on places that talk about games and where he can talk about his belief system and most of all he has blogs (very positive ones actually--religious, but positive), so I just don't think he's used to the format of a debate forum.

I personally don't think Technocrat's comments got truly harsh until the namecalling started, and even then, for being called names, he still wasn't namecalling--he was being very mean-spirited, but he wasn't actually namecalling. I just don't think Hackfest was prepared for it. I also don't think Hackfest realizes how small of a percentage of people believe in some sort of ID TO THE POINT of making the claims that Stein, Robertson, and O'Reilly make: People don't get their panties in a bind over something they don't believe strongly in.
