I know you can take care of yourself, what I'm wondering is if we want members that do that sort of thing.

Quoted from Dreamscale I get you, but I don't block peeps

Correct, Sir.

Whatever you do, don't listen to Dave, anyway. I am the one he blocked. He and I had an argument, which was an argument for sure, but still on a certain civilized level - but he ended the conversation with truly offending me, as he said here, with f*** off and other words and blocking me immediately.

Well I just thought wow. And of course I never contacted him again…

Now he thinks, as he stated here, his measures did work and it's been okay.

So, please don't quote me to fulfill his choice :-)

Perhaps I should have just kept it within myself and not say a word here. But it's in my mind and when I see he adorns himself here with his actions…

He hasn't apologized for his behavior to this day.

Not sure why you want to go there Alex:- But okay.

1. You were not the poster I was referring to - this time. It was an individual that bombarded my PM as well as my personal script site. But...

2. Yes - I did block you and as I recall - said eff off.  Why?

You sent me a rather nasty email on June 20th. The threads were roaring about a writer who some believed had over-commented on their own script. It was an OWC that - I WAS NOT EVEN A PARTICIPANT in. You had a made a comment in regards to how you thought commenting on your script was inappropriate.  I responded:

Quoted Text I see this sometimes and I think the writer is doing themselves a disservice. It becomes obvious, never sways anyone's position anyway.  It's a poor strategy.

Somehow - this benign comment set you off and caused you to send a rather volatile email to me the following day.  Complete with accusations that I along with several other members were somehow manipulating the process/tolerating poor behavior. You ended your love note with an eff bomb, accusing me of being the bodyguard for poor behavior and suggested that I needed to look myself in the mirror (PS - not because I am very handsome - but because you thought I was dishonest).

Hmm, I thought, man - that came out of left field - and sent you a response on what my thinking was. I thought we were done.

Nope - Fast forward a few weeks and you send me another email accusing me of deciding to review a script in the next phase of the OWC out of favoritism to the anonymous writer.

So - over the course of a month you sent me two emails basically accusing me of defending cheating and trying to cheat in an OWC that I didn't even participate in. That was an insult and a bridge too far for me - So, yeah - I had enough of that nonsense and blocked you.

If you'd like to go over the details of our exchanges publicly - open a new thread entitled Dave and Alex's great adventure and we can post the actual exchanges.

What this needs is a sensible person to come in and stir the pot a little. Otherwise, I can see this drama evaporating quickly.

Jokes aside, I'm honestly shocked that two people I like have clashed in this way. Alex, I know you're a little *overly* paranoid about cheating at the OWC, but I honestly don't think much of that goes on anymore. Even when it did, I'm sure it was only people letting others know which one was theirs so they didn't get slaughtered in a review by a friend. Certainly, I would never place Dave in that bracket, who is a man I judge to have pride in his integrity.

I read that before the Deleters, too and immediately  thought it was me you were talking about in those emails! I always think that and that�s why my life is full of excitement and fun.

But joking aside I think I need to respond to all this but don�t know how. Good tha Dustin knew

Thanks for the compliment - much appreciated.

Alex and I never had issues - at least not that I'm aware of - before the above exchanges started. I have no problem being accused of a whole host of things - but right or wrong, integrity is a hot button issue for me.

You are correct that this could probably get out of hand. That'd be a bad idea.

Alex - I have unblocked you if you want to discuss privately.  

There were some hard words, Dave, yes. Then, you offended me, blocked me in the very next moment after you did offend me.

I'd never use that kind of behavior toward my next, others, or whomever…

Yeah…you unblocked me, in holy preacher manner now. Suddenly it's necessary right? Because my post made an impact, he needs to react bla bla

We're just over, Dave. An apology might do.

He hasn't apologized for his behavior to this day.

Sigh. I tried. Screw it.

It is you who owe me an apology.  

Let's post the PMs.  I'm not embarrassed by anything I wrote.  How about you???  C'mon - let's open a thread with the PMs. If peeps think I owe you an apology after reading them, than I'll write one for all to see. Conversely, you write one if it goes the other way.

You up for it, mate??

You offended me, Dave - in a language I'd never use....

And that's all

Quoted from PrussianMosby You offended me, Dave - in a language I'd never use....

Was it French?

Non, mon fere

I smell a 3 page “write off” coming. Topic: Apologies, Genre:any

Alex, Dave has called you out and you have refused that challenge... so you know how that looks. I think you're taking this thing too far. Maybe you got hurt by some reviews of your script and it escalated to this. You're not so easily offended, come on.

what are you saying ... No again, Dustin--- Dave offended me and blocked me right after--- And now he's trying to defend himself.  

I think I made my point. He never apologized.

Man, Dave wins every challenge.
