I never know what to do when there is trouble like this!
I always just want to smooth conflict, and kiss everyone better.
If I post - I feel disloyal to Ellpus, and I don't want to, as I like him very much. He infuriates me sometimes... but people you like very much have that effect on you. Ellpus is a charming man, loyal and caring. He has no real delussions of grandeur, I have (personally) never detected a genuine whiff of pomp about him. He's a down to earth guy, funny and kind, sincere and thoughtful. I adore him. But it's obvious he's a sensitive soul. In a family (whether you like the analogy or not - it's reality, we can't help it, we behave like a community/family, we adopt roles, it's innate) the sensitive ones often get stamped on my the other, stronger, more confident members, however unintentional.
I think dedpad was wrong to report the posts - I've seen much worse on other threads. It seems that only blanket condemnation and hatred goes unreported. But he's obviously a man of conscience and that's to be admired. It's rare and to be valued. Also, it is his right to report the posts, and we would all stand up for those rights. He didn't do it anonymously - he stated it, right here. I have the utmost respect for him.
Mathos is an erudite man, I gasp at his vocabulary. I love men who write well, Ellpus also has this gift. Mathos is a funny, sarcastic, quite sexy/flirty with the laydees, intelligent, confident bastard! The spendy/mathos sparring, form some of the bests posts on A2K I've ever seen, dare ANYONE to say they are not! A2K and this thread, in particular, would be a much poorer place without him - and we know it.

Don't you just love the guy? I do... I can't help it. I always look on the ID thread - love it! I occasionally just call in and make a crass comment, just to see what spends says back. I've said this before - he's NEVER boring, and we all read his **** - including mathos. But sometimes spendy's posts need a lot of deciphering... he knows it - we know it. When this thread first started, I didn't think he would post on it - but I'm glad he does! He belongs here with us - it's his natural cyberhome, a place where he can rest his un-washed head, spout **** and we just say 'yeah right'. And if you kick off spendy - I don't giva a ...
We CAN sort this out ourselves...
We are bound to kick off every now and again! Otherwise we would be...be... American! There, I said it!
Awe come on...
Please?
