3 pages with no reply, X is a magnet for controversy even when he isn’t around.
I would honestly like to see this. I’m not sure if the mad professor will accept but hopefully he takes it up.[/quote]
I suspect that when he doesnt post he lurks. I think it is hard for him not to log onto this site and touch base atleast once a day. Whether or not he responds to Zraw is up to him

Here’s a crazy thought (and I in no way speak for either X or Z): Perhaps Zraw is trying to make peace between himself and X?[/quote]
Nope this looks like classic dominant behavior, albeit… yes… passive aggressive. However, at least it shows there’s some testosterone left around here.

I never understand why people jump to defend PX - he has bought and paid for every bit of ill-will he gets on this site. It seems he can act like a rude asshole all day every day, but as soon as he gets called on it, THAT person is the bad guy.
I’ve honestly never seen someone get a pass the way he does. He wouldn’t last 5 seconds on a board like PM before he was laughed off and banned.
And anyway it doesn’t matter - not only will he not accept, he will ignore this thread the way he ignores everything that doesn’t fit into his narrow world view…lol… [/quote]
HELL YES
this x1000 i agree, it is an unreal almost surreal phenomenon, X dishes out bile and condescending assholeish insults and attitude day after day, year after year, and when a few people finally get sick of it and let him have it back for a change, some little tool chimes in defending that douchebag as if he was some sort of victim.
it is quite comical actually. [/quote]
First, you are one of my most respected posters from way back. That being said, your opinion of his attitude and mine greatly differ, so please let’s agree to leave it at that.
My problem here is the current “ganging up on 1 guy” behavior that’s going on. It is pretty weak and certainly not befitting of men who pride themselves on certain values. Years ago this kind of shit would normally be associated to a bunch of vindictive schoolgirls, but unfortunately, I’m seeing this here now.
So basically, I do not care to justify, nor validate his actions, nor am I making light of whatever grievances you guys may have with him, but I’m going to post what I want to, when I feel like it, without being swayed by any mentality that the gang here is currently going by.

X’s posting style is what it is, but if people can only fixate on the tone and completely lose the ability to discern substance/what’s-most-important, that’s on them.
Which isn’t to say that posting style shouldn’t matter at all, as both Stu and hungry4more have recently addressed.
And not for nothing, but notice that X isn’t out there calling others “a fucking joke/freak” and other such childish nonsense.
[/quote]
Lol@“Childish nonsense” - perfect example right here - Funny how I’ve never seen you call X’s bullshit childish nonsense. Where were you to defend me when he was giving me an endless raft of shit?
But as soon as I give some back, we get the old “X gets a pass, everyone else is an asshole.” Lol - thanks for proving my point.
Yea - because you know every exchange the guy has ever had with me? He’s been nasty as all hell to me over and over again.
So, make your judgements, but realize you have no actual idea about what’s transpired over 10 years, and realize that your judgement is WAY skewed by that fact.

So, because X has pissed off several people in his years here and they all have individually got sick of his pish, its ganging up on him?

by all means, i am the last person who is going to try to keep somebody from speaking there mind, i really think it is important to note that i think this is all silly, and for what it is worth, i do not take anything x does or says personally trust me i lose no sleep over this sort of stuff
everyone has an opinion, and i just think it is funny that he is finally getting some blowback, and i do not think it is a “ganging up” at all, it is just he has pissed of a lot of people and a lot of people are fed up.
is it ganging up if somebody insults a large group of people and they all decide to fire back?

I refuse to take sides in this stupid fucking debate.
But that being said, have you only been on the site since January? Because, FWIW, the point is PX has been critiqued by the community because of over a decade of [perceived] continued and recycled behavior. Whatever your opinion is, no one really cares about your opinion (not to sound like a douchebag,) so it still perplexes me why people are still up in arms over X at all. Everyone just needs to sack up and move on. It’s sad and tired, even moreso than X’s online shenanigans.
Huh. I dunno he’s never been rude to me. Maybe one day he’ll get me and then I can have a reason to hate on him and fit in with everybody else lol.

ssc, i see where you are coming from and of course, you are entitled to your opinion,
but your last statement just proved skynet, myself, and others point:
that is, X dishes out abuse, insults, and general douche bag inflammatory and confrontational behavior over and over and over for years, thats OK, apparently, but several people get fed up and collectively start telling him to fuck off,
and THEN a few people cry foul and want everybody to “sack -up” and just bend over and take this guys shit because when we fight back it “brings down the quality of the board”???
sorry no disrespect but i just disagree with that attitude and i think it is BS.
why are you and dt79 and the few others with similar thoughts NOT calling out X and getting on his case telling HIM why does he not change his behavior ie start talking with other adults with some respect, because that behavior is stirring up lots of shit>
serious question.
Ok hmmm that wasnt really the goal of this thread… -_-
Not sure its gonna benefit much, if at all… probably wont
Mod, i guess this can be deleted before it turns into a “lets bash X” thread
