Topic Title: Oh I Im gonna kill my wife. She wants to clear our out library...

He can hardly start taking offense to what other people say after that topic title implies it's a free for all.

Still I think that an exaggerated thread title is not a basis for calling someone's wife a "bitch."

"Im going to kill xxxx" is a common figure of speech anyway.

Totally agree, I think he opened himself up to those comments.

I'm not saying it was right for others to call her names, but the OP has been around here since 2001 and should know better than to post a topic title like that and expect everyone involved to come out unscathed.

Well, you're right about one thing. Not everyone involved came out unscathed. Some of them won't come out at all - at least not for another week.

I want to go ahead and commend the mods for doing some very deserved slapping. Other people said the same basic things without being so distasteful.

edit: repeated in Original Thread...where I originally meant to post this.

i think it's awesome you guys even have moderation

in Video Forum the situation is getting worse and worse . . . we have a certain member defeating the language filter to actively attack other members, posting purposely flamebait threads and even posting that he wishes certain people of his imagined 'enemy' - ATi - were dead!
:Q

i don't think ATF has enough mods for video


He was warned last night. Future transgressions will he dealt with harshly.
