[Windedprism]

wow slow down I was only half way through that list!

[dfusioness]

lol xx

[Windedprism]

Lol I think that puts you ahead of me in the race for spammer of the year!

[nCogNeato]

Are you done?

[dfusioness]

just tryin to prove a point, dont want to be told whats post worthy and whats not

[dfusioness]

What's that word i'm looking for?

freedom of speech. oh and mod power going to someones head, that and the fact someone was supposed to be giving up being a game night mod, and thinking, i dont really want to give up that kind of power, the power that gives me the power to tell people what to do, failed should run for government

[Windedprism]

tell you what, get rid of my movie comp- thats non game related, i might go start my own site , one where my members can discuss what the hell they like

Fizz it was game related with the prize.

[GamerMan316]

Gotta love the massive overreactions on here, wow!!!!

[dfusioness]

its fine, ive started my own forum anyway, my members can talk about what they like

[nCogNeato]

What's that word i'm looking for?

freedom of speech. oh and mod power going to someones head, that and the fact someone was supposed to be giving up being a game night mod, and thinking, i dont really want to give up that kind of power, the power that gives me the power to tell people what to do, failed should run for government

You seem to be causing a much bigger disturbance to the population than Failed, especially considering you misinterpret 1/2 of what he says, and usually assume the worst.

Personally, I think Failed does a great job.  And until someone convinces me otherwise, he'll remain a mod.  Posting random snarky remarks on every topic only convinces me that you care more about proving some ill-conceived point than actually communicating like an adult.

[dfusioness]

fine, i'll leave . and so is dave, we are not being told what we can and cant post- as long as posts are not offensive, anything goes- clearly not the point, i will not stay in a forum were im being told what to do

[nCogNeato]

fine, i'll leave

As an adult, that's a decision I'll respect.  As a member of 360DF, you're always welcome to return.
