I am becoming legitimately concerned about where this board is headed. I'm sure most of you remember how bad it got at at BBF and I really don't want that happening here. I know that as the board grows and more differing views are introduced, conflict becomes more likely. However, we owe it to ourselves and to others to act more civilized.
I am not claiming innocence in any of this. I know sometimes my comments are out of line. Please remember that this is a community and that I am not infallible. If a post I make (or any post anyone makes for that matter) offends you, use the REPORT button. All incidents will be looked into. I'm considering adding more admins to keep everyone, including myself, in check.
Thank you for reading.
I agree.
I think your concerns are valid. Its because of our animosity towards each other that all of the other beyblade community forums have fallen, not just BBF.
People need to learn when to draw the line between discussion and personal insults. I'll openly admit that I sometimes have trouble with this because certain members here get under my skin sometimes, but I'll make an effort to refrain from doing so in the future.
Its just in my nature to stick up for myself. I'm not used to holding back my thoughts and opinions, nor have I ever been instructed to do so. (Not that you are asking us to!)

I hoped you answer. I just wanted to say sorry for all the times we argued. I don't care wat you say but your were pretty rude sometimes too. So just wanted to say sorry.

Apology accepted I guess, but calling me rude whilst apologizing is sort of backhanded.

Look I'm just going to say this once:
Once again your starting an argument. Do you know how to say anything without somehow leaving the conversation annoying? Thats what gets me man, you can't just drop it. You don't just do it to me, you act like a jerk to alot of people sometimes and I don't really appreciate it. You seem like a cool guy, but you should really think about what you say when your talking with real people that have real feelings.
Saying that people are arguing isn't enough. You need to stop arguing too, I don't care if your the forum administrater and creator of the site, you gotta show some respect too.
Look i'm not wanting to get you mad or anything, but it sometimes seems you like to make things worse than they are. I'm just giving you some advice that you should learn to get along with other people. Your the only person I have EVER argued with before and it takes alot to get me mad. Your also one of the Greatest bladers with alot of knowledge, which I can say I really do admire, but that doesn't matter if you don't show some respect to me and others who are still learning the game.
I have alot of my own faults and shortcomings, just becareful of yours. You hurt alot of other people in the process.
Did you read this part of my post?

I was just pointing out that you can't apologize and insult someone at the same time.

Yeah will maybe theres a good reason for it. I'm saying I'm sorry for what I'VE done, but your annoying sometimes too thats all.
Then you should've waited for me to apologize myself, not forced it down my throat. You're being incredibly rude right now and completely counter-productive to what this topic is supposed to promote.

Dude, how else am I supposed to tell you.
WE ARE BOTH RUDE AND NEED TO STOP- PERIOD
Just chill man, we can be freinds still. Just understand where I'm coming from.
XD
It just sounds to me like you are trying to make it look like you're taking the high road while making me out to be some malevolent demon. :\

Your definintly no demon and I'm definitly no Angel lol. Just try to understand where I'm coming from, no one said your wrong but even if you are sometimes its okay to make mistakes, were human.

I just need to say this and I'm done with it:
I know I'm human and make mistakes, I don't need you to make that decision for me. Please, you're definitely crossing a boundary of personal morality here. It was VERY rude of you to say that it seems like I enjoy making things worse. I don't. If I did, I wouldn't be talking about this.
Anyway, I'm off to bed, have a nice night.

How the heck would I make a decision for you? And if thats what it looks like then I guess i'm a pretty good writer. And yes it is very personal, not just for you, pal, but for the whole board.
Just thought I'd let you know that. Good night.
and that ladies and gentlemen, is an example of an argument.
this fkind of thing should be avoided
"i'm trying to finish argument so heres my final rebuttal"
rebuttal then "i'm trying to finish argument too"
rinse and repeat.
i think once an argument reaches four posts on each side, there needs to be some resolution or deletion of posts.
Brad, you know I like you, but you have to learn to keep your fingers away from the keyboard. TheUnkownGod is right and you come off as really rude a lot of the time - all you had to do was say "I know and I'm sorry."
In nearly every topic you post in, you are picking apart other people.
I honestly don't really see him as particularly rude. He rarely attacks them personally- only the arguments they make in a discussion. It's basic debate format.

I am sorry.
This isn't easy for me either. It's hard not to have your feelings hurt when everyone is telling you you're a jerk when you're really trying to be nice. I think in that regard, perhaps my actions speak louder than my words.
Also, I've edited this post about seven times trying to make sure I'm sending the right message.
Honestly, this is simply a solution of both parties believing in their right. It doesn't really matter who's right and who's not, what's more important is that it's settled and people don't go overboard. I like the four post idea. If something goes on for more than that, either it goes off the board and it's settled peacefully.
I thought you were a decent guy until you started picking apart my posts in random thoughts-Brad-.
You were expressing your opinion about the situation, but in a very sarcastic and rude manner, that...I do not appreciate.
Brad, you know I have no qualms against you or anything of the sort.
We've worked out our differences and I think we've become friends in the past few weeks.
Having said that, I have to agree with some of the people in this topic. While you've never done it to me personally and I don't really find what you say all that insulting in the first place, I can understand why others may get offended or frustrated with what you say.
But this topic is not all about you. I think the same people complaining about your behavior also need to look at how they are acting as well because they are just as much the problem as you.
You don't need to reply to everything that's said to you. If something someone says gets under your skin, ignore it. Its really not worth fighting over. I've learned that the hard way having survived through all of these forum changes. Its hard to ignore something negative shot in your direction, I know it is, but really what good will come from getting bent out of shape about it?
Was this because Sam called me a woman?
Also, I agree, but there hasn't been a lot of personal arguments so far. Has there even been one?
He's a lot nicer than he used to be. I don't think anyone from old OtC can complain about the current Brad.
