About a week ago, after expressing my heartfelt support for a decision my sister and her family have made to relocate .... a certain AFF poster took the opportunity to try to intimidate me by placing my comment under his "microscope".
He was under the false impression that we were not siblings and I was talking off the the top of my head.
In subsequent posts, he stubbornly persisted to malign my intents, character and yes, even, my spirituality.
Here is just one of his zealot kool-aid induced tirades:
After realizing his premise was FLAWED ... and exposing to the reading audience that his attacks on my character were based on his animosity towards me ... he has decided to step up his hate-filled posting ... by issuing a public challenge and threat that he will be a thorn/gnat in my life .....
He apparently is in a tizzy over my postings here at AFF ... he also has blasted me by inferring that I'm backslidden, drippy, corney, pseudo-spiritual, possessed w/ a spirit of condescension, and feigning my support for Darcie, my sister, for personal gain.
Here's the deal ... I have a blackbelt in verbal martial arts and psy-ops specialist...
I don't want to tear a new one on a poster who has seen his best days and wants to face me w/ an under-sized pea shooter.
What do I do? I tried to apologize for offending him in anyway but to no avail ...
I even ignored his flimsy attempt to dictate the terms of engagement ....
But he's leaving me little room here to maneuver ... I can't back down .... even if I try.
Do I give him the ever-loving smackdown ???.... or do I just put him on ignore making him more miserable?.
Signed,
Who's your Daddy?
P.S.
This is my house!!!
I hope that all of your "posturing" here is TIC, Dan. Carp's been around here a lot longer than you have, and this arrogance, if it's intended, just reveals your immaturity.
I'd suggest you and Carp take this up thru PM's.

Mikey Me Boy,
Sorry ... we're fresh out of juicers ... but there's a Fisher Price weed whacker in the back ...
My take: if you bring personal situations to a public forum, things like this are bound to happen, because not everyone knows the details, and everyone has the right (and propensity) to comment, whether they know the whole situation or not.
There is no need for the condescension because Carp didn't know Darcie & DA are siblings! Apart from that small gaffe, I think his comments were okay....provocative, but not terribly rude or out of line, especially considering DA's publicly presented and commonly known philosophies and beliefs.
Personally, I think its kind of silly to have an intimate conversation on a public forum, and then protect one another from commentary like those reading shouldn't have had an opinion. Take it to PM, or let it be public fodder. You can't have it both ways.
In my opinion, Darcie was persnickety in her first little comment to Rico, saying, "Exactly, Rico, you don't know...." (Or it seemed that way to me.) If we don't know...then fill us in? If its private, then keep it that way. Or put a warning at the beginning of the thread to "Read, but Don't Comment Unless You Know All the Details."
DA, you're blunt and rough, so you shouldn't get mad when its returned to you, and Carp didn't attack your sister...he challenged what you posted, therefore you weren't defending her in your posts. (Or, if you were, there was no need for it.)
And are you really going to stick with the idea that you expect folks to tread lightly around your family? Your sister can gain her own respect. It works better that way.
Silliness. :shifty
Everyone has the right to comment, it amazes me that of all the nice comments I received in that thread my brother's was the only one that was dissected. I don't have a problem with people commenting on my thread, so there is no need for a disclaimer. The point is Carp was out of line, and he was told several times that Daniel is my brother, until it finally sunk in.
(I think I've done well so far)

Dig in. The Tupperware party is about to begin.
:sos :guns:drama
Your spirit is revealed thru your words. Folks are just trying to help, and one day when you grow up, you might understand that. Until then, might want to keep your helmet on, you're playing in the big leagues now.

Hello Fight Fans .... this is Howie Cosell on the AFF Sports Network.
This is promising to be an epic, but decisive, battle between the aging, under-sized veteran Carp Magillicutty and the champ, Big Papi Alicea.
We're still in the early rounds .... but the judges' score cards still have the current reigning heavyweight campeon on top.
In round one ...
McGillicutty threw the first glancing blow of the bout below the belt .... stunning our hero, Big Papi; but the Champ showed considerable amount of poise by throwing a skillful flurry of jabs and combinations ....
Carp's trainer, Jekyll, threw a water bottle at BP from the McGillicutty corner... but the BP's inate peripheral vision and dexterity helped him evade the plastic projectile.
A frustrated McGillicutty, then resorted to talking smack, but a thumping left hook landed flush on his temple, quieting him .... BP retorted, "That's my sister, Mick".
.... McGillicutty went flying into the ropes but was able to keep his footing, barely....
In Round 2 ...
Carp ... bucked up and challenged BP by motioning wildly before the bell ... then thowing out a flailing, wristy thread entitled "Let's Bury It" ... The aforementioned thread got little respect w/ an anemic 3 pages, 24 posts and about 500 views ....
A tickled BP smirked and retaliated with a devastating haymaker, last night, in this popular thread. Fight fans rose to their feet .... Right now it appears ... Carp is dazed.

Dan, You're a legend in your own mind. :groan
