Josh, Spooky (I don't know your actual name, sorry), the personal attacks have started, and so now I'm stepping in.

If it's gotten to the point where the potshots are getting personal, then you both need to step back and take a deep breath. I deleted both of your last posts, because it stepped over that line. You don't like each other. I get that. There are people I don't like. But, we are expected to act like grownups around here. Some of that has been lost lately, but FWC is essentially a drama-free zone, and that's part of our identity that I would prefer we retain.

So, take a step back, calm down, and let's move on.

Spook, if those pictures were taken by the helmet camera, pretty good quality. But that first one looks like it was taken off a fliphone... Or just motion at the time?

Still I think this is pretty cool. Although I'd think anything like a race/bike race or whatever would ban against such devices as distractions to the competitors. :/ It may not be competitive though so is allowed.

I'm preeeetty sure that if one of my buddies rocked up to my house on that bike, telling me he was going to ride his bike around singing songs like Wilmer Valderrama doing bad karaoke wearng a helmet camera thing, that I'm thinking is large and over-sized like the time Homer wore that camera-hat to catch out Apu recycling hotdogs...

...like the above pic, that I would no longer know them.




Yeah - I ended up Wiki'ing who that guy from That 70's Show was coz it was driving me mad. He sounds exactly like Fez which entertains me to NO limits. I even picture Fez sitting at a computer typing his RP, chuckling to himself and saying "That'th great!"

Like when you called in to EFG to say something not as Spooky Doom, but as Christian Colde, for the very first time. It was to go ballistic about SPW letting someone kick out of your finisher because you'd been "trying to put it over for a year." You said you regretted everything you had done to help get exposure to SPW. I think that was a little over the top and I think that the manner in which you make your points can be more arrogant than constructive.
Aren't all podcasts done OOC? Call me Christian if you want my name; I am not aware of any podcasts done from an e-wrestling character's point of view and when I appeared on that podcast I spoke from the heart. The OOC heart. I cannot understand where the confusion can come from: how could any of my comments be construed from the point of view of a lil' Grim Reaper thingy? So if you're accusing me, Christian Colde, from coming off as arrogant; I'll just leave it at that. Much better than some frankly insulting comments done towards my regards. I mean, arrogance is something you have to feel, no question that what was said about me, Christian Colde, was meant as outright insults.

It's a bike fest, not a bike race (though I am still pretty fast). Hopefully I'll tape the dang thing and you'll get to see how truly huge it is. 50,000 people easy, no kidding.It's a Go Pro camera I got from Craigslist. They're becoming increasingly common but still plenty expensive. All photos are from the new-fangled machine.

As far as I know, I've only really ever made fun of your voice. I've barely read your roleplay unless I've had to judge it, or someone asked me to read something.

Of course, you did tell me in chat last night that I should learn how to write something worthwhile, right? I can take that though, no problem. Just understand that there's a limit to the insults between handlers, and once it's gotten to the point where an admin feels like it's no longer in good fun, we will shut it down. I will not hesitate.

And to your point, and really to anyone who feels the way you do about being insulted, the proper method of expressing the feeling of being insulted is to send a private message to an admin so that the admin can take action or mediate a dispute if necessary. Doing it on the forums has always been and always will be frowned upon. We've been extremely lenient on that point with so many traditionally non-FWC participating in Ultratitle. But, it's something that we expect as a basic standard of conduct around here, no matter where you're from.

In your case, I deleted comments from both Josh and you, because you two were treading on getting a little too personal. I'll continue to keep an eye out on this sort of thing to keep this stuff from blowing up more than it needs to. People don't have to like each other, but we will keep discussion respectful. Criticize if you must. Criticize harshly if you must, but know where the line is, because if people aren't able to determine the line, I'll determine it for you.

I think we can all agree that the chat room debacle went totally out of hand. I'll freely admit that at one point I didn't see the humor of all those jokes made at my expense (cuz they never were funny in the first place and just poorly disguised insults) and lost all self-control. Some of these guys, you in particular, I didn't recognize and found their attacks to be entirely gratuitous. So if you are the moderator of these forums, I wasn't going to ask you to moderate what amounts to another insult at my expense, right?

I'll take your word for it, though. Not like I have a choice in the matter but I did want to type that out.

Wow....just wow.

I missed the edited posts, but it is of no consequence. I will agree with one thing...this is kept alive by Colde having his signature as an insult to Sarge. SO if a line is going to be drawn....perhaps that is a place to grab the eraser....

When I say it's over, I mean it's over, guys. When I say take it to PMs or voice complaints via PM, I mean that too.

This is not a request, and I will be deleting any future posts on the subject.

PM me for any questions or comments. I will be happy to discuss it further in that context.

Pointless update: the video is choppy as hell, despite my buying a class 10 flash card to record movement. I've got over an hour of me pedalling around the city at night so of course I'll have to do some heavy editing, but no editing will smooth out the video. Today is the day time bikefest and despite weather forecasting rain, it's only merely cloudy. If any of you ever had any experience with Go Pro cameras and have found a setting which best captures movement, I'm all ears... for like the next 15 to 20 minutes. I'm using default settings because they looked best according to the instruction booklet.
