that's just it Bonn...i DON'T choose to go there anymore because i've come to realize that it only ends up ruining threads for everyone else...you choose to engage him in these arguments & then you complain about him degrading threads...no one's forcing you to reply to him either...
i seem to remember fish & some others on MSG criticizing me & Isles for ruining threads due to our pointless back & forths, at which point i decided to take a different approach...now you guys are getting caught up in the same trap that i was criticized for back then yourselves.
at some point, someone has to be the bigger person & let the other guy get in the last word, dig or whatever else you want to call it...otherwise, it's a never ending cycle.
So everyone else has to adjust their way of posting because of one poster? Am I really the only one who can think of much more reasonable solutions??
whatever man...what you or anyone else does on this forum is of no concern of mine...it's not my boards...i just don't think anyone should be complaining about Isles degrading threads if they choose to engage him in these silly arguments to begin with...it takes 2 to dance the cha-cha (or the country 2-step if you prefer) 
Well you're saying you had to stop and change the way you posted because of Isles. You're saying the same about fish who's complaining about Isles degrading threads. You're saying the same about me too. In short, you're basically saying several people have to change the way they post because of one person. Rather than that one person adjusting the way he posts. That's like getting one player on a team with a bad attitude who skips practice and it having a negative effect on the entire team. Two solutions are to get that one bad apple to change/leave or to keep the bad apple and tell everyone else they just need to adjust to his way of life. The more sensible solution is always that the bad applie (Raul Mondesi, Ron Mercer, Eddie Griffin, and many ohters) is encouraged to change and if he can't, he's forced to leave. You seem to be focusing on the wrong group of people by asking everyone else to change.
I'm sure Isles loves all this attention by the way.
