On what? All I did was post my opinion on a topic on the message board. <hr> <blockquote>Why do you care enough what goes on at HalifaxTalk to post their stuff in your blog? Man, it’s time to get a life. And speaking of thread spotting… don’t you think it is perhaps just a little rude to quote friends’ conversations on your site?</blockquote> Comedy & laughs, that's the main reason. Since you can get banned for anything, this gives people a chance to say what they really want to say but are afraid to. Also, some people in the rest of SC's coverage area would never see what happens on HalifaxTalk if it wasn't for ThreadSpottings. As for other friends' conversations being rude? If you're meaning recapping the threads? No, that's available for anyone else to see. If you're referring to the phone call, absolutely not rude at all. It's the only way that I can relay what was going on. Considering that ThreadSpottings have been less than 1.8% of the SouthsideCentral articles so far, I think it's a fair balance. <blockquote>Seriously, both of you, don’t be jackasses like both of the Halifax sheriffs and the Halifax library board and the South Boston town council… just drop this crap and start behaving like adults. It would be refreshing.</blockquote> If Tom McFriendly wants to paint HalifaxTalk as being as "a medium that brings people into the conversation of how Halifax County is run and what it should strive to be", the people should be able to see the other side of the coin. Of course, I still believe that he's been trolling the board with his sockpuppet which makes the whole "salute" thing even creepier, but I digress. Is this a "board war"? Nah, I'm not in competition with HalifaxTalk. HalifaxTalk is what it is. Admit I was wrong? On what? All I did was post my opinion on a topic on the message board.

Why do you care enough what goes on at HalifaxTalk to post their stuff in your blog? Man, it’s time to get a life. And speaking of thread spotting… don’t you think it is perhaps just a little rude to quote friends’ conversations on your site?

Seriously, both of you, don’t be jackasses like both of the Halifax sheriffs and the Halifax library board and the South Boston town council… just drop this crap and start behaving like adults. It would be refreshing.

Is it a southern tradition for grownups to suddenly start acting like six year olds? Darrin, as BruceH says, you are guilty of circling the wagons... but who cares? Dude, HalifaxTalk is YOUR forum... do what the hell you want! And BruceH, chill out brother! Why do you care enough what goes on at HalifaxTalk to post their stuff in your blog?
