To avoid more poison in other threads, I'm reopening a new thread to isolate this junk. To recap how I see things: 1) Morning of Feb 14, I see some stuff that I found interesting and posted to the Rapids forum regarding the women's teams. 2) Sun morning, I read an extremely ugly sexist remark from HIF. I loose it and start the Valentine's Day masacre thread (which the moderator has since closed without comment). 3) Since then, I've individually posted replies to threads where HIF has made a statement that was ugly (IMHO). 4) HIF has verbally abused me, personally threatened me, and been even uglier since. TeamUSA defends HIF. The BIGSoccer Terms of Service read (I'll highlight a portion I'm concerned about): Everyone knows that I am Dan Zirin and used to run a supporters club. Most people know my face and many have met me personally. HIF, however, is anonymous spewing these threats. While this has no effect on me, his comments here are doing nothing to help open dialog. I wish like hell people in the Rapids forum would treat BIGSoccer like a community get together with friends of all races, sexes, and differing opinions. I have no problem with you being passionate about a viewpoint and stating it in a passionate way (positive or negative). But I would hope that you post in such a way that you promote an open dialog with others (some that you don't know) and inspire others to share their views. Yeah, I got bent by your ugly attitude over one thread I started. Sorry.
I'll do you one better. If you two simply must keep feuding, do it via PM. Any further sniping on the boards will be removed.
Who threatened you? You have pulled stuff out of thin air. You have tried to, and have singled me out for whatever your reasons Zar. I'm not anonymously spewing threats, I told you I would see you at the games, where you could say what you wanted to, to my face. Because what your doing is childish and cowardly. Not only that, but you've decided to make this some treehouse fight, of "HIF v. GZ" I'm mean seriously. I can remember someone closing a thread without comment (That's You Zar) because someone had the audacity to disagree with you. Most people know my face, including you, and have met me personally, I don't consider myself anonymous at all. You're a liar, and a 50 year old adolescent. I'd be more than happy to pour through all my posts, and your posts, to see who singled out who, and decide where things started to erode. However, there is no need for that, you already said it yourself. YOU LOST IT, and singled me out or whatever reason. You are now the one "spewing" threads. I think the "knowingly false" and "harrassing" wording of the agreement would be applied to you. So if you're looking to somehow *get me* you're just going after yourself as well.
