Also the whole "immature" thing comes from me being the age I am and this specific person being the same age as me. I don't spend hours upon hours on a forum posting and trying to bring people down or treat them like crap because of their beliefs. It has NOTHING to do with "who started it", that's ridiculously childish. It has to do with I don't want that bulls*** on my forum and it's as simple as that. We're not ACF and we're certainly not going to turn into ACF, a big huge giant drama fest.
saw Ryu doing this A LOT to some Cleriths and I called him out personally for it, asking him to knock it off as it is MY forum and I won't have him acting out the way he is towards my members. When he wouldn't heed to my warnings, that's when I started deleting his posts, etc...and tried to keep it as calm as possible. When it didn't work, because we had both sides ripping each other's throats open over it, staff all agreed that we should stop the LTD because it was causing tension across our forums. Everybody could see it and we didn't like it.
We didn't want our members hating each other and plus, to be honest, the debates are just ridiculous. I don't get how people can debate something so fiercely and so passionately...I mean don't get me wrong, I LOVE CloudxAerith, but...they're video game characters, you know? =/ So, we ceased all debating, we put rules over the Clerith and Cloti clubs that no bashing or discussion will go on in either club.
Ryu didn't like that, as a few other Clotis but I won't mention their names, drama broke out in the Cloti club about it, posts were being deleted, and I got fed up with Ryu constantly repeating himself after I told him to STOP and forcefully reminded him that this is NOT ACF and he does NOT have free reign here, I just snapped...I'm typically very quiet and keep to myself, only doing my job on FFF, but I'd been putting up with Ryu for months and I just got sick of it. I'm only human so I will make mistakes and I know I probably shouldn't have snapped, but I did. *shrugs* It's not as though I go around fighting with everybody because I don't. That was the only time I've ever lost my cool like that with a member directly on the forum. So like you, FB, I am typically friendly and light-hearted about most things, even when telling people in debates to calm down, but Ryu was just the straw that broke the camel's back in this case.
