How Peace Can Be Achieved on AGM Simply

Posted by Anonymous Fanatic
721 days ago


With all this nonsports going on lately, I decided how we could achieve peace and to a certain extent, harmony on this site once again.

Even though I've only seen one episode of "Entourage" (forgive me) I will pay homage by referring to the two primary headaches as "Turtle" (Manny Stiles because of his turtle tattoo on his left arm) and "Fiction" (Tyrone Briggs for being make believe)

  1. Paint a big yellow stripe down the middle of the 'chair - one side Fiction, one side Turtle
  2. A best of 707 tournament of Rochambeau - loser has to buy and read Kenrick's book and write a report for the 'chair's benefit
  3. Play the quiet game - first to make a comment has to has to buy and read Kenrick's book and write a report for the 'chair's benefit
  4. Call Dr. Phil to end this, Britney's a lost cause at this point, but the 'Chair can still be saved!
  5. Turtle watches films of Bears games and Fiction listens to Turtle's rap songs continuously until one begs for mercy. Loser has to watch Dr. Phil for a week.
  6. Fiction and Turtle learn how to battle on their e-mail accounts instead of on the Beloved Armchair
  7. Hold an Edit off! Turtle and Fiction make as many edits as possible in a 24 time frame, loser gets killed off in the next episode, I mean loser is banished to EntertainmentWikia.com
  8. We get them both on FEAR FACTOR and joe Rogan gives them the Mencia treatment.
  9. Coin Toss by someone other than an NFL referee.
  10. We secretly start a new website, move all the encyclopedia pages, leave and don't tell them!
  11. Just vote them both off the island - neither one is worth the trouble
  12. Another TV solution - Wife Swap! Or failing that, let their wives slap some sense into them!
  13. Spelling Bee - I bet we could get ESPN to air it!
  14. Pray and hope someone new joins the site and pisses both of them off at the same time!
  15. Block their ability to comment, allow only posting - that would limit most of it
  16. Have admins delete their comments that are inflammatory or out of line with the discussion
  17. Have Fiction give a rational explanation for why he can't shut Turtle up and prove who he really is. I bet a rational explanation as to why would quiet a lot.
  18. Vote them both off the island!!! WHO NEEDS THIS?

[edit] And the real solution

Since neither one of these numbnuts are going to end this with a reasonable solution, let them agree to not respond to each other's posts, comments or any public forum. If they say anything to each other, Ban them for a day - next offense 3 days, third offense - GONE!

Let 'em talk in private all they want - 'till they're blue in the face but this public airing of slander, cusswords, name calling and egotism is offensive to the site. It should not be tolerated in any form and certainly not to this extent.

So there's your solution.

Since Fiction won't "give in" to a simple request and admit he's a liar, nor is willing to offer a teeny weeny slice of proof that Turtle is requesting, and Turtle states over and over again he wants NOTHING to do with frauds, liars and fakes and he doesn't want his name and REAL identity slandered by a dressed up Anon, separate them - and MAKE SURE THE CONSEQUENCES ARE SERIOUS!!!

So what do you say Fiction, a.k.a. Tyrone* Briggs*??? What do you say, Turtle, a.k.a. "fat prick"???

We're at a stalemate and we shouldn't punish the 'chair because you're too much of a fraud to admit you're a liar.

Don't comment on his posts, He won't comment on yours. Don't reply to his comments, he won't reply to yours. Simple. It's what there's an Ignore Function afterall... USE IT!

I think it's a fair reasonable solution...

If anyone else has a suggestion, PLEASE offer it (the funnier the better)

Punish these numbnuts with words for ruining your fun!!!

I like how I said it better!

I really don't think I've done anything wrong other than provide evidence and be incredibly annoying by responding to every attack; I mean, I've refrained from cursing and name calling (Other than quoting the names I was being called)but here I am offering pretty much the same solution as you have!

Eh, yours really was better... 'to the point' definitely works better than backhanded sarcasm in this case...

But if I would have watched more Entourage, I would have had more to work with!!!

I have communicated to each of them. Privately. Like you all should have.

Tyrone and Manny are running around trying to light each other on fire and what are you all doing? Offering them a gas can.

It isn't Tyrone and Manny that need to shut the fuck up, it's everyone else. I agree they shouldn't be doing it here, but it's still up to them HOW they do it.

So far, SSReporters, Erooster, some anonymous dude, Napolean15, just to name a few, have posted Lockerrooms on this situation. How about banning them for not minding their own business, or adding flames to the war?

If Manny or TB post something publicly then go ahead and comment your ass off, but there is no reason to post something of your own just to piss them off and start everything all over again.

Its up to Dan and Roblefko and Pean to make the decisions, they "own" the site. Admin priveleges is exactly that, a privelege. You help other users navigate the site, help Dan and the guys with projects. It does not give you any rights to discipline or otherwise affect another user's rights to the site. Send Dan an email expressing your concerns, but be careful not to cross the line, because you too will face consequences.

Hey Kelsdad - how would you feel to be personally badgered over being "a fraud" for 2 weeks? Erooster uses your name once and you didn't like it. How about YOU being demanded to produce private ID on an open wiki community or being slandered as a "fraud"?

And now an admin heroically jumps in?

There's nothing I haven't said to you that I haven't said to him, Tyrone. You want to accuse me of taking sides great, but I don't. There are two people involved in this feud, two people who share equal blame. And once resolved, will share equal credit in doing so.

I've met Manny and he's a nice guy. I haven't met you yet but based on what you did for Niteowl you're on the level too. You're both equal in my book, I respect you both as writer's and I have learned things from both of you. That is the extent of my allegiance.

I don't care who started it, I don't care who is right or wrong, I only care about the first one to man up and end it.

As badly as I want to shoot Manny, it would be a waste of good ammo. Here's my suggestion. Lock them both in a room with about a week's worth of food but no computers and let them handle this matter peacefully. If that doesn't work, banish one of them or the person that started this thing for a month. I know, it sounds draconian but there has to be some peace here. Tyrone needs to focus on the health issue in his family. Manny, lay off the man, please. He's got enough on his plate. When things settle down, then you two need to go to some place in private and settle this.

Cougar, did you READ this post? I offered a perfectly logiocal solution - he continues to be a fraud and leaves me alone, I'll let him continue to be a fraud and leave him alone. But this is more important to him than that - he was never going to let it go - WHY? Because he can't prove who he says he is? Because he slanders people and runs behind his fake name and personna?

AS for ME laying off him - don't get it twisted - I didn't call him a single name other than "fraud", "bullshitter" and "liar" because well... they're all true.

If they weren't true he could have easily proven to me. In private. He knows my e-mail, he knows my phone number and he knkows my IP address (or gave it to someone to perform attacks on it) - I didn't "dog him" for two weeks. I presented info I found about his lack of existence and he offered no reasonable explanation, just a bunch of cuss words. I didn't post a lockerroom post "Fack You Manny", I didn't come to this site with the intent to destroy, intimidate and slander. But I'll be damned if I sit back and let some fake hiding under a rock do those things in my presence.

Not only that THIS POST was intended to humorously show I was willing to "let it go" - HE was not and won't probably for as long as I live...

Ban me if you gotta for explaning this...

Liked your analogy about the tennis ball. I say that we get these two together for a face to face, with no weapons or distractions of any kind (phone, internet, television/radio), lock 'em in a room and let them talk this thing out, no matter how long it takes. Let 'em have food and provisions but under NO circumstances are they to leave the room until it gets resolved in a safe, sane and peaceful manner. It's gotten ugly. It needs to stop quickly.

You are SO right. I still think that these two need to have a face to face in a neutral area with a referee and talk this thing out until it's resolved to EVERYONE'S satisfaction. Remember when Kelsdad posed the question about the kids and the tennis ball? This is what it has come down to, from my point of view. Putting them in the same room with provisions (even MRE's) but no weapons, cell phones or other distractions might work, it might not. Time will tell.

You punish BOTH kids. From what I've been told, Manny's been banned for a period of time that I did not discuss with ERooster. I just hope that my suggestion of mediation would be taken up by both parties. I have communicated that to Manny and will communicate the same to Tyrone this week or this weekend. There is a chance I might go to the Atlanta Braves Fan Fest this Saturday and may not do it until I return.

BLocking won't do anything. Manny has a very legitimate concern here on the point of the IP attacks, just as Tyrone has the right to be left alone. I will not stand for either of them to be permanantly or long term blocked, and short term blocks are not working to stop the feud. They need to figure out a way to figure it out on their own

FP, please read TBs "About me" section on his profile - I am 100% willing to resolve this privately. I "tried" to resolve this simply but he utterly refuses to cooperate.

I sent him one simple short e-mail - How do we resolve this? and he says on his profile that I am "harassing" him - YET he CONTINUES TO CALL ME BY MY REAL name as well as call me many slanderous names like "pigfucker", "fuckhead", "prick", etc and so forth. Let alone defamation of character and threats. I mean, I could probably get a lawsuit against him if it was worth my trouble. And he acts this way because I untangled his web of lies.

WHO is harassing WHO - I just want the same ability to call him his real name and have the same ability to associate some derrogatory terms to it - I won't but why should HE be the only one to attack and hide?

He is just begining - I can play the nice game WAY better than he can - I promise you - let him come back, un-ban him and see what happens. Do it now!

He is a mind games player. No matter what you think will get resolved, it will come right back. He will change the subject and relocate the focus on everything but what's really going on. He didn't respect my suggestion that we leave each other alone and he didn't repsect an Admin's request to "stop" - in fact he blatent disregarded an ADMIN.

Like I said in this post, I have no porblem letting him be a fake fraud and a liar. I don't care that he's covering up his real identity with such fervor - it's a clear demonstration of his character - but what is he hiding for? Defamation lawsuits? Criminal activity?

Let him back in! And watch the site get FURTHER destroyed with troll-like behavior, slander, blatent disregard of community and indeed more namecalling and swearing galore.

All I want to know is WHY?
