Enjoy life!!!

May Atlasia become a hard right third world state!

So who are the young punks in this game that you think should be beaten by their fathers?

Whatever. Grow up. Some young guys should get kicked in the teeth and I could do it too. I've practice a few fighting arts when I was your age.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

I am a man that acts like a goddamn man.

Yes, i said it. So what!

Grow a pair and learn how to fight and afterwards we'll have a beer.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

Now lets move on like adults and talk about the issues.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

Telling someone to "grow up" and "act like an adult" moments after one has publicly threatened posters with physical violence for the second time in 48 hours is pretty rich, TBH.

Well, it is the only way to not crawl on the ground like a little dog that is begging not to be kicked. That is something that I aint going to do anymore.

Any talk or discussion of the issues?

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

From my prospective the only chance I have is to own it.

I said it and it is the truth no matter if it was wise or stupid to say.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

not endorsed.

Well, thank you.

Our party is losing to the federalist because we don't fight worth the damn and I could have attempted to change that.

Actually, no it isn't. Throwing insults and threatening violence does not make you look tough or in charge, it makes you look like a petulant child. Of course, if you just care about feeling good in the moment, that shouldn't concern you, but don't be surprised if people hold you in low esteem as a result.

What would saying I am sorry do for me? People would still hold me in low esteem.

You see I said one stupid thing and it is all over and that night I was stressed out because my wife just got pregnant with my first child and she was spotting making me concern.

Same.

His conduct on here and AFG board, ranging from his use of exclamation points to his lack of sound reasoning when making arguments to his knee jerk bills, suggests an aggressiveness that is not suited to hold office, unfortunately. It's also worth noting out that he only got re-elected in August due to being a PUP member basically; IIRC every public elected official except for Pericles last preferenced him.

Well, you have governed Fremont as a Ted cruz like liberterian clone tarring down most of our liberal policies ranging from fighting global warming to helping the poor. You don't like my bills but I am one of the few members that cared enough to even write any during the 8th commons or care enough to play the game at all.  

You don't like me because you're a right wing hick that is pushing a right wing agenda...You don't like being challenged and are lashing out at me because I had the balls to do so.

I resign from the office because you ________ can have it.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

I made compromise on the carbon bill as he wanted to cut it to 4%.

Pretty sure that you voted for the carbon tax cut, and although I have clearly had my own quarrels with Ye I must say that it's unfair to say that he is pushing a "right wing agenda" just because he is willing to take more moderate stances. Quality legislation takes discussion and often compromise.

Yeah, it's just a tad hypocritical to attack someone for proposing the bill you voted for.

After I fought to modify the thing.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

Right, that's enough. I'm giving you a fair warning as board moderator, Matthew, this aggressive and immature behavior has to stop. I'll be editing out the profanity, and I don't want to see a single further threat implied or not.

I'll stop but one needs to stand up for oneself when they're being attacked. Sorry, but I aint the only one attacking. I'll stop because this shouldn't be happening at all and I didn't want to do it in my campaign thread.

Lumines, it also makes me sick how these people have stabbed Pericles in the back. He is one of the few people that really should have been shown more loyalty.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

I fixed the thread title.

 My message was one of hope but the governor of the south had to attack and I wasn't going to allow that to be unanswered. Why can't people let it go? I erased the thread and I was really stressed out that night.  If anything, I don't understand the hatred directed towards me as I was going to have a cheerful campaign based on bringing people together and solutions. 

Either way it would have been the theme of this thread so I chose to defend myself.
