Ok, it appears that Modsquad AND Yoss like to harrass the daylights out of me.
I am a reasonable person, and will respect the masses.
If Patton is such disturbance to this forum, Patton will cease to exist.
I will leave this poll open for a period of two weeks.
Sock it to me folks, this is your opportunity to bash me. I am allowing it, within the guidelines of the forum (no vulgarity) of course.
Edited to hold up my end of the bargain. Thank you MS

There's no reason for you to go anywhere, but I do agree with Yoss that, from my point of view, it appeared there have been several members you followed through threads to antagonize. Again, that was my perception, and again, that's no reason to leave the forum.

I voted for you to stay. But, I've stated before that I would like to see you post your opinion on the topic, not your opinion on someone else on the forums. I wonder, sometimes, if you just like this forum to antagonize..... you know, play devil's advocate. That's fine, if it is to stir up more discussion about the topic, but many times, it's just about someone on here.
Give us your ideas, Patton. You have a lot of world experience being over seas in Iraq and Germany etc. Let's hear about your viewpoint on Bush, Iraq, whatever. You may have insights into things that none of us would have considered.
I don't know much about you or your viewpoint because most of the time, you come across as being disgruntled toward someone else. Just let it go and roll off your back. Stick to the topic and your ideas and you can't go wrong!! I would like you to stay.

Stay.
You're an obnoxious so-and-so sometimes, so what, aren't we all (with the exception of Checks, she's damned near perfect in my eyes).
You do, my dear, sometimes remind me of BigMouthInCounty, spouting your Christian hard-line opinion, but if you didn't put your religious ideals/ideas out there, you wouldn't be "testifying", and I'd lose respect for your faith in action.
Besides, I can't resist a man in uniform, or OUT of uniform for that matter.
Stay.

Ahhhhhhhh, pls take me off the pedestal!! I would probably topple it over anyway with my size. Ask Dragon!

I got plenty of faults. I could name 'em all and then some, but I'm not worth all that effort!
I don't got any wings, sorry!! Just luv ♥ you guys..... Patton too, even when he's crotchedy!!

Heck, I say stay. When you don't play "devils advocate", you add a lot of intelligent content to this forum. Your thoughtful posts are interesting reading, and often provide a whole 'nother side to things.
but when you reply solely with an eyeroll, or some smart ass comment, and don't back up your sarcasm, it's just annoying.
A true "devils advocate" backs up his words with facts and intelligent discussion, not sarcastic eyerolls and inane comments.
I don't have anything against you Patton. When you show your intelligent side.

Man you gotta stay. Who is going to keep these people in line when they need it?

You have a lot of savy Patton. This place would go to sleep without a member like you. If you go I go. Some people don`t like my spelling and the wise cracks I put out. So what. It`s a forum not a business. You say what is on your mind at the time. The Mods need to back off and not be so tight with the views of others.

In the online world of video games, when people ask if they should leave/quit they usually just want attention. If you feel you are being attacked and it is upsetting you, you should go. Our opinions should not matter, it's what you want to do that's important. If people on here are bothering you it may make you happier to leave. But if you enjoy the forums then you should definitely stay! I don't know the situation so I don't feel able to vote. I say you should do what makes you happy

Thank you for your input Ith, it is appreciated.
I am not suffering from attention deficit, quite the contrary, I wish certain members/mods would leave me be.
So far it appears as though I will be staying, which is what I prefer.

After thinking about it some more, I think Patton should leave. You see, he once told me about a friend of his that resembled a Mexican Peter Griffin (yes that Peter, of Family Guy fame) and promised me a photo, but never delivered. You just can't go around making claims like that, then pulling the rug out from under a Family Guy fan, such as me.

Patton, as the relative newbie, I wonder if I should venture into this or not, but here it goes. I say you should stay. I’ve always looked forward to your take on new topics and I respect the fact that you don’t pull any punches. Yeah, I don’t always agree with your opinions, but at least you don’t waver or flip-flop around, and I’ve rally had no issues with you since I joined. I lurked here for years before joining this site, and when I did join, I promised myself two things. One, there are a few people on here that I am going to stay away from and avoid at all costs because the drama they seem to cause is something I left behind me in High School, and I just don’t think we’ll ever see eye to eye on much of anything. The other was if I find that someone is just trying to antagonize me, I’ll take the high road, ignore them and move on, and let them have the kindergarten fun. I guess my advice is STAY, if you feel Yoss and MS or whoever are antagonizing you, ignore them and move on. Yes, I realize that may be easier said then done, but so far my time here has been fun.
