Yes, and much worse than that. My dispute with SBM was extremely caustic.
Why do I not still call him out?
Because unlike the trolls on here, when I called him out on the Pop issue after the 5th championship, he had the balls to admit he was wrong.
He owned up to it like a man.
As for the disputes involving SBM and his detractors now, I have read enough of the posts, practically all of them in fact, to be able to make an educated decision on who is at fault here.
At the beginning, I sided with chump, but after many posts of my own trying to get all four (chump, SBM, blake, SA210) of them to chill out I realized they all really liked bashing each other.
I was neutral because I had message board friends on both sides of their issues and there were many issues. Then I was bashed by other trolls for being neutral.
It is always something, as Gilda Radner used to say.
Now I try to steer clear of it whenever possible except in the case with blake, who very few on here like, he continues to troll me and others so I bash him still.
Yet I have offered a truce, but I seriously doubt he wants a truce, he probably just wants to troll.
You ask about SBM. To know all about that you need to read many threads and see where their disagreement stems from in order to understand it. I think both him and chump have lost track after so long at it thus far.
Back in the early years of ST and even before at SR, the trolls then were witty, humorous, creative, intellectual, and rarely if ever demeaning.
Not so these days.
I took no blind eye, I saw both sides, tried to get them both to stop, even go to a GTG, bury the hatchet. I even ratcheted up the criticism of SBM and SA210 for being so ruthless with chump. They explained their case why they were trolling him, even though I still didn't agree with them. Then I turned to chump and tried reasoning with him. I guess he decided I was on their side for doing that and started trolling me too.
It speaks volumes to me that even though I came down hard on all parties involved, the only ones to troll me were chump and his buddies.
Still, I have nothing against chump, and upstairs we still get along quite nicely.
The same will probably be the case with blake and I if he decides he wants a truce.
