Welcome to PSX2 Central Forums. We use the vBB forum here, so users familiar with this kind of forum should feel right at home:) Please don\'t abuse the boards. We are trying to stray from rules, so just use common sense when posting messages. Have fun!


One could very easily make the arguement that his posting in this and other topics was not using common sense.  One could also argue that he has abused the boards with some of his actions.

I also NEVER feel the need to apologize for stupid stuff I said/did when I was 12 or 13.  I did a lot of stupid stuff, and if I told someone about something, and they were offended, I would probably just say something to the order of "yeah, I was an immature kid when I was 12"... something along the lines of what he wrote.

It\'s too bad you think that having a different viewpoint from most people is "wrong" and should be apologized for, because most people have at least a few issues that they won\'t be in the majority\'s viewpoint for.


There\'s a difference. You\'re talking about arguing with somebody about politics. Vivi has blatantly given disreguard to people\'s family members, and a horribly debilitating disease. This isn\'t a viewpoint, it\'s the audacity to laugh at the disease and people who have it. I don\'t know if you\'re trying to play Devils Advocate here or not, and I never said that Vivi SHOULD be banned, but I feel that he was out of line with his comments.

What do Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, Matt Clement, and Carlos Zambrano have in common?

They\'re the pieces to the next great pitching rotation of our time, what else?

GO CUBS!

It\'s not even just this thread.  One thing can easily be forgotten.  He has a history of doing stuff like this.

1) Yeah, I am playing devil\'s advocate a bit here. :evil:

2) He hasn\'t actually said anything in this thread disrespectful towards cancer, or the disease.  Just the opposite, he has stated that he knows how tough it is.  People are mad because they don\'t like his reaction to a situation that occured back when he was in grade 6, where he did something insensitive.  The fact that he won\'t apologize for it is making people angry, but he isn\'t saying anything funny about cancer, or saying it \'isn\'t important\', and his refusal to apologize for something stupid he did way back when is a personal choice, and one I don\'t disagree with.  There are a lot of immature grade six kids out there, go and talk to some.  Most kids just don\'t have a fully matured moral compass at that age, and as such we don\'t hold them fully accountable for their stupid actions.  :confused:
