Sell the rocks on craigslist, or change your signiture to say "ive got live rock FS, PM me!"
Reef Frontiers isnt making you throw away live rock, thats an immature response if you ask me.
Brett,
So after seeing all of this discussion above and having read MtDewMn's posts.....
Why would you even think about suggesting a way around the rules???
Do you stay awake at night and think of ways to stir controversy, or is just an amazing talent of yours?

Boy maxx I'd love nothing more than to jump all over you with your drive by quips and all, but I will refrain. Youve had it in for me for long time, and I bet you'd love nothing more than to have me pop off and get banned.
Not gonna do that this time.
Feel free to re-read my post. I wasn't posting for the purpose of giving him advice on how to beat the system. In fact I told him to take it to craigslist and that his rant was kinda immature. I didn't realize that changing a signature would violate terms, but by the conviction before trail I guess your feelings for me are the same.
Don't bring your "let's take these disputes up privately via PM" either. You take shots at me in public, I'll defend myself the same way.
It's too bad a mod cannot be added to my ignore list.
Brett,
If I had it in for you, you'd have been gone a long time ago.
Believe it or not, I've actually defended you a time or two in the Mod forums. I've gone ahead and quoted your initial post in to my response here, so feel free to re-read it yourself.
Take your emotions out this discussion, objectively re-read your post, and coldly, rationally explain to me how your statement about changing his signature to state that he has liverock for sale and to pm him for details should not be taken as a blatant end run on what MtDewMn just said? Coming from an active member here who has more than 3k posts, how do you think that looks?
I'm not the only one who took it that way either...
Kinda got a point there..
I apologize for being so blunt in asking if you lay awake at night thinking of new ways to stir controversy, that was a bit much. However, you do seem to have an amazing talent for being at the center of ALOT of controversy here. Most of the issues you have here stem from you not thinking about how your comments might sound to others....like your first one here in this thread.
You're not being convicted pre-trial, you were called on a thoughtless comment. Nothing more.
I cant recall a single time I've ever told you to take a disagreement involving me private. Making the post that I did, I fully expected you to respond in public, and I certainly dont blame you for it. I dont make drive by quips and then hide behind the Mod mantle and tell you to take things privately. Thats not my style. You made a public comment, so it had to be addressed publicly. I may very well have told you to take a disagreement with another member to PM, but never with me or with another mod....you must be confusing me with someone else.
With regards to ignoring me.....here's a real simple way to avoid me bothering you:
Stop and think about what you post, before you post it. If whatever you're posting can be reasonably interpreted as non hostile or not intentionally violating the terms of service as stated in the User's Agreement, you and I arent going to have any problems.
I'm more than happy to state that a particular post wasnt intended as someone took it or could have been misunderstood by the reader. Feel free to ask any of the other Mods or Admin for verification on this.
However, if you make a statement that can only be reasonably interpreted as hostile or violating the terms of service per the UA....then we, (the Mods & Admin) step in.
So respectfully, if you're feeling persecuted, or put upon by the Mods & Admin...then I suggest you think about what you say or how you say it here on the board.
Nick
