WagonSpoke/Spike Peace Accord Vote Thread

**SpikedLemonade** · 06-12-11, 07:42 AM

Brethern it is clear to most of us that Wagoncircler and I can not co-exist on The Range. We could try again however the reality is that before long the negative situation would return.

I apologize for any possible stress our interactions may have caused you.

As such, I have given some thought to a permanent solution that will put an end to the friction and enable the board to move forward in a positive manner.

What I propose, if Wagoncircler agrees, is that we end this in very gentlemanly manner quickly and as painlessly as possible.

My peace proposal is very simple:

(1) There be a vote eligible to all Range members (as of June 12th at 8:00 AM) wherein each member posts who they wish to remain on The Range by posting which of Wagoncircler OR SpikeLemonade that they wish to remain on The Range. No reason need be given and in fact it would be more efficient if simply the one name be the entire post. The membership should be able to determine and challenge whether an username is clearly a multiple username of a member by their posting history.

(2) Each member may vote only once and the votes will be tallied by Sunday June 19th at 8:00 AM. I will be busy that day with my 3 adult children as I am sure Wagoncircler and others will be busy with their children since it is Father's Day. Thus, the early voting cut-off deadline. That would be a voting period of one full week which should be plenty of time. Votes after that deadline will not count.

(3) On Monday June 20th at 8:00 AM, we will add up the votes and the non-winner will graciously resign from the Hall of Fame, wish the members of The Range a fond farewell and will never post on The Range again.

I do not wish to type anything here which may be seen as an attempt to sway votes one way or the other. I will not be campaigning for votes. Wagoncircler can choose to do what he wishes. I believe our existing body of work speaks for itself and it is my intention to merely answer questions posted to me publicly and no more.

Mr. Wagoncircler, can I please have your confirmed acceptance of my proposal?

Thank you.

Oh man, I hope the lockout ends soon.

It is a serious attempt towards Range peace. Please do not belittle it.

No, this isn't ****ing Survivor.

Then simply do not exercise your vote.

That is your right.

***pmoon6*** · 06-12-11, 09:28 AM

I must abstain, Spike. I like you both, think both of you are great posters, and if I ever meet either of you in person I would call you friend. I voted for both of you on the first HOF ballot.

There are people I don't like here, but that is the nature of life. You can't get along with everybody. I suggest an alternative solution. Just steer clear of Wagon or put him on ignore. You could also just let the words roll off your back.

**westphal** · 06-12-11, 09:33 AM

This is why they have the ignore function.

What exactly happened the other day, anyway?

**Billsfan2020** · 06-12-11, 09:35 AM

Wouldn't you have a different take Spiked, if your ban was equitable, meaning either both of you or neither of you were banned?

**jdaltroy5** · 06-12-11, 09:42 AM

Both of you guys are colorful and entertaining so I won't be voting.

Just put each other on ignore and call it a day.

Did that.

Stood up against him within TOS.

Got banned.

Enough said.

You can't do that with all posters:

This would be my vote as well. Neither Spiked or Wagon makes the Range any more civil, but it is more interesting.

**Meathead** · 06-12-11, 10:58 AM

wc is a complete and total ass hole. he offers literally nuthin i am interested in. i cant fathom how anyone but the dumbest most cynical douchebags would want to poison their existence by reading let alone enjoying his macho neanderthal bullshit

you, otoh, are a dick but youre a fun and entertaining penis

still, this is a dumb solution and i wont vote. on second thought i will vote, i will vote that you mutually enter each others names into your ignore boxes and move on

***JackKemp*** · 06-12-11, 11:01 AM

Stupid idea. The Range is not meant to be a place to measure one's popularity. All opinions are welcome here and just because we disagree with each other that makes this place better for it. When disagreement becomes a focus that is a problem for me. If this vote happens I will be disappointed in the admins and moderators.

This was my first thought also. I feel there is no reason that 2 first ballot HOFers should come to this.
Some of the shit you guys get into is so ridiculous/immature, even the thread title is a needling shot. You guys are better than this. Like another poster said, y'all should just duckback it, just let it roll off your back.

Be the bigger men.

Well that's garbage. Seems to me concessions could be made for the betterment of the Range. Better here with the both of you.

Please read the threads I linked in response to Westphal.

This is really the only solution.

**BuddyHasNoPlan** · 06-12-11, 11:27 AM

Post this is the politics thread. Don't bring your 5 year old fighting crap to the Bills forum.

Please don't get your hopes up.

A vote for me gets you no where closer to my entertaining penis.

Vote with your conscience and not your mouth.

Please just ignore the thread.

I do most of my posting here although I am welcomed in the PR&S Forum.

I had to put the thread somewhere so I put it here and linked it from there.

half of em didn't work for me. have seen u guys go at it enough to not need to read all of that anyway.
would be disappointing if there wasn't an alternative solution that could be reached.

Some of those threads are gone. What is left seems childish to me and what I expect from PRS. Glad you guys keep that crap there.
