How can we end forum beef?

Getting laid would be so much easier if I were gay. Gay men only need a gym and Grindr. If all it took to get laid with 18yo cuties was to not overeat and fire up Tinder, then the forum would not exist.
From what I understood it was Aliblabla - one of his last posts being the rainbow flag being raised by soldiers.

How can we end forum beef?

I HAD a beef with long time forum member Fisto aka his new handle Duke Castile.
We had an argument in one of the politics threads (shocking, I know). I immediately realized I was over the top and PM'd the guy and requested we move on as men. He PM'd me back quickly and agreed. Since then, we have had many good conversations and as a matter of fact, he has even helped me be more positive. I'm looking forward to even meeting him soon.
Now, is this possible with everyone? I don't think so. It takes a certain constitution to step back, provide respect and move on as men. It's the hallmark of men that are red pill. I tried this with another forum member that I have had many arguments with. Not only did he NOT PM me back, but he made a sneaky post in a thread later implying that I PM'd him and threw in the towel. Like I said, some men are not socially capable of ending a beef like the few are.
Now, am I going to extend this courtesy to everyone that I have a beef with? Nah. It's easy to tell if someone deserves harsh treatment versus respect.

Have you met Ali?
You want to know the only thing you can assume about a broken down old man? It's that he's a survivor.

Ali-B is one of the straightest men to have ever walked the planet.

I have no trouble admitting if I was wrong. And I met some members, others who know the members I met personally. And again - it's a double standard here again when Gmanifesto or Excelsior met zero.

< Yeah - I thought that I would have to re-meet those guys, but this time offer a stool sample as well. And the funny part is that - oh shocker - we did not talk politics at all, because the city was filled with lots of pretty girls, we were just having a good time and drinking beer. And I seriously don't care about race or tribe or even religion on an individual scale, the mass scale is something else in a given country, but I regularly don't meet up with 500.000 guys for beer or Cologne New Year celebrations.

I'll add an addendum onto my previous post that another point of contention amongst the membership these days is reputation, vetting, and how it relates to credibility.
It seems now more than ever a lot of older members put a great deal of emphasis on people who can be vouched for and have met other trustworthy members in real life. This sort of goes back to my point about how this community was originally built out of being a place of action. Men going out, doing things, meeting with eachother, and reporting back. A lot of the older crowd has a real "put your money where your mouth is" mentality. In their eyes, if you won't meet anyone then you clearly have something to hide that you don't want people here knowing about, and the primary suspicion being that you don't actually walk the walk.
Once again, this goes back to the armchair discussion types vs the mover and shaker types.
The rep thing has been an argument going on years now. I don't see that changing.

< You should not take things personally if I was wrong about Ali. You put it straight and that was it and I said so, but you had to continue attacking me personally.
And I think that my "running for office" would coincide more with your monarchism - albeit more a meritocratic benevolent dictatorship with a meritocratic psychopath-screening succession system. But I doubt if anyone is running for office here - except for Jean Valjean and he has multiple screws loose.

No one has stepped forward to this day so again as I said I doubt it.
Secondly Excelsior has offered to meet members privately and people know where he's at.
But he's private about it and holds to his own. It's why we've never bashed on him for it/brought it up about him.
You on the other hand have taken no such initiative.
I have my own fucking reasons for doing what I do. Part of it is that I travel sometimes 80% of my time. I met with Bojangles and ThisisTrouble, they seldom post now. Teedub knows Bojangles.
I am no under legal obligation to meet up with anyone because you want to "back up my claims". And what claims are those? When I am wrong about Aliblabla, then fine - I'll admit it. But I am not concocting grand stories of conquest and wizard piloting - as I said - I am mostly a truth seeker wherever that may lead him. Try to fucking refute me on the issues instead of attacking me personally - also on issues you are wrong, but will likely claim otherwise in the next post.
Funny that you go into beef in a beef thread over some tangent comment I made - fine you address the issue, then instantly go personal.
It's just an odd claim to make about a well reputed, albeit former member.
Especially without having ever met the guy.
And for the record I don't like Ali and we don't talk anymore.
