If I may interject, as a 3rd party who hasn't been around the last couple of days.

I'm not crazy about you for your obsessive need to pick arguments over every little thing, nitpicking at things that should have long ago died.
Corky doesn't really seem like the guy who would try to get into arguments, nor nitpick. He may have done it in the last couple of days, but not before then. He's always seemed like an average, upstanding individual.
Wait, so you can put down and insult every other person?
No, he hasn't insulted anyone who hasn't deserved it. Granted, sometimes he takes it too far, but he only puts down those who are assholes or douchebags. He has really gotten his anger under control since about this time last year.
Man you look for an argument with ever other post you make.
No, he's one of the best members of the NGDD, EGB, and various other clubs. Sure, he's got a temper and he's arrogant, but he doesn't try to get into fights. He's incredibly helpful most of the time.
We agree to disagree, yes. BUT I am still in charge of this thread and I'm trying to make a more user friendly place, attract new members that will benefit us. You can continue chucking your insults at me anywhere you please, except for at this thread, because here we are trying to be a united club, about Newgrounds.
You try to make this a friendly place? Is that a joke? Like I said if a new user were to come in here and see this a friendly place and see their all mighty leader Phantom putting every single person down they probably wouldn't join.
Or they see douche bags like you who take insignificant problems and blow them up. Look, I know that Phantom can be an asshole sometimes, but he's a nice guy most of the time, and is funny when you're not in the way of his rants. He could have gone old school on your ass and just hollowed you out so he can have another place to piss, but he showed restraint and didn't.
Every user that comes in here are either going to like it here, or not. If they don't see anything wrong with a heated debate like this, then let them stay. But if they complain about it, then let them leave. No one in this club has the power to kick Phantom out; he's been here forever, and has accrued so much respect and power that it would take some one cutting his internet line to stop him from coming here. Like it or not, Phantom's here to stay, with all of his baggage. Either tolerate or gtfo.
Like I said to APF last night, I know a lot of people who would be good member and won't join because of you.
Well that's unfortunate. But like I said, if they don't like Phantom, they won't join. Phantom is a permanent fixture around here.
People that actually might do something with this club since we don't do anything. We don't do anything at all. You guys keep saying your going to do something, but thats what the last 20 pages or so consisted of. Just talking the talk and not walking the walk.
You could do something too. I've run a contest. The first one of the new NGDD. That contest was a bitch to do. There was so much work involved, and I did it all because I love the NGDD. If you want to do a contest or anything, go for it. Put the time and effort in. If you do, your level of respect from me will raise from "average" to "he's a great guy". I know that may not mean a lot to you, but I can jump in an argument like this and say "hey, Corky's done some shit for the NGDD". It'll fit somewhere.
You however carry on with your spam arguments, the claymation arguments, the "Phantom's a power hungry meanie" arguments and it's getting old.
Well, the claymation arguments were legit. A bit petty, but legit. It's a serious question, and if we feel that it shouldn't be part of NG, then we might be able to convince Tom to not let them be posted.
So as the person currently in charge of this club, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
I'm afraid your name will be moved to the discharged list, nothing dishonorable; nothing insulting, but since we are in disagreement you'll just have to go.
That's a bit harsh. The kid was just voicing his opinion of you. Sure, he's been a douche recently, but he's been a good member both here and in the EGB. He at least has the right to a second chance.
Again, where was this disagreement? I suggested things to help and then all you do is talk about Mr. Sprite and how you don't want me to be a part of this club.
From what I've read, you've been dishing out some shots at Phantom, like saying stuff like:
"that the post that Phantom made was the first witty or funny post that he has ever made when flaming somebody"
"I don't know if I would appreciate being called a man if I was female"
"you are the guy that is so insecure and so upset about how bad his real life is that he takes it out in a fake world such as the internet where he can be anyone he wants to be"
(when talking about Phantom refuting Cordy's buddy)"Yes actually I do. It's hard to compare to your life I know"
And that's all from just the last page. So as far as I see it, you're in the wrong. You insulted Phantom first, and he retaliated.
Oh boy real friendly huh.
You're just as friendly as he is.
Oh well, I didn't think you could take the heat when someone talked back to you and you proved it here.
No, he was insulted and retaliated in a professional manner. Saying stuff like "You need to change the way you do (insert task here)" would be talking back to him. What you did was insult him.
Ever notice this place was running perfectly fine when you weren't around man?
It was running fine when he wasn't around. Of course, we had our original leadeship, a smaller, more mature group, and overall better members. So yeah, it was good when Phantom wouldn't be around for a time, because he wasn't in charge of everything, and we had members that would do stuff.
Hell, after 2 months under APF, this club was beginning to crumble. Not that he's a bad leader, but after the initial spike, the club just kept slipping downhill like it was before APF came back.
People wanted to join every other day and the club was actually accomplishing something.
People were joining more when Phantom wasn't around because new members are intimadated by people who have 4515646513614 combined stats. I was when I joined.
As for accomplishing stuff, we never really do that. We're more of a social club that points out the things that are wrong with NG.
Me being honest and explaining your life the way it really is?
You may have been explaining his life the way it really is, but I'm sure Phantom knows that. He's dealt with depression, so I'm sure he knows about his life pretty well. He doesn't need you to tell him.

You know, that's been happening to me for ages... maybe it started when the redesign launched in...? Also, here's an NGDD sig - so, Phantom, what do you say?
I don't really like the font used on the "department of defense", but other than that, it looks awesome.
