Just read through the OKM thread this apparently refers to. Well, I say read, I just searched for "Payne" in it. Roger's right, I would uestion the title of the thread, but would at least read the OP (if it was still there, anyway).
Now I'm being named in (right at the top) in a thread which is seemingly intended to be criticism of your detractors.
I love it when their fists get flaily and they just go for whoevers there - realistic target or not.

not taking aim at you.
I missed where anything in the thread in question referred to any work of either Payne's or Roger's.
On the other hand, I also missed the part where painting all of PD with a broad brush because you've got beef with one or two posters was a good idea.
Perhaps the two of you (vex and Roger) can pull up your big-boy pants now?
Look, vex, PD has pretty much the same rules as the real world. Make someone mad and you're going to have to deal with it. It doesn't mean you should shrink back into your shell and never say anything because it may turn out badly. It just means you have to, like FCH said, pull up your big-boy pants.

Cain and RWHN are right, this is a great list and it needs to be fleshed out:
9. If you're butthurt, take every step to ensure everyone else knows precisely how butthurt.
10. A group of people not seeing your point is clearly willful misinterpretation of your idea, not your failure to get that idea across.
11. When you make a flounce thread and a bunch of people comment on how they appreciate your contributions, be sure to only focus on the one or two that say otherwise. This sends a great message about how you feel regarding positive dialogue, which reflects well on you.
12. If you shit stir and act like a dipshit, you can take refuge in not having shit stirred and acted like a dipshit before. Logically, if you haven't done it in the past, you're never likely to do it at all.
Rule 24: Always secure your power base. This may involve eliminating those who helped your rise to power.

14. Accuse other people of having sycophantic followings to dogpile on you when you disagree with them.
15. People play dirty here. Deal with it by whining.
16. Respond to every drama thread with something about sucking it up, then fail to do so yourself when you're involved.
17. Choose your words carefully, you need to be very specific about what meaning you'd like to have wildly extrapolated and misinterpreted from them.
18. Flounce. Flounce gloriously. Threaten to flounce, and swear it will be the last time.

98: If an attractive young couple enters my realm, I will carefully monitor their activities. If I find they are happy and affectionate, I will ignore them. However if circumstance have forced them together against their will and they spend all their time bickering and criticizing each other except during the intermittent occasions when they are saving each others' lives at which point there are hints of sexual tension, I will immediately order their execution.

I don't really recall now, but based on Vex's avatar and name being gone, I assume he still is too? And Ghadafi is dead? What a Thursday.
I think Vex got pissed after he spent a thread mocking me for not gleefully participating in the bullshit surrounding Bin Laden's death, then asked me a question in a different one and I told him to fuck off.
I may be wrong. Either way, his absence is not my concern.
And I ask the day Ghadafi allegedly dies... SYNCHRONICITY!!!

Ohhh yeah. That was that one time when we were all supposed to prance around like bloodthirsty Tea Partiers, waving banners, eating candy, and pissing ourselves in glee because of Bin Laden's death, and because some of us had the nerve to have the reasoning power to understand it didn't solve a single fucking thing, a few people got buttsore and fucked off.
