You'd think that if you thought he had any respect for Elwood. If you don't make that unjustified presumption and just look at Storm's inability to admit that he did anything wrong and Storm's time and effort spent stoking the fires under Elwood's feet between the time of his threat and the time of his ban, you might not think that he'd bother with pretense.
So, Storm.... I'm sure Elwood really appreciates you making him look like an ass for allowing you come back, that's exactly what you've done.
Only to people who already have a bone to pick or a personal vendetta. When Face returned it was with an agreed upon probationary period. If Storm's return didn't have one then there is no inconsistancy.
If it pleases you to think so, Archangel. Sure, why not? Maybe you should take a break. You take things way too seriously.
Tamar, I know you're friends with him. I usually will cut you some slack because I admire the loyalty. But can you NOT see how bad it looks when he comes in here and does this right off the bat? He's effectively saying, "Fuck you, Elwood. I'll do what I want." Now from an entertainment viewpoint, he's pure gold. But from a mod/admin/owner viewpoint? He's toxic. I'm not saying he has to emasculate himself. But if he had any care for either the board or El (or you, had you stayed on staff), he'd have laid low a bit. Or at least NOT immediately racked up two warnings! It looks bad. In spite of what El thinks, perception is as important at times (note "at times") as reality.
I do believe it was Pthalo Blue Moon I told that to. If I'd been saying it to Elwood I would have complained about the warnings.
It's hard to get worked up about it when he was doing it to someone who was only here to really cause Elwood trouble. Does it make Storm look like an ass? Probably. Maybe I'd care more if I had to right now. But I am rather enjoying not having to be concerned with it.
^ I bet. Must feel great. * * Storm, you might have been saying it to PBM, but it really does look bad right after you came back. Poor Elwood has taken enough crap over the past few weeks, you know?
Actually, I was perusing the recently released Shelter Threads and I was astounded to see many posters with read/post access there but had no mod or admin pips under their names. Frankly, it defeats the purpose of an "Admin Only" forum when you permit non-admins access to read and post on it. It's rather very bizarre to say the least. I strongly urge that that policy be reconsidered.
I'm not seeing it. But then, I'll defer to you Archangel, since you know how much I value your opinion. Seriously. Truly. Deeply.
Doesn't matter, others see it. That's what matters. So feel free to use your condescending tone as long as you like, it won't change reality... And it won't provoke me into flaming you.
**smiles** Took someone long enough to throw that at me. ******YAWN!****** Next? Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Especially where you're concerned. Keep it up and you'll make the place WORSE than TrekBBS. Way to go.
Because in less than 24 hours after being back he garnered two warnings, bragged about having a clean slate, thumbed his nose at the rules and contiues to troll and flame in this thread. Also, I don't recall a whole lot of people complaining about Storms banning, they complained about the questionable bannings of Gul and Crosis.
At what point will it settle in that there's only about five people whose opinions I care about here, and unless you know my real name, you ain't one of them?
Actually, Storm has always been Storm, how he acts here is how I expect him to act. I really believe him when he says there are a few people whose opinions really matter. What that means for the rest of us, meh. It's a message board and not everyone's popular. I would also like to take this moment and appreciate Tamar's avatar. .... ... .. . OK, now back to your regularly scheduled program. -J.
