    STOOL-PIDGEONS!

    I think, in the interest of entertainment, we shouldn't know who was chosen for these lucrative positions.

    I just want to point out that "Stallion" is an [anagram] for both "Lo, Stalin", and "Ol' Stalin." As an undead communist butcher, I demand that he be banned.

    Oh, and rum is yum.

    What the hell is the point of this "observer" crap?

    If the mods think that they may be going wrong on something, or that there are a series of complaints on a topic, then run a fucking poll.

    It's just a message board...and there are already too many chiefs who do very little. I fail to see what possible benefit an "observer" could bring.

    You're full of shit, and people like you are exactly why folks like Cass called anyone who complained about the board trolls. You don't give two fucks about improving the board, you just want to shit and jizz everywhere.

    I admit I felt bad about you and your wife getting trolled, but this stupid crap isn't making anyone sympathetic for you.

    Anna your quote is most interesting. However, when I said "start a poll" I meant, if there is an issue the mods want discussed then do so. It did not mean do fuck all until one of the mods starts getting upset because he is getting questioned and then start a knee-jerk poll as a result.

    I would expect that if the mods were actually paying attention then poll swould not be slely reactionary.

    It takes more than one person to improve. Despite iot not being the reason I came back, the only reason I havw not yet left again is that I do actually see more balance to the board, which in itself is an improvement.

    As for what Cass used to say, she was the biggest troll this board has ever had. It's laugahble you quote her to me as a gold standard. Unless you believed the invented persona she (or he) invented and used to troll.
    Oh you felt bad did you? That would explain why you were one of the silent many who said nothing against it at the time then. Nice to now have you feigned concerned after it finally died down after several years.

    C'mon bub, Anna made it plain, your statements contradicted each other.

    Why the anger toward mods? You were a mod, you know mods are but members who volunteered to sort the occasional thread, correct a thread title, ban bots, and every now and then issue a warning.

    Plenty of folks had/have sympathy for your situation. Myself included. And I've no reason to doubt Anna's sincerity.

    I think anger is a bit strong a word matey. :lol:

    I do however, wonder why mods parade around in a manner that I was told was not right in the days I was a mod.

    Perhaps then you will tell me why she was strangely silent with this "trolling" was going on.

    I don't parade. :bergman:

    Besides, rehashing the details of your mod experience doesn't exactly make for interesting reading.

    I think there is a difference between going over the reasons for my "sacking" and the things I was told was the standard to operate by. I am doing the latter, not the former.

    Interesting that you avoided the other question btw. :yes:

    I don't know that she was strangely silent nor is that an indication that she supported said trolling.

    Besides you don't need help defending against the slings and arrows of BBS trolling, you are well familiar with the ins and outs of sharing personal information on Wordforge.

    There is a difference between sharing personal info in the Blue Room and then having it used to troll you with racism for several years on end to simply making a rod for your own back. Anyhow, I'm not going over that again. Point is that only now that the board is more split and diverse are people crawling out of the woodwork to say "oh yes, we thought it was out of order"!

    Well fuck you. There are a few here who stuck by me throughout and they are remembered. The rest of you can fuck off. I have no time for your latter day righteousness. I had been on this board for fucking years and I didn't expect people to allow overt racism against a family member to go allowed for years on end. Nobody else here has had to put up with that.

    So the deal is now that I don't care anymore what people think. I will say and do as I like (provided it is within the rules) and I don't give a flying fuck whether or not some righteous wankers suddenly take the moral high ground when it suits them. Morality should be a constant if you believe in it. Not a convenience.

    Oh, and I don't appreciate being trolled by PM either Clyde. Very clever. PMs can't be revealed by us schmoes can they. so you can troll the shit out of me unhinged. Not cool. Really not cool.

    Good on you.


    You were not trolled by PM, and PMs can be revealed so long as both parties involved consent.

    I consent. Feel free to share the last two PMs I sent you.

    Clyde does that. I've had silly PM's from him and Bailey in the past. I think they went to the same school for silly mod actions.

    It's blatant trolling.

    It's a PM that is unrequested and it is sent so that at some point down the line he can act like a spotless little shit by going "I asked him what was wrong (which he actually hasn't) and he didn't say anything".

    Wankery at it's finest.

    Had I asked for him to PM me to answer any questions then fair enough. Did I do that? Um, no. I did not. It's sarcasm and manipulation for arse covering purposes.
