You protect and hide those you like and well...those you don't. But hey...abusing your admin powers is OK when it's for a good cause, right? What's it matter when a few of those who agree with you ideologically feed your ego. Like I said previously, not having posted in a few years has given me plenty of time to observe everyone here, that also does include you. And yes, I know exactly how this will play out from here.
Actually, there are quite a few of us who like and trust Tamar. I dare say we are significantly more numerous than those who don't.
Did you notice the word "Some" in the title? But I just had a blinding flash of the obvious why I immediately got on her bad side. I called out her pet.
Didn't see it either. But imagined criticisms are always the best kind. They can't be refuted, since they exist only in the head of the person making that criticism.
Unless they are friends of yours. How many times has a dual been posting and when people ask who it is you come in and basically say you know who, but then don't tell. And yes, you have pets. You are just insulting everyone when you deny it. You're the last type of person who really needs power on a forum because you honestly think everyone is a moron but you...honestly...you're not very different from Garamet in that fashion. You really do think you're the smartest person in the room. But I know I'll be roundly flamed by your circle of sycophants...pretty much all of which agree with you ideologically.
Dude, quit your fucking whining. You know where the door is. You think you've got it rough? You haven't gone through a fraction of the shit this board has put me through, Junior. If you can't take it, get the fuck out.
Duals are identified all the time. Honestly, I've never gotten that vibe. Nah, you'll be fine. Unless of course, you're a dual!
Wait, who the fuck's this guy? At only 22 posts and levying criticism at Tamar already, I pronounce Dual Until Proven Otherwise
If Tamar thinks this, then she's out of her mind. I am the smartest person in the room, as anyone with half a brain can clearly see. Those who can't see such an obvious Truth simply show that they sure aren't in the running for "smartest person in the room"! Just try arguing your way out of that one, those of you with inferior intellects who don't agree!
Some of the criticism in this thread is simply too aggressive - burning the mountain too high, if you will. I understand where it is coming from though. I like Tamar, but like us all she has bias.
I *cough* have to say *ugh* that I agree with apostle. Not seeing the drama on this one. But if people are gonna pretend that Tamar hasn't spend years implementing a policy of overt favoritism towards certain member, at the expense of others, then they've been living in cloud cuckoo land. But then those on the good side of the equation wouldn't be inclined to have a problem with it, would they? It's why this idea of a never-changing mod-ships on boards, and I'm not just thinking of this one alone, turns these places into unpalatable clique zones. Balance and objectivity go out of the window after a while, and all that's left in it's place is either be a brown noser or one of the unpopular people. I can't think of anything worse than to be an obsequious brown noser.
Yeah, I've got to agree with apostle as well. Welcome back, Archie. I hope you stick around, if you can avoid getting sucked into the some old drama.
I have no idea. I also didn't take part in the decision-making when he got himself in trouble. I never "protected" anyone despite the accusations tossed at me.
I agree with Chup. The problem is not so much a very human and essentially inevitable bias, but the absence of realisation and balances to correct for it.
