    You've done some good work, despite having the debilitating ailment of Faggotosis.

    You'll be missed!

    He'll be back. Him and Tamar are staples of the staff, irregardless of anything else.

    That said, if he DOESN'T come back, we're gonna have to steal Geordi to make the board go.

    It was a bad situation all around, made worse by ego and incompetence. What scares me is the uninterest that people have because one party is their friend and the other someone they otherwise disliked.

    Is this like the 7th time he's quit? Last time it was because we trolled him. He always crawls back though. It's pretty lame that we let this cry baby have any "authority" on WF.

    I think, regardless, he's a pussy for constantly quitting and coming back. Maybe he'll grow some balls and stay away for good.

    Well he definitely shouldn't break the board during a temper tantrum like he just did.

    I don't. Everyone knows that if you make a non-RR thread in the RR you have to do it in such a way as to keep in the RR. Nick didn't do that, and his thread got moved to the room it needed to be in. He threw a hissy fit and moved it back, bitching at Clyde in public in the process. Clyde moved it back, and Nick quit in protest.

    What am I supposed to be upset about here? :huh: If I'm just not seeing it tell me, b/c I love a modbrawl in Bitching and Moaning. :diablo:

    [action=Tex]is watching Evil Dead 2[/action]

    I'm at the part where Ash has to make the difficult decision to cut off his possessed hand and I'm reminded of what Elwood must do in this situation...

    Possibly, but was he right in general or right just for himself?

    Nick said this:

    So Nick wanted a Media Central subject with Red Room style. That's fine if regular posters can order up the same combination on demand. If not, it's problematic.

    Lies.

    Elwood should ban you, just like he banned Borgs after stealing WF from him. :bergman:

    Well we can't do the same. Flashlight used to do this on a weekly basis.

    I would submit that he was initially in the right. He fucked up the instant he used Wonder-Admin Powers to overrule a moderator instead of handling it like any other poster that gets screwed by Clyde's penchant for moving threads (or his penchant for date-rape pills and sodomy).

    Which they can not. Ask Flashlight for example.

    Nick didn't appreciate being held to the same standard as everyone else and wrongly undermined Clyde in the process of forcing his own way simply because, unlike anyone else, he had the tools to.

    Once there was a disagreement, another staff member should have been asked to mediate the situation...painful past experience should dictate that. You don't make a pissing match and threats over it.

    Clyde shouldn't be overiding Admin level personnel's actions to begin with.

    Isn't JUSTLEE doing the same thing right now, with his Torchwood thread?




    EDIT:Oh, I just noticed it got moved too. So, forget I said anything.

    So Clyde moving my thread didn't undermine me?

    Nick's a tech admin.

    So technically, a retarded monkey could overrider him.

    He undermined you breaking a rule. Is that not a mod's job in spades?

    If I'm an admin, isn't everything an admin decision?
