    And he goes on and on and on and on and on...

    Did that guy do anything but :drama: since he returned? Is there even one unrelated post?

    He sure does like whinging. (incidentally does that word not exist in America? I once had to prove to Chewie that it was a real word)

    At least with other posters it does genuinely seem like they are interested in protecting the Wordforge they like, markb just seems to like stirring trouble.

    I'm sure he'll get bored eventually.

    Over here it's spelled whining. The extra g throws us off.

    Oh, we have the word whining as well.

    Whining and whinging are almost the same, but ever so slightly different in use. :)

    We don't have whinging. Gets the squiggly red underline in the spell-checker. :bergman:

    Can an admin maybe post the percentage of his posts he made in the HD and/or drama threads? I think that number could be interesting.

    Please.

    So he's whining. Or whinging. Big fat hairy deal. Doing anything about it plays into his troll, so let's not. Just let it die of its own accord.

    Yes, that's generally been a good thing in the past weeks. My bloodshed would have been way greater.

    [-]I'm thinking of fucking off for a few weeks. Yea, I think that's what I will do. Ciao for now :lookatme:[/-]

    Aw fuck it. It's not the first shitstorm and it won't be the last.

    Of course Mark getting warned and Aurora getting the eternal pass to troll in the Help Desk doesn't help.

    And you know darn well you poke at the people who are complaining and bait them into flaming, Cass.

    I think it's disappointing that basically what is going to happen is nothing. A few people stir shit to stir shit, but this many people being dissatisfied says that something isn't right and it seems all that is going to be done about it is nothing, hope for it to go away and let the slow burn continue under the surface.

    While I agree with the decision to not de-mod people if they decide to engage in rep wars, they do have a valid point that out of all the changes that could have been made doing that and that alone was definitely not the smoothest move.

    Jesus Christ. It's a message board. A lot of fun with my girl and soon to be step-children and some real life drama, involving life in death, that I touched today really put this place in perspective.

    You say "something isn't right" and that I "hope for it to go away and let the slow burn..." Jesus! It's a message board! Some of you are very valuable to me as friends, but this place isn't that damn important. I think we all need to come to grasps with that ASAP.

    Edit: I think what sealed the deal for me was yesterday, when I could have checked in, but didn't because I didn't want to deal with the bullshit and because I knew that if I did, I'd end up spending precious time here that could have, should have been spent doing something fun.

    Since when is saying the obvious 'trolling'. You really think that Mark has legitimate concerns!? Just because he shouts trolling when his bullshit is confronted and it's about me you don't have to bite like an automaton.

    Jesus, woman. Start thinking for yourself.

    I know exactly what Mark is doing. And so do you.

    And maybe you don't mean to...but the way you word stuff in there looks and sounds like you're trolling for his over-reaction.

    I've called him out on it in public, in return I got a couple of pm's asking what my problem with him is and now convinced I am out to get him because he gave me a negrep a few days ago. (!?)

    I believe Nick spoke with him on the telephone for more than an hour. Listening to his concerns and voicing agreement with many of them. I talked to him privately via IRC query for an hour or so this past Monday evening. I listened to his concerns and voiced agreement with many of them. In fact, he was going to send me a PM detailing his gripes so I could respond to them as a whole instead of the back and forth of IRC.

    To date, he has not done so, but he has continued to rail against the board and it's staff.

    I think the conversation with me would be shorter.

    'Hi, it's Mark. I'd like to discuss WF policies with you.'

    He gave me his cell number, but nobody gets my number anymore. I've learned my lesson. Outside of those whom I already trust, I trust no one else until I shake their hand.

    As for me, I don't care what happens with my cell phone number too much.

    If anyone gets it that I don't want and starts harassing me, I just get a new number. :shrug:

    Actually, my point is that you're giving in to him and accept his bullshit by listening to him even off the board. When did he become WF's union leader again?

    Like I said, I know exactly what Mark is up to...but giving him more ammo in the HD doesn't make it better, Cass.
