    OIC Chaos - didn't see that one.

    Whoever DW is, though, it was a masterful troll. Even the Meka War didn't cause this many casualities. :jayzus:

    True enough. At least the Meka War caused the right casualties.

    But as far as I know DW didn't actually post anything that qualifies as damning. Creating another user account at another site certainly shouldn't be a bannable offense, even if you are using it to bitch about this one. Hell, that's why Wordforge EXISTS.

    So even if Gul was DW, I don't see a reason there for a ban.

    And of course that wasn't the reason given - Elwood specifically said Gul was banned because of post #122 - and that post was Gul saying that you have to be a low level piece of shit (paraphrasing) to use personal information against someone at work, and that if someone did it to him he stated that there'd be collateral damage - intimating that he'd do the same.

    Personally I've been in the same boat. Someone did threaten to use the fact that I was posting at work to try to get me into trouble with my employer back over at Big Blue - my response was to go OK, look up the individual, call him at home and tell him to cut it the fuck out.

    If I told someone that I would do that here I'd get banned?

    WTF?

    Seems to me Gul was banned not for anything he did but because of personal politics. Been seeing WAAAAAY to much of that lately.

    Not really.

    Just think about it for a second.

    Storm threatens gul...and gul threatens...not Storm...but Listkeeper. Someone totally unrelated to all of it.

    It's enough to make someone think that gul had a hardon for Listkeeper, dare I say even an obsession... :?:

    For what it's worth, I have seen nothing that would lead me to believe that any mods were in on Storm's stunt.

    And you won't, since divulging PM's is bannable. That's part of the beauty of it.

    Ah, I see.

    You "want proof". But you also know that in order to have proof is to go against the rules.

    So you get to continue pointing fingers.

    I sent the original to Nick.

    And there were mods, and former mods, on it. Many, in fact.

    So for Nick to deny it...well...I'm not sure what should be done about that.

    That PM? Well he said just PM, I didn't know which PM has been passed around like a two dollar whore, or which PM he wanted to see the recipient list of, seeing how Storm made his public as well.

    If by "passed around" you mean sent to you, Elwood, Mrs. Albert, Bailey, and thelurker by me personally, then yeah, I guess it has been.

    I think it's kind of sad, though, that you're still spouting off that none of the mods knew any more about this than any of the posters, and claiming gul had no reason to go after Bear, when CLEARLY you have to know that isn't true.

    Sigh. And now I have to go to my last class for the summer, so if I don't respond quickly, that's why.

    ^ Gul was. Three years ago, when he acted like an adult instead of a 13 year old sociopath :shrug:

    So this is where Storm "supposedly" threatens Gul.

    http://www.wordforge.net/showpost.php?p=1277179&postcount=161

    And this being where Gul "supposedly" threatened someone, who yes has been a little bitch as a mod lately, but is "unrelated" (as far as I know if you know something please do tell :soholy:) to this situation between storm and gul.

    http://www.wordforge.net/showpost.php?p=1276414&postcount=112

    Does this help in any way?

    I think what he means is that any mod on the recipient list is automatically guilty of being in on it. :shrug:

    Yeah, of course you're going to say that. But what you have to say, considering who you are, should be automatically dismissed as biased.

    Storm's smart enough to know how the PM system works. If the names are on there, it's because he wanted them to be. He trolled you, and you took the bait, hook, line, and sinker.
