Then put him on ignore. That is what the feature is there for. The claim that the mods should remove regular poster privilages, like rep, because someone dislikes how the poster makes use of them is odious .
That's the thing, though. Rep is one of those privileges, and Flashy has had it revoked in the past for abusing it. You would think he would consider that for just a moment before engaging in those same tactics again. I'm not saying take them, just that if he lost them due to his inability to control himself, it wouldn't surprise me.
Any right minded person should complain about mod abuse. It is not that I look forward to it but it is a public service which should be done to keep you bastards in check.
It's one thing to complain, another to harass. That said, if Flashlight loses a privilege he abuses, then that is the system working as intended.
So, did Fleshlight sleep off his drunk from last night, or did he wake right up, and start pounding the bottle like a baby ba-ba to keep the DTs way?
John, John, John.....you're just never gonna learn, are you? See, the difference between me and you is that I don't operate from a position of pathological insecurity hidden behind a thin veneer of petty authoritarianism. I don't seek to control others. Back in the day, I once got into a rep war with Faceman. Face beat me fair & square and negged me into the red. Did I run around campaigning for Face's repping ability to be removed and act like a schoolgirl who just had her pigtails yanked? Nope. But you.....lulz....you're the very definition of drama queen. I have to admit, I get a hoot out of your school marm act. The condescending language (my rating "privileges" are going to be revoked! What's next, my Xbox time is taken away and I have to go to bed without any supper? ), the haughty, self-righteous attitude as if someone had appointed you Dean of Wordforge. You remind me of this character: No, I'm very much in control of my actions. Truth is, I enjoy poking you with a stick and watching you do this: And I'm gonna keep on doing it.
It's always the same group, too. Flashy, Soma, TLS, Apostle, Federal Farmer, sometimes Dayton when he's feeling particularly jaunty. They have this constant need to prove something. It must come from some kind of inferiority complex. They know they're severely lacking in areas, primarily empathy and compassion, so they engage in this latent misogynistic machismo. They have to be manly men, and they use women as insults. Whether or not it's a put-on, I can't rightly say, as people like them do exist in real life. I can honestly say that while most of them do contribute something to the community, Flashlight does nothing but take away. He engages in a form of moral welfare, where he must take from others in order to find some sense of purpose. Without us, he would wither away into nothingness. Every single post he makes is proof of that.
? You showed your limits already. I've never revealed mine. Let's just say we are not even close to being on the same level. I take you as seriously as I do a dog. Ummmmm.... And it turns you on. If you truly contributed as much as you'd like to believe, I don't think you would've been forced to resign in disgrace.
Elwood had John pegged a long time ago. I bumped the thread that had that classic quote a while back, maybe I can find it again........
John doesn't want to ignore me, he wants to punish me. He wants to grind me beneath his shoes for daring to mock him. And not just me. He wants to punish anyone impudent enough to tell him he's full of shit. Hey John....you're full of shit. Ignoring? Where's the satisfaction in that?
You exist by leeching off of the good nature of others, especially the Admins. You're here because they are fair minded, kind, and patient. They owe you nothing, you certainly deserve nothing, and at the end of the day you give nothing worth consideration. You're the fool good people abide because you're too pitiable to toss out, and too stupid to understand when you're in over your head. So they appease you, to some extent, and punish you like a child when you go too far, and all of this time, they let it slide when you crow about being a real grown-up. You're placated, not respected, and you're patronized, not feared. If you left, no one would care. If you changed, no one would believe it. You simply exist as an example of tolerance.
