Apparently, I best be watchin' mah step, boss.

[John Shaw]

And no, I am not threatening to fucking ban you.

I find the situation unbearable. BonerJoe and John Shaw both openly threatened me on this very thread.

You're a lying asshole or can't read. Pick one.

[Bill Brasky]

Laetitia, John is right.
It never occurred to me that I was collectivising. I am sorry for any undeserving parties I may have insulted.
I just don't dig all the little warnings from John Shaw, Bonerjoe, and Bill Brasky. Communicating this is evidently wrong on this board, Even though I thought I was pretty strict on myself with the board rules.
I find the situation unbearable. BonerJoe and John Shaw both openly threatened me on this very thread.
I submit to their toughness and am most humbly impressed.
I have a few loose ends to tie up. After that I'll cancel my support for FTL and leave.

There is no "we".  I think I've made that abundantly clear over the last six years.  I know a lot of people here LOVE to use the royal "WE".  I despise it.  It smacks of collectivist mindset, and to me is a pretty heinous assumption that others can speak for my opinions. 

But I guess that's what happens in a community where many people believe the group is like an organism devoid of individuality, and embraces a quasi-socialist structure.  (despite the lip-service given to individual rights, sexual freedom, and economic freedom).

You have to remember, on the flip-side of the "WE" coin, there is always a "THEY".  And people who freely use "they" are people I like to avoid.

I think its equal portions of both, peppered with histrionics.

I'm not gettin this - you wanted Dragline back so he could get on with his poking at folks.

Boner lets him back in and after he gets a little riled up from Dragline poking him, he sort of regrets it.

Then Boner says he'd love to ban you, but restrains himself and Shaqw and Brasky poke back at Dragline for poking at them..

Now Shaw pokes you back but says he's not banning you...

So now, you're gonna pick up your marbles and go home?  
Dude, you've been in Norway too long.  Visit the states and get bacdk your bearings.  

[SeanD]

Shit that's the second person to quit after Dragline is let back in to stir shit up with the mods.  Apparently a dragline is what goes between the anchor and the BBS that gets dragged under.  Hopefully someone cuts that shit loose again.  SOON.

He'll get banned within a week. Don't worry too much about it. he only has to bash people a few more times before he's qualified as "harassing" people. Chronic abusive statements. Gone. Hence the beginning of a countdown I posted.

I'd do it right now but I already know what the "Let's all hate on Shaw." meatgrinder feels like. The last time the back of my eyeball literally fell off from my anger and hurt.

I can't allow myself to care enough to get upset, so I refuse to ban him. (This time)

[Bill Brasky]

He's capable of being nice when he feels like it.  The problem is, he doesn't feel like it.  He has an ax to grind. 

I'm sure "holiday cheer" will fuel his animosity, and he'll wake up one day to a "fuck you" screen.

[BonerJoe]

I banned him last night.

[BonerJoe]

Alaric is still mad I got him to voluntarily delete his account awhile back.

Do it again, you golden-tongued wizard.

alaric -
John didn't threaten to ban you. What he said was much more along the lines of 'I think you're being a dick, but you're not breaking the rules...' The only thing threatening about that is the implied 'don't break the rules'

Sorry to hear that you feel the need to leave. You have been part of many good discussions, and it's sad this spat with one or two of the mods has turned into something which can't be dropped by either side. I do hope you continue to listen to and support FTL though, as it really is a show that gives air time to the entire spectrum of opinions on just about everything. (I will admit to thinking that's a better thing in some cases than in others, but that's between me and the mute button on my computer.)

[alaric89]

Laetia I appreciate your comment.
You don't think I would get away with saying "Do .... or else there will be problems." to anybody do you?

[Fred]

Al, sleep on it man..

[Cognitive Dissident]

I banned him last night.

His account appears active.

[John Shaw]

And no, I am not threatening to fucking ban you.

Keep pretending that I didn't say that, asshole.

"Problems" means you're gonna piss me off. I can do a million non-moderator things that will annoy you if you piss me off.

Just leave me the fuck alone already. I've never once picked a fucking fight with you. Stop bitching about me. Stop talking about me. Stop shit talking me, and stop collectivizing people if you don't want to be thought of as a dirty fucking collectivist.
