Before starting the thread, he IMed me on facebook "Let's see if I get banned for this post I'm about to make." Then, to sum things up, he posted a link to it, I said "Why?"

That comparison's been bouncing around my brain since I saw that juvenile thread. God knows, we don't need another one of HIM.

Pags Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 QUOTE (Tony R @ Jun 1 2011, 02:41 PM) QUOTE (Pags @ Jun 1 2011, 07:15 PM) You are one of the most insufferable members on this entire website. End of discussion. GW is a top guy with a strong sense of honour and integrity. He has a good point, we can't say for sure what IATS' motives were and it would have been amusing to hear his excuses. However it was probably a hit and run thread and there were no real reasons other than "look at me". The Admind made the right decision for the site. End of. But let's not get into GW hating though, eh? I don't hate GW. However, personally, it seems that many times whenever there is an issue involving the action of an admin or mod - you can place a bet that GW will somehow 'make' himself involved, and will rarely relent his stance. It can become quite irritating, and the exercise of having to somehow appease him around here is getting as old as is it irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW is expressing a rather narrow-thinking impression that by closing a thread all opportunity to get to an OP's motives have been lost. It seems such a silly conclusion to come to, creepy that he would have to sit there and make himself that concerned over it, and take actions (such as this thread) because of it. The admins can easily make contact with the OP to get to the bottom of an issue. However, first steps are important. And in this case, the first step was to contain and remove the mess caused by the actions of the OP. Getting to the "truth" is something that can be done, privately, if it is deemed necessary. It certainly doesn't need to be done in a public viewing so someone like GW can be appeased. This entire discussion is ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 QUOTE (Tony R @ Jun 1 2011, 02:28 PM) Sorry GW, old friend, but I totally agree with the Admins here. The thread needed to go simple as that. Whilst nobody has the right not to be offended this board is not a public place it's a privately owned entity. The thread was likely to offend but more importantly still it paints the site in a very poor light. IATS could start a thread to explain his actions but why bother? Life's too short and the Admins have more important things to do like making sure I don't start fire off more flaming Ad Homs in SOCN. I like that last bit.

Any reason why we shouldn't be so interested? Tide is a longtime member and has gotten along well here, until recently. First, he starts using other people's avatars, including mine which I made for myself and is pretty much identifiable with me, then he does the same with other people's unique avatars. He's been here long enough and knows those images are connected to those people, so he did it to raise a stink. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't a big deal. They were just avatars. But it sets up a pattern of behavior. Then he posted a racial image in an existing thread in SOCN last week. Me and Jack got on his case for it, but he didn't get suspended and the thread didn't get closed. It died and that was it. And now this poll of his. Tide, man up and post in here. Why did you go troll all of a sudden? Do you really WANT to get banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
