This would be funnier if Serious Paul weren't off in several other threads babbling about Animalball this, and Bulldrek that, and Pundit's daily repost being about you guys

I see what you did there.

Quote from: J ArcaneOh he was fun.  I had a fun argument with him once about how apparently, according to him, all shooter games are fundamentally racist.  In which despite breaking half a dozen rules in the course of the thread, Cessna still refused to do anything about it.

That was fun.

Wait, what? I thought *I* was the problem over there, and once I was taken care of, all the puppies and pixie dust were on the way! You're saying Jakko really IS an asshole who never gets paddled despite outrageous behavior? And he's only one of many? Wonder why - could it be because he was on the "right" side all the time?

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

I actually haven't been back to this site in a while, but if Paul says it's so, then it is so.  (There was a suspicion at first that we were the same person- but I'm the good-looking one and he's the brains of the operation.)

All of that being said, none of y'all would like AB or BD (mostly because people use words like y'all) anyways, you've got exactly what you like here.  We're a tough crowd and we understand we're not to everyone's taste.

That being said, I'd like to get back to the original topic.  I'm still banned from RPG.net and haven't seen any of these new miraculous changes.  But didn't I hear they were taking a more metered approach to moderating?  Did I not hear that?

Last I heard that was later recanted as being one moderator talking out of her ass, and was mostly just a reaffirmation of what everyone already knew, namely that despite the way the rules had been written previously, only certain categories of group attack were actually enforced.

I was reading through one of the necromantic threads on this site that someone recently revived that I started a year ago (creepiest gamer) and how I was attacked by one of the mods- was it Darrin?  I don't even think he's still a mod over there-- do they even still have the same mod set?

Darren is still a mod.  Darren will basically always be a mod, despite his behavior being utterly unbecoming of any kind of authority position, because too many people criticize his position there, so actually banning the assmunch like he should be woule be a threat to their authority, as it might be seen as the waves of consumer complaitns being genuinely addressed instead of swept under the rug.

It's political, basically.

Quote from: WerekoalaLove you too, sugarbear.

I was goaded into being any annoying pissant by having the misfortune to take the "wrong" side of any social issue. How DARE I have an opinion that runs contrary to the Herd over there. A herd that I will note you were a member of. As long as we're all in agreement, then everything's fine! Nice way to live. The dogpiles were not a product of me as a person, but of my opinions, and naturally when the Mods happen to agree with the dogpilers, your chances are pretty damn slim. THAT is why I ended up on the wrong end of the ban-hammer.

If I was so bad over there, why am I so not-bad over here? Because I'm not getting constantly slapped down by ... let's see... "annoying pissants" like Jakko, for example - someone who wished death on all my family and friends, and claimed I was an out and out racist (PA anyone?) because I dare to suggest we might want to enforce our laws equally... and he received nothing - nothing - as punishment, not even an admonishment. No double standard there!

You've surely noted the comment in the Off Topic forum about how most of the folks who are ending up over here seem to be of a more right-wing bent? There's a reason for that, chief. Suss on that one for a bit.

Theres plenty of right wingers still over there.  The ones left are ones that don't have to be a raging jackass dick about it.

"Don't be a dick" - primary rule numero uno of rpg.net.  Never break that, you got no problems.  You can still be quite a dick and get away with it for a long time - hell, look how long Ross N stuck around.  Sooner or later, your dickishness will get you in trouble.

Personally, I have no problem with that.  I LIKE rpg.net the way it is.  I also like this place.  I get different things out of the two experiences, and neither is better or worse.  I'm spending a bit more time on here now than BP, but after the crash, I'm feeling like a bit of downtime from BP is a good thing.  I'll go back - there was a time when I was taking all the anti-teacehr threads too seriously and took time away from BP, and it was good.  I think I'm feeling one of those now.  So I'll hang here for a while, and see whats shakin.  Perhaps this becomes a regular part of my inetrnet routine - a few RPG.net forum tabs open, a few RPGsite tabs open.  I love Firefox.

EDIT - you weren't the only one.  Far from it.  The Usual Suspect jackasses were another.  And Nisarg.  Sweet fucking god Nisarg.  Never has there been a time someone on the internet made me want to commit unspeakable atrocities just to shut them the fuck up.

Again (and for the last time) the only reason I BECAME a raging jackass dick is because I was dogpiled by the Marching Morons who felt that since I stuck up a bit, I had to be hammered down. I don't take kindly to being gang-raped.

To be fair to you, the trend of "Hyena-Zebra" always leaves me feeling dirty.

I mean, some guys - fuck, they bring it on themselves, and are all but asking for a huge dogpile.

But sometimes, many times, its just fucking mean and rude.  The one thing about BP that pisses me off more than anything.

And yet you wind up on his site.    Don't feel bad though, I did too.  It's a nice place, in spite of him though.

And I can't condemn the dogpiling too harshly, if only because that would be more than a bit hypocritical, myself having occasionally been part of some of those dogpiles.

What's BP?

Quote from: Pierce InverarityActually, he hasn't, and we haven't either.

Actually this was taken care of in the thread that RPG Pundit started in TT:

He was satisfied and hasn't sad anything more and he is the admin.  If he can get past it then so can you.

Move the fuck on already.

We'll see about satisfaction, spammer.
