This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Pierce InverarityWe'll see about satisfaction, spammer.

And it's been settled that I am not a spammer.  And the way you use the word spammer it is clear you don't know what the hell the term means.

And try as you might I am not going anywhere.

Welcome to my ignore list.

The fact that you're not a mere spammer doesn't stop you from being both annoying and opportunistic, though.

Please, I have been adding to the threads I have been contributing to threads and I have been giving more then one line answers.

I know since I have my own website now I am on the outs with you because I am not a "good little rpgsite solider".  

And if you say that I am opportunistic you can say that about anyone with a link in their signature file who posts.

 Including yourself.

Then enlighten me on what you think Qualifies me being annoying and opportunistic.

I mean shit, I am posting I am contributing.  You said it was settled in the thread you created in Help Desk, I may have disagreed with things you have said but I haven't taken any shots at The RPG Site since then.  Now I am getting flack from you again.

Do you want me to contribute or not?

RPGPundit

The matter is settled as far as whether or not you're a spammer; you do contribute to this site, and for however long you keep doing so, you're welcome to be here. You're even welcome to continue shilling your site within reason.

But there's no doubt at all that you shill away...pretending like you're not, or that you don't occasionally (often, some might say) post on a thread exclusively to do a bit of shilling, is kind of disingenuous of you.

Again, I don't have a problem with you advertising your site here, within reason. So don't feel like you have to lie about doing so, or justify yourself.

As for annoying, that's more my personal feeling than anything else (i'm sure you'd feel the same way if I was on your board, constantly claiming that you're a bad mod). You won't get in trouble for that either.

The only shilling I know of that I do is have my site in my signature file.  I may have used it as an example:  I believe I said "Things said on this site and my site do not matter because the majority of gamers do not go online".  If you consider that shilling that that's your prospective.

Quote from: RPGPunditAgain, I don't have a problem with you advertising your site here, within reason. So don't feel like you have to lie about doing so, or justify yourself.

I haven't lied.  The Majority of the shilling has remained in my signature file (I don't see everyone with a site in their signiture file getting crap).

Quote from: RPGPunditAs for annoying, that's more my personal feeling than anything else (i'm sure you'd feel the same way if I was on your board, constantly claiming that you're a bad mod). You won't get in trouble for that either.

And this is where you are wrong.  I have never said you were a bad mod.  I think your "Swine Theory and Paranoia that people are trying to subvert the hobby are off base.  They really are.  Noone is trying to subvert the hobby.

As a matter of fact nowhere in the "Who really cares about Free Speech" thread did I say you were a bod moderator.  

In the pistols thread that can be found here:  

http://www.therpgsite.com/forums/showpost.php?p=111975&postcount=252

I said:

"The Pundit is the Pundit and that's fine. He likes D&D and D20 and I do not, I don't begrudge that (to each his own). But when he spouts his weird paranoia that is something I cannot stand and I feel I need to speak out. The rest I can ignore"

I don't think that your a bad mod, I simply think your off base labeling of people Swine and Elitisim is what's wrong with the hobby and turns people off.

Quote from: HackmastergeneralOh jesus christ - both you and Werekoala were shit disturbers of the highest order.  Fucking sanctimonious bullshit.  Werekoala way moreso than you, but Pseudo, you had some pretty hardcore passive-aggressive and deliberately obtuse asshattery going for quite some time.  Werekoala was quite frankly an annoying pissant and the site is better for him having gone.

Bullshit. If anyone's being sanctimonious here, it's you.

I had a problem with the RPG.net moderation and I was quite open about it. The "deliberately obtuse" and "passive-aggressive" phrases you used are cliched bullshit, vacuous and without any relevance to my situation. I didn't like the moderation policies of RPG.net, and I thought that the mods did a bad job of enforcing even those bad policies. I didn't hide that, though I also tried not to get banned in the process of pointing it out by being lured into making a PA.

There's no "deliberate obtuseness" there - I didn't pretend not to realise something. Nor was there "passive-aggression" - I didn't pretend to like or be indifferent to the mods and their policies while secretly sniping at them. Use expressions that accurately describe things, not buzzwords and cliches.

Furthermore, I'm contemptuous as shit of any definition of "asshattery" that really just means "Didn't agree with the majority", which is really what you mean. I don't deny I held an unpopular position and that I argued at length and with great enthusiasm for that position, but if you think that's "asshattery", you're advocating a position that should be held in contempt.

I'm not even banned from the site last I checked. I logged out after Curt started threadstalking me, and have never logged back in.

Quote from: HackmastergeneralTo 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 have been involved in more than one, you hypocritical cunt. Heck, you fucking dogpiled me when I said that I didn't vote in the last election. If that leaves you feeling dirty, then don't do it. It's a contemptible thing to sniff at the cleanliness of others when you're covered in pigshit.

Can't even recall it.  If you have a link, I'd sure like to see it.  Cause I have never, to my mind, dogpiled anyone.  I've gotten into some heated arguements, and sometimes the person on the other side gets creamed cause they were acting like an ass, posting stupid shit, and gets righteously reamed for it, but I have never particpated in the special breed of "zebra-hyena" shit that pops up on tangency, to my mind.

Now, as someone on the recieving end, you obviously feel like you WERE.  Again, if theres a link, I'd love to see it.  Mostly to satisfy my opinion.  I can remember most of the really big arguements, but I can't for the life of me recall this one.
