Quote from: RPGPunditAnd then Curt, of all people, claiming I'm mentally ill. Holy fuck, I mean if there's one guy that needs to get doped up on anti-psychotics out of the whole modclique its him.

And now the two of you can join with droog in a Psychologists Online & Ornery group, or POO for short.

I don't think having read a few pages of White Wolf flavour fic about angsty vampires makes any gamer qualified to judge the psychological health of someone else online. Just stick to calling people "homophobes" if you're like Curt, "cunts!" if you're like droog, or "fuckers!" if you're like RPGPundit.

Quote from: RPGPunditAnyways, what a blast of a thread. Shows how scared of us they are. Especially as we continue to prove that their whole justification for their fascism is a huge lie.

Again with the overblown metaphors. Have you been talking to that mad Prussian Settembrini again? A few mods powertrippin' and exercising personal grudges is not fascism, it's just a few mods powertrippin' and exercising personal grudges.

I guess everyone has stuff they get irrational about, and this is RPGPundit's stuff... Mine is cooking! Put the parmesan in immediately after turning the heat off on the risotto, not before, damnit!

Quote from: JimBobOzWhat, so all of us were banned while not actually breaking any forum rules?

I was sure RPGPundit/Nisarg had broken some rule or other... probably personal attacks or something. "Curt, you fuck..." Something like that.

Actually, no. I was banned from RPG.net when I made the mistake of checking out Tangency, caught one of Amado's rants against the evils of America and consumerist society and how he was a cool marxist or whatever, and posted a response where I said "you must be posting from YOUR SECRET HEADQUARTERS IN THE JUNGLE.  That's some pretty amazing satellite connection you have there while fighting guerrilla warfare.. because I mean, surely you ARE actually fighting as a marxist revolutionary and not just some pampered college boy appreciating all of the luxuries that western civilization has to offer while simultaneously shitting all over it with statements you don't really understand but read in some first-year political science course taught by aging marxists, to be fashionable, right?"

So yeah, It was a personal attack of sorts, if you can calling someone out on their own bullshit claims a personal attack. But it wasn't just a "fuck you", or attacking the mods. It was for daring to say someone was from their precious inner circle was full of it.

:rolleyes:  ok... whatever, it proves that the justification for their "powertripping" is a lie, then, if that makes you happier.   The point is that they turned the site into their own little totalitarian playground, and claimed they HAD to, because otherwise you wouldn't get a site that would let you really talk about meaningful things.  And we prove that in fact, you can.  And for that matter, RPG.net these days has proved that just the opposite of their statement is true: totalitarian modding practices make it all but impossible for meaningful discussion of any kind to take place, because no one can actually say what they mean, and any kind of statement with any amount of conviction behind it is going to be used by someone who disagrees to claim personal attack and call for moderation. So you're left with talking about pretty kittens and the weather.

Quote from: RPGPunditShows how scared of us they are.

LOL!  Oh ... it really doesn't.

I mean, I understand that you feel that they're running scared of you.  And for all I know, they may be!  I'm not a mind-reader.  But I would submit that the thread itself can be explained just fine as baseless animosity spurred on by deliberate mutual misunderstanding ... just like most of the bile that gets spewed around here.  It's really the flip side of the various "RPG.Net sucks!" threads that go on here: mere cronyism and name-calling, not really indicative of anything.

I mean, if them slinging venom your way shows how scared they are ... wouldn't that mean that you are scared of everything and everyone you sling venom at?  That'd make you the most terrified person I know.

Hey, I'm seriously terrified of Eric's fascination with wanting me to do things to his genitals.

In any case, we're the little guy.  When the really huge guy starts freaking out about the little guy that they could afford to ignore, it tells me they're scared.

Let's not have anymore of these kinds of threads . The only time, we should bitch about tBP is when someone gets banned over there and starts up a thread about it over here.

I'll just say what i did over there. That both sites have their uses, just different tones and focus.

Quote from: JimBobOzThat's why Brasky's the one to have started this thread. He came into this forum putting it down, and he wants to belong and prove his belonging here. So he's going, "hey look! Those bastards are rubbishing us! They're scum, right? We're against them, yeah? And they banned me, right? So I belong here, yeah?" This thread is just about Brasky trying to belong. Someone give him a hug.

Overcompensate much?  You'll see that with the exception of this thread, I've only been starting threads over hear to pimp my own games (and to help Paul troll you, JimBob).  I started this thread because I read something over on RPG.net that talked about this site.  As you know from when you used to participate on my website, JB, we've had a tight-knit community over at Animalball for over three years.  I'm not posting to seek your approval, I'm posting because I found something relevant to this site.  I'm sorry that my uncanny sense of relationship is threatening to you.

That's literally what you were banned for??? :confused:

  I second the motion.  We all know the failings of TBP and who some of us choose to not post there and why some of us can't post there.  I don't think it's particularly fruitful to keep bitching about the place.

  a) it makes it look as though we're obsessed.
  b) it's not particularly interesting
  c) I'm not completely comfortable with the homophobic stuff that gets thrown around when talking about Curt.

  Frankly, if people want to display their dislike for TBP, the best thing they can possibly do is post good positive content here, thereby underlining what RPGnet's moderation policy is costing them.

  I seriously urge people to shut the fuck up about TBP.  Let them do their thing, we'll do ours and basta.

Yes. Mind you, they were looking for any excuse. And it certainly could qualify as a "person attack on amado".

Thank you. I now am officially done talking about the two sites in comparison, and will no longer contribute to further discussions on the matter.

That said, Pundit, I meant what I said about you, but I said it because it doesn't really matter in the end.  And I knew that if you read it, you'd know the same to be true.

You do realize that in calmly reporting about the way moderation policies work here with the "nox case" as an example, you have done more intense harm to the modcliques' image than two thousand blog rants of mine could have ever hoped to do, right?

I mean fuck, you did it on purpose right? You fucked them over by making them out to be the fascists they are, in the most polite way imaginable.
