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: JimBobOzHis using the parable shows again that he is a cocksmock.

"Mate, you did something deceitful, and upset me a bit."
"So? Here's a parable which says you should just forget about it. Let it go, you pussy."

What a cocksmock.

Oh, and he's nice in real life? Bully for him! Who cares? All we know is what a person presents online. If someone thinks I'm a dickhead because of my words, which I was able to type, spellcheck, edit for content, take as long as I needed to write up - well then it's my fault they think I'm a dickhead. I can't piss and moan and say, "but it's just my woooords! Let it go, like the Zen monk said!"

Of course, if he writes a game which I think me and my group will enjoy, I'll still buy it. Luckily, I haven't had to do that yet. No game I've enjoyed or been interested in has the Wickhead as its sole or primary authour.

Quote from: McrowI think Mythus has done worse that Wick on this one. Wick may have pissed many people off online, but atleast he has not in anyway come off as a pervert.

Mccrow, you have such a talent for sticking your feet in your mouth, it's a wonder your kneecaps haven't dissolved in your stomach juices.

BTW, innocence doesn't mean one can't do wrong. It means that one can't understand that one is doing wrong.

Quote from: J ArcaneYeah.  I must say that while I think Wick is a dick, at least he's not a pederast.

I have gotten the impression certain people were released from parental supervision a little too early.

Man, I'm pretty certain I'm more concerned about you ever being allowed NEAR children.

I'm not the one writing long novels explaining how it's totally OK to have sex with 13 year old girls.

Fuck off you filthy sack of shit.  You've got about as much room to be questioning people's parenting skills as Nox does giving advice on racial tolerance.

When you reply to an accusation you're supposed to refute it. But not you, you'd rather hold on to your animosity. Thus you establish a level of maturity 13 year old girls surpassed long ago.

I don't hurt children. I acknowledge and accept what children are like, the good and the bad. You would isolate them from the world, producing a crop of pseudo adults with no survival tools, able only to follow blindly behind the lastest smooth talker or strident fanatic.

Part of raising children is preparing them for their lives as adults, making sure they have the tools they need. Denying how children feel about matters you have problems with does nothing to prepare them for handling those feelings. You want children to fit your own perverted sense of perfection. They won't. Children get cranky, they get mean. Children express "inappropriate" interest in "inappropriate" subjects. It is up to their parents, and other adults placed in authority over them, to keep children from coming to harm. Sometimes that includes teaching them why they are feeling a certain way about Mom, Dad, Uncle Joe, or Aunt Edna.

The mark of a true pedohile is an utter contempt for children. A boy or girl is not even a person but an object to be used. Heaven forbid a small girl exhibit any flash of temper, for that renders her imperfect, and thus trash to be disposed of.

But I doubt that will make any impression upon you, for you have the surety of the 15 year old. You know how things should be, and you can't accept that things aren't that way.

Were I to bring legal action against you it would be to get you placed in a conservatorship. For you are obviously incompetent to handle your own affairs.

To be fair, J Arcane, RPGPundit has topic-banned him from mentioning that particular area of his interests (the legality and morality of sex with the underage), as noted in this thread (hah! looking over that old thread, I predicted the topic would come up again, sadly I was right). So, attacking him on that basis is a bit unfair. It's like when rpg.net had the topic ban on the "brain damage" article, and people said, "wooah, when did Ron Edwards ever say how he didn't think well of gamers?" They knew he had, but that we couldn't mention it - that was an unfair debating tactic. Likewise, mentioning mythusmage's attitudes about underage sex when he's topic-banned from even mentioning them, is also an unfair tactic.

Either lobby for his complete banning, or attack him on a topic he can defend himself on. Be fair, and don't be a wuss.

He certainly seemed to prove quite capable of going off into the "pederasty advocay" deepend in that last post.  Yeah, he's really just "helping them".  I think I'm going to throw up.  So much for dinner.

I was not aware of a topic-ban being in place, anyhow.  I've sent a message to the administration however related to his behavior.

It seems he was posting at the same time as me. I was assuming he'd have the good sense not to reply to the accusations, and just leave it be. Obviously I was wrong.

Quote from: J ArcaneI was not aware of a topic-ban being in place, anyhow.
This is what I meant when I said that the thing would come up months later and have to be dealt with again. If mythusmage is to be prohibited from the topic X, then what happens when people ask him about topic X? Do they get in trouble for bringing it up with him? Messy, messy. Easier to bannzorz his arse.

Oh well.

That's very unprofessional of you, J Arcane! I'll never buy a game from you again! :D

I fully admit I'm a complete asshole, and I can say that there's probably a host of exchanges that have occured in my online time that might drive people away from any products I published, but I'd hate to think it was because of the one time I insulted a pedophile.  ;)
