What's going on? (Thread locking? EMH?)

*realizes he only has an AK-47, a rifle, and a shotgun, three weapons that he can't aim at his head*
*cries in a corner*

You're totally right, Ekshin. Even Yarps says so. But we're not gonna change anyone's mind unless we keep our heads. I understand how you feel. I like Vile. We'll explain this to Striker. It's her call, but pissing her off isn't gonna help. So let's just be cool and see what happens.

I just got back to work from home, so I'm not even supposed to be posting right now. Are we all going to send a note to Stred on our own or should we have one person make the case sans "OMFGIKILLMYSELFCRY"

Flooding her pm inbox may not be a good idea. Having maybe one really well done message with peoples names "signed" may be better. If its a flood, she may just ignore them...

Yeahduff · Post by **Yeahduff** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 9:19 pm

Good call. Who shall draft the letter?

Yeahduff · Post by **Yeahduff** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 10:07 pm

OK fine. I guess I could PM Striker with the names of everyone who supports Vile, or I could write the letter in a post here, and have everyone come around and "sign" it by posting. How does that sound?

Ironically, I think I just did that here.

I don't think you all realize that Vile wanted to be banned.
It was it's goal to harrass someone so much they kicked it out.
That was it's goal.
That is the kind of person it is.
I did not mind Vile, I taught myself simply to look over it's posts; I haven't read one of it's in a while; but I believe what is done is done, and there is not use in beating the dead horse.
The horse has taken its last step; it will not get up and run another mile because of your actions to make it do so.
What is done is done.
What is finished is finished.
This war may obtain victory, but it will not obtain peace.
Even if you do suceed in returning Vile to this forum; you while have insued the wrath of STtRedWolf; a fate which I will take no part of.
So long live GD, and let die this pointless discussion of the creature who calls itself Vile.

VileTerror has informed me to relay the message that you are incorrect in your assumptions.

Thank you and have a nice day.

You know, I had this feeling that perhaps Vile would be happy about the banning, since that's sort of what it hinted at (I was going to call her a she, but recently I read a post where Vile specificly said she was neither male nor female.) but I guess it's up to StRedWolf and Vile itself whether or not the banning will be removed. All I'm saying is that if it wants to return to these forums, I agree that it should be allowed to.

I've had a bad day, actually.
My head hurts... just finished filling out the application to the School of Math and Science; so I'm pretty nervous.

And my point was that Vile seems to have that type of personality... what's it called?
All I can think of Compulsive Quitting, but that's not it... and it's not Obsessive Compulsive, or Passive Agressive, which I have been diagnosed with...
Compulsive somthing...
Oh, I forget.
I'll tell you if I remember it.

Vile was quite frightened when Yarps was handed a mallet. Ir did not want to be banned. Maybe initially, but not now.

Again, way to take the initiative, rkolter.

KittyKatBlack · Post by **KittyKatBlack** » Sun Feb 01, 2004 2:40 am

Actually, I found out that moderators DON'T have the power to ban people. Just lock, delete and edit threads. Banning is only available to actual keenspace staff... So YarpsDat couldn't have banned VT even if he wanted to.

Yeahduff · Post by **Yeahduff** » Sun Feb 01, 2004 3:08 am

No kidding? How bout that. Well, I'm pretty sure Vile didn't know that either, particularly judging by ir response.

Executor_Arthas · Post by **Executor_Arthas** » Sun Feb 01, 2004 5:44 am

Yeah, Vile didn't want to get banned... *sniff* *goes and cries in corner* Oh, an Sortelli, I said I was sorry for getting pissed, my temper goes crazy once in awhile.

im pretty sure that he did know mods couldnt ban, he was just afraid to get all his posts edited.

yeahduff wrote:Poor English translation. What he meant was, "my explanation as to why I should be a mod not only got my status back but got Vile banned." Yarps coulda banned Vile for the past month, but didn't. The two never got along, so he's not going to weep when she's gone.

That doesn't mean you have to trust him. Do what you want, but that's how it is.

Yeah, that's more or less what I meant.

These LOL's in my message were not meant to say I was happy.
(I think I'd use

to convey that), only it was to mean that I find it extremly funny.
Actually I was quite surprised it happened.

If you didn't read my explanation on page 2 of this thread, the situation was like this:
Vile Terror send e-mail complaining that I'm a bad moderator, and that I'm hostile to him (hence locking of the two threads, that were supposedly examples of me beeing hostile to him).

I got a PM requesting explanation of my actions.
So I explained my reasons for disliking VileTerror, and defended Kisai's decision to make a mod.
Maybe I did that too good... Keep in mind that Kisai made me a mod so I could defend the forum from spam, so maybe I shouldn't have quoted the message that made her do it.

Or maybe StrredWolf just got trigger happy. (again)

Mr Ekshin, If you want to know the details... it's all in personal correspondence between me and StrredWolf. Ask him, (Edit: Damn you yeahduff, I got his gender right, and you had to cause confussion!) to forward you my messages.
I won't do that because:
a)There is no quote button in outbox.
b)You may think I edited the quotes, to prove my point. (I wouldn't, but you said you don't trust me.)
c)Understanding my messages requires reading his, and I have no right to show them to others.
I'm not ashamed of anything I might have said in my messages, and I hereby grant him the right to forward them to you, if you are REALLY interested.

BTW, in my PMs I did mention that the whole VileTerror thing has been taken care of, and that we managed to work out an agreement. I even used past tense when talking about the problem

!
Sure I might have put more emphasis on these points... Sue me. I dislike VileTerror. And you can't blame me I focused on defending myself and the forum.
Honestly, I had no idea it would result in him getting banned.

I only regret that Vile wasn't given a chance to explain himself (or herself, whatever), like I was.

BTW, yeahduff, KKB, hush hush. How am I supposed to intimidate people when they know I can't ban them?

Kurt Cobain wouldn't agree with you on atleast one of those weapons... Unless you're trying to aim all three at the same time at your head of course, that'd be tricky, you'd probably need string and stuff.
