Oh no my friend, I am living up to that end of the baragain. Lets not play that game. I am showing more Glory and Honor then half this staff is. I think this staff needs a Stalin like purge with comments like that. I'm stepping away from this forum for 24 hours so I don't say anymore that you great Mods can use aganist me.

And Monk, I'm suprise you posted with a sad face considering you made a thread supporting my thread? Just curious about this.

That was before you admitted to being a

for the sake of being a

, and making me feel like a stooge for ever defending you. You are really going to perpetuate this internet drama

now?

After all that's happened? It doesn't put anything into some kinda perspective for you?

Man if you're goinna act like that you should take a breather from the internet. You need a reality check, badly. I regret ever posting this thread.

It is always a shame when this happens, you try to play the white-knight then you suddenly discover you was aiding the villain all along. I have known that feeling myself.

No I thank you for your help though you need to learn I fight my battle my own way and not your panzy

ways. You can help me by fighting your own way and not getting on me when I defend myself my way. So get with me or get out of my face Monk. You guys need a reality check. I been doing things in RL and online way longer then you guys, so you guys need to pull your heads out of your

. You guys won't be doing this if your boss was alive because you damn well know me and him was getting along and we was working together to get the GAHzette back together and I damn well know some of you guys were pissed when I got unbanned. Even Tosa told me it won't be a popular decision 'among the staff'.

None of you guys better talk to me again unless it's something related to helping this forum get better, because otherwise go find life online elsewhere.

Pevergreen once called me a "Elitlist MP player". Sure, Many of us MP players are like that but not in a bad way.

So go leave me alone your SP minions.

The thread was posted with the best of intentions - not to defend any individual's behaviour... it's all water under the bridge - leave it.

There is the key. Moderators issue warnings and sanctions based on the rules, but can take other actions in the interest of maintaining the atmosphere and building/supporting the community of the ORG. That is the REAL goal of a moderator - building community and encouraging discussion - not just enforcing the "rules".

I myself would not have hesitated to have closed the thread, if i was late arriving and people had already posted about thier "rivals" then I would have deleted it. No apologies. That said, I would not have issued any sanctions or warnings about it - though I would have contacted the originator to discuss it (smooth it over).

The fact is that while no rule was broken, that the thread was "not in the interest of good relations and a positive atmosphere". Even if no rule violations occurred, it was not in the interest of building the community, rather could certainly have contributed to tearing it apart and worsening those existing rivalries.

If this was meant as a means to extend an olive branch, then there are better ways to do it. If people are harrassing you, then contact a "senior" or respected moderator, tell them about the issue, and perhaps they will help mediate a solution. During my days I did this several times - and while people still may not like each other, we can all at least be civil.
