    I expect that either Tosa or Lemur, due to the dangerous level of opinion in this post, will either delete it or ban me. That, or take me out the back and shoot me in the back of the skull with a 9mm, which would certainly please both of them. But I will repost if it is deleted, as opinions have 2 outcomes. Either they stay forever, or are countered. You cannot fight opinion with fire.
    The Internet; serious business.

    To the point; a number of people have manged to have large disagreements with the admins and mods here. They didn't get banned because they managed to do so civilly.

    Ja Mata, Tosa.

    To be fair, I think deleting what was by far the biggest social group on the org without warning is hardly civil. And then banning half the members when they are slightly peeved. And then throwing some members out of the group. And then using one of the member's account to nominate another taverner to be barkeep. And then nominating yourself barkeep, with no permission from anyone.

    That is hardly acting civil.

    And the internet is serious business, when it comes to my friends. Because of the sanctimonious actions of the mods herre, I have lost many friends, as our meeting place has been destroyed.

    Tosa took over moderation of the Tavern because the assigned moderator did not do anything to edit out posts which violated Org rules. Since it became clear that even after the Tavern was deleted the first time, you were not going to properly self-regulate your social group, there were only two options available to us. First, we could just delete the group again. Second, the group could be switched over to moderation by a member of the staff. Tosa chose the option that would have the least impact on you, and in the process gave himself the extra burden of having to be responsible for editing the posts of the group, on top of everything else he does here. Your anger at him is misplaced, as Tosa actively saved the Second Tavern from being deleted.

    The internet is a big place, it shouldn't be very difficult to relocate to another spot if you find this one not to your liking.

    How does prussian iron troll. I am going to defend this poor innocent boy. And finally your audience in the tavern was not all adults. One of your common posters was Aemilius Paulus who is not 18 yet and therefore not an adult. Older than his years and intelligent? yes but he cant smoke, buy a playboy, or see an rated R movie without his mommy.

    Sorry AP, but you were the first example i could think of.

    Actually i may be wrong AP might be older than i think but i remeber hearing he was dual enrolled in high school and college.

    either way my main point stands, leave poor PI alone, he already gets enough flak from the infamous girl help threads.

    Okay, first, the person who was in charge of the tavern was only thuis because Tosa used my account to nominate him. He cleared up pretty well, but for one thing: the acceptence letter of Meth. Let me make this clear, Meth was never going to be in charge of the tavern. He was only in charge because Tosa made him so. I would again like to point out that there was nothing on the second tavern that warrented a closure anyway, and Tosa STILL has not got back to me as to why he threw me out of the tavern.

    And as you say, the internet IS a big place, so when you remove landmarks, people get lost.
