The internet seems to bring out the meaner side in people. And this is a prime example. I'm looking at you Cazor. What is your problem? It's like the pot calling the kettle black.

Exceptions to this rule are people who don't post with rampant hostility, or are rather nice actually like Freelancer was here. Kudos to you, even when completely anonymous, your inner jerk is held in.

Just because you can ream someone, doesn't mean you should. If you have a problem to do it with you know, tact.

Oh yeah, addendum: Never, ever make a public dispute about anything mod-related. This is a benevolent dictatorship, not a democracy. Plus they pay the bills, so, yeah. It never can end well, and it brings the nasty people out of the woodwork.

I should get flamed for taking part in the "net nanny" side. But jeeze, this forum is greater than others because it doesn't have this crap. Usually hostility, or at least heavy insult free. Just actually bothers me for some reason to see this place, I dunno, so similar to the other idiotic places

I'm new to this joint so I'm not biased in anyway, yet I can tell Rod-Nog is annoying. He reminds me of this fat kid in computer programming who makes corny jokes and gets made fun of (no offense.)

Listen, I won't diss you as long as you don't mess with me, aight?

I suggest you shapen up though, and I don't mean fitness... (even though that could help.. j/p j/p)



So we're cool now hopefully, ok?

My Tracks

Hrm...

Rod-Nog hasn't annoyed me in the slightest. Although lacking in content, I have no problem with his posts. Hell, I do the same thing too. Cazor's Cazor, and there's no changing that because he's cool in a 'Tony' sort of way. And Em Playa... Well, I'd better keep my comments in my own head before I meet Mr. and Mrs. Brick.

But really... I know it's the internet, but we really shouldn't be ripping each other's guts out when they poke. And then I remember. We're human. Well, mostly.

Hi! How are you all? Cool! I'm good, nice weekend. Ate too much, watched some dvds with the missus, relaxed. Fun!

Anyway...

1) I've seen Rod-Nog post flamebait several times. He needs to grow up a bit, not that he's alone on that count.

2) No matter what Rod-Nog posts, "go shove a twinkie up your *** you fat ****." is just totally inappropriate and I would have slapped a week ban if I was here at the time. Do it again Em Playa and you better hope I'm not around. Censoring the words means nothing if it's aimed at someone as verbal abuse.

3) I'm not sure how many admins have access to staff@massassi. I don't and I'm not inclined to have a personal address available as that'd fill with spam too. Maybe we need a complaints/comments forum.....or something.

4) Liberty Stands Still is a really really crappy movie and I do not know why I am watching it on Showtime right now. Do I enjoy pain? I think I might.

Second to last post.

Personally, I don't mind SAJN, I just think of him as part of the community. But I find Em Playa comes across a little arrogantly (at least to me) in some of his posts, mostly where someone reminds him of a rule and gets called "mom" for it. SAJN posts to tell us about a problem he has concerning the forum, which concerns Em, and all he gets in reply is a "Heh.". What you said to him wasn't funny, nor worthy of being proud about it. But, I do respect your attempt to reconcile. Just my two cents.

Pennies, rather. British, see.

after avoiding this thread as much as possible, i'm just seeing that people haet some people, people like some people, it just happens that the people that dislike him, are the more known and are followed, people see that as a que to bash. that doesn't mean that there are still some people that do like him or pay no heed to it. its a war that goes on constantly through life, live with it, your just seeing the POW side of it

Yes, at times I can be a bit immature. I thought people would take the Twinkie thing as a joke! But it turned into this whole "Holy crap, you are the biggest moron alive". It wasn't meant to offend anyone, but all of a sudden people started makeing gay porn jokes and all this. I mean, how many "I GOT 1337 POSTS!, or "1,000! w00t go me" threads are there? Alot. I thought my thread would be treated as one of those. Just a "good for you" and then let it die. But it turned to a huge debate!

Another thing, Cazor, I have NEVER seen you post anything nice, or even attempted to talk nice to me. That isn't me being immature, that's you being immature. I am trying to start over, where you just want to bash away. Sorry. But I dislike fighting.

As for SAJN...meh. He has his off and on days, and I think he has greatly improved since first coming to Massassi. I think he has a bad habit of perpetuating an imaginary rivalry between himself and another person of authority here at Massassi, but that's about the only real problem I have with him.

And to Septic, I always thought I was better off back in the day, I remember one post when I said "5 out of 4 people think something about Al Gore" then I posted another thread warning people about the weather, and you said "5 out of 4 people will suffer these conditions" *grin*. I was happy, because my guess is I had no idea of the people that were getting mad at me But I'm alot older now, so I am more likley to post my opinions and such, which just gets me in trouble. So like I said, from now on, no more debates for me.

Wolfy, that challenging authority, comes from a year or two bad experience with an admin. I don't mean to take it out on everyone, or anyone for that matter, sorry.

I would have a better idea of what he is doing, you would think. Back then i really didnt care about being 'a part of a community'. Now, i do.

And SAJN, I'll start "posting anything nice" when i start seeing you post meaningful things. I wouldnt have gone out of my way to just 'bash' you for no reason since the twinkie thread, and i don't think i even really bashed you there. I just said not to bring me into it. That was one of the last stupid posts i have seen from you, so i guess you could be on a start.

On another note... Em Playa needs to see that "Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics" picture. Don't say stuff to people in forums that you wouldn't say in real life, unless you're confident you can kick their asses (thats advice for real life, not forums).

The Twinkie post. I never thougt THAT would be getting so much attention. I thought it would be taken as a silly little joke, and people would get on with there lives.

Second, respect the rules. You used gay as an insult, and in 80% of your posts I see way to many asterisks.

I don't want you going off the edge and swearing, so even if it doesn't have to do with me, it still affects the rest of the community.

I am saying, just everyone watch your asterisk count!

But the trouble is, you post something in EVERY SINGLE THREAD, and NONE of it is worth reading. That WW2 trivia thread was one of the more serious threads I've seen here in a while, and I was expecting to open it one day and see a picture of a guy throwing up his corn flakes or whatever the hell you've found on the internet. It never eventuated, but dirty-kak-love did I expect it to happen.


The difference is that Em doesn't feel the need to drag out whatever brief thought that crosses his mind and post it on massassi.

You have 1300+ posts since I got unbanned 3/4/5 months ago. That is in no way "trying to turn over a new leaf". You're certainly more annoying now than you were before.


Holy ****, even Cazor finds you annoying.

At the end of the day, I DON'T want to read every single thought that crosses your mind, I DON'T want to read serious threads interspersed with whatever jpegs you happen to find on 2chan.net

The joke wore out, oh, say ON YOUR 800TH

[This message has been edited by GHORG (edited February 22, 2004).]

playa, you directed specific insults at people, i think you're lucky not to be banned in all honesty, i mean, i once got banned for calling overglow a moron, and that was the truth too!

This is like going through therapy....

Oh, I want a "Report Abuse" feature too. We have it for the level comments, so I dont' see why we shouldn't have it for the forums.

See, it boils down to this regarding banning and such. We have 1/2 of Massassi whining and complaining that we ban someone because of what they think are "stupid reasons", admin abuse, personal vendetta, etc.

Then there is the other 1/2 of Massassi that thinks we should ban more, so that makes the people that think we ban too much even more angry.

Either way, like right now, admins are getting caught in the cross-fire because we either didn't ban Em Playa or Rod-Nog, or we shouldn't ban Em Playa or Rod-Nog.

Alright then, if that's how you want it fine.

I just want everyone to recognize the fact that I tried to reconcile with Rod-Nog but he has declined it.

------------------
My Tracks

*sigh* I didn't decline it. I just told you to watch your mouth. And on that WWII thread, I was serious the entire time. All those posts are makeing up for what I missed I guess I've made it up now. If you don't want to read what I post, FINE, don't read it, or ignore it. I've been here for a long long time, and all of a sudden all these people run in and "YOU ARE A n00b! YOU SUCK BAD, YOU CAN'T HAVE AN OPINION" An opinion doesn't have to be backed up by fact, so I don't get how my opinion can be wrong. It's an opinion. I was told that I was WRONG in the gay marriage thread, because I belived that marriage should be used to reproduce and everyone posts "NO, YOUR WRONG! THEN WE WOULD ALL OVER POPULATE AND DIE! YOU ARE WRONG AND YOU SUCK!" Okay...It's still my opinion, it's what I belive.
