Since you've decided to question my honesty, I'll approach this with all the civility it deserves.
Shower JIMP with all the clique-based flatterings you want, the bottom line is he wasn't banned for his "thoughtful and often even keeled" posting.
Only an idiot would suggest that.
My comments re: JIMP reflect my reading his posts on four different forums(including this one).
"Clique" has nothing to do with it.
He was banned for non-stop crying and stubbornly refusing to accept a simple ruling.
Since he didn't do either, I'd be curious to see an example.
the Admin side who will not waste their daddy-time on people playing stupid clique-ish games..
Yet you felt the need to reply to me(rather lengthy replies) twice.
Zuk and JIMP are not willing to listen or see our side of it at all. All we're getting is a loud non-stop stream of demands lest this forum 'slide' into whatever ridiculious depravity you choose to imagine.
Loud non-stop stream of demands? Are you serious?
I don't recall you overreacting this much in the past. Perhaps you are
under some stress outside the web as you mentioned. The only one acting "loudly" is you.
This thread is a good example:
http://www.itsallpolitics.com/forum/index.php?topic=1470.0Non-stop like this:
ZUK or JIMP: "If you don't see and do things the way you say you're in danger of becoming even less cool (in our opinion) compared with NPBoards -- the greatest thing to ever happen to the Internet".
Like I care.
Speaking of dishonest, I'll address this shortly.
Get over yourselves. We impliment the rules not you and JIMP/Zuk hardly qualify as 'members of the IAP community' so quit acting like they were.
Combine IAP 1.0 & 2.0, & you'll notice the three of us account for ~ 6,000-7000 posts.
What then constitutes membership in this community?
I could've just suspended them but they've already been suspended once for the very same crap. Get over yourselves and learn that you're not always going to be in control. This would be an easier lesson if you didn't spend all your time in a fishbowl clique.
As I mentioned, we've spent plenty of time here, too.
2DOH what Zuk and JIMP were doing was non-stop insincere crap and Im not going to deal with it. i have two kids already.
Yes it's loud, dishonest, non-stop, insincere, childish, etc...
Again, bullshit. Your knee is in full blown jerk mode.
I'm sick of it and I don't particularily care if im the last one here, or the next one to go, we're not going to deal with pointless crap all the time. Don't like it? Then don't even bother telling us yopu're leaving just go. i like you 2DOH but im not going to be held hostage. We're the ones applying the rules and that's just all there is to it. No point telling us you're going to leave...just leave.
Well, you kept going & I didn't want to appear rude by ignoring you.
Now, part two...
You seem to be offended I referred to NPBoards as a little boys club clique.
True. One shouldn't become irrational when a forum one frequents
is criticized. Wouldn't you agree?
(I can expand on that if you like)
Maybe you should've employed that sense of understanding while JIMP and Zuk come over here daily to imply that small simple descisions they can't deal with are going to 'ruin this forum' and 'golly it sure is better over at NPBoards, blah blah blah".
This is the part I wanted to address earlier:
You've accused zuk, JIMP, & myself of bringing up comparisons of IAP & npboards, more than once now.
I did a search of the forum, & the only one bringing up npboards is
you.(The one exception being Bikerdude when he asked me a direct question
& my responding to that question).
The only one making a comparison is
you.The only one making it an issue is
you(If I'm wrong, & JIMP, zuk, & myself have in fact mentioned npboards as much
as you claim, I'll retract.)
Im sorry you're mad we didn't let it become the pointless 'theists rule' echo-chamber like the one at npboards.
Why apologize for something that isn't true. I'm neither pleased
nor angry with what the R&P forum has become at IAP.
Kinda a stupid, insincere argument (less bans = better admin)
It wasn't my argument, it was a direct answer to Bikerdudes question.
Must you ascribe motive to everything?
anyways if you consider this latest drama started because y'all just couldn't stop pelting us with demands that barney get banned simply because Baldar was.
False.
I never demanded barny's suspension.
Zuk didn't either, nor did JIMP.
One who makes accusations of dishonesty should check themselves prior to accusing.
The issue was addressing a comment Patton made re: forum behavior
& whether or not consistency was being applied.
I like how you sit there trying to act like there wasn't a rant going on already long before it was locked.
There wasn't...that is until you went all froth at the mouth:
http://www.itsallpolitics.com/forum/index.php?topic=1470.0Which is strange seeing as how you and JIMP had resolved matters somewhat on page two of this thread.
My comment notes you attacking JIMP without possibility of reply.
(the thread was locked)
Your dishonesty is showing 2DOH
as is your knee jerking, hyper reflexive desire to ascribe motive.
