So, I get accused of some hidden meaning. Cool, there is a hidden meaning but it’s really none of your fucking business as I said what I wanted to say. I was making light of something but I am not required to explain to anyone what I am talking about.
I have my ties with this board. I utilize email and discuss things that I see as wrong with the mods and admins via email. I do what I can to be a good part of this board.
I also get accused of yet another protection of a troll, not a former troll whom the mods and admins appreciated his apology but one that blatently makes his presence known but tries to buck the system. This was over a simple “Email me” comment. This person not knowing what the hell I was talking about. If I had had an email address I wouldn’t have made that comment in the thread.
Look people, if you try to read into every damn thing I write you may as well take out a journal and attempt to figure it all out. I open up to the things that are important to me and close up when the situation calls for it.
If you don’t like my comment, kiss my ass, it’s none of your business anyway and it was posted in MPSIMS for God’s sake. Lighten up.
TC, you know how I blahblahblah, but even I have to agree with you on this one. You wimmenfolks need to discover punching walls or people as a substitute for bithiness.
FWIW, techchick, I’m completely behind you on this. I was going to e-mail you about it, but I think it’s better said in public. (That, and I get one post closer to 1203, and get my sig back! :p)
I really think this all stems from what you believe the definition of “is” is.
What I’ve never understood is why every troll is labelled as yet another version of Concrete. Heck, a month ago I was even accused of being him! People, there are a lot of assholes in the world. they’re not always the same ones popping up every time.
The problem is, I am underhandedly being accused of things that may or may not be there. The main issue hit the fans in July and it’s almost November. To the rest of them, “get over it”.
My other point kind of mirrored Mr. Cynical’s response in a different manner. It really doesn’t matter if I had a hidden meaning or not. What matters to me is the accusations I get with regards to situations like trolls.
BTW, I don’t understand what you mean by “is”.
Did I ever say anything about you or your posts? Nope, as a matter of fact you are just another face in the crowd to me. So please explain.
Yeah, but after one pops up in at least 20 incarnations, you start expecting more. Lets see if I can get 20 of them:
jayburner
jebus
grimhacker
lloyd
m2lepton
yamen runner
bedboy
bedboy4
bedboywhoforgothispassword
concrete

Damn, that’s all I can find. Plus there’s the fact that he’s also done his pathetic act at other message boards (ars technica and hardwarecentral, I believe), and mentions over at Fathom that he intends to continue getting new names and trolling over here. Perhaps we are also trying to convince ourselves that there aren’t actually multiple people out there that are this dumb.
I’ve only been here for a month and a half. I’m not going to judge you by what you did in July. Just like I’m not going to judge Silo by what others have mentioned he’s done in the past. There are way too many things going on in the forum right now for me to waste time sorting through the last year and a half of posts. I’ll judge you by now.
So I don’t know the argument to which you refer. If you defended someone that you didn’t believe was a troll, then that’s fine. I certainly can’t fault you for sticking up for what you believe in…especially if the rest of the crowd is against you.
BTW, My comment wasn’t about you, it was a joke on Clinton’s deposition. At one point, he asked what Starr’s definition of “is” is.
We all have leftovers we’re dealing with, but I flat reject comfy blanket catgories.
Differences of opinion are not evil or personal!
I repeat: clicque-thinking, second-guessing, troll-hunting and innuendo harm all here. Mob rule is ugly.
Refer back to the OP cited: the administration here works, mostly because they’re veteran Dopers. They know the place, the ethic and the atmosphere. They aren’t perfect or omnipresent, but they’re denizens who do a damned fine job keeping the place liveable.
That’s all I ever said. Why was it dragged into the Pit and made controversial?
*TIME ELAPSED SINCE I QUIT SMOKING:
Six months, three weeks, one day, 4 hours, 58 minutes and 54 seconds.
8208 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,026.03.
Extra time with Drain Bead: 4 weeks, 12 hours, 0 minutes.
You put me in a light that is unfavorable. I never once said the mods or admins were unfair. I never said anything to imply that, yet you pulled this comment from somewhere.
My little comment brings you, apparently, to believe I feel otherwise. I take exception to this as if you say as much others may believe the same. Given you don’t know the facts and I emailed you about a few of them you still wrote the little I said to be of no value in your reply.
As a mod on another forum I have a small idea of what it takes to deal with less desirable people. I also know that I love the SD and will do what it takes to make this a happy place (outside The Pit). But your comment says otherwise, your commment screams that I am against the mods and admins, which is crap. This is what bothers me.
I am not sitting here and trying to ream someone so they have another asshole, that is not my intention here and I think you know it. I do believe though, had I brought this up in MPSIMS the thread would turn into a fist fight. This is not my intention.
My intention is air out some of the things I think and feel without it being a gun fight.
So this is The Pit, not all Pit threads need to have “fuck you and fuck your momma” in it. So please get that idea out of your mind if that is what you are thinking, that is not my intention.
Yes I do believe airing out differences can be done in a civil manner once in a while. In the interest of the OP in MPSIMS I decided it was best to post this over here knowing people here…
Well, Tech’ems m’dear, keep in mind that there’s been a huge fucking amount of negative atmosphere on the Boards (I just finished going through the GD Moderation thread, and it fucking scared me), so I really don’t blame Veb for reading too much into a vague comment.
But, on the other hand, what’s the point in being vague if people are going to insist that you get more specific?
Anyway, just a general plea to everyone… try to give people more benefit of the doubt!!
SPOOFE hun the thing is I am one of the first to discuss things of a negative nature with the mods and admins here if I see it happening.
I say one thing, okay several things(which was kind of a fucked up deal all together and I wish it would go away, the thread that is) regarding a friend of mine and all hell breaks loose. A few months later I make a call to someone to email me and I get accused for troll hugging THEN I make an off the wall remark and it becomes something along the lines of “well if you have a beef with the mods then do something about it” as that is what I read into it…Well I have!
I am sorry but this kind of pisses me off.
Hey that’s what I read into this so if they choose to read shit into my posts I can certainly do the same. At least read into things that don’t make sense to me.
I made a simple remark and it became a major issue with several members in that thread.
Like I said, it doesn’t matter if I had a hidden meaning behind it or not, it’s nobody’s business what was implied or not in MPSIMS. Shit I see all kinds of inuendoues (sp) here but in this thread I am singled out because of my past. I think it’s bullshit especially when I am doing what I can to help the boards regardless of what others think…
I have done my fair share of punching walls and all it did was cost me money, back in my teens…trust me I was the locker, car, wall puncher of all my friends. If I was pissed something was compromised. Did nothing for me but cost me money that my father took from my allowance way back when.
As for people, not my style. Much easier to lash out with words that sting but one barely knows it. That is poetry my friend, poetry.
Then again there’s drinking like a fish…ah a nice cold beer and football to get out your frustrations. “That fucking ref called that play like a little school girl!”
No need to be sorry at all. I mean, hell, there’s been a lot of shit going down in the past few weeks/months involving you, and IMHO you’ve managed to deal quite well (at least, from what you’ve let on to the Boards in general). Give 'em hell, m’dear.
Want me to send you a few dozen sheets of drywall? You can lean those up against a tree or something and smash away.
