for god's sake, why is legitimate questioning labelled an 'anti-mike thing'? if you're going to chime in, then at least pay attention. i usually like you, which i have made very, very clear during my time here. i have nothing but respect for you, which i would hope you know. i have asked mike to answer a few questions in the interest of clarity and, yes, admittedly, because i think he's wrong. instead of answering, he ignores me, lies, lies about lying, lies about already answering the questions, and then goes back to ignoring me again. i would love NOTHING MORE than to go back to my normal behavior. all i'm asking for is two minutes of honesty. that's all.
he doesn't even seem to understand why it bothers me. he thinks my whole problem is his moderation (lack thereof) of swst. i don't care about that, i haven't cared about swst in ages. in fact, i PRAISED his moderation toward the end of that debacle. my problem is his repeated insistence that I am responsible for his inadequate moderation there. all i'm asking for is admission that he used me as a scapegoat and continues to do so. it would also be nice if he would stop.
i'll go one further - i admit i've allowed my frustration to goad me into absurd behavior toward mike for way, way too long. i admit that i HAVE to some extent 'harassed, insulted, and stalked' him. i've used him as the butt of every joke i've made since he started claiming his failure to mod swst was my fault. further, i've very carefully studied both the rules and previous moderation throughout the history of the board in order to point out every slip he makes (due to his own frustration) when moderating against me. not that it mattered, considering he simply ignored the fact that he broke the rules repeatedly in making those slips and then ignored my posts pointing them out.
i shot myself in the foot when i helped create the situation which drove jms to leave the board. if that had not happened, i have every confidence that i could have created a situation in which mike had to choose between breaking the rules and being himself moderated by jms, or simply admitting i was not the cause of his failure. yes, this is itself one huge troll and breaks rules and i'm probably putting myself up for banning simply by admitting it. i would not have ever done it if i had not been ignored and ignored and ignored when i asked for an explanation in MULTIPLE threads and in MULTIPLE ims and in MULTIPLE conversations with the other staff. do i have to simply accept the fact that it's convenient for mike to claim i hurt his ability to mod swst when everything i was doing at the time was intended to help with that task? it's not true. i think i've proven that and so does mike, because he continues to refuse to address my questions in every possible way. and yet he CONTINUES to make the claim. he JUST DID IT in the warning thread in an attempt to shut oragahn up. he claimed it was my fault, while at the same time ignoring my pleading for him to explain how that is the case, when i keep showing him why it's bullshit.
so, now, without jms here everything laisulong taught me is admittedly a wash. with mike in sole control, all he has to do is ignore me and break the rules in order to get rid of me and the game is over. i have to resort to simply repeating my questions over and over and hoping that at some point he'll get sick of it and answer them before he permbans me. so i'm sorry if i'm being dull and boring. i already did it the interesting and fun way for so long that even i'm bored of it.
i like this place. i don't want to be thrown out. but i also don't want mike to claim a simple nine post prank which had no perceivable repercussion whatsoever negated his efforts to get rid of swst EVERY SINGLE TIME SOMEONE BRINGS UP THAT FAILURE. is that really so horribly unreasonable?
