But he is being correct by his own rules. Some people are just not seeing it maybe because they don’t want to. Unfortunately, and I may be wrong here, if more people who cared about her could actually see things a bit from his side, they could be more helpful to her instead of enabling her by thinking she’s right and he’s wrong. By his rules as they stand, she DID break them.
lol There isn’t too much bias within that statement, phoneutria.
Well, in that case, Lys maybe would want to set up her own forum and then she could truly BE correct by her rules. She also might come to realize the beauty of certain rules. Even Satyr has some over there doesn’t he?
The fact that there is a particular clause, an Exception, in that excerpt I included in my post to Aussen, in that thread, does show that Carleas is, in fact, not incorrect by his rules or in banning her because of the reasoning set up with that rule.
As I said, I have nothing against her personally as I really do not know her. So if it were up to me, I’d let her back in but the reality IS that by Carleas’ standards, she did break the rule and I am also capable of seeing as a result of that ruling and because of her antics in here,
the intelligence behind them (Carleas’ ruling). Maybe you cannot and others cannot. if I couldn’t see that at all, if I couldn’t “get it”, I could not have gone into that thread and posted anything. I know that things are not always so black and white but sometimes they are if people choose to really see it. I don’t really know Carleas at all or much at all so I am as unbiased where he is concerned as I am where she is concerned. Not so sure you can say the same thing.
I have only this to say here - one needs to be very certain about just how free a society they would want.
That could be different things to different people. It’s funny, but you don’t see all the grey areas and problems within that statement.
Nice talking with you phoneutria. I can understand how you feel though at the same time I’m not sure I can. If someone I liked a lot was banned for whatever reason perhaps I couldn’t be sure how I would react. But then again, loyalty doesn’t mean blindness. I might stay by this person’s side while at the same time helping him or her to understand that in my book, according to how the rules are set up - they were still wrong. Being a friend doesn’t mean being an enabler, phoneutria. You may be being totally honest in your assessment but it doesn’t mean that you are right. You are just seeing with different eyes and perhaps through the eyes of a friend, which is admirable but still not always real.
