Well, alright. I didn’t want to have to do this.
Here’s the actual thing that happened: I made a thread about an item of current events. You dropped by the thread and called me an liar, accused me of having a chip on my shoulder, swore at me, and in general acted like exactly the kind of shit head you’re complaining about in this thread and several others. This was completely unprovoked, I might add; the two of us hadn’t spoken for years. Then, after I responded and met your tone, you edited your posts to make them look more polite, so that I appeared to be the one getting all aggressive for no reason.
Then, after the other people in that thread laughed at you, you starting whining across three separate sections of the forums about how awful the tone is here, and how something had to be done about me. That’s what you did. Everybody here can see your edit history, everybody here can see the original content of your posts, because I quoted them in my replies.
Now, it has been two weeks, and you have done absolutely NOTHING on this forum except pursue this vendetta against me that all began with you being a complete fucking cunt for no reason. At any time you could have started a thread, participated in a thread, done any of the things that you claim to wish this website permitted, but instead, you have done this and only this.
Your behavior is precisely the reason I don’t enforce strict tone or civility on my section. Once there’s strict enforcement of a code, some people will decide they’d rather play silly games and try to get folks kicked off the website instead of actually engaging in discussion. In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been here forever. I was here for the years where a ‘three insults and your gone’ type policy was enforced, and the entire fucking website was people like you starting bitch slap fights over what counts as an insult and what doesn’t, trying to leverage the mods into banning everybody who make you look like a chump in a debate.
Well fuck off, we ain’t going back there. You’re just gonna have to learn to have conversations with people instead of trying to leverage power over them. The irony is, if I was big about enforcing the civility that you say is so important, I would have tossed your ass out of here weeks ago. But no, you are allowed to persist, contributing nothing but bad attitude and petty agendas against people who make you look foolish, and it’s all thanks to the fact that I’m ignoring your advice.
