Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Even the erstwhile EvilBible forum, which was notoriously difficult to remain a member, I survived right through to the end. The only 'forum', such as it is, which kicked me out was the old Sickipedia, from where I got banned for "spamming" after posting exactly two jokes and nothing else.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
I'll admit my prior experiences on several sciency and technical message boards has really colored my experience here. I'm somewhat oblivious to certain things here viewed as 'bigger' issues, and then some items I have seen hyper-emphasized elsewhere are of small concern here.
AFAIK, this board, for it's size, has a pretty large mod/admin staff too. The MyBB software here is the best user interface I have yet encountered. The now defunct 'Pluck' being the worst, and by an almost incredible degree, too. Another board I would like to be on (motor head kinda place) has software that doesn't seem to be compatible with my laptop (or the prior one I had) although I can lurk there all I want. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
This post is addressed to Stimbo now Cyberman.
Dear Stimbo I really recall that you tried very hard to continue to prevent me from posting owing to your own reason but never telling me, and you succeeded. I am looking for the record of our exchange outside of threads and posts, but in a section where a moderator and a plain poster could talk between themselves. Can you please show me the record? Dear readers, see below the text in bold. Back to Stimbo, is there a board here where plain posters can complain against moderators and administrators and prophets in residence? And I recall that there was some sort of an editor who could delete texts in posts - I could mistaken. But if there are such staffers here, perhaps it is better that when these staffers notice a post that they think texts should be deleted, they should just reply to that post without letting the post come out, but with instruction to rewrite the post and make it properly civil, etc., as to be fit for publishing. And, dear readers here, it is really hard to talk intelligently with you atheists here, because you are always into hatred, anger, and foul language in place of effective communication. And in regard to communication your writing is always into evasiveness from the issue at hand. (June 16, 2017 at 2:07 pm)Mariosep Wrote: Well, thanks a lot for your replies, dear colleagues here.

Hello Mariosep, I have read your complaint and considered it. Here is my response: it is not the position or responsibility of Forum Staff to be your mentor, teacher, father confessor or parent. We are not put on this Earth to make you or others more eloquent, better posters or (dare I say) better people.
Furthermore, while you do not have to like anyone here, it should behoove you to avoid carrying feuds onwards. I recommend you avoid that. The Staff takes great pains to avoid even the appearance of rash judgment - we rely on procedure and consensus to be as fair as possible. I would prefer you restrain your personal dislike of Cyberman, an excellent administrator I might add, from implying a theoretical abuse of power. Slave to the Patriarchy no more
Me and my machinations, eh? Aren't I dastardly?
My name isn't red by coincidence - that's blood.

Incidentally, I have just scoured all the relevant reports and PMs in our database, looking for any and all instances where Mariosep and I interacted on a Staff/user basis. Guess what I didn't find - not even once? Basically, if he has a bee in his baby bonnet about anyone on the Operations level, it's not me. Perhaps he had a dream about me; he's only human.

Your presence here is an annoyance which we tolerate out of regard for free speech. You'd receive much better treatment if you weren't such an obvious tool. |
