Hence the problem, an inability to note how your poe would be perceived all the same.

Dammit, I don't want to be involved in this, I wasn't even that annoyed.

When mods do it, it's a 'joke'. When someone else does it, it is a punishable offense...

A strange 'sense of humour' (to avoid stronger qualifications).

Yeah, his posts were not that way, but his avatar was a syndicalist flag. To see his avatar and read his posts is what really made me think the dude was a complete moron.

Which made the puppet even more effective...man AA was aggrivating

To be precise: it was an extremely hypocritical 'joke'. Ha, ha, ha...

And since you mods treat creating a sock as if it were a criminal offense (in forum land), this 'joke' was no less than organized crime.

Shell should have been open with alei as soon as alei became involved as that couldn't have gone any other way. To then publicly insult alei with private information was, in my mind, unforgivable.

LOL, there really are no rules on this forum. You have the mods who can do what they want, and the members that have to depend on their popularity not to get permabanned.

Its really not that much different than anyother form of government. The top end gets to do what they want and the rules are for everyone else who cant pull the popularity card.

Either way I believe what Tib told me, or at least I want to. I still have issues with Tib and shell for past history, but hey...what can I do? Might as well scream at a brick wall.

Meh. Shit happens. We have soap that can get it out.

I was not allowed to be open with alei. We were not allowed to engage forum members in private with our socks or reveal the joke. Given Alei's propensity for talking shit about me in PMs, I doubt it would have remained secret for long after telling her.

As for whether you find it forgivable or not, I am sure you know me well enough to know that your forgiveness does not concern me. I do not dislike you. I simply do not know you personally enough to give a shit whether you think it was a good idea. Given the nature of that "private" communication and that it was essentially sent to me, I don't see the problem. She insulted me in a PM. I was not going to post it. She lied and said that she had never insulted me and that she thought our issues were squashed, so I posted it. She insulted herself and me. I merely revealed it.

Reminds me of an awesome documentary.

Got a problem with sockpuppets? Well guess what: all of your favorite puppeteers started out using them. Are the performing arts organized crime? How fun!



I will have to remember that I am part of a criminal organization in the future

It is this sort of misinformation and speculation that causes these issues. Mods cannot do whatever they want. We have had mods step down because their behavior was disagreed upon amongst staff. You have been spreading this disinformation, which is why I said you were flaming. If the forum knew the half of what goes down among staff, your tactics would stall dead in the water.

Popularity? Really? What is it with this word and you people? It is quite clear that I am not popular here at all. The only card I can pull is that I actually know what is going on. I don't just pull shit out of my ass.

You should believe him. He has said nothing but the truth in here. The conspiracy theories have obviously stemmed from private conversations among members who have very misinformed opinions on what the staff does when you all aren't looking.
