Rule Change (New Staff Power)
RE: Rule Change (New Staff Power)
Last time I was apologizing I got immediately banned, ironically enough. But here goes.

I hold no grudges whatsoever. I think a lot of you are wrong on a lot of issues and you're being too sensitive about some stuff and it's at your own expense that you engage in over-protective behaviour as you do. You are irrational a lot of times and tend to colour everything with your emotions, unable to think clearly about things. I hold none of this against you, as I know better than to blame you for it. I'm sure I do the same thing. Which is why it's best to point each others' problems and issues out.

One of the things I think you're wrong about is banning trolls. Another is being a little too exclusive as a community. Yet another is lacking the ability to emotionally detach yourself from your own actions and study them in that manner. These and many other topics I'm sure I'll get the chance to cover in due time. For now, let us take a breath of fresh air and forget about the whole thing. At least for a while. See how that goes for a change.

It's just a suggestion. If you disagree, well that's too bad. Feel free to continue to attack me knowing very well how you are free to do so and I am not, literally.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I'm not even bothering to comment, beyond pointing out that my lack of comment shouldn't be taken as agreement; but that responding in any other way is completely pointless and likely to be interpreted as inflammatory. So don't read this post.
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'm not even going to bother commenting unless you include this comment which is merely a comment to comment that my lack of any other comment besides this comment is due to the fact that this penguin's bullshit isn't worth commenting on.

Oh look EP! A cactus. Makes an excellent seat don't you think?

You'd probably better go ahead and say what you like - if you actually held anything back. Doesn't look like you intend to be anything but cancerous. Like most of the members, I'm here for a good time. If this is how you intend to use the forums, the new rule seems tailor made for you. May you live long enough to mature, gain perspective and some wisdom. You're just a pup.

I am such a nice, reasonable fellow.

Epic's ass -- that was a fucking brilliant deconstruction.

Where was the apology? That read like a barrage of insults.
