I.T Manager (to Developer): Experts say humor on the job relieves tension in this time of down-sizing so. . . .Knock, Knock. Developer: Who's there? Manager: Nachu Developer: Nachu who? Manager: Nachu anymore.
Where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master. ~ Ayn Rand

Don't you have a gated community to get back to? I'm sure they find every joke you make indiscriminately funny.

Well, thank you. I started posting in Soapbox 1.0 until Oakman decided that I was insufficiently conservative to be worth talking to. He also made this decision for a number of other people without their knowledge, he being the ultimate arbiter of what opinions people are allowed to be exposed to.

I know you take any suggestion that you're wrong as intolerably inflammatory, but I did not intend it so. I'm going to ask you again: why did you alter the thread?

I stopped bothering with that place a long time ago. Welcome back to the kindergarden.

I altered nothing. I deleted remarks of yours, in exactly the same manner and for the same reasons that Chris deleted remarks belonging to, among others, me, i.e. because he deemed them inappropriate. That's one of the things that moderators do. They eliminate posts that violate the guidelines of the forum. In you case, you were warned, more than a dozen times that your posting would have consequences. You were told by a number of the other members of the forum that you were behaving badly. You chose to ignore those warnings and are now whining because you got tossed out on your ear. I have now exhausted all the time I have this month to waste on explaining to trolls why they are not welcome in SB 1.0.

Your explanations are bullshit - you deleted many of your own posts as well. You deleted the part where I allegedly 'insulted' you. A number of other members? Alan Burkhart told me that I was behaving badly, but he's just like you, seeing me as somehow below him just because he's roamed the earth for longer. The least you could do is give me an actual explanation. Every statement you've made thus far is just pompous evasion.

By the way, dumbass, you may wish to review the definition of 'alter'.

And just for the record, I did not post anything inflammatory, extraneous or off-topic. Normally I wouldn't bother pointing this out, but since you're obviously completely idiotic apparently I need to. All I did was point out that you failed to understand a simple article at its simplest level; I'm sorry you felt humiliated by this, but I'm not sorry I did it. It just seems I underestimated your hypocrisy and spitefulness.

It's also worth noting that I did not violate the guidelines of the forum, at least not in their most obvious interpretation. It's clear now that you deliberately made the rules as nebulous as possible so that you could still exert whatever arbitrary control you chose under the guise of moderation. It's up to a moderator to enforce rules, not act with capriciousness and impulse. It's odd that I should have to point this out to someone so utterly and astonishingly brilliant that Mensa would beg on their knees for their patronage. :rolleyes:

Which part of being told to stop being a troll by Alan, Rob and me did you not understand? You are right that I did not enforce the rules equally. No-one else has been given so many chances to change the way they were behaving. No-one else was allowed to promise to begin posting in a responsible and adult manner as many times as you were. (The rule which was stated, repeated, and enforced in other cases, is three warnings and you're out.) You chose to interpret my leniency as my "picking on you" by trying to point out where you were going wrong, and always, within a few weeks returned to your smarmy and inflammatory posting style. Well, I finally understood that you couldn't or wouldn't learn how to behave in a manner that showed respect for the other members of the forum and chose to post as if you were having one of your cat fights with CSS. And I realized that you felt you had a right to insult anyone, and inform the rest of us that we were stupid and arrogant for not agreeing with your rather juvenile view of the world. In other words, that you were a born and bred troll. A behavior you continue to exhibit as you post attack after attack on my moderating a private forum in a public one where the rules require no flame wars and no personal attacks. You are a spoiled brat who obviously believes that the rules were meant for everyone else. As for your repeated requests to be allowed back into Soapbox 1: not in this lifetime. No-one who had an ounce of dignity or pride would beg to return to a forum he has been thrown out of. You may continue to desperately try to rewrite the history of what happened, in this thread. I shan't be reading it, troll.

What part of Mike Mullikin's "Stop being a douche to Ravel" did YOU not understand?

I assume you're referring to my attempts to talk about something actually interesting.

The most disrespect ever shown in that forum was you towards Stan Shannon.

I never said that. It's a pity you've removed my ability to prove it. I guess you enjoy putting words in my mouth, huh.

So why did you delete your own posts, huh? I've asked you this repeatedly, but you've never answered.
