Thread: Concerning The Vanquishing Of A Certain Dragon

  1. #41
    What makes this melodrama is that it's been dragged out and made a public issue while having no place being such, an in fact would be much more efficiently addressed directly with the people in charge.

    my issue has never been the objection to the sockpuppet claim without sufficiently satisfactory evidence to someone who felt they were friends with the person

    my issue is that he continued to tilt at windmills with such a single-minded pointedness to it even after he was informed, more than once, that the general public would not have those answers and that he should contact the mods directly if he had concerns, and it having been made abundantly clear that the rest of us didn't really care all that much

    it is the dramatic insistence on making a scene that i have an issue with.

    And not unreasonable to not act like he's going to explode every time while talking to him, by taking a stance that seemingly implies that your about to explode on him too.

    You want him to calm down, then calmly tell him to do so. This isn't 4chan, don't act like it is, no matter how hard you act like it is.

    I know. If you want, I'll go talk to him myself. One by one. On Skype, or anywhere else. Is that bad now?

    I also want Haseo freed of course but baby steps
    I'm saying "we should comment on his sheets" because that seems to be the most effective way of getting him over this topic. Coming from personal experience, of course.

    On another note, why was Haseo banned, again?

    But what if I don't read servant sheets? How can I help to remedy this situation?

    We strike for puppets while you're here; it's when you're banned that we immediately clear you out, because otherwise there's not much of a point to banning you. What would you suggest we do otherwise?

    I don't see anyone of the commenters being unreasonable or 'acting like they're about to explode' itt. People are just annoyed, and being annoyed is no crime.

    For being so dumb that he looked like a CV puppet, despite being unfortunately legit. So exactly the same situation that we have here.
    I mean there was the whole foam-at-mouth men's rights tirade too, but sure. Some fun times were had at least.

    So, you don't want to question why Draconic is banned? What, you actually hate the guy? Then put Royd in the ignore list and, better yet, don't visit this thread, much more post on it. It's that simple.

    You think I actually care about what's happening in TM-GD or even post there? No, because I do not concern myself with the specifics of the Nasuverse and it's works. But do I go there and tell people to shut up? No. So I don't go there in the first place. I don't want to hear people being bitterly sarcastic when some newbies get specifics in the Nasuverse wrong, and potentially even get into emberwars over freaking nothing!

    So, if you want him to shut up, don't resort to smug snarkiness and just tell him "Shut up. I don't care about Draconic's ban." Better yet, don't go in this thread and post there if you don't care. So yes, you're hiding it even in a passive-aggressive way, you only think that you're not.

    Except his stance on the issue was made blatantly obvious by him from the start, which is to my knowledge the exact opposite of passive-aggression.

    And as wonderful as it sounds, 'just ignore it if it bothers you' doesn't work in real life, not should it.

    Well this thread is going all sorts of productive places.

    You've been told we're reviewing the case. Other than adding that I don't expect anything to come of this for at least a week due to other staff members' prior RL commitments, I don't think there's any more purpose to holding it open, if this is what comes of it.
