Sigh.

Dont be too hard on E_N. Yeah he said some ****ed up **** to poepl here and there but really, he just lacks social skills.

in order to ensure that he does not ‘take more matters into his own hands’.

Has he been screwing around with our turns or something?

[Nubclear]

It was a *tad* more than that.
If he can anger GooglieGod....Don't you think it was more than just being an ass?

[Zero]

[Nubclear]

Something not very nice

I got some PMs about this, so I came back to have a look and see any way I could help out. To say honestly, there's nothing really fruitful I can contribute.

I'm with Zero on this issue.

However, from what I've heard Enigma has taken some things to inapproiate levels, crossing one of the major rules of online communities that usually gets people banned.

From what I understand he threatened someone on the real life level? Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that. That's a big no no and at a MUD I used to play at that would get people banned (although since most of them were kids they got unbanned after a month). What made it extra scary is Enigma seems be strongly focused on whatever he does. Sort of like me I guess, but nowadays I'm careful what I say. I used to hurt people by blurting out the first thought that entered my mind.

I don't think anyone should be blamed for over-reacting. Neither do I think Enimga should be blamed since I believe personality difficulties are often resolved through making serious mistakes. It's the stupid things I've done that have shaped a large portion of my personality.

If you want to know about mistakes, I started a minor forest fire by mistake at camp when I was 14. Basically the group I was in was flicking matches and I decided to learn how and join them. It was fortunate that the fire services put the fire out before it spread and caused serious property damage. I'm not sure who's match started the fire, but the camp coordinators decided it was likely mine. After that I learnt to think carefully of consequences before I do things even if they seem like a good idea at the time.

I'm sure everyone else has similar stories, although some would rather not admit to it and some aren't obvious mistakes. Anyway to put this issue into prespective think of some of the things you've done. That's what I try to do whenever I start looking down at someone, remember that I've screwed up too and whatever they've done doesn't always look that bad.

Also while saying that Enigma shouldn't be blamed, I believe such situations should still be taken seriously.

There should always be consequences. Rather, by putting things in prespective you don't make a fool of yourself by over reacting and if you need to make a decision you know that you doing so with a level head.

[Kody]

For the record I could be wrong, but I don't think he did what he claimed.

[Frankychan]

Can you point me in the direction where he claimed something? Or was this in PM? If it was, I'll drop the matter.

I'm thinking that I shouldn't have tried to use his style to talk to him. I was thinking that by letting him concentrate his negative energy toward me he would feel less need to fight others. Also I was thinking that this way he would feel what others would feel when he did the same thing to them. But I should have realize that my aggravation would provoke his long buried anger and in turn causing everybody criticising him and him feeling surppressed by others and thus more fighting back more violently. I didn't intend this. My mistake is that I didn't realize that I have adopted an approach that would amplify conflicts.

The thing that got me worried a little is his talking about his family. I agree with Kody that it is more likely he was just trying to make an impression and/or he was simply trying to vent his long buried emotions, but I'm still worried for him. Perhaps I've been oversensitive on this issue in the past couple days. I think he is just a frustrated young man that needs understanding. He doesn't need aggravations. I will change the way I treat him and try harder to understand him.
