DQ is like an innocent in my view. Great guy, interested in what he's interested in and that's it. One of his mods starts treating people like crap and there's little control that I can see, though there might be some behind the scene. I like DQ though I don't think he can really step up and shut down abuse, it's just not in him. Good guy though. Wtf he was thinking when Ming was made an admin is beyond me.

Rah is one of my favorites, a really decent guy. I feel for him that he had to spend 9 months in the womb with Ming. I'm wondering if he was actually born or banned from it. To his credit he supports his bro, I wonder if the reverse is true. Not saying it isn't, just wondering. Rah is a guy I could easily call friend. He also does stuff like this thread rather than just turning a flamethrower on everyone and patting himself on the back for it.

Ming...well instead of replaying it all here I'll just say that we don't get along. It's better now but I'll not be turning my back on him anytime soon...which ties into wondering if Rah can rely on him. That's really none of my business though, just what I wonder based on personal experience. Ming is about Ming being Ming and that's really all there is in my view.

Lucutus is interesting. Obviously talented, that talent doesn't extend to dealing with trolls. He gets played easily and comes back tough which just covers him in the same mud. Then people look at him and say, jeez, he's dirty too. The question is, is he? I'm not convinced of that and hope he learns to deal with trolls without getting involved personally. If the troll then pushes him harder to get reaction ...it looks better when the banning occurs. Luc is in the catbird seat but fights in the gutter, which looks really bad.

Solver... I'm adding Solver to the list because I believe he's part of the solution. Though he's never liked the OT I think he's coming to learn more that it can be a good place to be, even if he has other stuff he'll do first. I've always had good dealings with him, though not many. Solver can be reasonable which is better than some.


Apolyton is slowly dieing. That's what needs to be reversed and I see this thread as a positive that could offset the huge negative downside this site has built up over the years. A negativity drain if you will.There's alot of different stories here. Lets get them out and not be afraid of discussion.

Now, read, respond or don't, thanks.

Some more gripes:
1. Is Grandpa Troll still attaching images to every ****ing post? Can't you stop that somehow.

Well, it is a must have, and just for you...

I would like to point out something you would find interesting, can ya get a grip{e} around that?

I forget why Drake left. Was it in protest of an Asher ban? I really miss Drake

Yeah, my concern about banning Asher is the Agathon-Asher dynamic. One keeps the other in check...without one the other becomes utterly obnoxious and unbearable. This means you can ban neither or ban both. I'm in favour of the latter approach

Why should I be banned? I don't break the rules (at least not very often). The fact that you don't like what I post is irrelevant.

Seems he was perma-banned for posting a PM or something similar.

No, he deliberately got himself banned in response to Asher's ban a while ago (the other one that caused a big stink).

That doesn't narrow it down much.

Sure, deny everything.

It's water under the bridge now as it was many years ago (7 years I think...) but I was just curious.

I tried starting a Dead Pool and the thread was deleted and all discussion suppressed. All I ever knew was that someone in authority at Poly found it "offensive" and had it pulled. I never did find out who that someone was. I thought maybe you were in a confessing sort of mood...

Back on topic? Have people been overly complimentary in this thread? I can't imagine such.
