So, someone did delete my posts. And the Poly Admin didn't have the balls to tell me.

Auto-da-fé? What's an auto-da-fé?

It's what you oughtn't do, but you do anyway.

'bout damn time!

ACK!

Looks like I'm in the minority opinion here, but I hope Dale doesn't get permabanned.

If I took seriously every death threat or threat of violence made against me on internet forums, I'd be an even bigger Drama Queen than Asher, especially when said "threat" is made from the cozy distance of a couple continents away.

Seriously? LOL

That's pretty funny.

And by the way, I'm google stalking everyone who has posted in this thread so far. Scared yet? Sheesh.

Dale's contributions to this site and CIV in general should count for something in the final decision.

Somehow I think he will choose self exile to a site that must not be named

While I think what he did was wrong, yes, some here are taking it way to seriously. (which amuses me a bit considering some of the crap they've tossed around)

[Velociryx]

Total agreement. And if he DOES choose self exile, then 'poly just lost another one of their star gaming contributors to the competition, and that's a pity, since this is still a gaming site.

everyone.

I do chuckle at a lot of the complaints about unfair treatment. A lot of discussions occur to try to keep it fair, (in areas that even GT didn't have access to, so while I really like GT, he doesn't always know what he's talking about) Since they are discussions among a group of people, we don't always all agree and most importantly we don't always get it right in everyone's opinion (which is impossible)

Yeah just remember you and your Brother dont get it right either

For the record, areas I was privy to heard discussions, nothing being publicized about specifics, but do remember most everything, again, whipping boys are favored as well as sacred cows for being ostricized or protected, its human nature..................

My point is as it has been all along, this is your site, you do as you see fit, hide behind this scab theory if you choose but bottom line your brother has shared on many occasions and we all take it as medicine,like it or lump it, your site your rulz

By the way, Asher while having the ability to be irritating, is called out for such.

Your brother is the same but hes an owner so he can do what he likes, its all good props to you folks, your circus you conduct as you see fit.

Its funny to you about unfair treatment, see this is what I was talking about, you just confirmed what I was getting at...

For the record rah, I wouldnt say if I didnt know, so remember that my reasonable one, its fact if I said it is.

I have no reason to lie or embellish, and you just confirmed.

But just remember whatever Asher did, he didnt do what Dale did and again, just sharing.

Glad we can speak even though what I just said amiounts to another post and nothing more, for its only my opinion and you folks will do what you will.

Just curious rah, if this had been another person, say one who was a staff but hacked into the system, and didnt do the ++++ contributions that Dale did, would they be treated the same, or would they get their cannoli whacked off?

I am just curious, as in earlier posts I shared with all, dont be surprised if nothing happens at all, because of this very reason, but then I dont know everything, just enough to see the writing on the wall

I agree Dale has been a very diligent contributor and have enjoyed his works personally.

But this is not about his works, its about what he did with his entrusted authority and what the site did to cover it up or sweep it aside.

Heck, this has been a great thread, many here have spoken their peace and most probably, if you folks allw this thread to remain open, will simply die off over the holiday weekend..........

But maybe not?

Hmm the main point of my post was that we don't always get it right. So we agree.

The rest of your post was kind of incoherent so it's tough to respond point by point but......

I do not condone Dale's action and have been pretty clear about that so again, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

But yes, I'm glad we can discuss these things.

[rah]

And Judges traditionally have been able to take into consideration positive things when sentencing.

And you infer we did nothing to punish DALE when he was punished quickly and harshly.
We just didn't feel the need to publicly humiliate him due to his contributions to the site.
SO please don't abuse us for showing some compassion. Even if you don't agree with it.

[Solver]

To reiterate, Dale has actually been banned twice now. He was banned after this PM to Asher and he also had a two-week ban, along with a removal from staff, for the original deletion of Asher's posts. Which is a very severe punishment, considerably more so than anyone has recently received.

[Grandpa Troll]

Im glad the response has been made

Kudos to those who did so

Hope I am clear I am g-l-a-d this issue has been handled.

T-h-a-n-k you Poly Admin team

I would never abuse you rah, your the reasonable one

Glad you are so forthright and now hopefully we can all move forward....mission accomplished

[Wezil]

I fail to see the punishment in being banned from a site that doesn't work anyway.

[rah]

I fail to see how you can post at a site that isn't working.

[Wezil]

It took a half an hour (since you ask).

Poly has bigger problems than Dale.

The allowed abuse of "whipping boys" (which last August you bluntly conceded is allowed) should be looked at as well.
