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

    I'm man enough to tell people off face to face.

    Believe me -- if I wanted to do what Dale did, I could've long, long ago. Without admin problems. Poly was on a security-hole-ridden version of vBulletin for many years. Versions that have widely known and trivially exploitable holes, including SQL injection exploits. All it would've taken was a couple "drop table" statements and massive chaos would ensue.

    The difference between Dale and myself is I actually know what I'm doing and don't need to abuse the powers to get to people if I want to.

    I think the reason Dale may so sensitive to me is going back a few months where I basically told him all he was doing was toying with somebody else's game, not creating his own game. It really affected him at the time and he kind of went off on me there because he fancies himself some kind of high-class video game designer. When I started prodding him about specifics about what he knows it was clear the emperor had no clothes.

    I'll grant you that his mod to Colonization makes the game playable, but his changes were all common sense changes that really demonstrates how awful Firaxis is these days more than how good he was.

      In what way? I'm assuming you don't mean in the usual way they talk about me (What do we do with him??).

      • As for Dale, I won't join the chorus but I will say this, life has some hard lessons. The only way to make this a good thing is to use it to grow.

          Asher

          I mean on several fronts

          But specifically your name was brought up as a possible help...

          My post was counter to what I thought was critique you for not "Putting your money where your mouth is"

          I have allways respected your knowledge and your help, many times for me

          But as for Poly, I think too much anymosity and too proud of admin to admit you could help and assist

          Pride cometh before the fall Brother Asher

          Sad this has come about

          But an atomosphere of acceptance is in itself permission to carryon

          Its been admitted it was knowledge and admitted no one told you

          Now, will it be admitted about other things behind your back?

          Probably not....................

          The admin want things run there way, not the right way but there way

          Like a real life Civ game unfolsing in a website

          pathetic people playing pathetic games

          sad

          poly could be much much more

          But, I fully understand, ya dont like it leave policy they proudly display in deed,action and word

            He definitely stuck the dismount.
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat.

                Are you willing to prove it?

                Will you now go to the Admin and offer yourself as a piece offering and allow Asher a + 1 in healing?

                  Why do you think he was on my ticket? I wouldn't let any hetero on the bill to ruin all the hard work I've done.

                    I really do want to help them out here in fixing their tech problems. I do understand why they are hesitant given our history, but I can work past it if they can.

                    I'd even be willing to sign a legal liability waiver, where I agree to pay Dan X amount of money if I ****ed something up intentionally. Could even have a Poly lawyer look it over if they wanted.

                    I've no intention of ****ing the site up, I just want to fix the damned problems as they drive me crazy.

                                You weren't on my cabinet because you are a legit threat. I need to be in control and surrounded by a cadre of incompetent underlings -- the Bush Doctrine. It's how things get done.
