Apology to the Poly Posters

[Krill]

Consider this another thread where we demand a forum to flame in freely

[Asher]

Alright, if being polite is not acceptable on these boards

No one said it was not acceptable.

I'm just pointing out your actions in this thread are not polite. It's an example of tremendous passive aggressiveness that I loathe, actually.

You're welcome to do it, of course, just don't criticize others when you're just as guilty yourself in a different way.

To the Mods & Admins, you have my sympathies. I am also a Mod on other boards and I know how difficult a job it is you have. Good luck with the site, and I hope it is able to turn around becasue I think it shows some great promise with only a few glitches here and there.

Thank-you for the opotunity to participate here. It was much appreciated. I will continue to enjoy the 3 Podcasts. Keep up the good work you are able to do.

You forgot to ask for your ball back.

I suppose I kinda insinuated that point, although you are right. He just needs to show some backbone and follow through by converting into full troll.

Hey Asher, I know what you mean by highhorse, but do you (or anyone else) know where the phrase comes from?

According to random house, it's been a phrase in use since the late middle-ages: 1375–1425.

Oh noes! We've lost a poster whose entire contribution to this site came in the last day.

Corrected.

I have never sent a read respond or be restricted pm.

And yeah I have the title. It's paid for. Please list all the people I've banned. Memory failing,,,, maybe my ego isn't as big as yours. Let's start counting all the contributions you've made to this site. Right, there aren't any.

I still don't get what you get out of abusing staff and admins at the place where you spend a considerable amount of time, it can only be about your ego. Would you be happy if this place ceased to exist for you to prove your superiority?

I will forever miss his moral superiority and naginess.

If I wanted to be nagged, I'd go straight.

That aimed at me or Asher?

It's tough love, rah. I don't want this place to cease to exist (I'd probably buy it up or put up a clone site if it did go under). But the simple fact is the administration on this site has ranged from grossly inept to intentionally arbitrary.

For me it dates back to the MarkG days. When MarkG used to personally attack me and treat me like **** because I was one of the admins of SidGames. That sort of set the tone for everything else and carried into the new administration.

I think the results really speak for themselves, anyway. I don't arbitrarily insult admins, in fact I thought I was doing quite well in getting along with the lot of you lately (with the notable exception of the Locutus situation, but he ended up apologizing to me so it clearly wasn't all my fault), but I'm also not afraid to call it as I see it, especially when that poor decision making directly impacts me.

If you surround yourself with a bunch of polite "yes men" you end up with a George W. Bush.

Edit: Here's a good example of me being ruthless and insulting admin. http://www.apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?t=184658

Krill, aimed at asher.

Asher. One question. Have you ever done anything here that you think you later should have apologied for.

That sums it up. I guess it's all about you. Nothing to do with ego at all.

[Krill]

Damnit, I need to abuse the mods more. I got to call you all retards before, can I do it again? The polycasts are retarded after all, sucking up server bandwidth without giving anything back to the community.

Hey, what a minute, maybe all of the polycast downloads are the reason the servers are so fvcked recently?

This is a family site.

That sums it up. I guess it's all about you. Nothing to do with ego at all.

So because I get pissed at the admin's admitted double standard towards me it represents a big ego?

I do not understand why you're trying to piss me off. My relationship with you and Ming has been pretty good recently, but you're trying your best to rock that boat.

This is what I mean about poor decision-making.

[rah]

I think you've already rocked the boat enough recently.

And yes our relationship isn't bad. WHICH IS WHY, I was just trying to talk a little common sense into you for the good of the site. Quite futile I guess so I'll stop. I know you won't change a lot, but I was just praying that you would tone it down a bit. It's not like that's never been discussed before. It's not so bad in the OT, but when you take it into the ontopic arena, people just don't understand it and are quite offended by it.

Krill, you're going to have to step it up a notch. (please don't)

If you guys agree to help keep Ben off my case (so he stops talking smack about me while I've him on ignore), I'll do my very best to tone it down (genuinely).
