[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

You win. You have the last word. Hail Ming.

[Ming]

Then stop bringing it up. You seem to be the one that has issues here.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

The last owner didn't listen, particularly to being asked to back off.

Let it drop, man. Nothing's at stake here but our egos. We're not even arguing about moderation anymore. Let's let it drop.

[Ming]

You have a weird take on real life events... Plus you have no clue on the conversations I had or when they happened.
You were no king maker, not even close... but if you want to keep living in your fantasy world, feel free.
And you are the one that keeps bringing it up... for example, posting your silly link like it means anything. It doesn't.
I'm just stating a simple fact. I own the site.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

I've wanted to do that every time you've asserted your ownership to me or anyone else for over a year now. I own a forum, too -far from a police state, btw, you should lurk a little before saying silly things like that- and it was my idea to bring in Solver and make you owner. It's not like there was anyone else, and I wasn't interested. Try reading past the first post, and note the dates before you start about children's fantasies.

Can we let this round drop? I'll take a tie; I don't care.

[Ming]

Then what was the purpose of posting the link?

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

I guess the insecure have to try to have their measuring contests. I really don't want to be in one of your little slap-fights.

[Ming]

I guess the children have to play their little fantasy games

If it's clear to you, then why are you still whining about it.
This isn't a democracy... while some may not have like it, others didn't care, and some enjoyed it.
And with the differences in opinion, I'll do what I think is right since I do own this site and kept it from disappearing.
I"m sorry you disagree...

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Oh, you saw the disingenuously taunting PMs daring me to ban him? What you like and don't is all that matters? The latter has been clear for a very long time.

I didn't start that thread, and I certainly didn't put Wezil up to it, or AAHZ to chip in - go tell them what they want doesn't count some more. I was just calling your attention. I don't feel all that strongly about it, and would have let it lay there otherwise.

[Ming]

This isn't the old days anymore... Things have changed.
Again, how hard is it to go to page two to find the thread you are interested in.
One poster even PM'ed and said he enjoyed the drunken rants...
To each their own

[N35t0r]

I would expect at least a "read, respond or be restricted" pm.

You got that!

[Ming]

First... I saw it in action, and I just laughed at a drunk MWHC. He's done it before, and will do it again just like others have.
I didn't see it as a nuisance. It's a shame that some people have to get that panties tied into knots about it.
He hurt/broke NOTHING. He was having fun and if people had to go to page two to find something they wanted to post in, so what.
Again, this is not a police or nanny state. Please remember that.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

No, I don't think so.

I wasted several hours trying to talk him down, and there's strong complaints from two people. Give me permission to send drunks home for the rest of the evening when they're being an especial nuisanc, to be lifted in the morning, is all I'd advocate, absent any of the sort of rule-breaking you tend to do something about. Or you do it. I'm easy.

It's page three or more, as he had the entirety of page two tubered around mid-day yesterday after the morning bumps.

And remember what I said about respect - this is nothing to be rude to me in public over, sir.
