*shakes head* I feel for you, Ming. It's hard for me to believe that folks can get that riled up over online issues. Heh. I shouldn't be, though. It's human nature at its worst.

And that's just the stuff he knows about.

How stupid do you think we are?

Absolutely. Take the iPod thread, for instance. That was blatant trolling of UR if I've ever seen it!

Then there's UR's own Times Square error thread where he made a concerted effort to troll me.

No one is buying this, Agathon. UR was not the victim, he was the aggressor. He repeatedly closed threads he didn't like, for no other reason than that. People start getting sick of it and demand action, and you turn around and blame the people he abused his power on for this.

UR retired because he probably realized how bad a mod he was, or the administration asked him to step down. You just know MarkG doesn't have the balls to come out and admit I was right when I protested his original appointment.

If Markos and Dan are having problems finding an Asia-based mod, why not find one who's awake early morning time USA, or European? That greatly widens the pool. Better yet, an Indian one! Middle Eastern! The possibilites are limitless in a world of 6.5 billion people!

The world's your oyster, Markos and Dan!

It was said that United States Navy Admiral Hyman G. Rickover told a subordinate that used the royal we: "Three groups are permitted that usage: pregnant women, royalty, and schizophrenics. Which one are you?"; similarly, Mark Twain extended this privilege to "people with tapeworms".

I know Asher´s not royalty and I´m pretty sure he isn´t pregnant, that only leaves two options...

I think I speak behalf on most people here who aren't buying his excuse that this has nothing to do with UR being a terrible mod, and his tyranical actions against me are the principle causes of this. It happened just days after the latest fiasco.

By the way, my usage is included under the term "pluralis modestiae". It is to be distinguished from Pluralis Majestatis...

[Asher]

To add to the coincidence, a day before this happened I sent a lengthy PM to DanQ criticizing UR's actions and MarkG's inaction to correct it.

A day later this thread pops up, and DanQ replies to my PM with a link to this saying "Regarding the UR issue: ". Unrelated? Don't patronize me. Grow a pair.

UR's actions against Asher were for the most part justified. Someone ought to permaban him. The site is better when he's not here.

[Asher]

They were absolutely not justified, you just don't like me because you look like a twelve year old fanboy every time you foolishly get into a debate with me about technology.

LOTM would make a fine mod.

Knowing MarkG, Agathon will be the next mod. Followed by CivNation.

If they made me a mod, the only reason would be to get you to leave.

[Asher]

That's why they appointed UR.

If you recall correctly, UR was appointed right after I spoiled your Mac orgy.
