Off-topic fight thread

Re: meeting morrissey

Every thread I read in this forum seems to descend into a CrystalGeezer vs Skylarker bitchfight. What is the back story here?

Re: meeting morrissey

You weren't 'banned', you were given a 3-day timeout along with !Viva Hate! and Skylarker as you were all continuing to troll each other outside the pigsty. It wasn't that single post that got you that. You can continue on behaving like a victim though, maybe some will buy it.

Because I called Skylarker "Dr. Teeth" outside of the pigsty is the official reason. Dr. Teeth is like the coolest muppet, leader of the Electric Mayhem. Whatever.

Re: meeting morrissey

And yet the man whose name just happens to be in the website address can be repeatedly characterised, with all apparent authority, as 'a piece of shit' and a 'despicable' human being by some and everything is hunky-dory

So you want a rule such as the following?

"You will be censored if you use harshly negative terms such as 'piece of shit' and 'despicable' when speaking your opinion on Morrissey"

I'll fix that for you.

"You will be censored if you use harshly negative terms such as 'piece of shit' and 'despicable' when speaking your opinion on somebody."

Sounds like a reasonable TOS to me. Oh wait I'm on solow.

I don't think even you know what point you're trying to make here.

My point is an old one, but I'll make it again ~ it would seem one may be punished for talking shit about other users, but one can freely lob any obscenity one cares to at the man whose surname adorns the top of every page of this website.

Or, indeed, his hospitalised mother. A new low, wouldn't you agree?

I'm not saying I'm a victim, David. I cited the reason YOU gave me for the timeout. Time/ ban whatever, I was told by a screen I was "banned."

You need to figure out whose on your side. As the administrator when you make the character judgement that I am playing "the victim" it could be deduced that I facilitated you or your staffs help at any point while being "victimized" on solo. I NEVER have reported any post or any posters activities at ANY TIME while on solo. I want to make that perfectly clear and I'd appreciate of you'd clarify that that is the case and your opinion is based on what everyone else sees. Thank you.

Unless it compromises personal information, the reasons for a ban would probably be worth stating. I have asked for greater levels of respect on the forum, and the reasons should go either way, particularly to form a discussion on censorship, but again it rests on personal information

My issue is not with what constitutes a ban. My issue is that David's opinion of me being a victim carries a certain amount of leverage since he is one with insider information. He's entitled to his opinion, I have no problem with the statement itself, but rather that it could be construed that he's forming his opinion based on my behavior behind the scene. I have never asked for favors of the solo staff or displayed myself as a victim. I do not report posts or narc on questionable behavior. That is my issue.

Typing this on an iPhone. Not the best word processor on the world, my last post might've been confusing.

I understand your point, but my request was for objective information in the light of people being banned, and the reasons for it. I hoped that covered your ban as well as the others, but when the answer comes you can reply to that specifically. I'm sure David will reply

When I was banned three days ago, or timed out, whatever, the window said something to the effect of "Everyone take a break for a few days." or something along those lines. I noticed that my blurb and Skylarkers blurb under our screen name said "Timed out". Viva's did not and he posted later that day, I just took it to mean that "everyone" = me and Skylarker. Later the same day I got a PM from David saying I got a 2 point infraction because of the post where I told Skylarker "Keep talking, Dr. teeth." I assumed that was just the straw that broke the camels back in David's eye, there was a lot of bickering going on in a lot of places, I didn't expect him to compile all my possible offenses. Or defenses as the case might be, God forbid one actually BE a victim around here. I try to fight fair. I don't log in as anyone other than CG or log in anonymously. I DO pick fights with assholes, I don't blame David for banning me. But I do want everyone to know that I don't bitch and moan behind the scenes or tattle regarding forum behavior. I deal with it on the forum in front of God and everyone.

 

[CrystalGeezer]

It pissed me off when Skylarker said on main page "Is Betty dead yet?" That shit makes all soloers look like assholes and we aren't. But why put up with that? So Skylarker can look badass and viva can snicker and we all have to slog through "You see this is why solow sucks." Waste of time.

Two points:-

1. I don't doubt your honesty, and I don't see why anyone would

2. I also noticed that !VivaHate! did not have the On Timeout user title throughout the banned period. This may have been a technical glitch. David will have to answer that, but posting seemed to be as you say, agreed
