Event This site is getting worse.

Noooo.

We were going to SAY we were going to contact them, but not actually contact them...

HUGE difference...

It still comes off as a threat to try to get him fired.

This thread is like a bad dream. or maybe it's the fever talking. The good news is, I'll probably forget this later today when I've crashed and try to go to sleep again.

 

[julius]

That's great. If you hadn't gotten help and you acted like him does that make you fair game?

Out in the real world it did.

That's one perception.

Or another is I was looking to take his BS games to another level since he wouldn't back off of me.

I still remember my first encounter with him. He insulted me for starting a thread. I'm sure he was kidding, but I had no clue who he was and that he was kidding. I responded telling him basically he isn't the boss of me and Ill do what the fuck I want.
His response? Lighten up francis. If you don't like it, ignore me. He never once went on the up and up and was like, he man don't worry about me, i'm just kidding.

Again, He puts himself in these positions by not being on the up and up when someone voices their annoyance with his online persona.

Regardless of whether I think im being a dick or not, if someone tells me im being a dick, ill back off. Its called respect. A few around here give zero of that And have zero accountability for their own behavior.

Ive said it a million times on here. Not everyone is the same and has the same funny bone. That should be respected by those that insist on being assholes around here.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Listen. Its simple. If you behave a certain way, you are going to get certain responses. If you don't like those responses then change your fucking way. Simple.

But to hold grudges against those that don't care for your online persona is just like a 12 year old as much as anything else around here.

 

[Lanny]

Of course I noticed. I've noticed tons of people have trouble with one of your old buddies. Most people just steer clear of starting stuff with him.

Cippy on the other hand, people loved to attack him.

I'm sorry, but just how do any of my "old buddies" get mixed into this? Please leave my buddies out of it.

 

[Lanny]

you're being a dick.

Sometimes truthful feedback is not helpful. For feedback to be effective it must be well received. This is a message I have to constantly remind myself.

Matter of opinion. Id much rather have the truth and someone tell me they think im a dick then be all nice to my face and talk shit behind me. Zero respect for that.

@julius what is t.i.c.?

 

[tlongII]

Liberal bias.

 

[Lanny]

well, my feedback was t.i.c.

I looked up t.i.c. in the urban dictionary thinking I'm square and came up with nothing. This slang is so new that even the urban dictionary knows nothing about it. Tell me, is this some new slang that weirdos like me and bodyman know nothing about?

I read this post and got a kick out of it.
I'd really like to know what julius meant.

tongue in cheek. I figured that was a common enough phrase

Well in all fairness did you expect anything different with a thread topic that was chosen?

I figured this would now be the place to air grievances.. Would be nice if we could all keep it here and leave other threads on topic though.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

On purpose. To goad Chippy into getting banned.

 

[Orion Bailey]

The only thing I dont really care for and I know Ive said it before and I will make this my last voiced opinion on it, but the deleting of posts leaves things very ambiguous and vague.

Were the mods fair? Who knows because now there is nothing to refer to to form an opinion.

I understand not wanting Blazers brass to read it, but then its also been noted that the players and management just laugh us off and move on, so that cant be that big of a deal.

It is a mark on the mods when it is in question whee the banning was fair or not. There is nothing to back up the action now.
Id love to read about how insulting Cippy was to get bane,d but aren't able to.

This places all deletions under the suspect category and I will consider them opinion based, based on the relationship with the mod and the poster.

If the posts were left up, there would be no question.

Maybe move them to an OT thread or something, so there is a reference as to what exactly was said or done that was so bad to be banned?

Just my suggestion and I know I'm not the only one here against deleting posts/editing, etc.

Mods put their fairness into question when things are removed and cant be referenced. Just sayin.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

why do you think this forum has totally forgotten the rumor that @SlyPokerDog is secretly a cat lover? Because he never brings it up or responds to the accusations.

The pictures from last night prove he still loves me.

Who's a good boy? You're a good boy @SlyPokerDog

Banning Cippy was my decision and my decision alone.

This was done because of a past agreement that Cippy initiated and then didn't follow.

I previously banned him for insulting and ignoring other staff members. He was not banned for doing anything to me.

When I see someone disrespecting and insulting people who volunteer to keep this place running it is a bit of a trigger for me.

After Cippy was originally banned he reached out to @PtldPlatypus and said that if he were unbanned he would only post in the basketball section of the forum and wouldn't insult people anymore. I did not ask for this but I accepted it and unbanned him. He set the terms for his return.

He then did not do what he said he was going to do.

Not that long ago he had multiple posts with multiple insults. I asked him to clean up his own insults and posts. He refused.

It's not about degree of insults. It's not about whether or not I like him. And it has nothing to do with his personal or political beliefs or opinions.

I reach out to people all the time both publicly and privately about posts or incidents in the forum. I have reached out to you previously. While those discussions are not always successful they are respectful.

Personal insults are edited and/or removed when seen.

Fair enough. I just disagree with the editing/removing, but we can certainly agree to disagree.

I didn’t expect it to end with a ban. I was also hoping there might be others aside from me in my original post admitting to their past actions leading to the degradation of the site.

I’ve been trying to still post my beliefs but with more civility and with an attempt at listening to differing opinions. But it doesn’t help. I still love the dogs thread.

C'mon man--that's a DM. That shouldn't be put out for public consumption. Not cool.

Really? I have no problem deleting it.

Maybe just a personal ethic, but I know I'd be upset if someone publicly posted one of my DM's without my permission.

I appreciate the consideration.

Cippy.....Cippy.....wasn't he the guy who was always of the opinion that no one should ever have an opinion? Or is that just my opinion.....?

Cippy.....Cippy.....wasn't he the guy who was always of the opinion that no one should ever have an opinion? Or is that just my opinion.....?

Definitely not Cippy. You might be confusing him with Cup? And to be fair, Cup just thinks it's important to delineate fact from opinion, and to present opinion as such.
