Aw, just noticed Sean took away my mod powers before I even had the chance to do anything...sucks.

I wonder...what was the specific reason I was demoted? So scribbler and pooey can insult me but they keep their mod status? That's stupid.

Now I'm even more curious as to why the heck Sean would ask me to come back and "set an example for others to follow."

PatrickHenry · Oct 8, 2004, 04:44 am

Kyran, I told you that Sean was taking a risk hiring someone as aggressive as you. I'm sorry you didn't get a real chance to do the mod thing. I mean you did, but you blew it before you really learned the drill. You might have been a good mod if given the time and patience to learn the job. "Specific reason": You shouldn't argue with Big Brother...

And why did you say I have a bad attitude? I only flamed ya a little bit and that was in the BF. I even wished you well as a moderator. I thought we were friends...

Um, I noticed you dont have Mod power anymore. Kinda empty threats. Sounds like you still want to be equal to Sean, while he just wanted you to enforce Etiquette, you want to control by erasing and adding your individuality to our work. Thats plagiarism. We dont want you to have authoritarian rule in Butterface, because evrything will eventually lose its unique flavor of the individual who originally posted it. The post of mine that you changed, you just started adding your own garbage in my space. Even I dont know everything you hacked, how would anyone else know? Who made you a better judge of what I wanted to say, as long as I didnt insult another member or insist on breaching etiquette, dont hack into my stuff.

Sean altered one of my topics when he made it a Featured Topic, I was honored.

Kyran · Oct 8, 2004, 06:43 am

HAAAAAAhahahahaha,

So it doesn't bother you that Sean changed my topic titles before? What makes you think he won't do it to you too?

Pat, Daniel, you guys are not anywhere as bad a problem as the other guys on the list. I can co-exist with people like you, and I do. But you ran off my friend Commie who's no better at this debate crap than either of you. I like you both, but that's not fucking cool. I want everyone to improve and not get pissed off at each other.

Daniel, I still wish you hadn't jumped in when I was nailing everyone's topic titles. If you had just let it go, then less credible people would be complaining and Sean might not have jumped down my throat like I did something wrong. There still ISNT anything wrong with me doing exactly what the admin did to me. And you know that. You're just rebelling against authority out of your own friggin nature. Why shouldn't I be dictator motherfucker? I would drop airstrikes on the FCC and the FRB and they would be no more. Goddamn dude! Who's fucking side are you on?

Only reason I'm sticking around is because I'm giving Sean that ONE benefit of the doubt that he's not being an asshole to me on purpose. If he is, then I will tell him to fuck himself and wherever I go people will know not to come here. I can leave whenever I choose to, but I'd rather see the forum improve than just abandon it. I don't drop people when people need help.

Pat, I have 0 intention of changing the way I choose to moderate. Moderation is not babysitting. You might not like it, but let's see you put up with Bush's crowd talking shit about libertarians for 5 minutes on your forum. Neither one of us would put up with their goddamn crap and you know it.

Nuff said. I'm real and always will be.

heh, and you were complaining about how other people flame?

If you're gonna call me arrogant Kyran back it up; or did you just mean I was self confident too. I criticized your moderating and said you were lording over us, I wasn't attacking your character. Lighten up and the same with that guilt trip crap about commie not coming on here and you trying to blame others for him being thin skinned.

When will you get it through your head that I only changed topic titles when I had a featured topics area, and I needed concise topic titles so they could fit as headlines. I'd never change a title or a topic to influence the tone of the topic.

These guys are right, I hired you to aggressively enforce the etiquette. You didn't even give that a try before you insisted that it all must be changed. I'm glad I did take away your moderation abilities after you saying that you'd make the butter face yours "without my consent."

IT IS THEIR TOPIC. When you alter it to change the tone of it you're disrupting their right here to post what's on their mind. That's why they get mad. Everyone will make that a big deal. The fact that you don't realize this scares me.

Where have I been an asshole?

rcne · Oct 8, 2004, 01:50 pm

I have an outstanding idea - why don't we all become moderators - and moderate ourselves.

Wait - the etiquette section that we all agreed to covers that.

never mind.

Just because I say I am better than you at something doesn't mean I have a superiority complex. It just means you suck right now; so look for ways to improve. If you people weren't so arrogant, you'd admit I'm better and do what I do to be as good as me if not greater.

He manages to contradict himself in one paragraph. I am impressed, I guess he doesn't think that confident people can be modest...
