It's the drama, Milla. It makes it all look bigger, and I know Modzilla's having a fit about it.

But it *is* interesting that the few times I have done something resembling this some make it sound like that's all I ever did. I wonder why that is--Lucifer says it's because people know I *can*, but I think there's more to it.

And you're right--I'm not a proper admin and haven't been in a long while. Callaway, Parts, and Renaeden are, and they handle all the day-to-day stuff. I'm the techie, mostly.

Glad you're back.

Who is that person who I blocked on youtube anyway? Did he/she used to post here under another alias? I'm interested to know. I also have no idea who most of the people at peas forum are.

i notice pranks, what you did didn't come off as a prank, odeon.

What's the difference between an admin changing a member's permissions and me doing it? That's all a ban is.

your pranks just don't seem such. like when you babblized Calandale. seemed revenge, not prank. same as this. you had this thing with gaara, so it wasn't just silly fun, which is what pranks should be, imo

also you weren't even an admin properly.

So, why was it more funny when Modzilla and Shleed banned people and deleted their accounts on DV but less funny when one of them was banned?

Isn't it just as easy to reverse a ban of one of them as it was to reverse the bans they did to others?

BTW, I think Modzilla has "this thing" with lots of people.

The "again" is fucking hilarious--it's a clever devise, Pyraxis, but it doesn't inspire confidence to see you ignore qualifying it.

Okay. I'm thinking of when you blabberized Cal (as you're probably well aware). But that's been argued to death already, and I didn't want to start that particular argument again, since I know we have different opinions and that's not likely to change. My point was more that you do get caught up in drama sometimes, and the fact that you'll abuse your power when you do is not something I think is right.

You're introducing fear, uncertainty and doubt, hoping the facts will reveal themselves.

What facts? Are you implying there's more to the story than you trading pranks with Kamina? I actually wasn't trying to pry more information out of you. I already accepted that you did the prank and that there's nothing I can do about it beyond bitch. If I'm introducing fear, uncertainty, and doubt, it's because that's what drama like this inspires in people who are hurt by it and don't hold the reins.

Again, indeed. No substance other than some hurt feelings at DV and what *I* told you.

A reminder of character, indeed.

What kind of reminder? Now who's not qualifying?

What more do you think there is? I'm with Lucifer - it's because people know you can, and they know they can't stop you, and they have their place in the community at stake.

To be fair, I did fuck up Callaway's account unintentionally during my time as admin on I2 last year and also fucked up Cal's Aspie Chaos site at one point.

Yeah, I had mixed feelings over what happened yesterday, but I'm over them now. I realise that Odeon wasn't trying to destroy my site or anything -- his beef is with my current staff.

Shleed did delete Lit, yes, but only because he dislikes the guy. I don't recall Kamina deleting accounts based on personal grudges though.

So do I, but no one is forced to associate with her, like with me. And there's more to Kamina than just being a 4chan/Something Awful wankstain -- I know her better than any of her associates and enemies online.

I'm here to fuck you up. :P

Darn, it's too early in the morning for my taste buds to have buttered popcorn.
George:I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law

But this is nothing new. I've had that power for years here, without using it, the exceptions being the two-day blabberizer and banning minors (and, of course, those that have actively tried to harm this site). Note that I've been VERY restrictive with banning anyone--both Lit and scrap are still here, in spite of their best efforts to harm I2.

Why is it an issue when I prank Modzilla back at DV, where similar pranks were carried out unnoticed by those normally in power? Do note that the ONLY permanent change at DV was the deletion of my account, and nobody else but me was "harmed" by that action.

Then say so--say what you mean, instead of saying "again" in the vaguest of contexts.

I maintain that my use of the blabberizer at Cal did not comprise abuse of any kind.

Please list my OTHER abuses of power during my years as an admin here, if you know of any.

The facts that *you* hope are there but ae unable to present since they only exist in your mind. FUD.

I did qualify. I mentioned FUD, which was and remains  part of your standard ammunition.

That is a reminder of your character because unless you produce examples and evidence, FUD is what remains.

And I haven't deleted anyone except myself. There is a difference.

Thing is, many people ARE forced since she is an admin.

And she abuses friendships, too, but is neither here nor there, and not up to me to comment on.
