That is a horrific pile of absolute bullshit Les.
Really? So this was not just then ordinary bullshit that you have been accusing it of being, but horrific? You think that is a little too much? Are you or anyone horrified by what I said....really? Melodrama?
I am actually wondering about the paranoia angle you are trying for. I am not paranoid of you. I do not think you really have that much influence on the site (perhaps you may have had a bit more back in the day).
I never suggested you were scared of me. I am saying that you and Odeon are coming up with paranoid theories about me.
Yet what you quoted below is a difference of perspection between what you said and how I interpreted what you said. Nothing paranoid in that and ineffect you make no real point
It seems you have been trying to say that either i am paranoid because i apparently believe you will take heaps of members away. I have clearly refuted this
You said clearly that I threatened to take 4-5 members away. I successfully refuted any possibility that I could get 4-5 members to leave.
...and we were never in dispute as i do not believe you could take 4-5 members away from here either. I suffer no paranoia in believing that you couldn't.
Now if what you are trying to say is that I believed by you writing about another 4-5 members apart from you, leaving, that you were trying to using this occassion and this thread as a means to put shit on I2 so people would hopefully leave, absolutely.
Do or did I think that you would or could be successful in your efforts? No.
Again can not see the paranoia.
If you are saying you talk of you and others leaving was not about either actively or passively trying to induce people to leave then I read it differently.
For example, the drama that happened a year ago was not good at all. I did not enjoy it, it was also very bad for the site.
However, and forgetting about the morality of what was done
Yes let's not examine morality in fact let's forget. The drama had nothing to do with you and the site benefited immensely for your efforts. Better not questioned. Bothersome boundaries.
That is a thoroughly shameless bit of quote altering. You should be ashamed of yourself, especially after Odeon making such a big thing of wrongly claiming I misrepresented Bods post.
Quote-altering? Nope. Quoting out of context? Nope. Why? You DO go on to justify that you think your efforts with Parrakeet (despite my disclaimer quoted) was funny. It does not affect the crux of what I was saying in the least.
I should be ashamed? No Butterflies. You ought to cut with the melodrama. I don't think anyone is buying it.
As you can see, "However, and forgetting about the morality of what was done" is the first half of a different paragragh, which you have tacked onto the end of the previous sentence. It was about the Parakeet incident. Here is the full quote:
For example, the drama that happened a year ago was not good at all. I did not enjoy it, it was also very bad for the site.
However, and forgetting about the morality of what was done, the drama with Parakeet was among the funniest "drama" I was involved in. I think it was good drama, or at least, fun drama. I think it livened up the site for a while.
Long bitter feuds may be "drama," but they help nobody. Fun "drama" is IMO good for the site.
This site needs fun "drama" IMO.
Shameful Les, shameful
Stating it emphatically does not lend a bad position credibility Butterflies.
And just remember Les. You are the only person bringing your friends "personal relationships" into things here. Im sure its worth it for you though
Yes because you refuted having ever fucked around peopel here and now when I make my point you rely on this tactic much like you did with Pandora, when placed in poor light you tried to say that me backing myself was poor form. Thionk of your friend. In fact you are a poor friend for back yourself against me.
Pretty piss poor
