So explain why you think it is "manipulate tripe?" (actually i think you said manipulative trite but I think this is the word you meant)

Really? You know that he takes the words "I'm sorry" in a very literal sense and you can't understand why someone in customer service using those words on him would be manipulative tripe to him? Really?

Yes, nonsensical when examining the literal meaning of words. Which is why I framed the answer as such. Which is I stated the difference between saying and achieving.

2. Because the person delivering the words hasn't wronged me. They have no reason to apologize to me when I haven't been wrong. They are attempting to apologize when they cannot accept blame. although their feelings may be sincere I cannot know, because their words aren't.

After hearing about the continuing drama via facebook, I came too read Nix's thread and I really need to set something straight here. I don't want anyone on this forum to labor under the misconception that my post was some sort of stunt or that it had anything to do with the contest. Throughout the contest drama I remained only peripherally aware that anything was even going on and until Kaolian's most recent reply in Nix's thread, I honestly had no real clue what the issue was or why people were so upset over it.

My issue, and the catalyst for my post, was not that Kaolian muted BT, but rather the post he made directly after doing so. While I regret having vented my anger towards Kaolian (which has been building for many, many months) via a few personal jabs, I absolutely stand by the meat of what I said. It is my opinion that Kaolian approaches his work on Allakhazam with a disgustingly patronizing and self-aggrandizing attitude that shows nothing less than blatant disrespect towards the customers he is meant to be serving. I realize that it can be difficult to suss out the meaning of a post by someone who is a self-described troll, but sometimes I do post in absolute sincerity and seriousness. This is one of those times.

I don't have an issue with being muted, and having seen Kaolian pitch such hissy-fits on many occasions in the past, I expected absolutely nothing else from him. I still have an issue with the way he treats us on these forums and I have absolutely no intention of utilizing a service whose administration feels that such demeaning and condescending conduct is appropriate.

While I certainly don't expect it, I would not consider returning to this site (much less paying for it) without an earnest apology from Kaolian delivered publicly, not to me, but to the Allakhazam community as a whole.

I also do not like you usage of the word dismiss. There are some concepts that I toss away, but there also are some that I simply don't understand. This appears to be a case where I simply cannot understand the person's position.

This is from Mindel:

This is the best attention whoring thread ever.

It's asinine to have a "Forum Feedback" forum where you're not allowed to question the moderators or their actions.

I disagree. Because that is just setting up the soapbox elsewhere. You agree to the terms of service and rules of conduct before your very first post.

I prefer a "You agree to take issues with the Moderators/Administrators in a Private Message" vs. "I agree to go rant and cause a stink in another forum where I can bury genuine forum issues with my personal panty wedgies".
