So where else do you play?Follow

No, Katie will never be an admin. That's just how it is. This is Katie being irritated and omg annoyed that people would threaten to leave and thinking that the whole "zomg I wont renew my premium" should be a valid argument to their mock outrage.

Though we aren't really on the subject any more I feel like noting, if perhaps it was ambiguous before. I was wrong about the definition of sorry before and therefore wrong about all points regarding that usage, though I still think the definition of apology is contestable.

Or you could ya know, WRITE the owner of the website. Believe it or not, he'll get back with you. Giving the admins flack for doing their job is just pointless.

Do you yell at the fry flipper who got your order wrong? No, you go to the manager.

Hey Nix, mind doing me a favor?

I want to say something on the boards, don't want to wait a week to say it because by then it will be lost in the newly relevant conversations(what's your favorite movie and "Look! I found some belly lint that looks like Christ") and don't want to ask Jade to post it because I don't want her muted for letting me use her account.

So, I'm seeing some people suggesting I should apologize to Kao and DF, but it's really highly unlikely, as I don't feel sorry for them in the least. I don't feel I did anything deserving of this mute, unless it's just the cummulative effect of my posting, in which case it would have been nice to have been informed of that directly instead of the ridiculous manuevering they chose to undertake instead.

Fact is, the forum-merge talk is silly, and always comes up when the admins feel overwhelmed by the whining of a vocal majority. You've got two very different social groups existing side-by-side, flourishing and co-mingling to an extent and combining them will destroy one if not both. While I would love to take credit for killing the OoT, I don't see this as anything other than a diversionary tactic at best, and an opportunistic land-grab at worst. If you wanted to enforce the rules in the OoT beforehand, just say that, but the idea of combining the two forums has been floated before, so I think you've probably got all the data one could ask for.

Fact is, the post I got muted for called Kao a moron once, and said that I felt like I was being threatend for making them feel stupid. That's it. And apparently that's mutable now so it won't happen again.

Fact is, I felt like I was being set up. I knew I had really bruised some egos, albeit inadvertantly, with the contest stuff. When Senji's post in the feedback forum popped up, born of an admin's request, I saw it for what it was: an invitation for me to troll in an inappropriate forum and get banned. I'm not anything resembling an idiot, nor am I easily manipulated, and I resented the assumption that I'd be so easily trolled by the administrators.

So I made the thread in the OoT knowing full well there was really only one way to end it. The admins wanted to punish me, so I let them. I'd rather be muted right now than waiting for the other shoe to drop with every post.

If and when my mute is lifted, I won't post in the OoT anymore. I'll post in the Asylum, but the filter I've had will be gone, and I assure you it's been a heavy and strictly self-inforced filter. I don't expect every poster in forum=4 to enjoy me or my attention, either, and I imagine the admins will still get some PMs because darn it BT is mean, but at least I'll be in the forum that says "Flames" at the top of it.

I just want to post the way I know how. I understand that in the future I need to not acknowledge admins in anything but a positive light. I understand that I should contain myself to the Asylum.

Anyway, that's my two cents, see you in a couple days maybe,

Thanks for reading,
Kile

PS: Thanks Nix.

I hate agreeing with BD, it goes against the grain, but AMEN.

Katie, for once just please shut it.
