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.
Honestly, he looks like he gave it earlier in this thread, and for that, I applaud the man.
He's not a perfect being, none of us are. He made mistakes, he was the full Kao of legend, but he just picked a target that people liked instead of people hated. However, he's been responsible enough to come at this with fresh eyes and say he did wrong.
Now, Mindel, BT, I think you know damn well you both pushed over the edge by doing what you did publicly. I get that it was mishandled, Kao admits as much. But he's not alone in the overreaction.
Whether by proxy or in person, it's up to those on the other side of this to come up, apologize, and put this whole mess to rest.
