Hey guys. Just so you all can stop blathering on about how I am a coward or whatever, I have decided to make a separate post explaining why I am no longer involving myself in your discussions.
I have decided to be creative and use a few small excerpts from my MSN conversations to sum everything up:
Arkanor:
One of the reasons that I'm not even bothering to post in Java or LARVAE's threads is the one that you pointed out.
Arkanor:
They'll take whatever you post and twist it until it suits their purposes for refutation.
Emperor TazG:
there needs to be some solution to the potential problem of what would normally be a fine management system utterly degrading us thanks to people using it as retaliation in personality conflicts.
Emperor TazG:
see this is the kind of thing we need.
Emperor TazG:
Outsiders.
Emperor TazG:
With brains.
Emperor TazG:
Then people can't go around saying they're suckups
Emperor TazG:
or if it's us
Emperor TazG:
basically dismissing everything we say for the sole reason that
Emperor TazG:
it is us saying it.
Emperor TazG:
FGF needs an advisor.
Emperor TazG:
Someone from another successful forum, which isn't run by people aged 15-18
Emperor TazG:
to come and tell them they are all idiots for thinking they know what good moderation is.
King Zepplin:
omg taz stop tryin to make yourself seem better than everyone else
Emperor TazG:
That's the beauty of it though.
Emperor TazG:
They can't use that excuse.
Emperor TazG:
Because it wouldn't be me.
Emperor TazG:
It would be someone who has a forum that actually does work without all the childish bickering
Emperor TazG:
and a simple comparison would prove that they ARE better than us.
Emperor TazG:
In fact
Emperor TazG:
I might actually try this.
Emperor TazG:
Like
Emperor TazG:
have an MSN interview with some moderator on a *good* forum.
It is clear to me that I can't say anything to defend myself against the bombardment of paranoia and bitterness over being personally affected by the authority of Nova Browser and I, (which I will continue to believe is being targeted at us only because we are quite literally the two most active moderators on this entire site) and neither can any of our "friends" because their words will similarly be twisted or disregarded under the pretense that they are all suckups or brainwashed by an extensive vocabulary or whatever. Of course if I mentioned the phrase "ad hominem" right now you would just sneer and dismiss it because I am "trying to sound better than you," but again, if an intelligent outsider were given the chance to review this, he would be able to tell you with great certainty that this behavior being incorporated into your arguments is nothing but a huge pile of flawed reasoning which "involves replying to an argument or assertion by addressing the person presenting the argument or assertion rather than the argument itself or an argument pointing out an inconsistency between a view expressed by an individual and the remainder of his or her beliefs." That being said, I will never again waste my time pursuing what is nothing but an endless cycle of my own words being used against me or being disregarded through some vain attempt to make me look hypocritical. I advise everyone else to do the same. Also, there is a high chance of me not making any further posts in this thread either. I have said what I have to say, and I am done.
