Precisely! Anyway ... I haven't had anything to say on the subject of the thread, so now it's my turn. If I had to guess, TSO, I'd say you're emotionally sensitive, and you have a tendency to overreact. I base this on the fact that I'm exactly the same way, and I can see all the signs. This, of course, can make idiots act idiotic, but if there was anything that could make idiots stop acting idiotic, you can bet that someone would have figured it out by now and it'd be widely used. But this does not make you a bad admin, for the sole reason that I've never seen you take admin action based on these overreactions. (I don't know which specific mod banned Mima, but frankly, if you're going to make a post whose sole purpose is to openly badmouth the owner of the site on which you are making this post, in a thread in which the owner is expressing extreme emotional stress and is seeking some kind of comfort, you deserve whatever the mods give you.) I run a roleplay MUD. I am very lucky that it has become fairly popular. I am also very lucky that the other staff and many of the users are direct friends of mine, and the setup enables me to keep my outbursts mostly private, and when I seem like I'm about to do something in anger, I'm surrounded by people willing to talk me down. I'm also lucky that upgrading tends not to take much work. (And that the problem-people have been relatively few and far between. I suppose it helps that the staff personally have to approve every individual account ...) But my point with that is, I understand. If you need a break, take a break. If you think the stress is too much, I can stand by that too. But you've been a good admin, even if people didn't always think you looked like it. |

Let's all have seizures and write up giant 1000-word reams of text! --- End quote --- I really hate it when people say things like this. It's just so disrespectful IMO. Some people here are friends with each other, or thought they were. Not to mention alot of time is comitted to some of the projects here. While I wasn't upset at the event directly I was upset that some important people here may have left from the ordeal, like losing a friend. Personally I think people are hipocrites when they automatically pull the "hurr hurr Internet is srs bizniz" card and think they are more justified by being upset with someone else outside the Internet that they spend 1/4 the time with. Automatically catagorizing everyone as a baby just makes you look like an ass IMO. TSO asked all a question, based on a scism during April 1st, people are just trying to discuss it. And the people with stronger opinions (e-mouse for example) don't need people saying they are twits for feeling the way they do without actually going into it on a personal level. Personally I'm upset that some people feel the need to take it in pms (not saying it's your fault neccesarily) because I too care how everyone feels, even though the feeling probably isn't mutual. |

News flash, many of us (including myself) did apologize-- multiple times, even. --- End quote --- I did not see that apology, since I was avoiding the forums out of despair at the time. It is, as far as I can see, no longer publicly visible. So I did not know this, and... well, -harshness omitted- --- Quote from: Ghaleon on April 19, 2010, 08:30:32 PM ---I really hate it when people say things like this. It's just so disrespectful IMO.

I am mostly focusing on PMs and highly restricting myself here for fear of things picking up in a bad way, even if I think I'm capable of keeping my outbursts reasonable, both in reason and wording. Since odds are good I'm wrong, considering how it's an opinion about myself, well... I'm trying to hold back to make sure that this conversation remains civil. Or at least, improve the odds. And yes, (perceived) lack of respect is a major issue in all of this. |

It could have happened on or off the internet, between friends or non-friends, on a boat or on a goat, I'd feel exactly the same about it. Nothing personal. I'm just joking around, not trying to disrespect or insult. |

I do not believe this is the time, nor the place, for such behavior. If you are not interested in the matter, then you are free to leave it alone. But provoking emotions further will not help the issue. -Hostility omitted- |
