@POOHEAD189 I am bleeding...making me the victor!
He's a hobbyist website admin, not the despot of a banana republic. He doesn't "lead" anybody. He gives you a space to fulfill your roleplaying needs, and we (the rest of the staff) help him take care of spambots, misplaced posts and trolls. That's it. That's all this place is. And frankly, your assumptions about his motives for creating, hosting and maintaining the site are disingenuous, and comparing a -- let me remind you again -- hobbyist forum to a democratic nation is at least melodramatic, if not outright ridiculous.
And by the way, websites are never democratic. The internet is an exercise in benevolent dictatorship to begin with.
If you thought my earlier post was vitriolic I implore you to reconsider your knowledge of the meaning of that word, but fear not -- I'll educate you on its meaning right now. Many of the points raised in this thread are valid. Yours are not. I don't appreciate your sensationalism and I'd prefer if you just keep out of the conversation entirely if you can't manage a reasonable level of discourse. Several people have complained in this very thread that users are blowing the issues out of proportion and your post is a textbook example of that very same thing. Overthrow Mahz? What the fuck are you talking about? Do you have the slightest idea how the internet works? And are you seriously implying that he go read a book written about war to learn how to administrate a hobbyist internet forum?
You need to get some perspective.
The majority staff isn't just eneough transparent, mature, and open enough to criticism to come here and discuss this with the community. Of the ones that posted here until now, @Ruby and @NuttsnBolts, seen like they just came to try to save face and looking like they are open to discussion, when they trully aren't. In fact, Nutt's first post on this discussion was an open attempt to shut down all dialogue and shift the blame on the community and, especially @Cyndyr, this thread's OP.
Heh. That’s funny given you just likened me to Vidkun Quisling, who supported the Nazi’s. This is how you want to talk to people – likening the moderators to actual fascists who exterminated several members of my family.
Your actions here, combined with Grim's actions, and even the actions of the staff, have affected many members in a negitive [sic] way. Friendships have been lost, trust shattered throughout the community, and the screenshots of who is the worse person needs [sic] to stop if we have any desire to move forward.
