Don't you have anything better to do with your life than trolling people who are fuckin' trying to abide by the forum's rules?
Pathetic. The good old have you got nothing better to do than telling me to fuck off.. No, I haven't. Fuck off
ＰＲＩＴＣＨＡＲＤ has joined the beef.
Mugwump, you should probably just shut up lmao. Maybe people would care and 'abide by the forum's rules' if an actual moderator showed up. As it is, you just look like fool trying to bully around other people for... fun, i guess? I'm really not sure what you get out of this, other than perhaps a misguided feeling of satisfaction when you push people around vigilante-style? Remain Pathetic...
trying to bully around other people
Uhhh... what? when you push people around vigilante-style Double-what?! Did you even care to read what happened or did you just jump in for the fun of it? I have receipts...
Pushing people around like a moderator (When you aren't one): http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=61611&start=18&end=18 http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=1&start=30514&end=30514 http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=1&start=30518&end=30518 being a bully and an ass: http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=1&start=30520&end=30520 http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=1&start=30523&end=30523 http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=16069&start=351&end=351 http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=16069&start=353&end=353 Some of these are 'less bad' than others, and other people involved have said 'worse' than that, but you asked if I'd read up on the beef so far and I decided the easiest way to do that was to demonstrate your own inability to read. First 3 links: read again. There was no pushing people around whatsoever in these posts. Also, what does my comment to mfx have to do with any of this shit?
Last 4: those are the direct consequences of ww's own attitude. I'd appreciate if you didn't pin it on me, thanks. Should just link to all of mugwumps posts when he's responding to someone. It'll be 50/50 whether or not he's been an ass, or at least coming off as one. The winky faces and constant "..." is what triggered me. I don't think he's a bully tho, just annoying.
Ok, Here's a simple question for you Mugwump. Are you a moderator or admin on func_msgboard?
If the answer is yes, then feel free to tell people like mfx where they should put their posts - in fact, why not move it yourself, since you have moderation tools? If the answer is no, why tell someone where to post? You are not in a position of authority over anyone, and pressuring them to leave a thread or post elsewhere isn't your job. Hence "pushing people around" and "vigilante". Also, how is "ww triggered me, I must therefore respond likewise" a good excuse? That's like saying it's okay to steal someone's lunch because they stole yours. Two wrongs don't make a right... Well, I think it was respectful of Mugwump toward vicpas (the author of the "RTCW - Age of Horror" thread) to suggest moving the off-course discussion away from vicpas's thread. Why should you have to be a moderator to suggest moving discussion elsewhere out of respect toward the OP? And I don't think his suggestion was written in a rude manner:
Guys, if you want to continue this discussion, let's move it to GA, shall we? It has nothing to do in a RTCW post. I'd also like to address this quote from Pritchard: Also, how is "ww triggered me, I must therefore respond likewise" a good excuse? That's like saying it's okay to steal someone's lunch because they stole yours. Two wrongs don't make a right... You're right Pritchard, but I think kwenan and ww should also be scolded, for acting upon their anger when they were triggered by Mugwump's tone. If Mugwump's tone (the ;) and And actually, I've been feeling partially to blame for this whole thing, because I myself was steering the discussion away from vicpas's "Age of Horror" level pack in the thread. And for that, I'm sorry. Nothing ever happens in a vacuum, so there's definitely blame to be laid at the feet of everyone involved to some degree. However the point I was trying to demonstrate was specifically addressed towards Mugwump, as he had become the most inflammatory person at that point.
There's less (but still something) to be said about ww's behavior, or yours and mine in comparison, and the topic of the conversation quickly focused on Mugwump's tendency to interject in ways that bothered other users. As respectful to vicpas as Mugwump could be said to have been, it wasn't his place to make those suggestions, and it rubbed people the wrong way. I would say that getting so annoyed about someone suggesting that you're being offtopic that you start beef is a bit much, but beef was met with beef and so on and so on. (by the way, I wouldn't bother being overly sincere about any of this... simply because this really shouldn't be a big deal...) Are you a moderator or admin on func_msgboard?
No, but I remember my early days on this board, when I was guilty of indulging in ongoing OT and got repeatedly scolded for it. I've learned my lesson and now, whenever an OT that I have participated in (I've just checked and I'm not the instigator after all, I only replied to Esrael - blame him! lol) drags on a little too much, I ask the people involved to move to GA. How is that a bad thing? And about it not being my place, let me tell you that I've been congratulated for it several times by historical figures of Func_ like Baker. tell people like mfx where they should put their posts Can't you tell the difference between an order and a question? pressuring them to leave a thread or post elsewhere Again with this? How can you possibly infer pressure from the suggestion Esrael quoted (and adequately analyzed) in #362? Also, how is "ww triggered me, I must therefore respond likewise" a good excuse? It's not an excuse, it's an explanation. I'm certainly not a diplomat and I tend to act like a mirror and give people a taste of their own medicine. If they're cool, I'm cool but if they act like jerks, gloves are off. And I most certainly don't have to give excuses for it while the jerks keep on jerking like if I was to blame. You don't want me to bother you, then don't piss me off with bullshit, plain and simple (not you Pritchard, I'm using the generic "you" here). Lastly, on what planet exactly is a fuckin' wink considered rude?! Tone is precisely why emoticons were invented, and if someone mistakes benevolence/kindness/playfulness for rudeness, they seriously need to reassess their communication chops. Similarly, 3 dots usually imply a continuation to a story or a conclusion to be drawn. Not rude either. I haven't been on the board for very long, and even I have seen quite a few cases like (new) people posting beta maps somewhere else than the "Screenshots & Betas" thread, for example.
Then, people (who weren't moderators, if I recall correctly) would advice the posters to post their maps in the betas thread in the future and inform them that they'll move over to the betas thread to give their feedback. Nobody made a fuss about it back then, so why should they now? Maybe because winks and emoticons like :D CAN be interpreted as sarcastic and passive aggressive signs over the Internet. Just shows how important non-verbal communication is, it seems. Okay this beef shit is fucking retarded. I insincerely apologize for been a shithead and telling you to fuck off. That will have to do. There isn't anything else to bang on about so we'll just call it a win for me.
I love how you can squeeze a "sincere" apology with (emoticon-free) passive-aggressiveness in only 3 lines... Couldn't you just leave it at the hatchet burial? I would have gladly accepted (I don't enjoy conflict) but that last bit just ruined your so-called sincerity big time!
And yes, you're right, it is retarded. Pritchard:
(by the way, I wouldn't bother being overly sincere about any of this... simply because this really shouldn't be a big deal...) ww: I insincerely apologize... Deduction: ww agrees that this isn't a big deal. I should become a detective. B) |
