Diogenes Of Pumpkintown has been Banned indefinitely.
He has emailed me with this: --------------------- "How nice of you to make yourself look great publicly by saying this: "As YOU know, me and others misinterpreted his post, and I personally apologized to him." and locking the thread so no one could point out how lame your so-called apology really was." --------------------- I have put up with his arrogance for far too long, and that email is the last straw. I just wanted you to see this, so you will understand why he won't be posting for the foreseeable future. Also, when I apologize to someone (Mark, i.e. Skywalker), I MEAN it. ------------------ Ziroc™ Ironworks Webmaster www.tgeweb.com/ironworks [This message has been edited by Ziroc (edited 10-24-2001).] |
Z? Maybe I'm out of line, but I know Diogenese has been as stressed as any of us these days and I wonder if he just hit that send button before thinking it out.
Fwiw.. I'd like to put in a good word for him and hope he can come back soon.

I don't want anyone to think that I am happy that Dio is gone.Although we didn't get along, I would rather see everyone stay. But when you send an email THAT insulting to the webmaster of the board you are on, it shows how little respect you have.

Whats up with that.. must have been bad. Too many people are getting banned lately.. I think there has been more bans in the last 2 months than there have been in..I dont know a year since I got here.

people, we only see one side of the coin here. I'd rather leave the whole thing alone and let Ziroc and Dio deal with it. not that I don't care, we really will only add more complexity. so:

I wish to formally protest at the banning of Diogenes from this forum.
Firstly, I was not aware that one could be banned for the content of an email. Time and again I have seen the mods post, - if you have a beef, take it up privately with the mods/Ziroc, by email. Dio did this. Why was he banned from the forum for a point made off the forum? Secondly, if we are to talk about arrogance, I have seen a tidy bit of it displayed here since September 11th, by myself as well as by others. Very few of us posting on the war forum are innocent. If we are to talk about degrees of arrogance, Diogenes is far less so than many others here, the most extreme of whom assume (it is implicit in their posts) that their viewpoint is 'right' and the rest of us are 'trolls' who should be buried in the nearest deep hole (together with our opinions....) There was a recent mail from J.J. to Ziroc on this very subject.... which I can go off and find should anyone be interested....) What is bothering me here is that Dio is banned, and others, who have done exactly the same things, are not. Memnoch has already called me on my calling the integrity of the moderators into question. I called Ziroc's integrity into question, - no one else's. The reason I did this is, as I have said already, that I perceive that people who are anti-war (or at least not firmly pro) or anti-christian (or again, at least not firmly pro) are treated differently than those who share views with Ziroc. This is Ziroc's board, and he can do as he likes. Well, he has. I for one am very very unhappy about what has happened, both with Dio and with Tracey. I have loved posting here for many months now, perceiving it as a place where I could come with my views, and debate and play with others of like and unlike mind, until recently. I'm getting so I'm scared to open my mouth - the reason being NOT that I want to flame, - I do not - but that because views different to mine are somehow perceived as being closer to the 'truth', with people seeming to feel they are somehow justified in wording these views (i.e. pro-war) more strongly, and defending them in ways that are often actively unpleasant - they feel that because they have 'right' on their side, (only *their* opinion, I hasten to add)they are justified. Snide and patronising comments are often clothed in a fake and insincere 'sweetness', or presented in a world weary, 'isn't this obvious? Sigh' kind of way, as though dissenters to the popular view are children who just cannot manage to engage with a point. Any 'anti' replies that are made to such posts, which may be similar in tone to the posts replied to are then jumped on, very often. (Apologies for the generalising here... but I'm trying to make a point, and if I go into all instances, this post will be three pages long at least...) I would email this to Ziroc and Memnoch, but after what happened to Dio, don't really see the point. So I've posted this in open forum, so everyone can see where I'm coming from.... ------------------ http://www.asnsoup.com/silvercheetahfinal.jpg Most Ecstatic and Exotic Mistress of the Illuminati [This message has been edited by Silver Cheetah (edited 10-24-2001).] |
you are a terroist
what? did I say something wrong? it is my OPINION?? WOW, wait a second here, cannot I express my opinions?? Jesus, man, YOUR OPNION doesnt give you the right to throw it freely. sometimes you KNOW it'd hurt other people, so don't say it, or think twice and word it carefully This matter is between Dio and Ziroc, the two of them know the problem better than anyone else. so butt out |
