I'm willing to bet 95% of the "tough guys" on the internet in person would sit down and have a cup of coffee and be civilized. If they act in person like they do here they should go over the knee and get a good spanking! I'm not kidding.


I'm a tough guy, and badly need a spanking. :sneaky:

I'm sorry, Mike but I can't let you blow untrue smoke to make yourself look good. All of those allegations are true, and you know it. You were the only one pulling abusive "shenanigans" on that level. That's why Russ banned you. You are the only mod ever to be vacationed while being a mod, and you were subsequently drummed right out of the moderating corps, the only one ever (now twice!) for your abusive shenanigans. Harvey has a soft spot for you and he eventually let you back in, but you never really changed your ethics-challenged ways.
Well that's not true. First of all I will admit to deleting my own account to reset my post count and catching hell for it from Russ but I wasn't drummed out for it, I was just warned not to do it again. And that happen over ten years ago, just look at my join date to see exactly when it happened.

As for being banned/vacationed, that happened over 10 years ago too and it was a voluntary ban, I still had the ability to post and moderate and the vacation had to do with something I posted as a member, not something I did as a Moderator.

Man you've been keeping the dossier on me for a long time. I kind of wish I was paranoid as you and kept one for you for that long, it probably would dwarf the one you have on me


Remember when you were complaining that your password had been re-set back when the forums were exploited by Loke? That wasn't any of us, that was HQ, in the form of Derek Wilson and Anand.

YOU were the one moderator they suspected might be involved. That's simply because your history of abuse against posters dwarfed all the other mods combined, and they thought you were the ONE mod capable of such treachery.

I actually stood up for you and said to Derek, "Red's an asshole but I sincerely doubt he be involved in that." I also told him they'd never find anything in your pm's if you had been, that you weren't that dumb.
No I don't remember asking about my password being re-set back then and I find it unbelievable that they would suspect me of being tech savy enough to fool around with the software to create a hole for someone to exploit as I probably was the least knowledgable of that software amonst the staff at the time. I could see you planting that see in their heads though to try and manipulate them, that is one of your MO's


]But yeah, I was just blowing off steam about you in those screen shots because there you were, pimping for ProfJohn and posting it in PFI just to draw a crowd and dance for them, when you and I both know you probably didn't believe PJ to begin with.
Oh I believed it as he said it was you and I've seen you abuse your authority against those you don't agree with in P&N many times during my time as a member of the staff. Someone get's on your bad side and they could be in for a real rough time.

ViRGE saw it and moved it to Mod Discussions and reamed you for purposefully putting it in the wrong forum, and then a whole host of Admins handed you your ass with the facts to the point you where you were forced to back down and even apologize.
Again that's not the case. The only thing true is that Virge moved the thread (and did not say much to me except in a mod note in that thread that it didn't belong in PFI) to Mod discussions were questions regarding Mods go to die. And nobody reamed my ass in there forcing me to apologize. I only apologized after I heard the Mods story and went back to press Projo and found out I was being fed a bunch of crap. Only then did I apologize and I did it out of my own volition. The only time the other Mods and Admins reamed me out is when I went back to post in the thread later to accuse you of being a Bipolar Whackjob and they thought I was trying to create a mutiny against you

Your gambit backfired, and that was that.
No there was no gambit, you are paranoid, delusional and are afraid of losing the position you so much coveted and schemed to get.

But you did all of those things I ranted about, and more. I just can't let you dance for this audience and try to get the misimpression over that you didn't or that other mods pulled bullshit like you did.

It's just not true.
No I did not do all those things, go back and check your dossier on me.

Now as far as shenanigans in the past, yes there were and no I wasn't the worst. I'm not going to mention names becuase that is way in the past. I will mention some of the types of shenanigans, For instance copying a members password and using it to log in to read their PMs, banning people because a certain Mod just didn't like them and the best one, a rogue Mod going in to Derek's account and locking him out (same Mod also tried to organize a Mutiny against him)

But that's all a long time ago and it doesn't really matter anymore and me not being part of the staff anymore doesn't really matter, I'm glad I'm not, it was real tough to justify some of the actions of the staff under your leadership, sometimes downright embarrassing. I never felt that way under Russ, Harvey or Derek.

I'm not the only one, just look at the hight turnover of Senipor Staff members under your reign, that speaks volumes about your leadership and it doesn't speak well IMO . Granted there are some on the staff who disagree with me and like me they are entitled to their opinions.

And finally as I said the reason I'm no longer a staff member now is because I'm not a team player or to be more precisely because I called you a Thin Skinned Micromanaging Totalitarian in front of the whole staff.

Let me add one more thing, you've had Mosh on your hit list for as long as I can remember and at times have been advised by other staff not to bother her. You've also been keeping a dossier on her for a long time, something that you admitted to me when you asked me to go spy on her over at TFNN. Granted you said it didn't have anything to do with you being a Onmipotentent Overlord but that doesn't make it any less creepy and rather deranged.

I've been trying to avoid getting involved with the mods, but that's not a personal attack? Come on, man. I don't know what you expect except attacks when you're dishing them as well.

Calling the mod and other mods 'corrupt brethren' is about as much as an attack as one could make. Also going against a mod quote is against the rules here as well.

What's your goal here? You think there is a conspiracy too?

As esquared would say, you clearly have issues with reading comprehension.

Sigh. Every single thing you just posted is a twisted, self-serving lie, from why you were fired to your unsubstantiated charges against me to your half lie explanations for some of the bullshit you were caught doing over the years.

And, again, there is no dossier. It's just another of your LIES, Red.

I'd hope not. He is just defending himself against what Perknose started.
I agree, but it's already been done. Apparently those accused are not allowed to respond to the allegations against them.


Hey why don't you twist the words here.

He would have been able to respond had he not called out the mods and got himself tossed

I think over reaction is really in over-drive here. A lot of decent people on both sides of the fence need to step back, catch a breath, and in a few days work this out. The mods do have job to do though, but mistakes were made all around. We all have our good days and bad days, but we shouldn't let a bad day become a never ending thing. The melting pot so to speak of different attitudes is what makes a forum great, but sometimes that very thing will have a negative result in times such as this.

Mods are human like everyone else, so they should have some private area where they can go and discuss stuff, even if just blowing off steam. And members should understand that and when that area became open should have respected that. But in turn mods also need to realize that they should not hold others to any higher standard than they would hold themselves. Now in fairness in the time I been here, I can't really recall where anyone was banned forever without something pretty serious that occured.

So I can't really say whether or not the folks who got a vacation deserved it or not. But history says whatever they seen was pretty serious. But I think in order would be in say a couple of weeks after cooler heads have prevailed for everyone to see if this could be worked out without this being some long drawn out thing.

Pretty much the same thing I said 15 or so pages ago

It's all one big misunderstanding or overreaction and insults don't need to be thrown around.

Red got banned for that? All he did was respond to the accusations made against him. Banning him and removing his ability to defend himself is a chickenshit move.

Wow.

TO ANAND,

Hi there. From what I can see, you're about to fire your entire Moderator Staff. As a long-time member, user and sometimes abuser of your awesome forums I feel I'm well-qualified to be a Mod. I'm not even close to as angry as I used to be about life in general, am thick-skinned and would dole out the whippings fairly and evenly. I've been banned, unbanned, vacationed, smacked around, etc. I know my way around your forums and the people who frequent here.

More importantly, I don't know any Mods in person, nor do I "hang out" with them online. I'm a complete outsider. For full disclosure: I have a full-time job and a family at home. I would browse through the forums assigned to me on a daily basis but couldn't do it "full time."

I'm here if you need me.

Sincerely,
MichaelD

I think this probably belongs in an email, if you're serious. Can't tell.

I am more of a democratic person. I think we need yearly terms for mods and admins and they can only be reappointed once (so two terms). I also think the appointing should be done either by Anand (it is his site) or by the forum members as a whole.

Call me crazy but that's what i think.

And no i dont have anything against any current (or former) mods, admins, etc.


and if you will excuse me i will go back to reading Lorenzo Valla, Discourse on the Forgery of the Alleged Donation of Constantine

Wow.

Fucking weak. You'd think they would realize that it weakens their position when they ban people for defending themselves.

For what it's worth (most likely nothing), I've always thought Perknose was either a bi-polar nutjob, or an alcoholic.

Well we are on the same page, then. This is really going way overboard, just a lot of hard feelings for something really that is just being blown all out of perspective. Some of this stuff is just personal and is really outside of being a member or moderator. They need to just stop talking for a bit.
