Da Schneib shows up late

[Don't Panic]

And as it also happens I pointed out that in this instance he had clear grounds for his grievance, grounds which I laid out quite clearly in my first post in this thread. There was clear, indisputable evidence of inconsistent moderation within the thread in which Seth and Schneibster were arguing - Seth got a bye, while Schneibster was moderated.

Except nether were reminded for personal attacks. Schneibster was reminded for quite a few posts that taken together were felt to be in breach of the play nice rule not being as popular as Seth.

FIFY.

ETA: God fucking damn I wish you'd fix the quotes. I could do it but the last time I offered to fix some idiot bug on someone's site they had a paranoid fit about how I was gonna take over.

schneib, "popular as Seth" is not a phrase that I've seen used much, anywhere.

Kinda funny to read it though.

No offence to either of you, I like you both.

You got any views on democratically run forums? There was a discussion over the weekend, all viewpoints welcome.

what's wrong with the quotes?

[Schneibster]

But Dev could not be arsed to offer any of his insights in a constructive way earlier in the thread. Perhaps anther perspective would have helped things turn out differently, or at least staved off the inevitable for a few more days. Maybe he could have assisted Schniebster in clarifying his complaints, but that would have averted Dramaz, so he chose to fan the flames instead.

Sorry Dev, there are hundreds of people who I will listen to criticism of my conduct in this thread, but you're not one of them.

Dev was the only one who didn't fan the drama.

Nice try, though.

They don't link back to the quoted material.

Possibly longest welcome thread ever.

This one does.

(It was tested and buggered everything up, so was removed.)

oh Gawd, don't mention that.

That was a special kind of not fun.

[Schneibster]

On the gang-fucking.

I tried to answer Schneib's concerns in the "What is a personal attack?" thread on numerous occasions, as did most of the staff and many other members. He seemed impervious to what was being said

No, I seemed impervious to the excuses you were trying to make for not thinking carefully. It's called "asking inconvenient questions." They wouldn't be inconvenient if you didn't have to think to answer them. Duh.

[Don't Panic]

I'm sorry but I won't be involved in any gang fuckings, I prefer one on one. More intimate that way.

They were working fine. Why did youse get rid of them?

[Schneibster]

Welcome back schneib, how fared the expedition to the wilder reaches of the web?

Well, I found a place to talk about politics anyway. TPM. Makes this place look pretty amateur in terms of moderation, but pretty advanced in terms of technology.

I notice the asshole "moderator" from ratskep disappeared after I clipped him in front of the staff who's supposed to be running things over there. They've got the same chickenshit attitude about "the lusers" as you do here.

IIRC, those quotes (quite handy in themselves) required changing the actual (textual) content of the posts, and the modification package that then read these "newfangled" posts correctly was no more supported. So when the basic forum software one day would develop into something not compatible with the modification, every single quote ever made with the modification would be broken. And the breakage looked really ugly - it was nigh impossible to read: pieces of each post in the wrong order in the layout, or the whole post stuffed into the margin, or... *shudder*

'Twas not a nice night when it had to be fixed (the modification removed) and all how-many-hundred posts edited back to what they used to be (luckily Pappa figured out a script for that in the end). Were you not here?

I dunno, maybe Ronja's got a God complex, or it was her fucking period, or she's a closet climate crank or something. Whatever the fuck it was, it wasn't my problem until she started sticking it up my nose and decided I was to be moderated for less objectionable activity than Seth's. I don't really care what her fucking excuse for being chickenshit was.

I got some. They won't be popular here; they involve people taking responsibility for it when they fuck up.
