The Glade 4.0

When exactly have you done this? Selectively defending some people against some others is not asking others to argue with civility.



Yes, actually it is. Everyone here is an adult, and no one needs (or should need, at least) you to play white knight for them. Getting in an uproar because things aren't up to your standard of civility helps not in the least.



Back to the irrelevancy, I see. No one should be hounding you about supposed indiscretions with minors. The fact that they shouldn't does not somehow mean they also shouldn't cricticize you for your emotional posts and carrying on about your romantic life in ways that indicate you have atrocious judgement in that regard.



We've been over this before, and not just with you. This is not the Emo Support Therapy forum. If you post about your personal life here, expect cricticism if you post about how you acted like a fool. Expect more if you start trying to defend being a fool, start bellyaching about being cricticized, or start with the "but you don't know ALL the facts so your cricticism is invalid!" defense when selectively posting some facts was your own idea in the first place.



Everything I said above applies to Rants too, and really to General. The rule is not "be supportive or shut up when someone is being an idiot and looking for approval of it."



You quote one time where I used my Thyroid problem as a victim card. I use it to illustrate points at times, especially my disdain for fat asses who don't want to exercise. I'm hardly a "victim" of anything; it's not anyone's fault that I ahve that condition.



When that person is also doing stupid **** that causes them to not get a job....



Apparently you don't understand what "Victim Card" means. It doesn't mean any complaint; it means taking any sort of cricticism of your actions and portraying it as a personal attack because you didn't want to hear it.



Again, you don't seem to understand why people see you as a Victim Card player. It isn't jsut having things you're not happy with; it's the degree to which you cause your own problems, then blame them on others combined with expecting not to be cricticized.

You're hardly the only person here to do that, but you are the most prominent right now.



Your idea of a personal attack leaves a great deal to be desired. You took my disagreement with your actions in one thread as some sort of "hatred for you." You need to seriously rethink how you define "personal attack" as well as the motivations you read into other people's comments.



So? What's your point? He was using a personal situation to explain a political point. Frankly I thought it was rather over-the-top, but hardly him claiming to be the victim of anyone else here.

Or did you just bring this up to try to deflect my attention onto Khross?

Ah, so other people were sending you unsolicited PMs supposedly accusing you of being a child molestor, so for no apparent reason you sent one to Rynar?



You do realize that, as long as you don't intentionally lie in court or to create the allegation, false allegations of feloines ARE perfectly ok, even in the legal system? That's what happens when someone is found not guilty; the allegation is understood to be false. That doesn't meant there was no good reason for it in the first place.



Libel does not work when you created the reason for the allegation in the first place. If this had all just come up out of the blue, you might have a point.

I don't see anybody persisting in accusing you of it, TheRiov. I see you being all offended that people made, what seems to be (by the concensus where all the geeks on this board came to the same conclusion) a reasonable assumption based on the words you chose.

Wrong assumption? Okay, fine. But don't get mad at us for making it to begin with, and it's kind of lame to pull the victim act because we did -- you brought it on yourself. Now that you've corrected our assumptions, that's fine. Move on. We have (except for the part where you continue to be mad at us for something that wasn't our fault) already.

If you're being harrassed in private, bring it to the moderators. Calling people out (even if not by name) in public and then refusing to disclose details is just more playing the victim for sympathy.

The last, very similar post when Mike moderated (and locked with a snarky comment) an argument he was part of didn't drive him off, and people didn't complain about that "moderation request" being made.

I'm sorry to see Mike leave, he's been a part of the community for a long time. I'm not sorry to see him stepping down as a mod. I wish he could have done one without the other.

If I'm not mistaken, you openly reported in this forum that you were accused of being a molester via PM without mentioning that you initiated the PM nor that you initiated the hostile exchange.

You're going to need to do better than that if you are seeking to avoid being labeled as a self-made victim. Seriously. I'm not considering anything other than that exchange, but had Rynar not mentioned what I consider to be very important information that changes the onus of responsibility, I'd have thought you were being victimized.

But you weren't. You started **** and got **** back.
