farren, bonzi buddy has actually pointed out a few places where I was offensive to her in ways I didn't realize, and I intend to do something about that when I can find the words. no doubt the situation was really exacerbated and contorted by another party acting in their own interest
that was not an apology to her. is she here? are you her? I was explaining in which ways that I feel sorry, which have actually expanded after bonz made me realize some things. YOU certainly don't get it, since to you this is still some undefinable "principle" - apparently, you think you have to absolutely loathe every single fiber of mince's and ed's bodies in order to not be offensive to velfare in some way. so yeah, once again, butt out.

and you keep on trying to, but you really DON'T get to use my apology/lack of apology to velfare against me. what you've done to me is a separate matter, and has been entirely uncalled for. if you really don't feel bad at all, you really have no position trying to lecture anyone about empathy (something I already doubted given what you've said about mince and ed). as I pointed out, even mince feels bad. you are worse than mince. until this is seriously addressed, this my final reply to you at all.

clearly, your excuse isn't too much emotions getting in your way

Because it keeps coming back like a bad case of herpes and my eyes sting like a motherfucker.

But you actually hit the nail on the head with that one. It is something relatively trite as WHATS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR because this is a place full of fairly intelligent, sensible people (even at the worst of us) and this is a banal ass argument in the first place. To me its splitting hairs.

One arguing about the very necessity of the existance of an idiot saying idiot shit in this place and the other arguing about the idiots right to say idiot shit. Who fucking cares? Its not like you're arguing against a group of supermysogonistic he-man womanhaters and the dumbass comments were already shot down.

If you look back a few years in this community to when one would use those convictions and form valid arguments it would actually be for a GOOD reason. IE: KK4. Who was an inexcusable, racist piece of shit that spread political ideologies that if not thought about or discussed further could have resulted in this being another platform full of repressed internet nerds propelling a ron paul campaign.

Its just a fucking dumb thing to argue about, its very arbitrary and insignificant. Back then that shit would not have been taken seriously at all and have snowballed into such an argument, cus we had better shit to do than sit here and dick measure.

If you ever end up in the states though I def want you to call me because I'm going to take you and show you some of the most ignorant po-dunk motherfuckers on the face of the earth that will probably outright stupify you and hopefully make you redirect all of this "net justice" energy you seem to have lately.

as I pointed out, even mince feels bad. you are worse than mince.
first of all yeah he feels bad for being banned. but not for anything he did because he happily reaffirmed all of it in his post.

and are you really telling me that I'm worse than a twice banned racist/misogynist who continually harassed one of our members until his account got banned, because I'm being rude to you?

yeah, I unequivocally admit that I'm being very rude to you here (that's the point), but if that's your biggest problem with this whole situation you have pretty messed up priorities.

no doubt the situation was really exacerbated and contorted by another party acting in their own interest
there's only one party whose interests I have defended here and that's the one person who isn't here to defend herself. like I said before, I'm not participating in the debate olympics here. this isn't an argument for the sake of arguing.

fuck you two with getting the last words, don't keep this shit going on here. earl will talk to velfarre in person, either in irc or in a real topic, and i'm definitely not going to start defending her either way here unless she comes here as well, we all sit in the same table and talk it out. have a seperate topic for it. we'll not/avoid belittling her opinion in any way just in case it happens and try to see it from her angle as well.
she has good reasons to feel the way she does but i really had to talk to her in person and read post histories and that topic over and over again to get the full picture. it would/will be a good topic, not black or white at all.

we're all adults here who are relatively smart who CAN also admit mistakes. how long we've COEXISTED in this forum to know somewhat how others may or may not think? at least... we know each others routines and at worst not much else!! no-one of you fuckos know exactly what kind of person the other is in mind and in rl and nobody of you has any right declaring WHAT the other person is as an argument, that's no way to treat other human beings. the only way is reason and talk.

also *carefree/spontaneous armpit fart* imo saltw is okay or good. it works i can identify with it. i can be relatively interested in old games but i'd rather not marry myself to them for the next 10 years again. name dont make the man, man makes the name...  2;47 bonzi "ill fuck you up" buddy

but idk it's nice to see that dudes like Afura and Beasley still care a little of this place to suggest that or req a frontsite. dig +1

fyi if you (reader) dismiss my post thinking i'm posting feeble/mild garbage or morally bankrupt, yeahhh i'll gladly punch your fucking nose in dear fucker. we'll have full arguments and points IF we fix this by making the topic. there's lot to talk anyways and it's definitely a waste seeing her go or you guys fighting so make ammends.

 Barack, I agree with you that when earl's ready to truly apologize, he will in his own time, and that  there's no point in Dada and Earl turning their swords on one another. Bonzi, I agree that they should be able to patch things up in time once the three actually start talking , listening,  understanding ,  and attempting to gain insight into the other and stop attempting to speak for each other. It'll take time but I think we all want them to patch it up.

I'd also like to point out that Vell has  continued lurking around here and may be available to speak to.

okay time for some clarification.

first of all there's nothing to discuss with vellfire. mince got properly banned and earlchip contested the ban saying he's okay with him staying because he's not bothered by his constant harassment of vellfire or his misogyny or racism. if he wants to assume that line: fine, but I'm going to comment on it. that's how things work. now he's complaining I was too harsh on him and says I should apologize. that's where we are right now.

second of all vellfire is not coming back here for a while. she's personally asked me to speak on her behalf where needed, even though up until now everything I've said is from my own perspective and would have been the same even if vellfire had been around to defend herself. but let me speak for her just this once then: she doesn't want to partake in this debate, and if she did there would be nothing to say that I haven't already said.

You're an admin ruining a whole different topic. Take it to PM. Even your members are requesting this.

Yes, that's exclusively my fault and not earlchip's, or farren's, or bonzi_buddy's, or terrorantula's.

Like I said, I'm happy to take it to PM but if someone posts a public message that needs to be addressed, I'm going to respond to it. I'm not about to leave those messages unanswered so that other people can read them and get the wrong idea. And honestly I don't think there's anything left to debate. Earlchip wants an apology from me for being rude and he's not going to get it.

To everybody else: stop making speculative statements about this case. Let it rest.

there won't be a fucking topic. I'm going to PM vel and hopefully she gets notified about it. if v's reading this, or you have contact with her, feel free to tell her she has nothing to worry about. I'm sending a massive apology as you read edit: it was never about her, it was about me being offensive in the process of trying to support mince, and then later it was about dada being a massive dick.

btw if you're going to be stern but understanding in PM and then act like a mediator in public I really don't think you should bother. I've been offended over and over again by dada, and it really annoys me to see you go out of your way to be totally impartial here. thanks for the info and all.

EDIT - sorry bonzi, as I said in PM, I just really don't want to see anyone acting impartial towards dada. I know you've been the one to actually tell me where I was wrong, and I didn't mean to imply that you're like in any agreement with me. anyway, I don't want a mediator because I'm not talking to dada again until this has blown over. he's only helped escalate the situation, whatever his intentions supposedly are.

I can sympathize with Dada on not wanting to let a publicly posted question left publicly unanswered, but I'd assume Earlchip is feeling the same way about it. It's annoying, one of you should just suck it up and not get the last response on the topic.

Also, both of you are pissy about us not taking sides in your argument which is stunningly irresponsible. I'm not sure, some people might pick sides silently, but they maybe don't want to post which side they are on since that's just risking creating a rift which is obviously not something anyone wants.

Just either let it go or immediately take this discussion up on PM. Ripping your self away from the other's biting response, WITHOUT RESPONDING, is exactly what would have garnered respect. (at least in my case) If there are some that are honestly curious about it, they can PM either of you with their own questions.

On topic: Where did this deckhands thing come from? or was that just spontaneous?

I've already said I'm not responding to him anymore, warp. and it's not that I want people to pick sides, I just don't want anyone trying to mediate. because at this point it's entirely one-sided, and pretending to be impartial to that starts to legitimize his wrongdoing.

Honestly both your reactions seem reasonable when you look at it from your individual perspectives.

I'd make sure to stay out of this one, ter. I know you have the best intentions, thank you

btw I'll say this much publicly for anyone who cares (everyone is annoyed BUT) banning mince was the right thing to do. not on some principle of not letting people with issues in, but because what he was doing to vel had to be stopped, and banning really is the only way to make that happen. take my word for it if you don't believe me. this probably looks like an about face for me but I really don't care! everything's far from resolved but I thought I'd put that out there

u have my permission to discuss other things everyone. someone please talk about ragnar's single

I wish I could take in-depth history courses like that. our library doesn't even have any exhaustive history books on anything besides egypt, greece and rome. topic proposal: preindustrial khmer history!! sources: encyclopedia brittanica, world atlas, national geographic

if you know of any good khmer books btw hook me up. but I know you're a china guy ya jurchen
I don't know anything about Khmer.  A guy who lived in the town my community college was in invented this machine to detect land mines safely and he used it in Khmer to help the population there cuz there are a bunch of landmines in the ground...it's bad.

Also, my uni has the Center for Southeast Asian Studies and you can learn Khmer language (as well as Thai and Tagalog).  Pretty sweet stuff.
