lol... Oh.... my.... God!
So this is what has transpired in
just 2 days??? . Eight pages ofus forum members bitching at each other. As much as I enjoy the idea of a forum upheaval, I must state that this was done the wrong way. Sure it's okay for ppl to learn the truth.. but I guess we all have our breaking points right?? heh
Okay.. to weigh both sides and choose whether or not I want to be for the dark side or join Luke Skywalker would be the reasonable thing to do. However, I'll show you all something. This is what happens when we mistake intelligence and brillaince for wisdom and experience. See no one is wrong.. in all honesty.. for we have just spoken our minds. Apart from ppl posting replies like
Quote:
yeah.. he's right.. listen to him.. and then they quote a huge block of reply made by a higher power.
In all honesty, what I see is a major misunderstanding between not just our friends... *cough* Kingryu1 and Restavega, but everyone in the forum that chose to post a reply here.. by either bad mouthing a mod, saying they are incompetent... or pointing out their mistakes or saying Restavega deserved to be banned for three days.
Try and understand both sides of the equation. There's Restavega and his lady's view.. the dude couldn't do anything mobile.. for sometime, so he did the next best thing. Stayed on the forum.. reply.. gave his opinion here and there. I don't see anything wrong with that... but I wouldn't have known the reasons behind his high amount of posts if I had just looked at the outer layer of the whole situation. Why has he replied or started topics that have earned him a total amount of posts of about 326 or so in the short time that he's been on the forum.. Well, let's see... how about the fact that the dude had nothing else to do but chill out in the forum that he likes so much.
Now don't get me wrong.. I'm not saying Restavega is Mr. Ghost here.. and is invisible from all the blame. Just try and read my reply.. before blowing my head off.
Then there's Kingryu1.. who thinks beyond reasonable doubt that Mr. Restavega deserves to be banned from the forum for spamming. He undoubtedly has reasons and proof. Now Windarossa.. like you, I also want to see this proof.. But you must understand that there are a few things that we have no access to in this forum. Even if Nferno666 or some other mod were to link us where this so-called proof is, we wouldn't be able to view it. So let's at least give them the benefit of doubt.. and believe in their words that they infact have enough proof to find Restavega guilty as charged.. but like you and I know now.. he had nothing else to do but stay on the forum.... so he shouldn't be banned.. should he??
Where this "thing" went hay wire.. was when Kingryu1 called Restavega an idiot.. right from that time, I knew something like this was gonna happen. Knowing fully well, that Restavega doesn't take insults likely.. and Kingryu1.. is just.. well.. let's just say a "meh" kinda guy. See.. maybe you
shouldn't have called him an idiont.. even though closing the topic was wise.. but calling the guy an idiot.. was a little too harsh. And I'm guessing that's where all this bad blood began to build.
Now what I'm saying here is, no matter how you look at this, each party would find himself right.. and wouldn't accept to his/her own folly. I'm not here to judge or say whether or not Restavega and Windarossa have every right to go against the community for being "harsh" to them... or whether or not Kingryu1 or Nferno666 ... or whoever banned Restavega was right to do so.. or like you put it, abusing their power. However, joining this forum.. as a normal member.. would mean that you're subjected to their power.. and how they choose to use.. well, let's just say.. all we can do is bitch about it.
What I do want us to know is that how it started doesn't matter anymore. We've all let out the necessary steam needed to be let out.. and every other person has heard the other side of the story. I believe from this time forth, Kingryu1 would be forthcoming with his warnings.. and have a little more control about the names he gives ppl that break the rules... eh?? Now calling them idiots wouldn't stop them from spamming would it?? :biggrin:
And Restavega, try and understand... this is not the first time this has happened.. nor would it be the last.. but when things like this happen.. I believe it's best to calm down.. smack our heads.. and not let our emotions take the better ofus. I always say this to those close to me.. The more you let ur emotions take control of you.. or wierd sides to ur personality.. that you urself do not understand would begin to show forth.
And if we keep on arguing till kingdom come, Kingryu1 may not apologize to Restvega for calling him an idiot..or for banning him (whether it was wrong or right.. in which case, I see no reason for an apology).. neither will Restavega see anything wrong with mode of conduct for the past 3 weeks that he's been on the forum. The result; more and more.. and more and more and more incoherent blabbing of how much wisdom.. or how right one party is, while trying to show how wrong the other party is.
It shouldn't have to lead to this.. even though I'm happy this happened.. It lets us see the true monster/reasonable human in all ofus.
I myself, am not a respecter of persons.. it's my code and what I believe in. However, I give honor to whom it is due... and I believe that it's my duty to respect the mods.. no matter how pig headed or unreasonable they are. That's the way this forum is. I remember reading some of the rules that state that.. But seeing that that has been tossed out of the window, well let's allow the flame and heat to die out as well.
For anyone who takes time to read all the "words", I've just written, note down the fact that I haven't send so so so and so is wrong.. while the other person is right... because I don't need to. Even if I go with one side, what'll that lead to.. more bitching and more anger being displayed by members of the forum.. until a mod/admin has enough and decides to lock down this topic.
In conclusion, guys, just let it go! I believe, Kingryu1 has had his share of bread and butter.. seeing that he isn't invisible to critism.. and Restavega.. try to understand that not everyone would see the saint in you.. or believe that you are right all the time.. For as humans, we make mistakes. What you term as
not spam.. may be spam to the mods and admins.. and with that, I believe they have reserved the rights to ban you on those grounds.. so in all honesty you wouldn't have a say.
So let's just take this as a learning process.. and learn from our mistakes. :biggrin: After all, Restavega isn't banend anymore.. and Kingryu1 is.. well, still a moderator (not that any bitching would have led him to be anything short of what he is.. :biggrin: )
-- Thanks to any soul who reads this in advance. :biggrin:
