So, did anyone else see how Oso once again personally insulted one of the parties to a discussion on this forum and then locked the forum before anyone could respond to his insults?

Not only is it childish and inappropriate for a moderator to act this way, it's also proof that perhaps we should have moderators who have played a tradewars game in the current decade, or century.

I am sure he'll delete this like the coward he is, but at least maybe a few people will see it first. Oso, I don't know you, I have never spoken to you, and your personal insults are unnecessary and misdirected.

Sincerely,
Shadow

Maybe it is appropriate moderator behavior when children can't behave?

I was personally insulted as well but too polite to say so. He dismissed my VR version of TW out of hand, saying it would never happen.

I think that shutting down a thread when it's out of control and PM'ing those involved is appropriate. This is not:



And this is far from the first time he's acted this way. Ad hominem personal attacks are not what I would expect from someone who's supposed to be moderating.

Obviously you guys need a place to vent... but this isn't the place...

Since Hyperspace went down, there hasn't been a smack forum, so I created one for you guys:

p.s. No, I'm not going to read ANY of it....

To put this in terms you are more familiar with:

QQ Much?
Don't act stupid and then get butthurt when you get spanked for it.
I play, I just avoid Cruncher wannabes such as yourself.

TLDR;
Don't dish it if you can't take it.



Wasn't an attack, it was an observation.
When you act like a jackass, prepare to be treated like one.

I was admin at one forum, and mod here.
I have a low tolerance for stupidity, and even less patience with idiocy.
It comes from working in IT.
If you do not like how you are treated, I suggest you treat others better.
If you cannot handle that, I suggest you take Micro up on his offer.
Farley tells me you are a good dood (his words) and I have no reason to doubt it. However, acting in an untoward way, even toward people I cannot stand (Cruncher, I'm looking at you), will not be tolerated.
Can you live with that?

Oso, attacking Cruncher while your trying to make a point about what Shadow's is doing is just as bad. You are both wrong. Its was pointed out to me a few weeks ago that mods are better when they are not seen. you are pretty visible in this case.

sk

I LOVE everyone! Can't we just all get along?

Kumbaya....

Go back under your bridge...

You have been as a vitriolic wolf shouter, got salt in your wounds? Suck it up and learn a valuable lesson:



For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.



P.S. Hey Shadow, if I change my name to CBYYes could I join your permacorp of super-duper explosive awesomeness?

LOL, what permacorp? CBYNot and I have had a feud since long before you showed up here. I mostly play with flying aces. I don't play on your gay permacorp.

So, that is a yes then? Great! I will ICQ you directly for scheduling.

This precisely is why Oso closes threads, can we act like adults now?

I have not said anything bad negative about Cruncher, except that I dislike her. Not liking someone is fine, and does not qualify as smack, unless you use your words poorly to describe her. She is probably a nice person, but not someone I would want to associate with on the principle that she helped screw up v2. (Not going to debate that one here).

As for what Kaus said:

As I tell my children- "This is why we can't have nice things!"

This has taken its course. Just remember- there is no 1st Amendment right when it comes to private entities. If you don't like having your comments moderated, don't say stupid things. Keep that in mind next time.

As you can tell, I am open to feedback, and I appreciate some of the responses I have received in this thread. But QQing because butthurt is neither feedback nor useful.
