But this is the internet, everything is serious.

Yeah, clearly I never got that memo. It's good to see the bandwagon is somewhat intact :)

I just assumed you were being hostile because you were smacked as a kid.
Seeing as we're both damaged in that way.

I seriously just thought what you said was funny Fetcher. :)

It's my sense of humour, I over exaggerate and I'm heavily sarcastic. I'm glad someone appreciates it :).

my bad. i wasn't privy to the fact that a line through someone's name meant they'd deactivated their account themselves. i thought that meant they were banned.

Well you can't deactivate your own account. He asked for it.

Clearly you didn't catch MY sarcasm.

I think zevokes has done a great job in summing up recent events in the poll and lecture threads. What he says about workmates happens all the time irl :-

I can see where everyone is coming from here, and it's a shame when things like this happen. i get that people rag on each other for kicks... i did a buncha years of concrete and at first i thought they didn't like me cuz they were doing that, but really they just wanted me to respond wittily and somewhat abrasively to pass time and see that i would stick up for myself. it's a weird thing, but it's actually productive. but i also see where vegangelica is coming from. it's hard to watch someone get offended by way of not really being privy to the workings of a community. but that's exactly why this happened... because it's a community. mods are mods cuz they've been here awhile, and they're probably the most comfortable... so they are probably more prone to dicking around and testing boundaries, perhaps unwittingly sometimes, and perhaps sometimes crossing a line.

in this case, i'd chalk it up to sh*ts and giggles, of which i'm sure whiskey is more than welcome to join in on.

HOWEVER, i do think that the thread started about vegangelica'a lectures was in bad taste. i do realize she can be pretty intense, but i don't think she's someone this forum should so vehemently try to exile... or even someone i think should not be here at all. her contributions are as genuine as they come. i saw a comment about the length of her posts, and i remembered the great breakdown she gave to a guy who was looking for opinions about a tune he was making. it was huge! that's awesome to me. she's supportive and wants to help in what ways she can. sure. maybe she over-reacts a bit sometimes, but whether we all are guilty of that or not, we're all guilty of something.

she's just passionate, as far as i can tell. i say leave'er be and that out of respect for an openness i think people desire the thread she's being ridiculed in be deleted. she's just another human guys, and that thread is genuinely hurtful.

I think Vegangelica makes a very positive contribution to the forum, and I like the way that she demonstrates to newcomers that there`s a range of opinions here on MB. If she and the mods cross swords occasionally, I hope that`s something that everyone involved can live with, because imo that kind of difference of attitude shows that the forum is a healthy.

Can`t really top zevokes`s analogy, but I see the mods here as the hard-working, hard-boiled policemen; they sometimes have to deal with some pretty creepy guys, and perhaps their attitude comes across as brusque at times because of that. In this strained metaphor, Vegangelica is the social worker, grumbling about police brutality and telling the vagrant that there`s a refuge for him in the city. In fact both roles contribute to good of the community and both roles deserve respect. To me it`s not a case of who`s right or wrong; it`s about different opinions co-existing in the same place, complimenting each other by providing a broad spectrum of responses to a new kid in town.

as far as my analogy goes, i should have included that i had two bosses when i did concrete. they were equal in their stakes. if one of those bosses - sarcastically or not - told me to kill myself because i couldn't handle an aspect of the job, the other boss would beat the living p*ss out of him. i have no doubt in my mind about that. they run an old school crew, and if someone did something dumb enough, sh*t got physical.

and fletcher, i don't give a damn about your inane justifications. i don't know what sex you are, but if you have a d*ck between your legs, you can be damn sure that if you said something like that in the presence of me i'd follow by bosses' example to a tee. there are some things you just don't say. f*cking idiot.

someone should delete this thread. it's disgusting.

i'm going too far? someone can tell someone to kill themselves, barely anyone says anything about it, and me telling someone i'd kick their ass for such ridiculous sh*t is too far?!

whatever. i'm just going to accept this. it's absurd. but that is okay.
