[FONT color=#007f40]And the third confirmation comes from the tactile plane: I'm touching a cold metal bar, which is part of a larger structure. [/FONT]

[So I take it this was the REAL reason why you've been UNCHARACTERISTICALLY trollish in my threads in the past few days, pissing and moaning all the time, threadjacking big time and making all sorts of unfounded allegations?]

Bad girl...



You should've created this thread sooner. I was about to shit on you big time for being such a nag.



As it turns out, something has been bothering you...



But unlike you, if I write here I'll be making ON TOPIC comments and not necessarily criticize your choice of subject matter:





I've been in an environment opposite to yours. All female staff.



This was never openly expressed but you could feel that men were unwelcome there.



You could also feel how 1-2 particular individuals were intensifying the toxic atmosphere with their attitudes.



I never got to work there full time, and looking back I feel that was the best thing that could've happened.



If you're feeling unwelcome, and if your perception is correct, either you can choose to prove that you're being discriminated based on your gender (uphill battle, but could be financially rewarding in the end), or just move on and find an environment where you'll be more welcome.

Have we discussed this before? No need to retype. Just point me to an URL.



Even if it may've been written by a friend of yours... I'd like to see it to refresh my memory.



Maybe it'll shed some light on this recent hostility I've been receiving. [A onclick="addImg('icon/icon_smile_sleepy.gif')" href="jvascript:void(0)"][/A]

What's your opinion on all this powertripping?



Clearly you must have a perspective on things...

If she didn't have anything to hide, why is she deleting ALL my messages (addressed to you BTW) and frantically banning me then?



What grudge does she have against me? Or perhaps she doesn't want me revealing some of the games you're well familiar with...



With you out of the way, she has more power now. Great.



You're a loyal friend modulus, but please... don't lie - even for the sake of friendship. (There's only so much PC bullshit some of us can take.)



Here's another message I posted a few seconds ago, in all likelihood it's immediately deleted and the IP banned. What gives... don't you wonder?

I'll be emailing him soon...

You can't sweep this under the carpet ydv, no matter how hard you try.

It's beyond your control, and beyond your petty games now.

Delete this one also, since you seem to enjoy powertripping so much.

Hey what ever the fuk happened to the NO DELETIONS rule?

Oh I get it... that was to drive modulus crazy, and get him to resign wasn't it?

Well you must be happy, since you've achieved your goal.

Edit:
I see you've already banned 207.102.64.85
Cute trick.
Do you want to ban the whole Telus domain to silence me?

YOUR TRUE COLORS HAVE COME OUT YDV... AND THEY AIN'T PRETTY.

SHAME ON YOU!



[/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE]

I just edited the URL above, so it won't overstretch the screen.

 [FONT color=#ff0000]Update: As it turns out ydv wasn't the one responsible for the deletions and banning although it certainly appeared to be that way at the moment. [/FONT]

 [FONT color=#ff0000]The cowardly a**hole who was powertripping deleting my messages and banning my IP while leaving all other filth on there, has yet to come out to apologize for his actions. [/FONT]

 [FONT color=#ff0000][/FONT]

[FONT color=#ff0000][/FONT]  

Ok, a lot of powertripping going on at DV at the moment... ydv won't even allow me to say good bye to him.



She keeps deleting all my messages. [FONT color=#ff0000]What ever happened to the no deletion rule?[/FONT] But she is keen to leave all the flames directed toward me. Nice job.



Essentially first I had posted a link to my message above with a humorous note saying that although had abandoned me in the past, he was still good in my books.



That was immediately deleted.



Then she deletes this:



 Aww ydv powertripping again...?

Deleting all my messages.

You won't even let me say good bye to him?

This was the message you were trying to delete: [A onclick="addImg('icon/icon_smile_cool.gif')" href="jvascript:void(0)"][/A]

And yes, this one as well as the previous one you were so keen to delete before he got to see, WILL BE resurrected at DS.

Raging Poodle, you're free to try to impose your will on this thread, and others are free to tell you to get over yourself. How would I feel if someone hijacked my thread? When I posted on DV it happened CONSTANTLY. I love that shit. The only time static really got to me was when someone got ahold of my home phone # and called me up from Canada. That cut a little too close to the bone. Otherwise, this is the Net and getting too hung up on ownership of the "airwaves" will only drive you crazy in the end.  
   Tenkani, shut the f*ck up please.



Create a new thread titled "Oh how I hate Raging Poodle!'s threads" instead of constantly hijacking this one, and invite PC there.



So the two of you can bitch and moan till the cows come home, ok?

 I will tell you why I went there... this issue was about stalking, not real life of course, but harrassing posts in multiple threads every single day, many posters follow others into multiple threads whenever they post, change the subject, and insult every day continually... that is what I was trying to stop, maybe I was wrong in thinking that was a problem.

   [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffbf"]anyways, I don't really need the headache, and am quitting as a moderator[/FONT]

I hope you got a chance to follow this thread and some of my comments, before shitheads hijacked it.



(See [A href="http://discoverseattle.net/forums/index.php/topic,4490.msg69823.html#msg69823"]http://discoverseattle.net/forums/index.php/topic,4490.msg69823.html#msg69823[/A] and the intro to it a few messages earlier, if you haven't already)



The stalking and harrassment you're referring to ARE real issues, esp. on DV.



However mods need to have a unified strategy in dealing with such issues, instead of certain mods' taking advantage of their position (and lack of competent supervision) to satisfy their personal vendettas.



That's why once in a while I alluded to what I saw was happening, but of course it would be quickly hushed, deleted, and swept under the carpet.

[/DIV][/DIV]I know you didn't want to be in this position. You found yourself without a choice. You were cornered into it.

[FONT color=#000000]You're right Raging Poodle...this isn't DV.  So why are you so intent on bringing all DV's problems HERE?  I understand you're not happy with how things are going over there....but is it really fair to bring it all HERE to hash it out?  Pages and pages of pasted issues you want sorted out, but you're trying to sort it out with the wrong people.  No?[/FONT]

  It's a topic, PC. You really don't have to read it if it doesn't interest you.



Do you think I click on every copy pasted odd news item that's posted on here?

[/DIV]
 No. I only click on those that interest me, and sometimes I comment on them.

  If it turns out that I don't like the chosen news item, I don't start picking on the OP saying hey why're you pasting all the stupid news items here? Do you think DS is a news collection agency? Why should I care about what seems interesting to you, etc. etc.



Do you see my point?

 Yup. Read the whole thread not just the quote.

The "new policy" doesn't open the door to everything because as the little warning before a post says, anything that's legally classified as a hate crime is still verboten. Why are flames Ok but not racism? Ug. Raging Poodle, I actually respect you, but if you had your way everything interesting about DV would be bled dry.

  EDIT: And you're not a mod here, so deflate your f*ckin head.

Do I need to be a mod to be able to request that people posting in a thread stick to the topic?



I hesitate to call it "my" thread, but yes I happen to have created it because it's a subject of interest to me and I wouldn't hearing from those sharing the same interest.



And now that you mention it, you've made quite a few off topic remarks in this thread yourself. How about cleaning them up?



How would you like it if other people came into your threads, and started trolling, hijacking, and shitting all over the place?

 No, you didn't read that wrong. That's EXACTLY what they mean. That's why I'm reacting.



The asshat posting first as orly, then trying to handlejack me in this thread is too retarded to see that giving such a blank cheque can only lead to an increase in racist and hate threads.



Where do you draw the line between an insult and racist comment? Why should one be allowed and other not?



What makes stalking and harrassment OK?



Here's a notable quote from another DV mod who defends that approach:





 [TABLE id=Table2 style="COLOR: midnightblue; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; 10pt: " cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=10 width="100%" border=0] [TBODY] [TR bgColor=whitesmoke] [TD style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" vAlign=top align=left]ydvmod[/TD] [TD colSpan=2][/A][/b]



There're tonnes of messages like that constantly urging harrassing, stalker types of messages to blossom and flourish on DV.



You're not even supposed to complain now if it happens to you. That's what that policy statement is about.



So yes, you've read it correctly.
