Thoughts on Censorship & Bad Behaviour

Edit Post

AppleCore it makes you look pretty bad when you create a new username because of a 3-day ban that was originally a 4-week ban that got reduced TWICE, just to come back and argue the same points you already made quite adequately the first time.  And it makes Daemon look especially lenient and hands-off for allowing it.  What you're doing now is only hurting your case and strengthening theirs.

And people were telling Carter and myself we are FOOLS to think this 'Apple' person has a problem.

Silly us. 


I believe some are coming on here to discredit the entire forum which is what this is all about. We need to have 2 rules . Plain and simple and its up to Dameon to enforce it or get a moderator to enforce it.

Rule

1) This forum is borne out of dictatorship and fraud from sysop. We left due to his antics. Please do not mention him here. Go back to old forum  and discuss him all day on his forrum. Not here.  old forum  members are welcome as long as they respect our rules and members.

If you mention sysop in a way to promote him, your post may be deleted.

2) Do not put up links that can take folks on our site back to old forum . Back links to old forum  are a gateway for people to be steered right back to the same trap we just left. If you put up back links to old forum  they will be removed.

Again) Do not shill for the guy we just got away from, and do not post link backs to his site. Its not rocket science.

Now, for Gods sake. If you cannot handle dealing with these 2 basic rules, then you are not emotionally or intellectually fit for this place. Go there.

Do NOT come here and tell us we are full of crap and have to get our act together (cough Apple cough) Do not come tell us we are dictators for removing a back link from the very place we just tried to get away from.

This was a PM I sent to Dameon, he said it would help if other knew we have cleared the air.  Which we have.  I accept my faults coming across as an arrogant twat.  To anyone who was insulted I apologise.

QuoteDameon,

I felt victimized when I was banned earlier on.  I saw that TomD's explosive reactions to my (albeit sarcastic retorts) were not dealt with appropriately.

Whilst I still don't agree I should have been banned, I respect the fact you stuck to your word of three days and I respect the fact that you have banned TomD for his conduct accordingly too.

I don't want to post this in the thread you banned TomD in because I don't want to start another fight.  But I do want you to know that for what it is worth you have my respect.  My intention is not to destroy this place either.  I just feel that certain members who should not be calling shots are letting no power go to their heads.  I am getting the impression you too have now got this vibe too.

Thanks,

Apple

Great to have u back Apple!

There r bullies in forums. they just pick on others and start taking out whatever issues they have with themselves on others.
TomD has so much anger and he just takes it out on the wrong ppl.

I understand he is mad at Syop. So the fact that he cant take out his anger on the guy he ends up abusing others on this site.

I try to let these guys win what ever arguments they try to have with me. it makes you wonder whether some ppl r here to learn and contribute LL related information or just have a go at innocent ppl.

Bullies out there stop taking and/or making things personal. if someone disagrees with you just let it be. We can not all share the same opinions,perceptions, conclusions, LL goals, etc .

Onwards and upwards.

No one ever said it would be an easy ride!
