Him
Well I dont agree with what DocZ did as I said telling someone to die under another persons name was not a good move, even jokingly. But what compounded the issue was the timing. The day Doc chose to do that also happened to be the day radbag/ a few others went crazy and took over the pub with all those mindless posts and attacking a pubster as well as the mods. So the mods were on red alert and then up pops the DocZ thing and it was taken care of with a ban.

You need a partner, cause you are dancing 47 ways around my question. You have told me three times how you didn't like what Doc did. However, you have yet to answer my question. Why was one banned and the other not? Surely, Doc wasn't banned because Rad made up a few innocent threads.
It really is ok if you just tell me that it is because you like one of the people but don't like the other. I would at least respect you if you did. I have responded to all of your questions without dancing around them, at least show me the same courtesy.
You know, for what it's worth, TT, I am the guy who first pissed on the rep thread. And I pissed on rep -- not Vanders. I said that it -- not she -- was stupid. And I said that I thought rep made a different sort of atmosphere, and I didn't like that atmosphere, and as such I thought I should stand up and say so.
And I am not part of the Baka dialogue, so I will not jump in. Clearly I'm on your side here.
I dislike his statement that these were mindless posts. That's horse shit. They -- at least mine -- were very principled posts, which attacked no one in any way whatsoever. They insulted (I'll cop to that) a new feature of GC, a feature that I thought was pretty much a lame circle jerk.
So I call massive shenanigans on Baka's characterization of that exchange. The truth is more like this: I complained about rep and said I thought it was stupid. I was then attacked -- loser, nothing better to do with my time, bitter, cynical, I forget what else. I think I even got a couple how-dare-you-you-loser PMs. Never a word of sorry-about-that from anyone over there -- and I go back on that board and its predecessors like eight or nine years.
Tales and brews. Everyone welcome. Fuck you.
Ordinarily I don't get into these tussles with GC. I don't like Matt's thread posting habits, and I made it clear to him once or twice -- first time was in a PM directly to him several years ago.
And I am realizing now that I write this out that I am still pissed about that day and the fallout.
I guess that's all I've got to say.
PS You want to pass this along to any mod over there, go right ahead. Quote it all, and use my name.
