This has been your daily reminder that being an all-around asshole is verboten. Thank you!

I witnessed three games of diplomacy with kansasboyd and each one devolved into an unprovoked tantrum. Good riddance.

"I am frankly pretty surprised that brainbomb's thread a couple nights ago only resulted in a locking, for instance. It was pretty blatant targeting and according to our own rules should probably have resulted in a silence, especially as it wasn't the first time this happened."

Since the mods have heard this criticism sooooo many times, including from KansasBoyd, we almost always give people a warning if they have never been warned or silenced before. If the offense is absolutely terrible, we might forgo a warning, but in this case, we gave brainbomb a warning. We do this by email instead of giving out public warnings. As such, the thread was locked and brainbomb was warned but not silenced because he had never been warned or silenced before. If he violates the forum rules in the future, he would likely be silenced. Just because nobody told you specifically that the problem was addressed behind the scenes doesn't mean that the problem wasn't addressed at all.

The thing about that thread is it was a word by word story, so who was responsible for targeting Kansas?
Brain had no way of knowing how the story would go. For all he knew It could have ended up being "Kansas is a swell guy"

The thing about the final solution is it was a step by step process, so who was responsible for targeting Jews?
Hitler had no way of knowing how the process would go. For all he knew It could have ended up being "Semites suffer no ill effects from breathing gas"

Kansas is a fucking state. I didnt say kansas boyd. The fact the thread was muted when two mods took part in the story shows eden is a tool who just is sad another trump guppie got canned from the site

CroakandDagger: (Claims all alternative views are silenced.)
Also CroakandDagger: (Isn’t silenced.)

We all know you would have picked Nebraska if you wanted a story about a state.

I'm dying

I picked oklahoma in the second one. JamesYanik didnt write the mods saying im attacking him

Point being he had no sense of humor at all. He couldve laughed and actually joined the story and made himself loveable. Seeing as how hes banned we can just remake the thread right? Is there a rule about making fun of banned losers?

Eh, I try to keep from posting too regularly, TrPrado. I've had a fair amount of time the past couple of days, but i've been silenced in the past for writing things that were not controversial.

The idea that brainbomb did not know what they were doing is laughable. And their provocation led to the banning of their victim. No wonder they're riding high on their smug self-satisfaction right now.

Ironically, I was willing to be a TA for KansasBoyd because he felt targeted and expressly was conciliatory and apologetic in my opening PM to him to help reassure him. Needless to say, that didn't work

The name JamesYanik doesn’t include “Oklahoma”

I offered to be a TA for fuckboyd and he told me I was a failure as a teacher and a fat disgusting cook.

I resent that, I am big boned.

BUT:

Based on everything I’ve seen from Kansas he absolutely was personally the reason people attacked him. I made fun of him because he treated literally everyone on this site like shit. He acted like he was the sole purveyor of all the worth in the world, and deserved every critique he got for it.

So it's alright to attack someone so long as you think they're unpleasant?

Noted.

I was warned. I do wonder if ezio was warned. If meme was warned. If yoyo was warned. If demonovermind was warned. The insult was driven more by them than me. Ban them all. #Ban all Liberals

Lets make the site ND, leon, eden, shigezio anti feminist dude, and croakand dagger just all playing anc med games and talking about the glorious future of the unstoppable republican party

technically it's not Oklahoma

the correct term is "occupied north Texas"

Yet

My assessment of the Republican party is that it is only unstoppable for as long as Democrats remain as elitist and unpleasant as they have been for the past few years, blind to problems that they don't want to admit exist.

I thought many members were rude and condescending to KB and the other players in the SOW thread, standing behind forum rules to tell KB to shut up and take it.

Thus, I supported KB's decision to defend himself on the forum as long as he didn't talk about the game, and as long as he was only responding to rude attacks. I even sent KB a PM of support and encouragement for the game.

Octavious, Eden, and Goldfinger are right, there was a lot of poor behavior all around on this one. Constructive criticism is fine, but it does not need to be rude and heartless. That definitely does not foster a welcoming culture for new players.

When KB, himself, started viciously attacking anyone who didn't 100% agree with him, he lost my support. (I only saw the SOW thread and game, so I did not follow other threads.)

In the end, I support Zultar's decision, and I appreciate that webDip does not tolerate hateful discourse.

I hold conservatives to a higher standard than liberals usually (because I'm conservative) so when someone like Kansas gets triggered over something like being called a snowflake when he literally just spammed another thread with "liberal snowflakes liberal snowflakes x20" he needs to take a break from the internet anyway and stop being a dick to everyone.
It's unfortunate he was a jerk that happened to be conservative.

“I thought many members were rude and condescending to KB”

Well then you were missing the half where he was condescending from the beginning of his participation on the forum.

We're not banning people for being condescending now, are we? There'd be no-one left.

I am not an American and most of the political debates here are just informative for me and I don't judge someone from them. I hadn't spoken with Kansas prior to SoW and during the early phases we were allies and talk to me nicely. when he started to believe the world was against him I talked with him and for not standing on his side I became an enemy too, he spoke badly to me in public and worse in private. I am sorry the whole thing ended to this, but as it went I can fathom how he'd stay after all these things he said.

Lets be fair. The only cool thing about kansas is dargorygel
