Time for a change.

So who is it?

poptart?

I am so lost.

My preference would be to not start a lynch mob at this point until some facts are known.  However, if this is for real then this would be a suitable reaction:

Thats why I wish someone would tell us something.

I thought I had some clue about what started this, but apparently I don't.  Hm.

Don't worry about it. The situation will resolve itself and if it needs to resolve itself in a more public manner (which hopefully it won't) then everyone will be made way more aware of it than they'll want to be.

ETA: Please feel free to cut & paste this post for future use during any PD drama, as it's pretty much always going to be true.

Good advice, now that I reflect on it.

Good point, ECH. I have not and will not seek further details, but my statement stands.

Not going into details, in case the people who told me about this misunderstood the situation.

I am instead going to rely on a policy of horrendous, out-of-proportion retaliation in the event that anything IRL occurs.

If someone from here is in any way trying to create an unwanted channel of communication with you off the boards they need to go and potentially have a restraining order Caustic Enema.

An arguments an argument, and if its on the internet that's where it stays.

That's kind of what I'm hoping.

If there's a chance its bullshit that's promising, if it isn't then I don't know what to say other then I can do my best to fully remove them from here. I will not allow illegal or threats towards users such as IRL stalking them from here, as much to cover my own ass legally as to protect the users of the site.

I don't think we're at that point, Faust.  I have heard different things from 3-4 different people, but nothing that was a direct threat of IRL action.  My PMs to the person involved haven't been answered, but that in itself means nothing.

Barring any sign of anything actually happening, I'm assuming "innocent until proven Tentasticle."

[Faust]

Hopefully that's the case, but keep me in the loop if you need a hand.

Or if he plans on telling us what's wrong with the Cult of Roger.

[LMNO, PhD (life continues)]

Well, given the recent shennanigans, it's fairly obvious that something has to give.  Hell, looks like something DID give.

What it all boils down to is that I'm not accomplishing anything.  Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm just spinning my wheels.  As a result, I've decided on a few things:

1.  I will continue the Horrorology threads, which will appear approximately whenever I have something I feel is worth saying.  Right now, I have quite a bit to say, so expect next week to bring 3-5 new threads.  After that, I can't say, though I suspect I will continue at about the same rate.  As far as the recent idiocy goes, if anyone still has a grudge, go right ahead.  So long as it stays online, you may find it rather boring, though, as I no longer care about it, and won't participate.

2.  I will tie up a few loose ends.  I never did post all the letters I wrote last year, for example.

3.  I will continue to perform admin functions as required.

4.  Aside from the above, I'm going to take a break from things, for 3 reasons, none of which involve butthurt:

- In the interests of SCIENCE, I want to see if Cram and Rat were barking up the right tree about reasons for people leaving, etc.  Related note:  Despite the statements I made during my portion of the tantrum, nobody has to erase my shit from anywhere.

- I have a new idea that I'm chasing, but the nature of the idea means it won't work here.  If it works out, I will be inviting a few people in on the idea as it progresses.

- I'm simply bogged down with obligations.  I want to finish editing LMNO's stuff in time for it to go in the mail on Thursday, I owe Pent a script, I owe Manubu a set of science fiction rules for pathfinder (those will be available to anyone that wants them), and I have a whole raft of personal, IRL things that I simply MUST take care of.

Thanks again for your help on my stuff, and I'm looking forward to more Horrorologys.  And good luck with your off-board projects, too.
