1. I'd suggest that posting while drunk is a bad idea, as is adminning while drunk.
2. I'd suggest that everyone - EVERYONE - both forget what was said by everyone, and on the other hand keep in mind that not everything has to be the Battle of fucking Waterloo. Yes, I include myself in this.
3. I apologize for my part in the whole mess.
4. I won't be getting involved in any more dogpiles among established members of the community, but neither will I interfere.
5. Until a few things get cleared up, I won't be splitting or moving any threads whatsoever. If anyone needs this done, I suggest you contact Cain or Cramulus. I will continue adminning in other respects, but I won't be the cleaning crew until such time as I quit being accused of doing said things for my own benefit, rather than at the request of a board member.
6. In reference to 5, I am no longer interested in criticism as to how I do the admin job. If anyone has complaints, however, they should forward such complaints to the other admins, who will I am sure take a good look at the situation and take the appropriate steps. Seeing as how my actions are assigned motives by others, with nobody asking me why I did something (or even IF I did something), I can no longer give a flying fuck as to the opinions of my detractors. This extends to my behavior in general, particularly while dealing with the same tired trolls posing as new people...Which is to say, I won't be doing ANYTHING unless I can prove that poptard is occurring. Frankly, I don't get paid for this, and I'm more than a little tired of being called everything short of Adolf fucking Hitler. Someone else can deal with that shit.
That is all.
Sure glad I've never posted drunk or had a melt-down.
What?
Damn.
You're my go to guy Roger. What the fuck am I going to do now?
I doubt any other admin will listen to me bitch and whine.... :cry:
Hold on...
I strongly suspect that Lies may have been in an altered state... But was Roger, as well?

No. And I didn't do any adminning yesterday.

Not to answer for Roger but long term meds are an altered state for me. Some days they take over.
Goddammit.
This just needs to die, along with a secret, insulting sub-forum.
Sorry to derail Roger. The second half of Point #1 threw me. Who was admining while drunk?
@4: You and Lys have been poking at each other for as long as I can recall. It may have been a bit more intense yesterday than normal, but it wasn't all that bad. The problem is that a few things you tossed out there were parroted by a bunch of other members. One of them happened to be the pedo thing.
Dogpiling happens, drama happens, fuck it, we move on. If you're going to join in on attacking another member, at least do it for your own reasons. A bunch of people shouting pedo, which was based on Roger's previous interactions with Lys, is nothing more than gibbering. I get that some members have more respect than others, like now Net's defense was tossed out but ECH's was given some thought, but that's no excuse to just mindlessly agree.
I'd like to invoke the Think For Yourself, Schmuck principle here. It doesn't just apply when you're out in the world with a bunch of morons, it applies especially when you're here and among people with incisive, compelling words. And I disagree that this needs to die - I say own up to the dirty business and learn from it instead of trying to forget it.

I can't recall saying "pedo". I recall saying some shit about teenagers, but 18-19 year olds are teenagers, too. Lys first said "pedo", when he got sick of the shit, and then other people said it.
But now I said it, whether or not I did. Just like I moved his threads to "hide my actions". Just like I'm the fucking default bad guy in every single situation.
I could give a fuck about this incident. I'm just tired of everyone automatically, EVERY FUCKING TIME, starting on the assumption that I'm some evil fucking mastermind that MAKES OTHER PEOPLE DO BAD THINGS, or admins in inappropriate ways, for my own ends.

Not saying publicly, but the fact that the assumption that it was me illustrates my point, LMNO.
In any given situation, I'm the shithead.
Even, for example, when I don't show up for the first third of an argument. I still somehow started it. I MADE someone post while belligerently drunk. I was the admin that had a few that did some interesting adminning, even though I was, you know, at work. I was the one who said "pedo", even though I didn't.
I use my mind control lasers, and my bottomless barrel of evil motives and shady modding. It's quite a trick, and tires me out.
Now, just a minute. I asked a question, because I was confused. Lies was acting oddly, and was the ONLY one, as far as I could tell.
When you alluded to a drunk admin, with no other public evidence, I assumed a self-deprecating comment. Ok, it was an assumption, and (apparently) made an Ass out of Me.
But it did cause confusion for me, and so I asked if you were... but I thought the way I asked it gave the above context, that it didn't seem like it. If I had said, "So, Roger was drunk, then..." that would be more of a conclusion leap.
...
I just realized I'm stretching out the drama here. I apologize. I just wanted to clarify that I more confused than certain about point #1.

My post was really not about you, and certainly not about you being the bad guy. It's more of an observation that, no, a good number of our forum members are not making their own judgments. I don't see how it's your fault with mind lasors or some bullshit if someone else can't act of their own accord.
For the record, I'd like to take the shameful credit of starting shit yesterday, when Lys came across as particularly, well, whiny in his game thread, which I've been dealing (poorly) with IRL and can't react to, and also calling Lys a creeper. He's not.
Sorry, Lys. :(

Sorry to derail Roger. The second half of Point #1 threw me. Who was admining while drunk?
That is in reference to me, though I was far from drunk. I had had a few drinks (like 3), just enough to think it was amusing to bust Lys' chops while he was posting (apparently) drunk. I like Lys, no matter what anyone else thinks of him, and everything I said to him was (obviously, I think) meant in good-natured jest.
I also never thought that thread would ACTUALLY hit 20 pages and force me to make good on the "giving him a subforum" thing, so when I had to pony up I did it in what I thought was a humorous manner. I'm sorry for my part in the whole thing just because it seems to have inadvertently instigated what happened.
As for the remark about the thread being moved to cover up what happened, that was inappropriate and said in the heat of an angry moment, and even more inappropriate since the majority of my anger at the situation was not directed at Roger (who has a long-standing if somewhat antagonistic repoire with Lys) but at the people who dogpiled in at the end of the thread.
Roger, I apologize for accusing you of moving the thread for your own selfish reasons. I hope you know that if I really thought you were a dirty admin, you wouldn't BE an admin.
Lys, I apologize for the fact that my failed attempt at a humorous moment provoked the ensuing shitstorm.
Everyone else who was directly involved, though I love you all, can go piss up a rope until they apologize to Lys and in some cases Net as well.

To Lys, I apologize wholeheartedly.
I have never thought you were a pervert, pedo, or anything like that. Lys, I'm sorry and I don't want you to leave PD.
I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything about Lies other than his new game had poorly thought out rules.
Which I still hold to be true. However, if I did slip up and insult him in some way, I apologize.
I've already apologized to Lies over my part in the other day, but would also like to apologize to board in general for being such an asshole. There wasn't any excuse for it. So, I'm sorry.
On a related note, I'm going to back off from the forum for a week or so. Need to get bearings and decide exactly what I'm doing here. Don't want anything like the other day to happen ever again.

You gotta get back on the horse that threw you immediately. It's the only way.
For the record as I never want it said I am not the southern lady my momma raised.....
Net I truly apologize for my most unladylike behaviour towards you the other day.
I don't think I did anything to insult Lys or throw any fuel on the fire. If I did, I apologize. My part in it was that I really was curious what kind of subforum Lys would get. Naturally I was disappointed since it was a secret one.
I'd like to say to everyone, "Sorry, I slept right through the whole debacle".
But that would be an outrageous lie. I'm fucking glad I slept right through it. And I'm glad I know nothing about anything that was said. Judging by the climbdowns and apologetic overtones ITT, it seems everyone involved tossed a toy or two out of the pram. But what the fuck, they're only Toys. And it all seems to be business again as usual. Which is good, and it saves everyone having to mooch about like a bag of slapped twats for days and days. Like it would be on a forum full of lesser mortals.
