Ban-a-Jerk

[Ranokoa]

I have seen a lot of the Ban for Fun and like it. Well, I thought.. Why not ban people that we chose?

 

How it works:

Ban someone you know that is so highly doubtful anyone else here WILL know who has just been a jerk to you at some random point in your life that you remember. Feel free to be as detailed as you can if comfortable to do so. Remember, no one is judging you, except Paula Randy and Simon. And me...

 

Senior Year History Teacher - Strike 1, 2 and 3.

1: Your face.

2: Insulting my intelligence.

3: Requiring me to prove, time and time again, that the text book was wrong and I was right, and I can teach the class the class, literally, better than him, and even he would learn something.

 

Added 4: Your face again.

I actually banned an ex-employee from the store I manage, he was a, well I can't think of anything polite, but tried to "divide and conquer" the team. Instead we banded together and got him booted. I wasn't the manager at that point, but took over shortly after, so then I banned him from the premises for good measure. He didn't like it. I even had to get the police involved when he wouildn't acccept his banning! HAH! So, yeah, just because I can, I ban him from here too!

Banning (From life. Yes. I said from) my Year 8 English teacher.

 

She said, and I quote: "I hate to think of what a disappointment you are to your family"

I swear I was trying so hard not to smack her out right there.

My algebra teacher

Strike 1: Giving like a HELL of a lot of homework over the weekend

Strike 2: Never explaining anything we don't understand

Strike 3: Being the meanest teacher you will ever face

 

I seriously want her banned forever.

If you read this, my apologies for the horrible times he put you through. Feels a little therapeutic huh? Well, if you ever return, despite the justified reason, I must ask you to use better language.

 

Be well, sleep well, fight well, live long.

I respect you, Raonoka, but you should not speak ill of those who are gone.

 

Some of us were his friends.

"Strike 3: Being the meanest teacher you will ever face"

 

Wrong. You have not met my english teacher.

"Strike 3: Being the meanest teacher you will ever face"

 

Wrong. You have not met my english teacher.

Haven't and ill want to keep it that way

Maybe I was unclear. Let me break it down:

 

If you read this, my apologies for the horrible times he put you through. Feels a little therapeutic huh? Well, if you ever return, despite the justified reason, I must ask you to use better language.

 

Be well, sleep well, fight well, live long.

Lets go sentence by sentence.

 

"If you read this, my apologies for the horrible times he put you through." This was not sarcastic, nor sardonic, nor facetious. I was being serious. I am truly deeply sorry that someone had to go through something such as this in their childhood and have no justice brought to the culprit.

 

"Feels a little therapeutic huh?" Obviously I was referring to the fact that he is ventilating his anger towards this person publicly. It is very therapeutic and calming to express one's self. If I had revised this into something such as, "Feels therapeutic to have your entire year and leg wrecked." it would be a different case. But given the context of the previous statement it is in no way close to that meaning.

 

"Well, if you ever return, despite the justified reason, I must ask you to use better language." No matter the cause or case nothing justifies the use of profanity within this community. I was not implying that he has a filthy mouth, or that he shouldn't return, or even stating it rudely. If I had said something similar to, "Don't ever come back you horrible potty mouth, nothing that happens to you is an excuse [blah blah blah]" Then, again, it'd be a different case. However, the situation is not this. The fact is he was a bit too loose with his self expression. The fact I said "despite the justified reason." means I acknowledge that he has a legitimate reason in which he is using vulgarities. Which is why I didn't say anything like, "You have no excuse."

 

"I must ask you to use better language." I didn't say, "Shut your dirty mouth." or anything like that. I literally asked, politely, for him to not be so loose with his self-censorship if he is ever to return, which I do indeed hope for some day. BUT:

 

"If you ever return." meaning he was banned. The moderators here so very rarely make any mistakes. I say this because they are human and are unfortunately susceptible to flaw. I am an example of such a flaw of an incorrect ban many a year ago. But that is a different story, and they had enough legitimate plausibility to ban me in case the reason in which they did was true. It was not, I proved it, and was promptly unbanned by Dark0ne. I wasn't angered or agitated about the situation, and put it behind me before it was even finished. The point being, which is why I provided a link, he did in fact break a rule legitimately, and did a nasty "no no." Now, I'm not saying this makes him a bad person, but the rules aren't there to be just followed by people who aren't good people, they are there for everyone. He broke a rule, and he has to have his consequence. People do get reinstated, and given the magnitude of this particular ban I believe he has quite the potential to rejoin the Nexus after a proper amount of "leaning time" to be decided by the moderators. No one is above the rules, and I was not implying that he was a horrible person.

 

"I respect you, Raonoka" And I thank you very much so for this, and I also thank the kind and polite way you expressed your concern about this to me.

 

" but you should not speak ill of those who are gone.

 

Some of us were his friends."

 

I was not in any way speaking ill of him. If anything, quite the contrary. And I too had a fondness for conversing with this person.

 

I must cut this message short as I am being forced to give up the laptop. >_<

 

I hope this cleared things up and you understand I was not insulting this particular person in any way shape or form. Now, if you will, ban someone who scorned you in real life. :)

 

Be well, sleep well, fight well, live long.

I apologize for acting on my misinterpretation.

 

But I have been feeling somewhat terrible about the whole situation, and I've been less than rational.

I feel somewhat responsible for the whole thing, as the file was a resource intended for me.

 

When I read it, even though it was not your intent, my misinterpretation made it a bit like salt in an open wound.

 

Thank you for being understanding.
