Chat has gone out of hand

[Ranokoa]

I didn't realize you posted in here. I haven't read many replies, but I will clarify something.

And then after that you flipped. We didn't insult you, but you were more than willing to say this:

Oh ya, and that wasn't nearly the end of it. You insulted several people several times all who were just politely asking you to not insult us Americans. That's all that happened.

 

It should have ended there, not you continuing it here trying to cover yourself by making you look like the plaintiff.

 

 

The joke part, although a bit too far, I suppose was a joke. What you did after that, however, was not. You flipped out and literally, without any type of the possibility of misinterpretation, insulted us.

 

And this, entire thing here, is just adding salt to the wound.

 

From now on, I shall drop it. I just want to ensure that you know that when you go to far that you can not just lie about it. Dark0ne can look at the entire logs to see the further damage caused by the "joke". And again, the "joke" is not the issue here, it's what happened after we told you, rather politely, that we don't like it.

 

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

So can we put this behind us, not make further nexus posts about it, and just be friends?

[AliasTheory]

Oh gosh. How disappointing...

 

I can only sigh.

[Lisnpuppy]

Personally...If I was all of your Mother I would smack you in the back of the head..all of you. Shame on all of you. This is exactly why I said it added so much work to the moderators.

 

Second @Ranokoa...it is good that you took screenies and reported this..i think. However if you are going to put up screenies as proof (AND PLEASE DO NOT PUT UP MORE THAT ISNT WHY I AM SAYING THIS)...I would have the entire conversation..which I assume you do. As the ones that you have posted have like about a 6 min gap.

 

I do not doubt anything and there is always 3 sides to stories, his side-her side and the truth.

 

But really....leave chat, take it to the moderators, don't bait or be baited. Pretend you are say..at work or somewhere that you can not just say whatever pops in your squirrel cage.

 

All of you all should know better. Stop taking things personal, stop having to have the last word, stop throwing insults around (joke or not..its hard to tell when one is TYPING) and hush!

 

Now...everyone have a cookie *hands cookie*

Here's my take on it. Nero should be punished for being rude, nasty, name-calling punk. None of it would have happened if he kept his trap shut.

 

I think it's kind of funny what KDS said because face it: American English is a bit bastardized from what it started as. He was only defending himself from a unnecessarily viscous attack from another member. And trying to make light of the situation by using humor. If I was called a "tard" on the chat, you can be sure I'd do a lot more than make lighthearted jokes about it.

 

ranokoa, how could ignore such a blatant attempt at trolling?

 

Now, I will state that clearly it dragged on a lot longer than it should have, and KDS certainly did not choose his future posts carefully... but I really feel like you reported the wrong person.

[Ranokoa]

Can it be a Chocolate Chip Cookie? And you're right.

 

@KDStudios - At the time I didn't see it as a joke. What the person above said is true, it is hard to tell when it's typed. From now on I'll try to relax it a bit more and see things in a better light first, despite how it may appear.

 

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

~Ranokoa

 

 

PS: Further screenies will not be posted. Even if I had em. It took like 2 minutes per pic to upload, it was a bit hard to get it all. Especially when you're not use to using a laptop without a mouse. >_<

"I think it's kind of funny what KDS said because face it: American English is a bit bastardized from what it started as."

 

British English is more than a bit bastardised compared with its origins. Ever tried to read Anglo-Saxon, or even early medieval English?

Looking at that last, I'd say that American stewardship of the English language has been commendable :)

 

@SavageArtistry -- Sorry yes, my mistake. I knew that the US had fixed on the one form (-ize, not -ise), whereas the UK still has the option.

 

For anyone sufficiently interested, there's a good Wiki page that deals with the evolution of English language:

Seriously people; grow a spine, grow a back-bone and stop being asses or don't enter the chat. If you can't handle a little pressure (and you can't handle someone saying they're reporting you without flipping out) then don't bother entering that environment.

 

Some members need to grow-up before I ban them for clearly not being over the 13 year-old age limit.

[bben46]

Maybe we should apply the 13 year old age limit to mental age rather than physical age?

If you can't act your age, back to your playpen. :rolleyes:

[KDStudios]

I'd say I dealt with it quite well.

Probs the worst thing I said was "Bite me"

and saying that your a pathetic individual for reporting over a badly received joke.

and even after that I did the better thing and LEFT the conversation.

I didn't bother reporting to Moderators because they weren't on (as far as I could see)

and it wasn't really worth it.

You were obviously in a visious mood that night and decided to take it out on me.

 

But I'm leaving this debate now.

bben46 and Dark0ne are right, we were all acting like kids...VERY badly.

Best to just drop this off a cliff out of a pail.

 

I however will continue to use the chat as I believe it is a great way for moderators, mods, artists and mod users to interact and even get assistance quickly.

But after what has happened I will be messaging a moderator in future if chat gets out of hand again.

That is the best thing to do.

 

I think all has been said that needs to be, and so that we don't run a risk of beating a dead horse, I'm going to close this topic. If you think I closed it hastily, I'll entertain opinion via PM, though I may not change my mind.
