So let me get this straight...

Zero makes a request that whoever is doing it stop removing his admin status. Shini gives him some crap about it, because he has some sort of personal grudge, I'm betting on jealousy. A bunch of people jump in and say that they really don't care one way or another (and honestly, it's not like there's a huge board population that requires rules and guidance from a structured authority system). Shini keeps complaining. And now the thread is deleted, because presumably a couple mods didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Way to handle authority, guys. Real mature.

More like "Nothing more needed to be said, and it was on it's way to being a flame war."

Which, to be fair, is likely what you were looking for. <p>

I wasn't even participating in it, I just thought it bore a striking resemblance to the time I took issue with Pervy being appointed mod of the Fanfiction forum. I wanted to see how it would have been resolved. Apparently it wasn't.

I deleted it because I feel that Shini and I have come to an understanding of sorts, with both of us getting the wrong idea about the other. He says he didn't do anything this time, and I believe him.

But that's behind us now, and everyone's back to bein' friends!

Nothing more needed to be said? Okay, I guess I can agree with that. But at the same time, it's not as though anything needed to be done to Zero's admin status either. Your refusal to own up to your actions shows you to be both a jerk AND a coward. <p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align:center">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile you and Doc are so bored and have so little to do in your own lives that you need to go onto the internet and captain causes defending people that neither want nor need your help. Seriously you two, this is a sad, sad excuse for starting a flame thread. Shut up and wait until you have some better material atleast. <p>

The thread was started so Zero could fix a problem he had with the mysterious Admin Removal Bandit (aka Shini, according to Priam's post). However, Zero just mentioned that he and Shini were able to work things out privately, meaning that the thread has no further purpose. So this isn't a case of the mods/admins hiding their heads in the sand, it just means that any further discussion would be pointless. <p>

Either way, it's still people getting bent outta shape about stupid things.

So, again: Shut up.

And so where would you like me to bring up questions and criticisms? Perhaps the spam forum, where quality threads degenerate into idiocy in under 6 posts? I don't think the RP forum is the place, either. Please enlighten me as to the proper place to have a discussion, if not the discussion forum.

Well, if it didn't sound like you're looking for a fight, Doc, any of those would be nice. You just have a way of sounding angry or rather arrogant when stating things, and thus people assume you're instigating. At least, that's how I see things, which seems to apply right now.

I mean, did you even ask either of them what was going on or try to find out what happened, or did you expect they'd specifically tell you what their resolutions were? Either way, this point is rather moot, since they've already resolved what was wrong. You weren't part of the equation to begin with, or have I over looked something which gives you any right to find out about others business?

It was posted on a public message board, making it the business of anyone who cares to read it?

Alright, alright. Admittedly my first couple of posts on this subject were little flame-y. Sorry about the personal attacks or whatever. I still have a point though, one that's being conveniently deleted/ignored. What's the real reason for Shini getting all bent out of shape over Zero's admin status?

And for those of you pointing at me and crying out "You're taking the internet too seriously!" Well, maybe I am. But then again, I'm not the guy that got pissed off at someone for having INTERNET POWER to such an extent that I felt compelled to take it away. <p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><div style="text-align:center">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the point I had brought up had had anything to do with where you were posting, rather than what and how you were posting, this would totally be relevant. Sadly, it's not. Rather, it looks like it's a segue trying to change the topic, or even just strawman my argument.

What I'm sayying is that Zero and Shini's issues have been resolved, if Zero wanted to delete the thread then that's his own damn business, and calling Shini a coward for Zero's decision is retarded. Furthermore this thread started off with you belittling those decisions rather vehemently, without bothering to find out who made them or why. You just charged right in and started pointing fingers at the collective administration.

Oh, and by the by: Nice job never, ever acknowledging Zero. You know, the wounded party you're defending so staunchly?

Edit for Luj: I don't think most people know what's between them that makes them like this. One of them would have to be willing to post sayying what it is. <p>

You'll note I used the word "presumably" in my last sentence of my first post. Meaning that what I said was what I presumed had happened. I then drew a conclusion based on that, and I still don't think I was wrong. The first bit of my post was a recap, and if the thread hadn't been deleted, I could show you that it's not false.

It is his business if he wants to delete a thread, but the very fact that it's been deleted means that I can't post in the proper place. You tell me to find out how things were resolved, but in the same post berate me for starting a thread about it. Since I can't stand talking to either one of them on AIM, I thought it logical.

I pointed fingers at whichever mods deleted the thread, not "the collective administration." I also never called anyone a coward, that was Lloyd. I also was never defending Zero, if you read my posts carefully (I know it's difficult, Bes, but try), you'll see that if anything, I was leaning more towards Shini's side of the argument when I made the comparison to Pervy being appointed mod a while ago.

Sure I maybe came off a little strong, but you're hardly one to lecture me about keeping one's cool.

I think I'll take one for the team here.

Dear Doc:

You are on all points, correct. I am a childish dumbfuck, and I have done nothing here but exemplify these shortcomings. I don't particularly care to appologize to you, but you can rest secure in the ego pumping knowledge that you sir, are correct. Since I cannot argue with you, I will simply leave the thread. Have a good evening/morning, depending on your perspective and timezone.

Dear Luj:

... Yeah, I was a dick, sorry. <p>
