Man only has 17 posts and it seems like 10 of them are attacks on me personally, and the others are just general offensive or aggressive statements. I mean, I understand that shit like this brings out the anger in people, but sometimes it seems like people lose the ability to channel that anger into a productive discussion when they approach a keyboard. | ||

That is, rather than make a direct accusation of something, you simply phrase the accusation in the form of a question. That way, if someone tries to call you out on it, you can hide behind the "I'm not saying that, I'm just asking it" defense. He even called it the "Socratic method", despite missing the point of that idea entirely. | ||

Why did that happen, or is that nor for this thread. I remember the guy being a banling, but I also remember with the new wave of mods, his position was taken away. I really hope he can come to terms with it. | ||

I also think Barrin is a fine guy, but when his entire TL existence involves focusing on that one issue, it is unacceptable. Well, as even Kwark was surprised, you can probably tell that this is confusing as anything to the rest of us. Barrin was seen as staff, and we only saw him post on maps and weigh in with a wealth of experience (and D2 stuff). The only thing we really saw was that he was questioning the judging of a map making contest (but this would generally be seen as a good thing, we just had a long discussion about not censoring dissenting views because it's a good way to reach a conclusion). So perhaps it would be nice to explain to us who haven't seen this thing unfold what's really going on. | ||
