So...I have to wonder when somebody with a presumably good reputation is going to walk into a few different gun shops, and begin buying up these things, handing them out to terrorists, who then move on a specific kind of building in important US cities on at a given date and time. Banks? State offices? I don't know. I just see a disaster patiently waiting for its cue.

US gun laws really are a mystery to me. In Florida, they do a background check on you when you buy a gun from a gun store which takes a few days. This does not apply if you buy the gun from your neighbour, which is perfectly legal. Also, if you take a one day weapons course, you're permitted to carry a concealed weapon. At no point does anyone make a note of the fact that Mr John Smith owns gun XX99999 in case said gun happens to hurt someone. "Guns don't kill people, people do" - yeah, right, but it's more difficult, timeconsuming and shortranged if you take the guns out of the equation.

@SS, I've had to delete a post of yours which focused on why I shouldn't be a moderator. Again, please take this matter up with Buck and me in email, as I have requested before. Thank you.

erm...guys? Can we not calm this down?

@SS - did you not listen to anything that was said last night? If I was you I would exercise caution...

If we are not allowed to disagree with the moderators then they have too much power.

As I said before, I was not criticizing you with what I said about Nekro's joke. I was stating my opinion. If you're going to edit people's posts because their opinion disagrees with you, then you definitely should not be a moderator. I could have just as easily quoted Sandy instead of you when making those statements about Nekro's joke; but there was no need to. I was stating my opinion on the matter of the joke. Sandy commented on your criticism of Nekro's joke; but didn't get edited, which is probably because he agreed with you.

Dammit SS are you out to get everyone to hate you? This just takes the biscuit. I apologise for posting this mods but I felt this needs to be said. Not only are you offending moderators you also offend other people. You have no right to do this. Either you calm down or you will be thrown out it's that simple. Make a decision SS or someone will for you.

@SS: You _do_ have the right to criticise the moderators - just take it up with Buck, just as Fable said. I doubt you'll have much luck, since NeKro's joke is tasteless under the current circumstances. Sofar, one person has died bacause of Anthrax, and that is never a laughing matter.

Please, folks, let's keep it calm, here. @SS, I've deleted your last post--once again, you're commenting on how I fulfill my moderator duties, when you have been requested only to take this matter up with Buck, and me in private. And, as I remarked to you in private, I will only respond when you stop cursing at me in your private posts.

Now, please--let's get back to the subject at hand?

That is true... that was really wrong. *edits his post*

Edited by me. I quoted such a big post and it did double, took up too much space @_@

I believe all of our points are that you are posting in an inflammatory nature. You cannot tell Fable not to delete post because it criticises how he does his moderating as he IS a moderator. What gives you the right to say that someone has to earn respect? I can understand it but I don't belive. It is my opinion that we all respected your viewpoints eyt you condemned others and evem criticised C Elegans as having a 'closed mind' or along those lines. I feel that YOU need to earn our respect as at the moment they you are posting is only making things worse.

First off, as I said in one of the posts you just deleted, I am calm.

Second, quit deleting my posts.

Posted by SS -

fable, however, has done nothing to earn my respect. Just because someone has been given power does not mean they deserve respect.

You are publically flaming someone you have asked a lot of then showed nothing but disrespect...I think you may be completely on your own now...

fable · Post by **fable** » Tue Oct 16, 2001 2:01 pm

@SS, I've already asked you to desist. I've forwarded all your messages to Buck, plus the private one you sent me entitled "Do You Like Being a Bastard?" I'm asking everybody that this thread return to its original purpose, now, or it will have to be closed down. Thanks.

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Tue Oct 16, 2001 2:02 pm

@SS: Please continue this discussion in PM or e-mail to Buck and Fable. I'm convinced you will get banned by Buck if this continues

The situations is only escalating this way, SS. PM them instead, because then you can express freely what you feel without risking to be banned.

Shadow Sandrock · Post by **Shadow Sandrock** » Tue Oct 16, 2001 2:03 pm

Can I post a new thread if this one is closed? For my topic I mean.

Ysh...I'm always on my own.

@All perhaps it is time to stop this discussion.

SS: I suggest you wait for Bucks PM before continuing further.

Well, I'm not picking sides here but I'm leaning more towards Sailor Saturn's... see, she's not always alone... You guys tend to pick on her for expressing her opinion... she has as much right as the rest of us to.
