My 1st post!

Tags : None

*tosses his admin badge and CoE pass on a conveinently placed surface* It really isn't worth it. I have enough problems with the two ulcers I have already. I don't need a third to be named Mt. Kalidor. If they want to run roughshod over those who work so hard for this board and be free from all reprisals, then I'm out. I'm sorry, but that's just how I feel. I have truly come full circle and I don't want to be back to that point. So, after much deliberation today, I'm gone. I might lurk, but I'm through being spat upon by Kalidor, Dezaras, and those just like them. No more.

Consequently, I've taken care of all the arrangements of changing my title, removing myself from admin lists, and revoking any powers I had here. Feel free to change the passwords to the two locked forums to keep me out. At the very least, you have nothing to fear of me spilling the inner secrets contained herein.

And once again we lose the wrong people while the real perpetrators are still out there, ranting and raving and still in the prime of health.

Come on, People with the Power. How long? HOW LONG???

Don't make me ashamed of you. Don't make me ashamed to be here.

Fuck them.

I say someone send Kalifuck an e-mail and tell him we're banning him until after the weekend, and we do so. Because as I understand it, UTA negotiations take place this weekend. Am I correct? If I am, then we cut out his crap and deal with him after negotiations are over.

I personally don't give a shit if Kalidor objects. I say let him. I wanna be the one to sort him out while the rest of you do your thing. I'm experienced with EzBoard, and I can keep Kalidor out long enough to get things over with.

I ask none of you ask how.

Aww sweet holy hell! Should we just sign over the board to Dez, Kal, and their ilk and let them have it? Because it's becoming plenty obvious to me who's REALLY running the show here lately.

Why should WE leave when we can MAKE them leave?

Because them some moron would step up and call us facists and Nazi's when they probably have no idea what's going on.

Isn't humanity WONDERFUL?

let em call us whatever they want. as far as im concerned, their opinions of us dont matter anymore. if they did care bout this place, they wouldnt post these things and cause trouble all the time. all the members of the coe have their email addys listed at the bottom of the forums and they know this. if they want to complain bout something, they know they are free to email them. no need to make posts that are asking for trouble. so HIT THE DAMN BUTTON ALREADY

I just don't want Allspark to turn into something rotten.

Do you have ICQ?

*will probably be looked at askance by everyone here but here's another e-mail*

No.
In fact I view the majority as very level headed. Unfortunatly -- it seems to be a trend. People are getting too crazy with that ability to @#%$ with other people's post. The first time I noticed it was with Beastmachine -- he's gone now, but others are following his lead. Then you've got some of the old schoolers who don't seem to do much at all -- I know I'm rocking the boat. I KNOW I'm the bad guy -- but I'm not the only one who thinks this way -- just others are afriad to start any trouble (and by start trouble I mean question the CoE) And it SHOULD NOT be like that.

I'll stop -- but you know, go back and read my posts -- I am in a different mode -- and maybe people are getting upset because it hits too close to home for some. I'm not cussing, I'm not ranting -- I'm not flaming. I'm TRYING to post in clear, concise manner that gets my point across. I'm simply making a point, and I have yet to lose my cool on this matter -- which is more than I can say for some of the mod-squad. I've always held you in high regard -- as I do Kyle and Strafe -- but you can't sit here and tell me there's not a problem -- and further, you can't tell me that if you see a problem that *I* am the cause of it. I care about the average joe poster. And that's who I'm fighting for. So that people will come to the Allspark and have the same feelings we did when we started -- not so they can be afraid to type thier thoughts and gripes without having it 'taken away to be approved by the Men in Black'

Don't you understand that man? I'm not a troll here. I'm just sick and tired of seeing post after post of my fellow allsparkers being unjustly removed/moved/locked/whatever and the only thing they CAN say is "Sorry

" because they didn't think they were wrong (or they wouldn't have posted it) and because anything more will put them in disfavor of the CoE.

Anyway, thanks for emailing. You're the only one who bothered.

Later,
Greg

Misunderstood what you said.

And I can understand that. I worry about it, too. But you can't go about it in such a head on fashion, you know what I'm saying? Do you really think the CoE/ACC are fascists? I mean honestly?

My 1st post!

Okay, now that I've had my moment of clarity and some time away from anything even remotely related to the AllSpark or Transformers, I think I should elucidate on a few things I said before, because a lot of that didn't come out like it should have. For one, I am not arbitrarily walking away from all my friends here. You guys and gals mean more to me than that. Please don't mistake my resignation as a sign that I'm blowing all of you off. Second, I'll still be lurking here from time to time. There won't be much apparent change there as I perpetually lurked even before today's cataclysms. More to the point of things, I resigned for one simple reason. Not because I want the trolls and their ilk to overrun this place, but because I no longer see myself as fit to be an admin and a CoE member, or even an untitled mod of General Discussion. I just don't have what it takes and for that inadequacy, I deeply apologize. My ideas for dealing with problems like Kalidor and Dezaras, apparently, aren't in the best interests of this community and aren't considered desirious by the senior members of the CoE, whose opinions I greatly respect. So if I'm not part of the solution, then I'm part of the problem.

Once again, I apologize that I'm not whatever you thought I was when you granted me my positions within the hierarchy.

Just Call Him Manny

Duelist...I respect you no less. If you can see fallacies that NONE of us do...so be it then. I respect you more stating such. Though, from what I've seen, you've been more than capable at your 'position' here...and have done a great service to us and the 'Spark. Pessimist, is correct, the WRONG people are leaving.

Going further along...

Anyway, thanks for emailing. You're the only one who bothered.

I am currently dealing with one of my assistants, who 'acts' this same way. He wallows in his own self-pity..and constantly tells me that if I want to fire him, he'll understand. He thinks the other managers hate him, they don't understand him, and, will even go through so many extremes to MAKE the other managers WANT to hate him. I hate little bitches like this. He tells our employees, that we treat him mean, and that he's misunderstood. He claims to do the all work, and feels that we blame him for anything 'evil' at the workplace. It became such a problem, I had a meeting in my corporate office, to solve this 'uncomfortable work environment' this guy was creating for everyone. It was decided...and I have the corporate office backing me up on this...that if he says that sh!t one more time...I would tell him HE'S GONE. It shows no sign of respect for his co-workers. Creates UNDUE stress on all parties involved.

He causes all these problems...and acts like the helpless innocent when confronted...simply looking for the best interests of those around him.

I don't it, with him or Kalidor.

They can get their attention, somewhere else.

Only: Brave Maximus, God Magnus, Vers.2 CarBros, DevilGigatron, Onyx Primal, Packrat, Fractyl, Starscream & BB, Geckobot, Quickstrike, Blastcharge, Nightviper, Silverbolt, Skydive, Attack Jet, Rattrap, NightScream, Noble, Primal Prime, & Targetron left to go.

Duelist, I salute you. You did your best and put up with more than most people can bear.

For what it's worth, there's a new sheriff in town and he doesn't give one tinker's damn about anything except the health and well-being of the Allspark, and he will kick serious booty...out there and IN HERE...if anything jeopardizes that health.

Please keep lurking, if only to see what kind of terror an old IRC warrior can unleash if he's pushed hard enough

At least until you see fit to return and take the terror from my hands, which is fine with me, I will always yield to a veteran returning from hiatus.

Actually, I intend to betray no trusts, instigate no pogroms or persecutions, and above all, will always try my best to be just and fair. But I respect no personalities and the AllSpark comes first. Period, amen, huzzah-huzzah-huzzah.

Postscript: Someone once posted "This is just a message board." No it is not. It is much more than that. It is a tight-knit community of good friends with mutual interest. But even the best communities can have pest control problems now and then. Let's see if the Pestimist can help out with that a little.
