I don't know you irl, but I have squadded with you and been subjected to reading your forums posts for 4 years, so I feel justified in saying what I did. I don't usually sugarcoat things, if you phrasing offended you well I'm sorry. It's one thing if you came in with a point of view I couldn't predict before I even open the thread, or at least a variation of it that added something new to the discussion, but you don't, so I'm not going to apologize for anything I've said.

[Ephemeral]

Ephemeral get out of here, I can summarize your posts without reading them. "So and so did or not expressly violate rule 3 section 3 clause 6.7 when he did and this so this is unwarranted", honestly just shut up already. The level of predictability in your posts has reached Vash level...

...I can assume your answer before you even write it because you're that one dimensional. Post '..' and we'll be able to fill in the blanks probably close to word for word on what you would have said. I'm not even going to bother to dignify the rest of your post with a response because I've wasted enough time on Vash Jr. here

...Come on ephe grow up, ...

...Don't give me your whiny sob story about conning people into voting...

...Going to go ahead and compile all of your posts, leave them unedited, and put them into a book: How to Brownose While Having no Personality: Vol 1.

Perhaps I over-stated by using the word 'attack', I apologize for that. But the quotes above demonstrate what I was saying about how I felt that your posts had turned more personal. You don't know me. I don't know you. There is no need to start throwing around personal crap when we are simply discussing issues. Don't you agree that even if we are on different sides of an issue, we can have a respectful debate?

[the_paul]

Personal attack? I merely said that the only responses you ever spew out always include an eyes closed defense of the staffer in question, and the utilization of select parts of the rulebook you keep on your clipboard. That's not a personal attack, it's a fact, re-read your posts.

22 - 12 is still damn close to a 2:3 majority, you realize thats whats needed to get a President impeached? Don't give me your whiny sob story about conning people into voting because we could easily argue that that the other way as well. And I didn't know it was a necessity to have firsthand experiences with someone to be able to see they're doing a bad job. Maybe people would like to have TT gone before they're subjected to the unfair treatment that others they know have been proven to have received?

I guess this means myth shouldn't have been axed right ephe? I mean only 8 other players had personal experience with his rule breaking, that is not nearly enough, correct?

Brownnose? For what? I think I was asked to join staff in 1999. Why would I want to join staff or kiss their asses, it won't get me more money or get me laid more.

What is with all the personal attacks? It is one thing to debate this crap (and it is crap) but why do you resort to attacking on a personal level as opposed to sticking to the topic? I have tired to simply point out the same things that other reasonable people have pointed out such as not making making this an emo issue and try to stick with the facts. Are you just trolling, have you run out of facts to debate, or ???

You do understand that this has really been about the racism policy, right? TT is simply the lightning rod for it b/c he has been so aggresive about enforcing it. He has choosen to step in front of this bullet, but whether or not I personally think what he is doing is good or bad for TW isn't really important. I have no personal experience because I don't feel the need to press his buttons, 'test' the limits, mouth off, or even in the few cases, be in a situation where what I said could be considered racism.

i finally used twitter the other day

#itallmakessense

you better watch out it can actually get addicting as it allows one to convey more information which supplements one's statement and gives it context or an extra layer of fun #highasagoddamnkite

[renzi]

i didnt try to rally anyone. i linked the thread to twd chat and my chat, yeah. only place i tried to "rally" was in pandora chat and as you can see pretty much all of them voted no just to spite me. so take about 6 away from those 12 no's. and i counted yes when i read posts that were obviously for yes. but even without me counting those yes', that leaves us at 22-6 because once again you can see multiple pandas posted in a row all saying no to spite me

Yes. At one point Renzi had the count in the thread tallied up to like 37 for and 10 against his axing. It did no good. That's why I laugh at ephe everytime he says "Well this should be a lesson on how not to get a staffer punished." Really? We exhausted literally other method

Not sure how renzi counted it that way, the count is 22 for axing, 12 against axing. This is based upon those who actually did what renzi wanted and posted a 'yes' or 'no'. Some may count it differently by trying to guess at posters position by the replies some folks posted, but I think it best to count only those who said 'yes' or 'no'.
And of course this vote represents a 'popularity contest' and does not represent the number of players who may have had actual first hand experience or knowledge of TT wrong-doings. I don’t mean to diminish popularity, it is somewhat important. Staffers need to serve the playing public and popularity can be a reflection of that. But on the other hand, popularity can also be influenced by many factors including rallying friends to go vote against the guy whether or not they have had any actual issues.
Bullshitting the numbers can be Charpter 10 in that book on how to not get a staffer axed.
