Thank you for your judgement of me. You will understand if your tone does not inspire me to do anything that you ask. I hope you also understand when I ask you to please not threaten me with social retribution. If you wish to open an S & C thread about, please do so.

No social retribution. What, do you think I'm going to PM Thork and ask him to be mean to you? Understand, I'm one of the least BAWWy people here. If I'm getting annoyed with you, you aren't going to be very popular for very long. Take it as a warning, not a threat.

All I'm doing is informing you of the decent thing to do. Do what you will. But flaunting social norms has social consequences.

Also, if my tone isn't doing much to inspire you, what do you think your tone is doing to the rest of us?

I don't care about your disagreements with jroa...I want you to apologize...To jroa.

You were able to contradict yourself in a span of just three sentences. If you're going to post emotionally charged comments, at least put some time into not looking like a fool.

That aside, I don't think Rama is being unreasonable. He voiced his opinion in reasonable terms, and did not break any rules. Whether or not you agree with him is irrelevant to the manner with which you should respond to him.
I work nights are get the feeling of impennding doom for things most people take for granted.

I don't care about his disagreements with jroa. I care about his attacking volunteers for not volunteering well enough, and his arrogant and entitled attitude. Those are two very different things.

Guys, Roma Set and I have already apologised to each other.  We hugged, kissed, and made up.  He understands that I am here as a volunteer, and he knows I am not obligated to do anything. 

I appreciate it when people point out my mistakes.  Thank you Rama Set for showing me some of my errors. 

Everyone else, please understand I am human.  I will make mistakes.  You can PM me or post my mistakes here.  I just ask that you don't be hateful to me.

I hope you also understand when I ask you to please not threaten me with social retribution.
He wasn't so much threatening you as providing you with information you're apparently oblivious to.

You are a little late to the party, but thanks for the input.

Maybe that makes me a d*ck. I can live with that.

Sorry, too busy having sex with Parsifal road trippin' Australia to be active.

but thanks for the input.
Always happy to be of assistance!

I think you know I don't mind people being dicks. I'm a dick myself. It just seems to me that you're being intentionally counter-productive; and then when people pointed it out to you, you started calling it "threats of social retribution".

If that is your interpretation of how it went down then so be it.  I am not going to tell you what I think you should think, I see events differently that's all.  Jroa and I have moved on, and I hope everyone else can as well.

Cheers.

Ask one question and a thousand off-topic posts follow you like little fairies of discussion destruction. What the hell is going on?

I am not obligated to do anything.
And you take this part of your role very seriously.

I appreciate it when people point out my mistakes.
No you don't. That was the biggest lie since John Davis promised to move the FES server.

Everyone else, please understand I am human.
Being as you have lied about everything else, I doubt this as well.  >:(

Thork, you are so jelly.  Maybe if you were not so terrible, you might be a mod also.  Now, do you have anything constructive to add, or are you just here to be terrible?
