Don't die yet fgt
Wouldn't dream of it. Just a little breathing space is all. I'm still around. I'm just gonna be doing what I normally do. Staying out of the way. Don't mind me folks. I ain't here. Nope. Can't see me.

a soulless politician
You flatter me.
It is true though. Your lack of empathy might result in clear judgement over folks who have ties to friends. Less strings attatched, better objectve view of things.

And if you want to give it a shot, know that you're walking into the digital equivilent of a minefield.
I'm not one to refuse a challenge.
Although, as Nuka said, I don't want it to look like I'm promoting myself or trying to exploit your situation. If not me, then somebody else would be willing to give it their best effort. The main thing is that you don't worry about what would happen if you aren't around to have some sort of moderating influence - the site will continue working and the community will continue to function, whether in a state of gridlock or not.
Hey, I don't know. You might actually be able to do it. Like I said. I'm too fucking caring for my own good. I can look at folks and see what's on them. I can read their writing and see where they're going. I can dismantle them and break them down. And, because of that, all I want to do is help. But, you're on the opposite end of the spectrum. Not to sound like a sack of old sacks, but maybe a soulless politician could be used at this point in time.

I'd gladly take your place, Sand, if you feel you aren't fit for the position. Although you should consult Cheat personally regarding your discomfort.
Workin' on it. Although Meta, you should be aware of the shitstorm you're walking into here. The fact of the matter is, this site, is a mess. It actually is a fucking mess. I don't want to descredit the folks who enforce stuff. Because they're doing their best.
If you signed up to take my place, you'd be walking into a gridlock Meta. I mean a fucking bad one at that. There are two issues at play here.
The first is, you can't just swing a golf club around and launch offenders into the sun. Because this site doesn't have the strength in numbers to lose people left and right. And, it doesn't have the strength to cope with the whiners. The whiners, who will inevitably bitch and moan on Bungie.net and fuck things up even more.
And second. The incident with Cam showed that as civil as everybody is trying to be, there is bias. We jumped in and defended Nuka big time. Where it somebody else? We probably would have defended them. But not to this extent. And, talking to Cam on my own, without his mask on, he raised some damn good points.
It's an actual minefield to walk on Meta. Because we aren't simply working on disputes here between members. We're dealing with folks who have baggage. And that's a fact. This site has it's population because the users are drawn to one another because of similarities. The core one being, is that we're all a little fucked up.
And that's leeching into everything. Our discussions on the mod table are more about dealing with individual users and treading around their issues and trying to be diplomatic at the same time.
To put it bluntly.
This place seriously needs some fucking sunshine. And if you want to give it a shot, know that you're walking into the digital equivilent of a minefield.
Nah Meta is a pro.
He'll be fine.
Really? Because you folks aren't. That's a fact. One extra person won't make much of a dent. In fact, it might put unneccessary strain on things. There would be a shift in the balance of discussion. More weight being put on a user who would supposedly be apt for dealing with this. More weight is more strain. More strain results in a blow up.

You don't have to do it, so if it's too stressful for you, then by all means.
I wouldn't say stressful. It's more of, a shifted focus.

Becoming "quiet" works pretty well.
That's tough though. Because this place is a routine. It's a daily part of my life. And getting sucked into all the drama that spawns is as well. I need to cut ties enough that my presence here is diminished. But I still have the connections to the folks that mean the most to me.

« on: December 12, 2014, 11:57:43 AM »
Wait... Where was the question in that?
I don't know. Guess it got swallowed up. Tend to answer my own shit I guess. But still. Want to see what you folks think.

And a serious one at that. Because I'm at a crossroads here. Last night's ugly business with Camnator showed me something. I shouldn't be in the position I'm in right now. I shouldn't be a mod, in any sense of the word. And I'll tell you why.
I had a simple set of rules once. Let things be. As in, on the internet, you see shit going around, you turn your back and just pay no mind. And, it worked well.
But then I made friends. Not a bad thing. In fact it's probably saved my life this year, having some people to talk to and open up to.
But, it's a double edged sword as well. Because, when it comes down to it, I care too damn much. I care about folks too much that my own life is put on hold and shoved out of the way.
Push a friend of mine and I will jump in for them. If a friend of mine is in trouble or they feel shitty, I try my best.
But the fact is, this takes time. Time out of my own life, which I'm fighting for currently. I just got my second blast of chemo yesterday. And I feel like shit. I'm going downhill faster than I'd like to admit.
And on top of all this, I'm worrying about friends of mine, and getting sucked into the mod political court. It's a big huge fuck up of emotions and stresses. And if I let it, this will probably kill me too.
So I need to back the fuck up. Because, at the end of the day, I'm just a flatlander. I'm some fucking dude in a field somewhere.
I'm not a psychologist. I'm not a money maker. Just a dude.
I need to cut some of my ties here. I need to revert a little bit back to a quiet state, so that I can fight for myself. But I cant cut all the ties. Because being in the city showed that I can no longer stand up on my own two feet.
For starters, cutting all ties with the mod position would help. It would free up space and time for me to sit down, and do my own shit. And, going a little quiet on my end of things would help too.
But, that doesn't change the fact that right now, there's a few folks I can't turn my back on. Never will.
So. It seems pretty obvious what I'll pick. I need to restructure things a bit.
But I'm just asking you folks. Drama makes drama I guess. But I want to hear what you folks have to say on the matter. Because if I do this, I'm going to cut a lot of fucking ties. Previously, my name wasn't known very well for a damn reason. Because I liked to stay out of the fucking way.
Anywho. Shoot folks. Let's hear it.
Here's the verdict
I'm burning the bridges folks. My time here, is going down in flames. I'm going to hang on to the folks I deal with the most. But for the most part, I'm cutting ties. I'm going to limit my time here, because it's toxic to me in my state. All these ties and all the drama, will only bring me down faster.
I'm not leaving. But, my presence is going to be diminished. But, here's the deal. You folks ever want to talk, I'm still here. But I'm going back to my old rule. Stay the fuck out of the way. I'll give help when I can. Advice if I can.
But your fights aren't mine. We're all adults here. You'll work stuff out, with, or without me. Just don't fucking let this place sink in flames you fucks. And do me a fucking favor and try to smile. And quit starting bullshit.
You sacks of old sacks know who you are.

Courtesy, yes, but respect must be earned. Don't give it out automatically.
Respect should not automatically be given, but it shouldn't have to be earned either. You aren't some god that needs to be appeased and shown why the subject under your feet should be shown respect. Because you are just as broken as all the other people around you. Viewpoints. Everybody has them. Some things that I do, that I deem respectable for me to do, are viewed in the opposite light by other people. People do unrespectable things. And they do respectable things. But you do what you can to show them respect plain and simple. You don't let yourself get taken for a ride, obviously. But you or I aren't above anybody else when it comes who we are. We've made mistakes. Done good things, and bad. In fact, in some cases, showing a little respect to someone who's in the shitter, instead of giving them a boot in the ass and telling them to earn it, can help far more. Give respect but stand your ground when you're taken for a ride. Simple.

Sure thing boss. We're not all equal. Plain as day. However, what should be important, is that you are treated with the same amount of courtesy and respect as other folks, no matter who you are.
We're not all equal. Nobody is. Our minds, our bodies, everything about us, when compared to another person, are different. But the fundamental thing is that we're all people. All Human.
We all feel like shit, we all have problems. Good days, and bad days. Some, more than others. I think the key thing here, is to remember that.
We're not equal in body and mind at all. But at our roots we're all people. So you do your best to treat everybody as they are. People. Just like you.
I worked in a small group of people once. Construction. Hauling the iron support beams into place in a building. A skinny fellow was given the job of helping to move the iron with me.
He was given the job because he was a laborer. And he put on a brave face beause if he said he couldn't do it, he couldn't lift the iron, he'd be laughed at. Wrong kind of equality. Physically, you could see that he couldn't do it. He just couldn't, because of his frame. Not his fault.
So I lifted up the iron with him. And I waited. Stopped when he needed to set it down. I didn't say a word. Didn't laugh, didn't smile, didn't poke fun. I waited until he was ready to go, and we went again. You don't tell folks to do something and think that they can do it alongside you in perfect unision because they are equal. Because that's simply not true.
But you give them the respect and treatment you'd like to be shown.

At that point it honestly doesn't seem like anorexia. Pretty close to a medical condition instead. There are diseases and genetic conditions out there that can do that to people. Then again, so can anorexia. I think she beats casper though.
Casp needs to step up his game and lose some pounds.

Considering that last night, my mother exploded on my brother-in-law and they got into an argument, thus destroying any chances of having a relatively nice family meet up for Christmas, I feel you. Completely.
Christmas, was my last, decent thing I was trying to hang on to. But this bullshit happens every year, without fail. Something, no matter what, has to fucking happen at christsmas.
So, I'm not putting up with it. I can't fight it anyway, can't fucking change it if I tried. No matter how fucking sick I am or how shitty I feel because of the drugs in my system, I'm going to pack my fucking shit and go somewhere else for christmas.
Fuck it Kinder.
We're all fucking adults here. Not our business. Not our fight.

What? What is one person supposed to do against a FUCKING PLANE.
I'd be out of there the instant I saw a plane flying near my home.
Well, you see a plane coming at you, you don't have time to move. Looking at the picture of the house after the plane smashed into it, you can see that even if the woman moved and got her kids away, they wouldn't have made it far.
The thing is, it's actually surprising how much of the impact a fully grown human's body can absorb. That's why soldiers jump on grenades.
I remember seeing a picture a while back. It was from one of those areas in the world with rather frequent earthquakes. Point is, a house collapsed on a woman and her child. The woman sheltered her child by staying crouched over them on all fours. Point is, the woman died. But saved her kid.
I don't see why someone would do that though.
Called being a parent amigo.
