I did, but will try again; then I'm done with this subject and rebutting Adams false accusations. Joel Send a noteboard - 19/05/2011 03:51:24 AM
Not that I expect it to matter, because, as usual, this isn't about anything actually said, only the person saying it.
Camilla made the good point that your disproportionate reaction is much more of a turn-off for potential participants than any and all death threatz from teh internetz.

Notifying wasn't disproportionate, particularly given that (once again) THEIR response was that I should contact the police. By their standards, I underreacted, so if you're concerned about those standards, I suggest you seek a new chat software.
Banter, even when malicious, seldom has the kind of negative consequences a police investigation might have even the smallest possibility of resulting in.

Again, it stopped being banter when others were recruited to join the group attack on one person. Again, if you're concerned about the authorities seeing what you say online, you're in trouble, because they created "online" and monitor it closely. Again, anyone concerned about investigations shouldn't say things that prompt the software creator to recommend one. Again, no police investigation was ever initiated, despite Skypes recommendation I do so.
For someone who claims to truly want to cultivate and sustain a chat "community", you seem awfully willing to compromise that community in favor of your own personal antagonisms.

Perhaps I didn't answer this directly, so I will now: The suggestion I'm "awfully willing to compromise that community in favor of [my] own personal antagonisms" is a joke, and a bad one. I left, because of a horde of people indulging and INITIATING personal antagonism, even adding others solely to share it. That should've ended it for said community. I didn't start that argument, I made one comment directed at no one present and suddenly had everyone with an axe to grind on my neck, so don't talk to me about personal antagonisms. I didn't escalate to ostensibly serious death threats strong enough a third party said to contact the police. I'm not the one adding myself to chats where I've never been welcome to rehash the issue, or trolling others about it on the CMB. Like I said, if you guys miss me SO much you have to almost cyberstalk me you can ask me back to the other chat, though the answer remains as much "no" as the last time.
Contrary to popular belief, skypechat is actually veritably thriving in your absence. I've heard that your own little chat is doing similarly.

I don't have "my own little chat", but wish you well of yours. I supported a universal wotmaniac chat, but each of many attempts devolved into the Terrible Trio and those who can stand them; oh, well. If it's doing that well maybe you can keep Urza and Luke in there and out of the chat created for the Mafia game on the GMB, from which they've always been excluded because no one there wanted to put up with them.

Now, ya'll can continue with the trolling, the "I'm right and you suck", and whatever else you like, but I'm washing my hands of it. Please don't misconstrue my silence on the subject as agreement with or acceptance of any statement you or they make.

If they don't know about the terrorist organisation to begin with, why would they self educate? - 13/05/2011 08:06:07 AM 1068 Views
If completely ignorant of terrorism itself, they wouldn't, but if not I'd expect they'd get informed - 14/05/2011 03:01:37 AM 1035 Views
What?!? There are terrorists roaming the US, killing kids in their beds?!? - 14/05/2011 07:45:27 AM 1179 Views

The short answer is "yes". - 06/05/2011 03:19:31 AM 1041 Views
you would of have had to know who he is to know he was doing that though *NM* - 08/05/2011 06:16:39 PM 538 Views
Yes, and the fact he WAS doing that is why I expected nearly everyone to know who he was. - 08/05/2011 07:12:41 PM 1075 Views
I am not saying they shouldn't know who he is just that is isn't that shocking that some don't - 09/05/2011 02:35:02 PM 948 Views
I get that, it's the size of the "some" that kinda floors me. - 09/05/2011 05:02:46 PM 1070 Views

Concise is nice, but that response was solely about me rather than my arguments. - 18/05/2011 11:30:38 PM 1033 Views
