I was considering sending Yuki a pm but since Mushami has gone so far as to mention me plenty of times and pointing out the "mistakes that I've made, I thought that I should clear up a few things, publicly among staff members so that they understand why I did what I did.

First off, Mushami thinks that I didn't even care to see whether or not he made the changes, wrong. I did, they weren't in accordance to the things that were pointed out. Secondly, I DID NOT mindlessly agree with Duquin. I read both his and Mushami's arguments, believe it or not and made a decision bearing a neutral stance. I do have respect for Duquin, but I wouldn't allow that to cloud my judgement.

As for my reason for not saying all of this to Mushami's thread is because in my personal opinion, other than "finger pointing" he means to achieve nothing. Arguing just for the sake of argument leading to no constructive results, I'd rather not indulge into such "immature" things. Being called immature, I suppose this is yet another example of the pot calling the kettle black, or is it?

Anyways, with this, I believe I've said what needed to be said.

Did I miss something?

Yeah, you might say that lol It's about these threads.

What I've said, is in context to all these threads and Mushami's complaints and accusations.

I just got done reading the third one and he just loves to stir up controversy. He's honestly still getting on my nerves. he even sent me 2 pms asking me to 1. read the post and 2. tell him if he's done a good job with structure to not make it a big fight of a post. I don't feel the need to comment since i really don't have much to say to him. I just feel he needs to learn when enough is enough and drop it all. He still wants me to regrade his app for crying out loud. Something i am not willing to do. Sometimes I wish he'd just keep quiet and leave well enough alone or in pm. Cross is right. The whole site does not need to know all the dirty laundry. Only those involved do. I'm keeping my nose out unless i feel necessary.

i've said my peace for now, but i'll keep on eye on things when i can. Life has been really busy lately with the renovation of my house now finished and work. Sorry it took me longer to come back than planned. I'll keep checking in however.

He actually pm'ed me twice too. I've decided to ignore him, since I do believe all he wants is to provoke me into making a comment which he could twist and turn to further prolong the argument. So I too am staying clear of all of this.

He PMed me to check his threads too, but he was obviously unhappy with the warning I gave him. Duquin told him to leave if he is unhappy, and I have him another load-down about the entire situation. I'll handle it though. If he wants to use me as a beating post though, let him. xP I'd rather it be me than anyone else.

ummm why should he be allowed to use us mods as punching bags? clearly he isn't trying to achieve anything so what's the use of it all? I'm just saying this because I would prefer if he didn't use any of us as his "beating post". It's not like he's doing anything Ic, so what's all this fuss about anyways?

That's the problem. I'm finding it hard to pinpoint what he 'does'. I can't find it or screenshot anything in particular, so he can't be banned. Just saying "he's annoying everyone by arguing" isn't enough. And right now, he is bashing the staff but in a critical and borderline way. He says he speaks for the 'fairness' of the members, but really, I don't think we're being oppressive on anyone. I think he's just upset because his kido was denied and his bio didn't get the tier he wanted.

So technically all this drama is because he didn't get what he wanted and since he couldn't deal with that he decided to whine until everyone gives up and he's the only one left arguing, thus declaring himself the "righteous one". I believe there is something in the rules that says that staff members are well within their rights to deny a spell and whatever tier two staff members agree on, the member has to accept it. Okay whining about it once is something, I admit even I whined about my tier but then I got over it. He's just taking it too far, complaining this much should make him eligible for a ban in my opinion.

After all this is over, and Mushami remains, in your opinion, do you think that the members will continue role playing with him? I for one, seriously doubt it.

I agree with all of this. However, it really is about /who/ sets up the ban thread. Because atm, he doesn't think he is doing anything wrong. Maybe if a ban is issued, it will just be a cooldown ban like for a week to a month.
