Aaron wanted me to post this

Free episodes:

Nothin' to see here
Aaron sent this to me on Facebook and asked if Id post it. Figured I would, since he was such a part of the forums here for so long.

Aaron said:
Ok, I read it[the 'Aaron Banned' thread] after many e-mails from different people over the last few days. You can post this there if you wish. No pressure here, it's up to you.

Lol. Not quite Dave, but almost. I posted a vid, where politicians were being childish (I'll send it to you, and ooooooh, you will agree). MY comments were making mock of their childishness. I used the word "poopee" MANY times. Should I have used shit? Maybe if I told people to "FUCK themselves" as Dave has done on more than a handful of times, it wouldn't have been questionable? It was a goofy, childish mock. It had nothing to do with literal scat. If I wanted to show literal shit, I'd just post Bush's face.

I was trashed while posting it, and I agree that to a sober mind it might have seemed like,,,,,, Huh? I was TRASHED. No, beyond trashed. In that way, David would have been correct. Saying, hey, we're getting a little popular now, maybe you shouldn't be so fukin drunk. Gotcha. Btw, Paracst is taking off, that's new to me. I been wanting it to happen for awhile. When I was first given the "job" (no there is no pay), I told Dave I was quite Liberal. His response was, Screw that, I'm an anarchist. So, I figured not too uptight, cool, I can be a mod, since I'm down with freedom of speech. I asked both Gene and David for rules to go by. They told me to use my own judgment. I've been doing so for well over 5000 posts. I've been here since 2 or 3 weeks since they started thanks to Royce from Watchdog. They did finally give me 3 rules to go by after I pushed on the phone. No trolling, threats and spam..... Nothing about saying the God awful word of "poopee". Or did I spell it poopey? I'm sorry if any of you are offended by my foul language btw.


If I have to be this thing called "mature", I'm better off playing in a funner sand box than David's.

I'm responding to part of a post I read above from David B.

"Aaron, in what I assume was a highly intoxicated state, put up a rather horrible post full of scatalogical references - it was heinous (and I say that personally having a fairly high threshold for such stuff). I sent him a message, telling him that I was deleting that message, and asked him to refrain from posting such material again, reminding him that he was indeed a moderator on these forums, and had a certain responsibility to be mature. He freaked out, and asked me to remove his account. I found his response unreasonable, and was concerned that he was coming a bit loose at the hinges. We liked Aaron enough to give him Mod status, but coming on here drunk and posting nasty, gratuitous craziness gave us little choice in how to handle the situation."



Btw. Some people will read into this thinking I hate David. I don't. Just know when I need to leave a party is all. I still support the Paracast and even been promoting it still.

Thanks Tommy for not insulting me. I thought you'd be cheering I left.

Sorry if this was long btw:) I've just been getting a lot of questions is all.

Thanks to Gareth for posting this. Good luck all.
 
Aaron get stupid drunk and posted some crap.

I removed the post - ONE post, mind you (and I'm pretty sure that this was the first time I ever had to do this with Aaron), and asked him to use better judgment in the future. I was not harsh, I simply asked him to use his mind. Sadly, I didn't realize his mind was out to lunch. And while I realize that we - as in me & Gene, anything to say about this, Gene? - didn't explicitly tell Aaron to be coherent, one would expect that you wouldn't have to tell someone not to be a dick.

His response was totally disproportionate with respect to my PM to him. And that message above fits right in, I think he's being unreasonable and childish. He admits he was destroyed, and while I obviously don't care what he does in his personal life, when that colors his judgment to the point where he responds like this, it's his loss. He wants to find better sandboxes to puke in, that's entirely his call.

Best of luck to you, Aaron.

Aaron you know as well as i do that months ago you decided to play "internet tough guy" with me.....

/flex

and when i called you, your excuse was.....i was drunk

the bottom line is you have a habit of excercising poor judgement in regards to forum behaviour when you have been drinking....

thats the bottom line and you know it. its not just that post David took exception too, and its not just Tommy....

its you.

but its just a bit of booze fuelled hi-jinx, own it and try and do better and no one gives a poop......

jeez louise... you cant fix what you wont ac"knowledge"

Hey Aaron. I don't believe in kicking people when they're down. I don't wish evil on people, and I certainly don't cheer when other people have misfortune.

I wish you well, and regardless of any head bumping we might have had I enjoyed a lot of your posts.
 
The quoting isn't working so I do it the old fashion way. This is Aaron btw.

Thank you Tommy, funny you're the only one that assumed something down has been has been up with me. And we haven't spoke.... You're not incorrect. We both know though, that wishing evil on Silvia Brown is ok though right? It's ok to wish evil on her:) I wish we got along better than we did of late (we were fine for most the period). But, we actually did a good job of not getting along if you think of it. How long was our flame war? A few blinks if that, and we handled it, some might not believe this.. (on my part at least) maturely. You had a lot of... I'll say the word crap.... happen to you, and perhaps weren't in the best of moods of late? Hard to read people over the screen. I did indeed enjoy your participation a large chunk of the time. Even if I didn't, so what.. I've had posts I came across later and didn't care for. None of which is the issue my leaving is being related to however.

Gene, I noted the "like" in the past tense, and the act together part. No, no comment really from me, just wanting to let you know I read it.

I didn't read David's replies since it's clear we differ on the matter and I care not to carry this issue on further. I think we have better things to do. I'm ok, with David having the last say. So long as I aint the one reading it. In this matter I expect. 98 percent of anything else, I'm spot on with him.
 
lol

As soon as I glanced the 'unread posts' page and saw who was the last poster in this thread I knew it would be you Aaron. For some reason I saw the name stillborn and assumed it was you.

same here, very sad considering the gestalt of the word

my experience with "stillborns" is the people directly involved are always, always very sad, sometimes even traumatised
 
I say Aaron should return, make "peace" with David, though that doesn't mean you two have to "like" each other, and leave it at that. Obviously he wouldn't be a mod, but it seems like a fair compromise.

Makes sense in Aarons case though. In a way he was born dead on these forums (a new account while banned):D
 
"Aaron you know as well as i do that months ago you decided to play "internet tough guy" with me.....

/flex"

That was you that didn't know the /flex? That was our run in? Wow... hope you never see me in person. You'd know what a joke the e-flex is..... If you've been kidding all this time, my hat off to you. You kinda got me sold though. Just in case you haven't been kidding.... again... I told you clearly that it wasn't what you thought it was. /flex is an emote command from mmorpgs in which people can emote, often in a playful manner. I was being sarcastic and mocking myself, and well, what I thought would be funny. Have you ever gave someone a mean stare, as a joke? Being playful? Not meaning it?

Whats his name, Schtick? He mentioned I called him a turd of late. He's right. I said it wif wuv. Guess I'll leave the funny biz to Jeremy eh?

Again, unless you are pulling my leg, I replied to you answering your question. What did you not understand about it? Did you read it?

i only asked what you meant , the detail was your explaination ie internet tough guy etc etc.

i only asked you what you meant, and handed you a blank slate.....

all you see here is a reflection of your own explaination
 
i could be wrong... you could be 100 percent right, and everyone else has got it wrong.......

its a numbers game

but the last time i called you on behaviour i didnt appreciate this was your response and i quote

"I was drunk goofing off." the PM is still there......

thats your problem buddy, right there..........

OR..... OR everyone else is wrong and your just misunderstood......


your own answer in your own words



"I was drunk goofing off."

i'll use the mythbuster jamie meme..... now theres your problem........(waggles fingers in front of mouth walrus style)
 
Thats what an Alcohol problem is Mate... its when your drinking starts to affect your social interaction is a manner that is negative and destructive.

please do the math, if the same answer to my objection to your behavior is the same answer to the question why did David objected to your behaviour ie

and i quote your excuse to me

"I was drunk goofing off."

then the problem is you being drunk, not David or i.

thats the bare bones obvious answer.

now look what youve made me do..... ive spilled beer all over my akoshic record..........:D

Quoting works with Cotton.

No, there's no compromise needed really. They don't want me back if I don't want to be here I reason, and I don't want to be back if they don't want me here:) I spent too much time here in the past. I've had fun away. This has been good for me. And, I'm sure you guys/gals lasted without my crude attempts at humor.

I don't hate David. I finally found one thing I differ with David on though. I haven't read his last reply, and I suspect I'd differ with it too... Anyway. Toilet humor. I'm just glad I never invited him to my facebook friends list whatever. I have many fart jokes there. Some here might have seen them. Oh, and the masturbating monkey I give a emmy too.

If I was lead to think I wasn't welcome here, I wouldn't be here. I got the impression it was/is called into question. Surprised I lasted as long as I did actually.

I won't be here as much, I'll garuntee. Things have changed. But, that means, I shouldn't be a prob either. Unless certain people continue to squint.

Sorry, you are making no sense to me. You asked me what I meant. I had no prob with that. I answered it, and my answer showed that your interpretation wasn't what you thought I meant.

If you have issues with me, place me on ignore. I'm surprised at all this misunderstanding, since you were one of my favorite people here. I caught the word alcoholic below, and some things that occurred as preachy to me. Mike, I wish you well. And I am going to leave it at that. I'm sure I wouldn't if I read more of what you have to say. PLease put me on ignore.
