No one is banned, please use appropriate verbiage

Okay, so we all know that I think Words Mean Things™, but this is just Newspeak at this point.

Before another back n forth gets started, please cease and desist...

To everyone reading, if you genuinely don't have something valuable to contribute, than refrain from posting your two cents. Start another thread, chew it to death by all means, just not here......

Zenchi, do you want this thread locked?

It's happened a few times we looked through the activity of users here following serious accusations. These people were told, and at least one of them was a councillor... as it turns out they were being wrongly accused. We take these matters seriously and the last time it happened, we excommunicated the accuser. The previous time the accuser lost quite a bit as well.

As people seem to question why they are not being involved in these investigations and deliberations, it's simple: councillors investigate, debate the findings, and make a decision.

Reliah: it's true I am no fan of rank and even turned it down. I also have no particular reverence for knightism. But i have been a member longer than you, and do have an oath (and more). I am also not a good teacher, and feel no need to teach. It is as true now as it was years ago when you enquired. This friend you have come back here to support, to me he is my bully. I hope you don't mind if your words aren't... 'resonating' with me.

I've talked to about a dozen individuals who have described you using the exact same word, ironic...

The difference between "bullies" and myself, is I am not insecure, nor am I a coward. I merely wanted people to be held accountable. Apparently it's not a trait thats at all favorable here...

So now we're blocking people without provocation? Serenity received no warning, and no notification was made...

What has this place turned into......

Bully
A person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker. One who uses superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.

I wonder if you might understand bully to mean something different than it means? You definitely bullied me several times when you would intimidate me to provide you and the board with personal information that I did not want to provide. Namely a picture of myself. I choose not to provide such things and yet you tried several times to use your superior influence as a Knight to intimidate me to provide it. I think that is evidence enough that you have definitely acted as a bully to me.

I also told you you'd make an outstanding Knight, if you'd only stop with the trolling. And immediatly saying as such, i sincerely asked you if you were trans, you laughed. What else was i supposed to think other than your just using the female persona to troll harder...

So you're not exactly being honest here. I'm more than willing to discuss this civilly over pm if it interests you...

And my being a Knight had absolutely nothing to do with how i approached you, ive made my opinion known about what i think about "rank" here for quite some time, so please stop stretching as i've explained this more times than i can count...

I've also had a member with mod privileges tell me this morning she was blocked....

That’s prob my that security setting - personal choice - not our doing her choice. Many people use that feature.
