Agreed. Sable spammed the hell out of some threads and it was quite clear where his/her political leanings were, but he was egged on by others on a regular basis so a warning should have been given to all or none. I don't think either side did enough for a ban though. It was political threads, things tend to go south quite rapidly from what I have experienced. lol
I would casually permanently ban people for minor slights purely based on how I felt about them, and would force dadudemon to send me pics of his butthole under threat of permaban.
Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.

Wow, do I miss the days of inimalist. This place has really turned into a shitshow if these are the threads getting made nowadays. It's reasons like this that I've been on KMC less and less
I feel like, in a just world, we'd have honest, intelligent, relatively good-hearted people, or at the very least, knew right from wrong. The Star Wars versus forum is a complete and total hellhole, everyone there goes completely out of their way to make a fool out of anyone their debating. Make a thread involving a character you like, or a character that isn't "mainstream", and they will treat that character like a joke even if he's pretty good combatively.
They will also go out of their way to harrass you in KMC and outside of KMC, as I've found out.
Hmm, I've never had that problem outside of TI when he spam bombed my PM inbox, or when I had feuds with Quan. But those always ended at the door.
I'm not a conformist, if I hold an opinion that differs from what the majority agrees with, I'll still say it and why, but of crap gets toxic, I'll go elsewhere. Might I suggest some place like Spacebattles? At least there you don't get firebombed for being different.
Oh wow, the site remembered my password, which I certainly don't.
Anyway, not really hanging around, but I'm genuinely sorry to anyone I was a **** to. There wasn't any specific malice or agenda in any of it, but broadly speaking I should have moved on from global modding waaaaay earlier, as what I was interested in being part of what KMC was long ago, not what later became, for good or ill, and I was slow to realise that that was like trying to hold back the tide- a perfectly legitimate tide at that. An open online community can't actually function in such a top-down manner and the end result there is always going to be friction. So yeah, anyone I took that friction out on, well, you know if you were the idiot or if I was, and if I was, very much my bad- sorry again.
I didn't actually make a conscious decision to leave, but my instinct had checked out long before I had, so one day I was logged out and my conscious brain caught up with the fact that I had no real desire to log back in (RPing specifically aside, but that was a much more specific and suitable activity). Two connected reasons sum it up- it was taking up time that my life could no longer afford, and I joined KMC in the first place to stay engaged with reality whilst I was convalescing and rebuilding a life. That bit is all done now. I'm not estranged from everyday real life, so the fundamental reason I was here is gone, not that the place I came to is the place it ended up being anyway.
I think you will likely find that other mods that could sometimes be a tad stroppy (take that as British understatement if you like) is broadly from the same area- the logical disconnect between what they wanted to be running and what the place actually was. It's apt to bring out the worst in people. As for Raz- well he CERTAINLY never envisaged this place becoming what it did, but who can blame him for letting a free, no-effort source of cash keep on running? It's not as if he has some solemn responsibility.
Storm I would have defined as guarded and defensive rather than actively unpleasant- I think she felt she was in a hostile atmosphere. As for WD, I can't say that as a mod lounge guy I had any more idea about what the heck was going on there than a lot of you. He just seemed unhappy and it caused him to lash out. It's the sort of thing that becomes much more expressive online than in real life; I am sure he would have been fine face-to-face.
Yup, Peach and GK ran off together and got married- not the only romance associated with my RP stuff. Peach is someone who had a lot of difficulties and unhappiness with her life in general (technically First World problems, but I would argue that much of modern western existence is about us trying to grapple with those). Being able to build a life on her own terms put her in a much better position, and at that point I would think KMC became irrelevant.
Quick note to Robtard- I guess I must have expressed myself badly on the David Cameron thing. My memory of what I was trying to say is not that I defended Cameron on the grounds that this is what people of his class did (honestly I found it hard to care one way or the other). What I was trying to say is that the incident would not affect his voting strength, because it would only make people think he was fundamentally part of a different class that did weird stuff- and people already thought that. Short version- anyone who was not going to vote for him because of that was already not voting for him. Cameron's vote was never based on people thinking he was a regular guy (unlike, say, Blair- much as many regret that now).
It's interesting how little time it took for this place to seem like part of a very distant past, with a different version of me as part of it. It does give some useful objectivity.
Also BF is still hot.
