Thrakazog Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings He crossed the line that Jackalope crossed and others are starting to cross: he was rude and offensive for no other reason than because he could be. I'm glad somebody finally got banned. Hopefully the message is received by those needing to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kara Zor-El Posted September 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings I think ChuckG needs to learn common courtesy and some social skills. However, I hope the temporary ban is lifted sooner rather than later despite that. Frankly, maybe I missed some posts, but the line he crossed is kind of hard for me to pin down and I dislike ambiguity. I'm not saying it wasn't just... and that "I'm not here to be nice" comment sort of sums up what I think is wrong with the world. It's a cop out for being cruel or callous, much like "Life isn't fair" is too often used as a reason for one's own unfair actions. That said, I don't know if a ban is or was the way to handle it. Since I'm not exactly glowing with options though, I can't say I have a better idea. Maybe ChuckG will come back a bit more humble, but somehow I think all it will do is make him bitter and maybe lose DoJ a customer. Mind you, that's hardly going to break the bank, but ...*Shrug* Well, several people tried talkin' to him about his behavior, some of whome weren't involved in the argument. Like me. He argued with me why he was justified in bein' rude. Personally, while I'm not big on banning people, I don't really see where there was much choice. lemming 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a nice try. Sorry he didn't have the sense to listen to you. When ChuckG is civil, he can actually be a source of good ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry he didn't have the sense to listen to you. When ChuckG is civil, he can actually be a source of good ideas. Ya see, there's the problem with his behavior. I've gotten to where if I see him posting, I generally don't read it just because of his behavior, so I don't see the good stuff. The only reason I caught in that thread was I happened to notice nexus posting a good bye message. One problem with communicating via internet is that, for some people, it means they don't have to behave as they would in face to face conversations. Politeness on the 'net is generally a self policing kinda thing, and some people seem to take the anonymity and distance as license to be as rude as they want to be simply because they can.

Starlord Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings I actually agreed with his initial opinion about goodbye/suicide threads and his initial opinion about Nexus' first few posts on the thread, however he was disgustingly nasty and smug on the thread which seems to be his typical way of posting. I hope he's permanently banned. Who needs him? Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Worldmaker Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings Okay' date=' if you hadn't read the original thread, then why the hell were you here automatically feeling all sorry for nexus without knowing whether or not he had any legitimate complaint??[/quote'] Because Kim doesn't have a history of posting antagonistic, condescending, and insulting responses, and Chuck does. Because Kim has in the past repeatedly stated that he was quitting this or that thread because of the ill-feelings that the thread had generated, and Chuck has a history of generating those ill feelings. And because Kim is generally a nice guy, while Chuck generally isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Gillen Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings Emma Caulfield should have won an Emmy for her performance in "The Body", an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Specifically she should have won for the scene where she portrays Anya's utter confusion over Joyce Summer's death. There were several points of BtVS that deserved Emmys. Emma, Joss' script for "The Body," Sarah Michelle Gellar in the last episode of Season 1 where Buffy told Giles and Angel that she didn't want to die... Screw Hollywood.

I agree that ChuckG was looking for trouble and found it. I also agree that I have seen other posters do the same thing with the only result being the thread being shut down. If the only criteria for banning is not being nice, then it is going to get roomy here after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
