I'm a monster.

[Murphie]

Apparently. Well, it depends on who you ask, but if you do ask the right ones, they'll set you straight. Murphie? Complete menace.

Earlier today I posted (jokingly) in a thread created by another member here. You know who I'm talking about. I was saying good luck without saying good luck. But people didn't see it that way, which is cool. I can understand that.

Anyway, a few weeks ago I sent several PMs to that person we all know about asking for a general truce on the forums. I never got a response. But I kept up my end regardless of the fact that my offer hadn't even been acknowledged, much less agreed to.

Whatever.

So just a minute or two ago, I got the craziest PM.

You ignore me.
I'll ignore you.
Deal?

For the record, I've banned you from the LBR forums, I already cleared it with the admin there. I had your IP address confirmed with Jei, too. You were a suck-up there and talked shit about them here. I will not tolerate you and your nonsense over there.

And I see that you're fixed on a few other users. Find it within yourself to exercise some self-control and leave them be. I'm brickwalling whatever it is you say from now on.

Reply to this PM and I'll delete it.
Spam replies and I will report you, period.

That is all.

I'm floored. Seriously. I don't know where this is coming from, and the stuff regarding LBR? Crazy. I posted, like, three times when they first launched offering some support, but later changed my mind when the show didn't grow or change. So I just stopped posting there. And when it was brought up here, I stated my opinion pretty reasonably, or so I thought.

So, it's really no skin off my nose, but my account at LBR which hasn't been used in months is now IP Banned because someone is crazy.

As for these other members who I am fixated on? I really haven't the slightest clue who they are. Maybe someone will clue me in.

I've always thought that I got along reasonably well with most folks here. But maybe I'm wrong. I really don't know any of you well enough to say. But honestly, the environment here, which used to be awesome, is really kind of disheartening and depressing these days. There are still a lot of really great posters here, and I think the community is still one of the best FFXI ones out there, but man. I just don't know what's going on anymore.

So anyway, I just wanted to apologize for pissing anyone off. Completely unintentional, with maybe one exception. But even then, you have my sincere apologies. Some MMO forum isn't worth all this drama.

Best of luck, folks.

Some combinations just leaves a bad taste in the mouth (sour cream and guacamole for me--don't know why). It's not the sour cream's fault, and probably not the guacamole, either.

p.s. I didn't get that fire thing, but I did figured it was a joke. (Thought you needed more coffee or something.)

Re: I'm a monster.

I took ignore off only for a moment, you confirmed my decision why I'm ignoring you.

You never sent one PM, either, that's a lie. Sad you even made a drama post, much less posted my PM like a coward. Go to KI if you're going to do that crap, it has no place here.

And don't bother to confirm the sent posts, even if you did send them, you're on Ignore, remember? Never got an email, either, I check that email once a week.

Re: I'm a monster.

Its hard to pick up on sarcasm sometimes on the internet because we cannot see body language or hear a tone of voice. All you can do is explain yourself or ignore it.

This site is still the nicest and "cleanest" site I visit about FFXI. It would be ridiculous to think that everyone got along.

You never sent one PM, either, that's a absolute lie. Sad you even made a drama post, much less posted my PM like a coward.

I sent several. I can even forward them to a mod if you'd like to see.

Skoal - The fact is, I just don't feel comfortable enough to post here anymore. If I'm going to be accused of such outlandish and monstrous behavior by someone (who apparently has mods that agree with him, if my warning list and IP being handed out are any indication) with no evidence to support it...well, I just don't really know what to say.

Re: I'm a monster.

Um. As a meddler who has send BOTH BBQ and Muphie PM's regarding this topic, I'd like to say that both of them seem sincere in their desire for less conflicts--I believe them--both of them.

That they are not really doing a great job now is almost besides the point.

>_>;
<_<;

Quit baiting and quit biting, the both of you! >_<

Re: I'm a monster.




Well, I may be a coward, but I'm trying to be an honest one. The PMs were sent. I posted about them on the forums at the time I sent them, and told other members about them as well. I didn't send an email though.

I wouldn't have mentioned a thing to the community at large, but the accusations made in that PM, and the fact that I was banned for no reason at another forum (that I don't even go to), and that my IP was given out to you was too much to keep quiet about.

Re: I'm a monster.

I don't know who's right and who's wrong, but I'd just like to point out that I'd be sad to see Murphie go. He's been a good contributing member on this forum. The same can be said for BBQ, as well. I don't expect everyone to get along but "agree to disagree" would work wonders in this situation.

Re: I'm a monster.

Goddamn people. Come on. Seriously... is this necessary?

I do not care enough to take sides. So spare me.

Murphie, if you care enough about the community, and you have contributed, then why this would even phase you is beyond me. Id be laughing, not running away. And it was a warning... Omgwtfbbqkitten got one too. I didnt lower your credit rating or fire you from a job.

Omgwtfever, just stop. You posted very personal information on a public forum. Did you seriously think you wouldnt get offended by something said about that?


Just drop it. No one wants to see anyone leave, but the person who causes the most problems is the one who is going to feel unwelcome. If you cant just accept the fact that you wont get along with everyone in the world then there is nothing anyone can say or do to change that.

[Murphie]

Re: I'm a monster.

Thanks, Aksannyi.

net.drifter - I'm not running away. I'm just making it clear that I don't feel comfortable with what has been happening around here. It's in off-topic (so no one is getting a post boost), and I think I've been pretty respectful and reasonable.

[Omgwtfbbqkitten]

Re: I'm a monster.

Sometimes you make peace, sometimes you just tell somone to f*** off. Both often work to the same ends.

net.drifter is going to lock this, he's already made the warning the last thread he closed. At least I'm not the instigator here.

Omgwtfever, just stop. You posted very personal information on a public forum. Did you seriously think you wouldnt get offended by something said about that?

I didn't even reply to the comment made in said thread, I have no clue what you're talking about in that regard. I just rolled my eyes and replied to who was being relevent.

Re: I'm a monster.

I'm really sorry, BBQ. I didn't mean anything unpleasant in your hospital thread.

Re: I'm a monster.

He's a coward because he's trying to end some stupid bickering you keep promoting on an internet forum? Your pathetic BBQ, honestly. After coming to the realization and making it public that you have had depression problems and lashed out at people IRL that may or may not be linked to your seizures, you really think that your in the clear here and its all him? Huh? That you can just ignore anyone who opposes your opinion when you go around forcing yours down everyones throat? Honestly dude, grow up or don't reply on a forum. This conduct isn't acceptable on normal society, it isn't acceptable on an internet society. I dunno what's gotten in to you the last few months.

Honestly, Murphy has already presented proof that he's been trying to resolve issues here, and you obviously haven't shown any interest in doing the same and in fact are making matters worse. And yes, you instigated this the moment you sent him a pm, public or not you did it.

[Vyuru]

Re: I'm a monster.

Well, I do remember Murphie mentioning those posts awhile ago, so I highly doubt they would be fake/made up, I will say that.

I took ignore off only for a moment, you confirmed my decision why I'm ignoring you.

Just, assuming that he is honestly confused and trying to figure out what is going on, what in his post was so inflammatory that you feel that your decision is confirmed? I'm reading it and I am not seeing anything hateful or obvious lies, I am honestly curious.

Personally, I think the major problem is that you are both strongly opinionated people, and I'm not sure, but I kinda think that both of you like to get in the last word sometimes, which can lead to some serious friction in some instances.

I'd really have to agree with IfritnoItazura, Skoal, and Adsannyi here, they offer some good advice.

Now kiss and make up!

Posting a PM displays a lack of tact and cowardly behavior. Take the PM at face value, accept some people just don't like you and move on.
