Why do I even bother?

ACTUALLY, techinically, you cannot prove a negative, which means, one cannot prove that something doesn’t exist, or something hasn’t happened, because if something isn’t there, then there WILL be no evidence to prove it. The burden of proof lies on the person who says that it does exist or it did happen, because there will be some kind of evidence left over. Kinda like saying, “Prove God exists,” as opposed to, “God doesn’t exist.” You can’t prove the latter because if God doesn’t exist, then there’s no evidence for OR against his existence, right? So, in this case, the burden of proof lies on the ops, since they’re the ones saying that BL’s case WAS INDEED reviewed, blah blah blah. BUT, since the thread was lost in the server wipe, we’re kinda stuck in a stalemate, huh. :slight_smile:

Anyway, I just wanted to show off what I learned in Philosophy class.

TD, yeah, why would i want to hang around with people who dont like me ?

Because you’re desperate and lonely like me. :frowning:

EDIT: Gosh and golly olly, so many posts as I was typing this. :o

However, Nessa, Nate is arguing that we Ops acted in a way that was biased towards him. He is claiming the existence of a bias and a fault in our procedures. By what you stated, the burden of proof lies with him.

984, okay, lets discuss this now… Why was i banned ? simple question.

EDIT: i would like to point out that i am not mad or angry whatsoever, and i hope no one else is.

#32

If enough ops voted to ensure a majority no matter what the votes from the other ops are then the ban is immediately passed.

#33

I would like to appologize for this comment. I was outta line in making it.

EDIT: GRR, i need to learn to stop thinking of things to say AFTER i click “submit”

Cless, majority rules, okay, i can understand that. But my point is, do they all know exactly what they were looking at ? They seen me at my worst possible moments, and then judged me. A point i would like to make is, if i am such a rule breaking troll, trying to stick it to the facist “man”, why am i not getting in all kinds of trouble here, on these web boards ? GRanted, Cloth was probably pissed when i made that thread… but i meant to make my point, and didnt get to it(possibly because it was derailed)… Anywho, i would like to ask, if both sides are civil, and open to any possibility, what is there to argue over ?

#34

You did, you’re just ban evading right now.

#35

>Cless, majority rules, okay, i can understand that. But my point is, do they all know exactly what they were looking at ? They seen me at my worst possible moments, and then judged me.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with this. Are the ops supposed to judge you based on a completely unrelated event?

#36

OOOOooooohhhhhh. Clever clever. You win this round. shakes fist

#37

Cless, well, they could have waited untill things, and tempers, calmed down before trying to discuss it.

Cloth, how am i ban evading right now ?

(the comment to Cloth was what i edited in)

#38

Actually your case (including whether or not you’re evading amongst other things) is being discussed right now in the admin forum thanks to the attention you brought yourself lately. And we don’t really need to wait for tempers to calm down since we have plenty of people like me who in this situation haven’t flared and even then, the people who “need to calm down” are pretty calm, so its not like much calming is needed. Even if people weren’t calm, 1-2 staffers aren’t going to be able to do anything without proper authorization and cooperation.

#39

My case ? I didn’t even know i had a case.

How can i be banned without notification, and evade that ban, and not be notified or punished for the offense ? And on what grounds is the ban based ?

#40

Sorry, I wasn’t clear enough. I meant you were evading your perm ban, the one you acquired back when your nick on these boards was Nate something (Nate_555?).

#41

I wasnt banned then. I left because i was mad at everyone.

#42

i came back May 29 of 3002… even if i was banned, thats a pretty long time for it to be considered ban-evasion, isnt it ? So i make a few debatable posts about a sensitive issue, does that mean you need to “find” something on me ?

This reminds me why i rarely post outside the FFC… i’m gonna go back there… i’ll drop by in a few days to see whats what, unless someone wants to message me. I like getting PM’s !

#43

The problem with the current issue was the attitude and vocabulary with a lot of the posts you were making (ie trolling) and the fact that you were spamming the chat room forum with your claims by hijacking multiple threads to badly make an issue about what was going on.

#44

Sin, okay, if thats the issue, why this sudden claim that i’m evading a ban ?

#45

Because it was recalled that you were permanently banned with that name, and we’re not in the habit of giving amnesty to people who are perm banned, especially when they technically are evading.

#46

Heh, pretty “convenient” that i kick up a little dust and suddenly it is “recalled” that i am permanently banned.

#47

Not all mods monitor all the boards, therefore if 1 mod who doesn’t know something makes a report, then other mods who might know something hears about it, then the issue will be brought up and discussed. There’s nothing convenient about it. The fact you’re still here shows that we’re not as tyranical as you say since we should’ve technically just banned you before saying that comment on convenience. It shows we’re talking amongst ourselves and doing the job which you say we don’t do.

#48

Sin, which, believe me, is changing my opinion a little. I mean, how would you feel if you were in my position ? I’ve been here for about a year and a half, and this was NEVER an issue. Why, now that i take part in an argument, is it an issue now ?
