RedDevil Wrote:Cheers for the fact on statements about my comments lads, I'm afraid I would have done much worse in replying to the insinuating inquiries of some, whose only paradigm is seemingly one stuck in the bowels of old history, feel people never change, and can never move on with life without the petty finger pointing, matter of fact, slop of pathetic mind numbness...
Actually, I thought it showed your point exactly Randy. You sent POS an email telling what you thought of his cheezy choices. You didn't make those statements public. POS chose to do that. Then you defended yourself in public after it was brought out in the open.
I had an incident very much like yours, with the same gamer, so I can relate....
Quote: Quite a chuckle, since POS and I are on the best of terms after we talked about the "incident" and let the past be the past. I have since played him again without any issues, and will do so in the future when I decide to climb back into my Panzer.
Again, as it should be. Most gamers end up smoothing over the ruffles and alot of times becoming friends.

The issue with old news Randy is that there are those that believe a leopard can't change it's spots. That if you don't pay attention to past history you are forced to relive the experiences over again. So, I'm sure you can find it in your heart to forgive those that may well have had past experiences with you, that were less than cordial, and now seeing you preach turn the other cheek.
It may take a bit more of the, "do as I do", rather than a, "do as I say" display from you to get that message to stick. A kudo to you is that you seem to be trying to make that change. I applaud you for that effort.
A HUGE part of the problem here at the Blitz IMO is the fact that the ROE's aren't specific but are open to interpretation. That means the ROE's are 100% opinion based.
What that means is the ROE's are 100% MOD OPINION BASED. Whoever the current mod is determines what the ROE's mean at this moment.
I believe that's the sole crux of alot of the issues here.
Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Not a single site I know of, even the ones I'm a mod on, are democracies. There has to be a final place for the determination of how a site is run and moderated. Where I think the Blitz sets itself up for alot of these little "discussions", is, that since so much of the ROE is open to interpretation you have things happening all over the map. Nothing set in stone so everybody is right. Then the Mod has to step in and sort it all out....very time consuming on the part of the Blitz staff I would think. Not to mention feelings getting hurt, which seems to happen in some sectors more than others.
But if as has been alluded to in this thread and this is just a game and anything goes, well then, we don't even need mods. If anything goes then everything is okay and nothing is every awry.
We all know how that works.
I think, in the past, there have been issues with the "do as I say, not as I do" form of modding. I've not seen that in awhile. I think things have improved greatly because of it.
The Blitz seems on a more level setting now than at any of the short time I've been a member here.
Good Hunting.
