Virgil,
Your attempt at defending WWBG was so lame it didn't deserve a full explanation. It was bros before hos in a tux.
Furthermore, you opened a locked thread to take that pathetic little pot shot at me. I believe that is an abuse of your moderator powers. I'm not going to report you, but I know exactly what you did and I'm really unimpressed.

And Virgil's use of mod power to unlock a locked thread so he could add a post taking a pot shot at Swamp was very classy.

MIlee. he didn't unlock it.. he probably didn't know it WAS locked. for mods, it all looks the same from within a thread. so quit your arguing about everything.

I respectfully decline to stop pointing out the hypocrisy and issues. If you can't handle any dissent, you need to remove me.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I've posted in locked threads when I didn't know they were locked, guys. It really does happen.

Ten minutes later, with the length of the post and your post Moon, before, does not sadly hold water.

I've posted in locked threads when I didn't know they were locked, guys. It really does happen. I'm sure it does, but given what has happened tonight, the timing was extraordinarily bad. Maybe people wouldn't be so upset if instead of defending the poor choices, there were some apologies and changes. |

Gowron did apologize, milee. Heck, we all make mistakes. That's all I'm saying. Nobody's perfect.

Trust me, after people calling him on his statement, him reiterating it and getting worse and worse over the different posts, that is not an apology, it is a backpedal. Also, he only apologized for part of his comments, not all of them. And the comments about the 15 year old girl deserve to be apologized for as well. |

Ok we get it... according to the mods we're all misinterpreting other mods actions/true intentions.... *yawn* Can't speak to the issue of Virgil's posts. Frankly, I don't agree. I stated my feelings on the subject and never said anything about the collective "you" misinterpreting. Gowron didn't express himself well, at all, and has since apologized and explained what he was thinking. Sorry, I'm still not seeing holes in anyone's hands. |

I'm not going to make that assumption. I wouldn't make it about you, or anyone else, either. If you tell me you're sorry for something, and that you misstated, I'll take you at your word. |

Doing that after at least five posts, in which one gets worse and more offensive, not reasonable to assume it. Your choice to give people that benefit, my choice (and many others) not to. |

I avoided responding in order to respect your wishes that I do not speak to you. As you've mentioned this on two different threads though, I feel compelled to address it.
I am sorry for all the comments that I made, that have caused all this trouble. I do not wish any more harm visited on this community, nor any other trouble to befall my fellow moderators.
ETA: yes, this includes any comments I made against 15 year old girls as well.

Well he did flounce off in a huff from P&M, saying he's not going to return. Guess who's back?
