      Listen. They built themselves a community there that really fits the level of self-awareness and spite this whole thing demonstrated.

      I, for one, wish them all the best building a more positive and constructive community with the likes of vulgarkitten, ghost, derp and macha.

      Bless that mess.

        @Testament I think it’s also worth recognising the power relationships in play - in that one side in this had, and claimed, absolute power and authority. We are nerds, we should all be familiar with the idea that with great power comes great responsibility.

        But, it is all over now. They’ve got the person convinced there is a giant conspiracy of Farfalla supporters stalking unspecified people making threats, and Ghost telling everyone how great it is to be nice while throwing insults around at people not on the board. So. They can enjoy that. We can enjoy constructive stuff. I’ve got more out of a few days of BMD so far than my time on MSB!

        When someone shows you who they are, over and over again? Believe them.

                  Can we ban them here? Don’t want MSB getting all the fun.

                        @Tez I wonder if we’re gonna get a Review of Review of Bannings for whatever extra bans these conversations will trigger.

                        Ask me about professional wrestling.

                          The community has had a lifetime’s worth of bans that are a total joke in just the span of like a month. NO MORE JOKING ABOUT BANS.

                            As true as that might be, and I’m by no means saying you’re wrong, but there has to come point where you simply decide to just stop. It’s not worth the fight, it’s not worth the insults, it’s not worth the instigation. The reality is, it’s not worth any of it. That there has to point where one just needs to wash their hands of it

                            I’d say that to anyone. I don’t know if any of it is worth it and the one thing I don’t want to suddenly see is a ‘A vs B’ or a ‘red vs blue’ thing here or whatever other analogy I’m not bothering to think of.

                            The only thing I care about is wherever I post to not be an echo chamber. I want to be disagreed with, because, speaking personally, I’m not going to improve as a person unless things I believe in are challenged to make me think seriously upon them.

                            @Narson It was an abuse of the power dynamic, I won’t bother arguing that. The only thing I’d point out is that I tend look upon it as a decision that was a poorly chosen, which was then followed by an inability to realize that decision was perhaps not the best due to the feedback it got. That is when I think the abuse of power became apparent, is when there was a decision to double-down instead of having a moment of self-reflection to think “Is this the right choice?”

                            In the end, it is what it is, as people for the most part have already made their choice on the matter.

                              @Testament Yeah. I really regret posting on the thread at all. I shouldn’t have logged back in.

                              I should never post anywhere when I’m so mad I’m seeing red.

                              let it be a challenge to you

                                        Conspiracy theory time.

                                        What if Ganymede wanted to end MSB ALL ALONG?! Her RL has gotten so busy that she couldn’t control MSB with so many members as it was but didn’t want to let go of her online authoritah so she hired someone that she knew would be divisive and would let to at least half of the members would be banned or leave on their own so she wouldn’t have to do so much work but still appear cool calm collected catbot (BECAUSE THAT PERSONALITY IS SO FUNNY!) and it worked out enough because she’s cold emotionless lawyer who doesn’t have time for FEELINGS and admitting to making a mistake is a fate far worse than DEATH!
