Even when he’s on the same side as you on an argument it feels more about him trying to demonstrate his aloof superiority then a genuine attempt to be constructive.
No, that’s me.
I mean, it is true. Ghost doesn’t need to demonstrate his superiority, he just alters words and meanings until it is self evident. He doesn’t attack people, you see. He only attacks bullies. So all the rampant attacking he does, over and over again, must be because others are bullies. Because he attacked them. And he wouldn’t attack them if they weren’t bullies. It’s so logical.
Just like the conspiracy of people harassing Macha’s friends for farfalla, or how people were being held back by a clique with no direct power (compared to an admin who banned a lot) and are now free etc etc. And that’s their reality, their nice little emotional space, where they can’t be told they are wrong about it, because it isn’t real in the first place. In the same way “our” version of how things went down will have elements of our own emotion around it creating our own altered version of it all.
I just know that if one list has @Snackness and @tsar, and the other has Ghost? I know which list I want to be on. He can call it a clique or bullying or name calling, I just call it having friends and cultivating my own little bit of happiness.

@Sparrow Between Gany not explaining why Ghost’s ban was lifted, like she felt the need to do for the rest, and Ghost ALREADY resorting to personal attacks and name calling, let’s see how long until he gets banned again.

I doubt much will be done. He has already engaged in attacks and broken the rules around assuming good faith etc, and others around him have got warnings and bans, and he skated on by. You are trying to find an objective yard stick for action, when the reality it is ‘What serves Gany and Derp best at this particular time and in their particular mind set’
-
@KarmaBum Oh, yeah, he’s already made clear that he is. And that what I told called him clearly got its burrs into him and stuck with him – which is good. It should. He should be thinking “am I slimy piece of shit for this performative niceness when I routinely talk shit in the next breath?”
Also, Ghost, I never got banned! Hate to burst your bubble.
-
yeah the whole “diverse opinions” thing is really weird when one side is “hates women” and the other side is “thinks slut shaming is bad”
like yeah…that’s the big difference that I can see between clique and not clique, sooooo if that’s really your view on the “sides” of the issue…
well the moderating decisions over there do make a lot of sense, if those are your teams
eta: if I’m clique now when I’m RPing again will some of you fuckers PLEASE play with me ffs

Not to play devil’s avocado here, but I think now it’s less about what Gany wants and more about what Derp wants. For all the grandstanding and iron-fisting (ooh err matron) done by Gany, I’d absolutely believe that Derp was “the decider” on the unbannings and the new code of misconduct.
-
@IoleRae I TRY I’M JUST BAD ABOUT COMMITMENT
also I don’t think I qualify as clique, but I don’t know. I never got membership cards and I’m not in any like secret clique discords or anything.

I’m not very in the loop, when was he banned and over what?Nvm, he was one of the ones posting after the silence command.
-
shh you are already part of my clique
you count in the “not dead” portion of things, there aren’t many of you, you are rare and valuable

Funny trivia about the forum software. Because I had Derp blocked before he became Admin, I actually can’t read the CoC or other new announcements while logged in :=)

@Sparrow I can’t log in because my new password is sixty-some-odd characters long and I don’t know what it is.

lmao what the hell

I may have called Ghost out on his shit with pictures even.
It won’t have an effect.
But it still felt good.

Query non-specific, further information required.
A concise summary of everything.
(no but seriously, lmao at that list of banned/unbanned)

Yeah he’s just doubled down and predictably called his own words a smear campaign against him.
Ha ha! It’s just like <insert controversial narcissistic media figure here>!
-
If I had thought about it, I could go back through his post history and probably find some good examples of him doing it there, like, oh:
Ghost, Circa January 2021:
“Coming from a miserable person who repeatedly rushes in with snark of her own then retreats into a pity hole after being clapped at for it, this is a pretty bold statement. Sit your judgmental ass down if you’re not ready to stand up to honest judgment, yourself.” -
I think it may be perhaps best to just leave them to it. Constantly going there just to rail against the injustice of it all starts to just look… crazed after a while.
We’ll do us, they can do them.
