@GF I LOVE THEIR BEAN BURRITOS. Raw onions and red sauce and cheese and beans yes please.
-
@Pavel They have an OK range. And you can make it better with your own combos. Like the seasoned fries dipped in dulce de leche, or dipping the cinnamon crunch things in the nacho cheese.
When someone shows you who they are, over and over again? Believe them.

No matter HOW MANY TIMES you INSIST this is OKAY, it is NOT.

You should feel bad for posting this. It is that gross.
So gross. Omg. I keep imagining it. Make it stop. Somebody. Please.

@Narson Or the potatoes with the caramel apple empanada.

I just think of a black bean quesarito and it’s like nothing can hurt me anymore

Having played games that never made bannings, or if they did they were always on the down low, it bred a culture of not reporting issues. But also a culture of whispering and rumours about it. Were they justifiable bans or an ice pick that made their ears burn?
Anyway, the culture of not reporting it meant was that some pretty horrible predators remained unbanned and unreported for far too long.

@Whisky This simply reinforces my view that if nothing is seen to be done, then nothing may as well have been done.
There’s a difference, in my mind, between announcing a punishment having been carried out and using public shaming to instil order. Public shaming is the punishment, when it’s used. Whereas public notification not only announces “these behaviours will not be tolerated” but also both “we are telling you what we’re doing” and “we take this seriously.”

@Testament That is not a fedora. That is a trilby. Trilbies are horrible and are often worn by “fedoras” or “neckbeards.” The fedora is the awesome hat of Indiana Jones, Frank Sinatra, and half of Humphrey Bogart’s characters. It has a significantly wider brim.
Yes, I’m being a pedant. But I love fedoras and think trilbies look silly and have been used by assholes who are then told that they’re fedoras.

@Roadspike my favorite hat is a bright red fedora that I got at a convention as a replica of Peggy Carter’s bright red fedora. I almost never have occasion to wear it, because… when on earth am I going to wear a hat, but-- when I do, I like it.
let it be a challenge to you

@sao I often wear a fedora, especially at work. I also have a homburg for more formal occasions. I am sure you can work out why the former is amusing.

@Narson honestly i wasn’t supporting your banning before but now that i know you wear a fedora…

@Jennkryst said in Bannings:
@icanbeyourmuse Yeah, it is VERY GOOD I didn’t have the account to fire it off. It’s one of those ‘get mad at a video game, throw the controller at the screen, and then realize OH NO immediately’ situations, FOR SURE.
In light of RECENT NEWS, I’m back on my bullshit about this and still kinda glad I haven’t really looked in over there in weeks and don’t have the account un-banned to fire off the response I REALLY WANT TO when someone inevitably gives me a perfect setup for it. War were declared, and I need as many outlets to calm myself down.

Yo.
So.
I really do want to put this shit in my rearview mirror. I’ve been trying. I have never said my ban was undeserved or that I didn’t know exactly what I was doing when I said “fuck you @ganymede” in a moment where I well and truly meant it and was fully aware it was going to get me a ticket out of this particular internet discussion forum. Fair enough.
That being said.
Today I have read tell of ABUSIVE DMS being the real and true reason people got banned. Which has never really been floated before (save in conversation about a ban that was overturned). But here it is. So.
Here are my DMs with Ganymede which it has never been implied were any part of the reason I got banned, but, hey, the implication is there now, and so I am posting them.

They are imo kinda boring, contain stuff I think I’ve posted before but can’t remember, and basically paraphrase things I said in a public thread on MSB, but if anyone is shocked, OK. I will own being a person who occasionally uses profanity and quotes George Orwell in somewhat confusing ways. I think both my friends and enemies will agree I am this person. I’m aite with that.
Edited to Add: I would really like to underline that DMs were requested as a way to defuse and resolve this initial mishegoss and, while I will not say I tried nicely, I did try in good faith. Wasn’t repaid. So it fucking goes I guess. Here it is for public consumption.

Yeah, pitching the DMs that were sent to staff by angry people as part of staff’s attempt to get a handle of the situation as problematic is…uh. Problematic.
I recommend against anyone taking them up on their invitation to DM their team as part of conflict resolution, if they’re going to pitch those DMs as abusive or harassment.
I know, I know, I know this doesn’t counter what folks are probably feeling right now, but what’s happening there is…very very very clear from an external standpoint.
