Any thread that I make will be deleted, so pms are the only way I can go. I do not want discussion about this to reach 3j before he replies to me. I want to know his reasons why, justification, and more then one side of the story before anyone does anything.
This is the message I have recently sent him yesterday:
"Alright, so before this, I've been a little on the fluff side when talking with you. I generally don't like being serious. But I'm really farking pissed at you right now.
I've heard a single side of the story, and from what I have heard, you're being a mother Farking bitch. Excuse the language.
Now, I want to hear your side of the story. Don't you dare say it isn't my business. I want to know why, whether what I'd heard is accurate, and why the hell you're doing this to Kiel.
Last time I asked you, I already knew. I was trying for a nicer way of approaching you about it, so you could say what you wished without feeling like you were being pushed and retaliate in some way. Of course, I went about it the wrong way. Asked too many questions too quickly, so I figured I'd give it time to cool off before I tried again.
With the recent events, well, I figure it's time I stopped playing nice girl too.
What I have heard:
1) You're playing favorites. You're protecting Ivy, Mizal, Bucky, End, Steve, and Malk. Your reason being that they have potential, but that leaves me baffled as to why you're bashing Kiel because he has hell of a lot of potential, because he has - sorry, had, before you - to have a featured story in every category, has proven himself to be an excellent writer, and the time/motivation to do it. And he's been helping other authors improve their work. And he was planning on bringing in more people to create stories. I'm thinking perhaps you believe him to be a threat to your position? I cannot think of anything else, honestly. If it's potential you were really after, you've just flushed the mother load down the toilet.
2) Every other mod/admin said no, but you went ahead and demoted Kiel and replaced him with end.
3) You are being paranoid, and a dictating prick. Demoting Kiel for merely not apologizing to your favorites. He made a small edit on Bucky's post, which was righted less than a couple minutes later. Bucky's been a jerk to him for a long time, and so have you. So it's only logical that he wouldn't want to do it. And also for not apologizing to End, about a small 10 point deduction, which End fully agreed with. He says that for both cases, you said that you were afraid they'd leave.
4) You chased away Seth and Kiel. Leaving only berka, who doesn't like what's happening and has just given up on doing anything and is just going with the flow. And now you've promoted one of your favorites, End. So that supports my earlier statement of you being a dictator - wanting everyone in position one who's your lapdog. Keep in mind: If it turns out that things are exactly as I heard, then even though you can easily delete a thread, you cannot delete pms. And if even if you ban me, there aren't IP bans. People will be wondering what pushed me to leave the site before tim dragged me back. And from the reaction, they all enjoy my company here. Well, with the exception of Mizal and steve. You can put two and two together, I believe.
If there's a rational spin to this that I somehow haven't seen yet, then so be it. I'll leave you alone, and I'll apologize for being on your back, and I'll see if I can calm Kiel and the rest (rest being a very small group of close friends who also know the story. It hasn't spread to very many people at all.)"
Here is the message I sent this morning:
"So, I know you have read this since you're chewing Kiel out for it. Instead of, you know, actually talking with me through it civilly. Great to know that I was not wrong in the fact that you are taking every opportunity to tear into him. ^_^
You got what you wanted, and you had him demoted and leaving. Why the hell are you still going at his throat? It's like kicking a man while he's unconscious and on the ground. It's just cruel. And then you go and wonder why he didn't want to apologize at merely your request. And to use my own message against my friend, while deciding I'm not worth your time to reply to, well, my opinion of you is only continuing to fall."
