    Forums are run for the benefit of the contributors, ... and when they tire of a thread, they'll stop posting, no need for the Mods to intervene.

    Seems Tiassa was over modding, and trying to bury the truth, when SAM got caught out in yet another lie.

    So, if I get your angle, you think that there is some doubt over what I saw three years ago, because some time has passed? That I saw a bobblehead, but misinterpreted it as a photograph?

    That's a hell of stretch kiddo, and kinda ridiculous. Why don't you get that chip off your shoulder and try a rational character assassination, because this tack is making you look desperate.

    Brief Points

    Two points:

    • You have no proof of your accusation. You've never even tried to back your accusation. You should feel lucky that we're not all James R, or else I would be obliged to suspend you for lying about me.

    • It's true I was over-moderating; I figured a thread that had been off-topic for several days, that derived from a bullshit back-room setup by the administration probably wasn't serving any useful purpose, but Plazma certainly corrected that mistaken notion.​

    i dont give a shit about what you claim to have seen
    what i know is the sole eyewitness report of something seen 3 years ago is inherently unreliable (1)

    put up some tangible evidence or shut the frak up, woo woo

    I'd like to ask some questions on this point. Normally I don't like lies or slander or censorship. However this is a science forum and has guidelines that people agree to follow when they register. I'm not sure how moderator's or the administrator are selected here, however I'm sure they all have qualities that made them good choices.

    But conflicts that involve moderator's needs a quick resolution and once resolved needs never to be brought up again, at least in the normal posting categories of this forum.

    I'd like to propose an alternate solution, when two or more posters get into very distracting squabbles that seem to carry on forever.

    Create a new sub-forum called the “The Cage” and put all the combatants in the cage until they agree the problem has been resolved. Allow all the general forum population to participate as backers, friends, critics or hecklers. If this sub-forum becomes popular enough you might be able to charge admission.

    I'm sure you went to a lot of trouble to steel it and then make make modifications hoping to get a reaction from the owner of the original avatar. Has it worked?

    Other than that, no it's not offensive.

    If your positions were reversed, would it have worked on you?

    No I probably would think it cool to an extent which is making me want to change avators. I was going to do yours but I didnt think it would be effective. Maybe someone more sensitive?

    That might be cool, I would be very curious as to what you could do with it? What program do you use to make the modifications with? You also might find a clown picture you like better below.

    Maybe when the original "owner" sees it he'll get pissed.
    Me? I can't see a damn thing for that hideous glaring blue colour.

    It's old hat. [ENC]Avatarism[/ENC] is a long-standing SciForums "tradition". You'll only annoy newbies by doing it.

    I've never seen a clown with a blue nose before. That might be cool.

    You are being ridiculous. Missing the point that the image in question was in plain sight at the time. Go look back at the original thread where the complaint was made and the discussion surrounding it, then get back to me about evidence.

    You just have an axe to grind, and are comparing apples to oranges. Give up, and take that chip off your shoulder.

    And you are being short sighted as usual, because SAM is involved. I know what I saw three years ago! She's dishonestly trying to use three years of history to create ambiguity.

    Apart from linking to an image which I think the avatar was cropped from? How would I provide proof, given this bulletin board only stores one, current avatar? If you read the discussion in the original thread, there is discussion of a Swastika which is NOT visible on the avatar SAM claims to be the one in question, but CLEARLY is present on the image I think she cropped. Also, do you think, really, seriously, I would have taken offence to a fucking bobblehead? Really? Get a grip dude.

    You did over moderate, and lo and behold it's in a thread where SAM's bullshit is being called. So I think it's YOU who needs to prove your motivations are pure matey, 'cos you have a pattern in your behaviour.

    And instead of posting a polite message asking for folk to bring the discussion back on track you tried to bury the thread. I'm calling bullshit on your motive.
