I find it rather entertaining how you think I have pretended to be a "spy" in any sense - if I had any intention of spying on you guys, would it not have been prudent to, oh, I don't know, maybe not use the same e-mail address, or my usual RP name? *shrugs* I'm sorry but you do have a bad habit of jumping to the worst of conclusions. Also, in response to your issue with making posts - I would wager your "modification" had something to do with it.
Finally, do be aware that your penchant for digging up old (six month+) posts to attempt to use as bait to goad a response from the moderation team is... well, not very original. I mean, you're digging up posts from before you even joined. That's just sad ma'am... or sir (the change in posting style hasn't gone unnoticed either... if Neverfly is using your account at all, I advise you to tell him to kindly knock it the frack off)
To think that I had actually spoken in your defense, and now all this... *shrugs* c'est la vie.
Mate, seriously, if you don't see the irony and disingenuousness in your actions and excuses in the case of joining that other forum using another user name, and then saying you didn't mean to deceive....well, it is just astounding the lengths to which a mod will go to excuse himself while blaming others for the same thing!
Remeber when I registered my "Mars Rover" Experiment name for the purpose of scientifically falsifying/confirming the observed mod-troll pattern/problem here? I explained the scientific necessity for what I did to ensure a 'new' name for the test. I also point out that it was temporary. I also now point out that I knew full well my 'cover' was not foolproof, but since it was not meant to deceive 'permanently' and was for a good cause, I didn't bother going to extraordinary lengths (like using a temporary overseas IP etc etc which I could have done) to hide my Mars Rover experiment's "identity".
Now here you are, attempting to 'excuse' yourself when YOU do much the same, but I got banned because you did not accept that same line of justification for MY action!
Doesn't that tell you something is wrong with your attitude in general, let alone as a supposed 'mod' whose duty it is to be fair? I have pointed, and proven beyond all reasonable doubt via time-limited experiment, that hypocrisy, double standars and plain elitist arrogance that 'the rules' don't apply to mod-trolls who 'think they own' the rules and can apply them capriciously, mendaciously, maliciously and hypocritically.....seemingly with the impression that when YOU do it it's alright!
Mate, at least I had a scientific purpose and justification for doing "Mars Rover" temporary subterfuge crucial for the experiment....but YOU, you did it without any saving justification, and when found out you use an excuse which you didn't accept for ME.
Hey, everyone, let's all stop kidding ourselves. There IS a demonstrated mod-troll mentality of double standard ego and malice and personal agendas. Sometimes there is similar on the part of some ordinary member. How about we stop pretending and making excuses for BOTH types of behaviour, hey?
I and others have now well demonstrated where the problems lay; and I and others have made constructive suggestions how the problems from both 'sides' can be tackled and the site made less vulnerable to malicious manipulation by either 'side'.
Just be fair in moderation in open forum for transparency so we all know how things stand based on the open facts; and don't employ such double standards and hypocrisy and mendacious excuses/distortions; and by this method we can all see which are the real trolls and troublemakers, and who the genuine members/mods. Why is there so much resistance to common sense and fair play approach? Why try to maintain the facade of respectability, when even Kittamaru has now further proven that mods can't be trusted for as long as THEY do the same things that others do but think they are immune from the rules of fair play?
Come on, Kittamaru, stop your disingenuous "shrugs" and own up: admit your ironic faux pas there, and then let's all grow up and move constructively forward together with good will and fairness as a starting point instead of making it necessary for people to complain after the event for redress of obvious injustice.
We are supposed to be scientist and human beings together here to discuss ideas, not just bicker and make personal powerplays and trolls etc.
Just do it. We all know it must be done sooner or later if the site is to remain relevant. So let's do it now without further excuses and distractions. Only good can come of it if we act according to the well demonstrated facts so far discovered. Good luck, site and members and mods alike!
