I've repeatedly said that this is not a moral indictment. That would go nowhere. Not to say that I couldn't make a compelling argument to the opposite affect of what you posted above.

Indeed, it was also announced to that affect in the Cherry thread, if I recall correctly.

Well let's not forget that during the ordeal, mods (many of them were very good upright people) that were friendly to Emmie were demoted because they were seen as a "threat", which alienated us further by emphasizing the split. A lot of mods also adopted a "sit down and shut up" approach which...

I appreciate that you were able to see past the attack that was made and still honor the request. It speaks very well of you and the site.

Everyone is usually in the right from their own perspective. What I discussed in my OP wasn't a moral indictment of the mods here, it was an explanation as to why the community ditched G2 after they booted Emmie. Clearly, it's spite. I hope that the mods don't hold onto this property merely...

If the sole motivation for holding on to those articles is spite ("Because we legally can". Give me a break. . . ) then that does not do much to promote civility. (Not that Zero is promoting civility, but let's not all sink down to that. . . ) @Canabary You know there's a big difference...

Boyd's facing a lot of criticism and vinegar right now. . . but common morality is pretty clear when it comes on using someone else's intellectual property. I'd appeal to that. Unless you guys want to needlessly insult another person. It would avoid a lot of unnecessary drama, if (regarding...

Very classy. . .

I didn't post this thread out of malice. I hope you all can see that I was calm and that I am still calm. The reason I posted this thread is because I felt like someone really ought to say something objective here, rather than all of this bickering and finger pointing. I know you guys at G2 had...

To speak as the "leader" of a community, how can someone act without even taking into account the voices and wills of the people he leads? The ideal leader is not an individual (With Pride, arrogance, and stubbornness)--he is a representation of the will of the community. To be prideful in...

Before we all went our separate ways I just wanted to thank you once again for welcoming me. You're a very nice person and reading your posts was always a pleasure. I wished that I could have entered more than just one writing competition. . . it is so good to compete against so many talented...

Without their consent? I couldn't support that.

In America, I'd get locked up. Perhaps it'd be best if I found some way to cover my tracks or make it look natural, because I'm not a fan of going to jail for doing the right thing xD

If a close friend or a family member was too weak to commit suicide and was facing an incurable (and life-destroying) illness, I would do it for them even if it were illegal. With my own hands if necessary. A blood-choke, properly applied, kills in 20 seconds and is completely painless. Of...

I'm baffled by the concept. Not only can one deal with suffering, but a degree of pain in one's life can be a benefit. True despair can be fought through. In the end, suffering can strengthen the spirit. The Greeks used to say that "From suffering comes wisdom." and I'd be inclined to agree...

Oh I love the feature. I think every forum should have it. Would it be possible to get rid of the (Likes received) statistic under the username? If it would be possible, would you consider removing it altogether to prevent people from min/maxing their likes xD

We're all women! Let's have a lessbian part-aaa! Too bad the like system is going to get abused and there are going to be huge like-orgies of nonsense posts. You heard it here first, folks.

I like it when he kidnaps Susie's doll and makes a ransom note with cut out letters from a magazine xD

Interesting points. I agree. Also true. As I always like to say. "Some of the most philisophically enlightened people were slave holders." Because if you think about it, what other kind of person could afford to sit around all day and do nothing? A third very important point. If I structured...

You are being objectified for your voice! ;-o Kaze's letting subjective moral considerations creep in on this one.
