This got lost amongst the deletions:
I haven't been posting, obviously (and I'm sure you care so very much since you love me), mainly because I disagreed with the way that the forum was going. More and more censorship in discussions, more prevalent deletions, tossing around words of authority, Gabe disabling PMs (which is super-over-reactiony in my mind), etc.
That isn't to say I'm moving to the other forums, as I'm not, but that's tangential - though I feel the need to mention it for fear I'm interpreted the wrong way.
ANYWAY
So given that I dislike the direction, I don't myself really want to take part in it anymore since it'd make me feel dirty (like an atheist at communion or something), so I've reverted to just lurking, not posting or taking part anymore. Which I'm sure is to the glee of some, since some find me horribly abrasive and a waste of time (take it to the philosophy board), so thumbs up to them!
So why am I posting again now? Just this once, don't worry, it's my last post - I won't go breaking my word or nuffin' since I'm a good Bat, but because Orb here is apparently banned for what exactly? A discussion? An argument? From what I can tell he didn't link to the other forums, he didn't post secret material here, he didn't call anyone a gigantic faggot - in fact HE was here being insulted by Quas and Yhorian. So? Well, given that Orb and I aren't BFFs. Given I regularly have argued with him on the merits (or from my view, the lacking merits) of conspiracy theories, etc. Given that I find many of his views terribly disasgreeable with mine. But given ALL THE SAME that this ban leaves a bad taste in my mouth - I felt the need to post. Though I also feel the need to finish that Zulgh card I was working on, but that ban killed that so oh well sorry to anyone who drew on it.
It's like if....Imagine seeing Pro or someone banned for something unreasonable. You may dislike them, but the ban itself disgusts you so you'd come to their defense. That whole "I may disagree with what you say, but I'll defend your right to say it" deal, THEY MAY TAKE OUR HOMES, BUT THEY'LL NEVER TAKE OUR FREEEDOMM! But much less dramatic....
Anyway, I really don't understand this ban - at all. Unless I'm missing some deleted post. Instead I see him being called a cheater, I see him being called bitter.
Then I see Yhorian, a VIP, calling him a "bitter asshole" - which not only is an insult that apparently can get people banned (since insults have become bannable) but is also takes away from the conversation, is in clear view on the main board's front page, etc.
I really don't get it.
Anyway, I'm moving on. Not from CF, I still play it religiously. But from QHCF. It makes me sad, given that I have a ridiculous post count here and given the number of pleasurable conversations/discussions/people I've been able to interact with, but all the same given that I'm a Millean fanatic utilitarian with Sartresian-Marxist leanings who abhors classic sophist fallacies....I can't much just enjoy something while it's being so.....Gross :-/. That's the best word I have for it.
I just don't understand it, I really don't. But I could be retarded and just missing the obvious - maybe I'll come back eventually if stuff changes, but as long as this is the primary direction of the board, and as long as there is ridiculous inconsistency between the bans and the bannable and the ban'ers, I shall be but a husk of my former self ;__;
Remember.....qhcf.....i'll.....always.....love......thee....
More importantly, keep an eye out in your local records store for the QHCF album. More songs will come, just not posted here.
