Betty Wright64, I was addressing hollowtrucker77, not you, and while we're at it, don't address me like that.
When I asked you a direct question yesterday, you completely shut me down without a word and gave me some incredibly snide response. Now you’re over here trying to lecture me with that condescending "just be nice" attitude? Save that for your subjects or whoever actually tolerates being talked down to by you. You aren't going to speak to me that way—I won't allow it.
Once you learn the basic etiquette of a conversation, feel free to reach out, but until then, I have zero intention of speaking with you.

I only ever found out about the other forum because of you, MH (honestly, you just can't keep your mouth shut, so I managed to put two and two together. Sorry, girl, but that's just how it is)
If you hadn't been running your mouth everywhere trying to recruit people from here, it would never have even crossed my mind to look for it. Not that I had any trouble finding black-and-white evidence of how you're poaching users from this site
You all brought this on yourselves

The only part of that reason is a little sugar-coated, but fine, you'll forgive me—I got carried away 😁

So why don't you go ahead and report me to the moderators over there? 🤣

That bolded part definitely looks like pure trolling and an insult toward MH.

Queen, get it together, lady. This is a forum, not your personal playground.

If you have an issue with someone else, go vent about it on their own thread. Leave us out of it.
Furthermore, if you all have personal vendettas or petty grievances, take them elsewhere and settle them among yourselves.

hollowtrucker77, that’s exactly the point! We should only be discussing things that actually pertain to this forum—at least, that’s what I thought until yesterday.

So, here’s the real question: why on earth is Betty Wright64 obsessing over some other forum and some random Butterfly? Does she seriously think her little "authority" carries that much weight around here?
Since there isn’t even a user named Butterfly on this forum, who exactly am I supposed to be insulting? And how on earth can anyone call this trolling?

So, based on how Betty Wright64 just handed me two warnings, does she think I’m somehow forbidden from commenting on everything happening across the entire internet? 🙄
How on earth is anyone supposed to know who is who in the vast, lawless wilderness of the internet unless they explicitly state it? It’s common sense!

Let’s get one thing straight: Queen Marica didn't just show up and declare, "I am the Queen." That’s just her handle over on the old forums. Here, she signed up as Butterfly.
She showed up like some kind of obsessed stalker! It’s like she thinks we’re just a mindless flock of sheep and she’s arrived to drive us right back into the pen. 🙄
If this weren't so damn tragic, it would actually be hilarious.

Honestly, there is absolutely no point in even trying to argue with Betty Wright64, so I’m not going to waste my breath.

I’m addressing this post directly to hollowtrucker77 because I want a straight answer: under the official rules of this forum, did Betty Wright64 actually have the right to hand me a warning for trolling? If she did, then point me to the exact section where that's written down.
Thanks.

Listen, Betty Wright64, just skip over me and don't even bother addressing me. Your behavior is completely irrational—you’re reacting in a way that defies any semblance of normal communication.

I’m not posting this to appeal the ban itself—frankly, I couldn't care less about the penalty. My issue here is one of principle.

Here’s the deal: I started this thread over on the diaspora forum, specifically under the "chat corner ii" section.

And what did I get? A ban labeled simply as 'trolling,' with zero further explanation provided.

I want to know why this happened, because calling me a troll is a complete fabrication.

Let’s look at the definition: a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion

I wasn't being Off-topic, because this is a dedicated chat thread—which by its very nature means everything posted is on-topic. Plus, I didn't provoke a single soul.

Therefore, using 'trolling' as the justification for my ban is unacceptable. It forces the question: what was the actual reason for the strike? (By the way, she slapped me with another ban using that exact same excuse).

PS Betty Wright64, you seemed to get awfully worked up by the way I wrote about the butterfly. Why is that?
Who or what exactly is a "butterfly" to you?

Jason Wells4 said:It’s a solid idea, honestly. No question about it. 👍 Tell me how it goes, and maybe I'll swing by too. I absolutely live for Photography, though politics isn't really my thing—not that it matters. People always find something to get worked up about anyway. 👍

I certainly am not about to sit here and recount my entire experience at the Photography convention. 🤔

I’m heading over there right now. I’m going to drop in like a parachute and give my two cents on how Steven Ruiz is handling the moderation. Fair enough?

frozenseal55 said: So, what exactly is Murtela up to?

What is her actual role in this PDF document? 😕 🤷

@Steven Ruiz

Look, I'm quoting myself here, but this is genuinely important to me. I need to make sure my question doesn't just get buried under a mountain of other comments.

Jason Wells4 said:I suppose everyone is invited... regardless of what the occasion might be.

And honestly, that’s the most pathetic part of it all... but hey, "democracy" always seems to be in overdrive when it comes to nonsense like this.

I’m going to head over to the Photography section (which I don't even read, by the way), though maybe they're busy debating about Steven Ruiz over there—in which case, I'll jump in to give my two cents on colors, shadows, and the moderator. 😁

... or maybe I'll just swing by Politics... because that's where all the lost sheep always seem to wander from anyway. 😁

Jason Wells4 said:Just because I’m not posting doesn't mean I’m not reading... 😍

Typical.

Now we’re going to see a tidal wave of forum users rushing in to "support" or criticize Steven Ruiz's moderation here in the Diaspora, despite the fact that none of them have even laid eyes on this PDF. 🙄

I already brought this up in another thread, but they wiped it out, what is Murtela actually up to?

What is her role in this PDF anyway? 😕 🤷

wiredmason50 said:Personally, I have to wonder how mothers on this forum with two little girls even find the time to moderate or post anything at all.

For crying out loud, why do you even care?! It is none of your business whether they have fifteen kids and still manage to moderate and post on this site.

I have never said anything harsh to you because my upbringing demands that I remain civilized, but right now, I have to tell you that you are an absolutely loathsome old man—so malicious it’s actually unbelievable.
You are constantly sipping on poison wrapped in cellophane. 🤮
You are boring to the extreme, but you are hateful to the core.
And for once, just get off the back of the Diaspora. God forbid you were ever given the chance to moderate. Honestly, Auschwitz would look like a summer camp compared to you serving as a moderator.
