Quick question

hollowtrucker77 said:Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate: we are talking about this forum.
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 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.

It’s probably because you were being disrespectful over on that other thread.
The username doesn't really matter at this point.
You went after one of our regular community members on that platform, and that's exactly why you're getting a strike here.
If you had some kind of issue with her there, you should have handled it there—either by dealing with it privately or just reporting it to the moderator on that site, instead of dragging a whole argument from another forum over here to our doorstep.
That's not our business...
But it becomes our business the moment you start attacking our own members or the mods right here on our home turf.

And that second strike? That was strictly for continuing to troll after you were already given a warning.

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.

Sandra Ward23, seriously, get a grip. This is an online forum, not your personal backyard.

Come on, please—let's try to look at this objectively.
If you're actually looking for an insult to quote, maybe just read what MH wrote.

shadowdrifter34 said: you're lying again

hahaha

I guess I have every right (totally justified, really) to call you a liar!

You seriously don't know how to sit still, do you?
Do I really have to spell everything out for you?

Just Google "dead_cold,"
and the whole world will open up to you 🤣
a whole new world 😂

I mean, you're young, you're smart, and you're supposedly tech-savvy enough to know how things work these days 🙂
It's not like you don't realize you leave a digital footprint everywhere you go, right? 😉
And honestly, your own constant chatter is what pushed me to look into this in the first place
(I never would have even thought about someone moving if you hadn't been tossing all that info around)

When it comes to the forum I moderate, I have every right to jump in and respond whenever I feel it's necessary...
New York City will give you an answer too, so there's really nothing to worry about.

And if this is what passes for a "polite inquiry" regarding a ban, then honestly, I’m just speechless... I'll quote the exact wording here:
"Now why don't you smarty-pants tell me exactly why I got banned?", not to mention the fact that the question was posted in the completely wrong section...

🙄

First off, my response was perfectly polite considering the "reasoning" you provided for the ban:

'Oh please, do you think we're stupid? Betty Wright64'

Secondly, you aren't running the whole forum, you are just one of the moderators on this PDF, so stop cluttering this thread with your endless explanations.
You've already made your point several times; how many more times are you planning to repeat yourself?

Respect your interlocutor if they ask you not to address them.
If you had asked me that, I would have respected your wish simply because I respect myself.

Whatever. Bye.

Look, if your appeal actually holds water, there isn't much left to debate here.
You were being provocative, and you got flagged accordingly.

Just get over it.

@ ZgSash,

I sincerely hope you actually bother to find and answer my question amidst this endless sea of useless filler posts.
