I always liked Curt...and I wonder exactly what happened.
I see no reason not to think it's as I described it.
Aparently there was a discussion going on about gay issues. Some cocksmock said,
oh, but "that is so gay!" isn't always insulting towards actual gays, it depends on context! So Curt replied,
So if I said your mother was a cum-guzzling whore, that'd be okay, in certain contexts?Darren MacLennan publicly rebuked Curt for a "personal attack", but edited out the "cum-guzzling whore" bit, leaving a red-text, "edited by mods." Of course lots of people had seen it by then, and quoted and referred to it. Curt was then suspended for two days, as noted
here in Trouble Tickets on 9th March.
Four days after his suspension is up, we're told by Curt that he's been fired as a mod, as you can see from his quoted text above.
I don't think there's any mystery over the affair. Curt insulted someone, they removed him as a mod but let him keep posting as a user. Curt's post about this tells us that he'd rather not post at all than post as a user not a mod. Of course, he says that he was tired of rpg.net anyway, but I would argue that since
his profile shows he had 25,177 posts in all, or 13.28 posts per day, well... that's a lot of posts for someone who hates the place. It's very reminiscent of many a scene in a workplace, "You're fired!" "Screw you, I hated this job anyway!" or end of a relationship, "I'm breaking up with you!" "Fuck you shithead, I hated you anyway!"
There really doesn't seem to be any mystery about this one.
