Quote from: Bill White;414813I think Levi is trying to say he's sorry; maybe give him a break? You might get him to rethink other positions he's taken.

Welcome Bill, by the way.

I think Levi is dissembling because he was caught engaging in the same behavior that he has condemned. Prior to getting found out, it appeared that he couldn't give two shits about what theRPGSite was about. Now he is claiming to have misjudged an entire forum that he has been a part of for years?

Quote from: Levi Kornelsen;414838My concern, really, is with just how off my judgement of the site has been or become. Discovering you may be on the back lawn when you thought you were in the arena, and told others "that's the arena; it will make you mean and cruel"? Not so funny.

OK. We might be on to some progress here.

Yeah, what he said.

To be fair, he also accused a poster named Topher of basically posting too much to Trouble Tickets at RPGnet, when really, he doesn't. I do, but he doesn't.

Levi suffers from the condition known as, "trying to fit in wherever they go." It inevitably ends in this kind of breakdown sooner or later.

Topher is a scumbag, regardless of the part of RPGnet he posts on.

LOL maybe. I shouldn't have written that. He's not here to defend himself.

:confused:

Of course. That's not a condition; that's dead normal. Almost everyone reorients their actions to the environment, and to those around them. Being unwilling to bend certain ways is usual; being unable to do so, or overly rigid, is a sign of being unwell.

Unless you mean something rather different.

Bingo. I'm afraid my friend Pierce Inverarity had him pegged long ago.

C'mon.

A) RPGnet - I'm a reasonable dude!

B) Storygames - Yeah, the RPGsite is rank!

C) RPGsite - Ooh, a wanna see a fight!

If A is true, you wouldn't be stirring up trouble between B and C.

If B is true, you wouldn't mention C here unless you're the kind of rubber-necker that you decry at A.

C, well that's kind of a rule of nature.

I condemn it's presence on RPGnet; it doesn't belong there.

This distinction really doesn't matter to you?

Nice strawman argument. Though your premise that people react to their environments is absolutely true, it is not an either/or choice, but a matter of degrees. Between the person who is so unwilling to compromise anything as to be unfit of what most individuals would consider normal social interactions and the social whore who has no personality of his or her own, there is a world of excluded middle.

If A is true, you wouldn't be stirring up trouble between B and C.

A) RPGnet: I'm here to be reasonable, and engage in reasoned stuff.

People keep claiming for me that I'm reasonable and nice, as if I have only one mood. I think that's complimentary, but it is a pretty one-dimensional slice. I try to be reasonable while I'm there; that's how the site is oriented.

You view the distinction as a boundary for your own situational behavior while I view the distinction as a thin justification for a lack of integrity on your part.
