From Blacksheep

[Blacksheep]

If you read the thread you'll know that we are on topic, you asked what indigo was really and I'm using the contrast of a authority figure to highlight common indigo charecteristics.

If I'd been here long enough what? I would've seen you post more back in the day before some ONE appointed you mod rather then a democratic vote. So what, you dont now and now is what we are all responsible for. "Its not what you've done that makes you a man, but what you are doing"

Now your trying to pull your imaginary rank because you are the one cornered and powerless? These are questions, please spare me and show me mercy and answer them rather then take offense and infract me...

If you are going to pull some bs where I cant use an authoritarian to contrast and highlight the charecteristics of an indigo, then you yourself in this statement have done so your self and may I take the oportunity to thank you personaly for underlining my points throughout the thread-

If you had been here long enough to know me, you'd know that your post is some impressively paranoid BS. Lets stick with the thread topic plz, if you want to talk about mods try the member review forum.

So you get to call my contribution to the thread paranoid bull shit because the mod squad banned anyone who might back me up already and I have to be quiet because you might give me an infraction because you dont like the examples I'm using to answer the thread. That is petty.

thanks for actually contributing this thread. When I talked to you in pm you get to act like I'm powerless, but since you posted this thread out of paranoia, you've proved my point by saying I cant go on.

The above post was moved from a different thread to avoid derailing it.

Blacksheep I don't really know how to respond to you, your interpretation of things is so far out in left field from my perspective that I think anything I try to say is going to piss you off even more.

If there's more you want to say to me, please do it here or in PM, I don't want this to turn into another vendetta that takes over other threads.

LOL seriously Ian...Thank you for proving the point. Now youre using your mod status to deflect any commentary on your post. I'm contributing to the thread and using the contrast of authoritarian figures to highlight the charecteristics of indigos and you a mod pot this to prove my point. Thank you.

NO! You do not corner me in pm and pull imaginary rank where I have no option. NO! You do not start this public thread in the cafe in response to my response to you in pm, and then order me to not add to the discussion just because you do not like what it says about the label you actually believe in(mod).

What type of place is this that a guy that doesnt participate has the authority to bully people into silence?

Using the contrast of an authoritarian figure to highlight the charecteristics of an indigo should be acceptable, no? S then why do you think you are offended and tying to shut me up? Please answer seriously or appologise, don't ignore me.

You can not, in righteousness tell me not to post in this thread because I am staying on topic. I am showing you and have been explaining what an indigo is by showing you what it is not and that is the topic.

No the topic was actually because of what I asked you in pm isn't it. You didnt actually start this thread randomly did you? No, it was a passive agressive response to me saying you seemed more like a cop then an indigo right, You were hoping that the common consensus would be yours, that its just a label right. But with your participation you have helped show that its not, that a mod is a label.

If you had been here long enough to know me, you'd know that your post is some impressively paranoid BS. Lets stick with the thread topic plz, if you want to talk about mods try the member review forum.

Are you saying that if I was here over a year ago back when you actually participated as an equal in the discussions then... what? Thats my point, you don't post here at all any more, you lurk behind the scenes policing things you dont like like. An example of the type of thing you police because you don't like is that you get to say that Indigo is a label, if I say, "no, indigo is not a label, moderator is a label" you get to tell me to be quiet.

This is definitely sticking to the topic, because you asked what is "indigo really" and some times the best way to show what something is, is to show what it isn't.

One more thing to add in comment to your off ropic post, is that it is not what you've done that makes you a man, but what you are doing. What you are doing is petty IMO.

If you look for the positive you will find it, the same applies to the negative. Live in the world you want to see exist as opposed to fighting the one you don't.

Take your own advice.

The above post also moved from the same thread.

Last warning, I really don't want to moderate in a thread I started but any more of this and I will.

You have a public place to talk about this right here, what more do you want? The truth is this belongs in PM.

I guess it's a response you're after so I'll try one more time...

NO! You do not corner me in pm and pull imaginary rank where I have no option.

No one is pulling rank, and this isn't PM.

NO! You do not start this public thread in the cafe in response to my response to you in pm

The thread I started wasn't in response to you at all... although I suppose it was inspired in part by some of the recent negativity at IS, which you're a part of... but it definitely wasn't personal. Taking it that way really is a bit paranoid.

then why do you think you are offended and tying to shut me up

Shutting you up would have been deleting your post, I didn't do that.

Are you saying that if I was here over a year ago back when you actually participated as an equal in the discussions then... what? Thats my point, you don't post here at all any more

That's not actually true, I don't post a lot, but I do post, and regularly. This is the kind of thing it's hard for me to respond to, most of what you say just plain isn't true.

what's with censoring members? seriously. i read the other thread, i don't understand the problem.

[Ian]

The problem is that Blacksheep is pissed off about an infraction he got, and that belongs in PM (or here since he wants it public) not in unrelated threads.

I made a thread out of my infraction. Did you make a thread out of one you gave? Sometimes we search for absolution after making mistakes.

[Ian]

An update: After the warnings, and two moved posts, Blacksheep went back and started posting insults in the original thread. He now has 5 infractions (from more than one mod) which means an automatic 7 day ban.

If all goes well he'll cool off and be back after that.

but what for????????????? seriously??? i don't understand. this place is full of fucking thought police.

[Ian]

For posting direct insults... I understand though, you probably didn't see them before they were deleted, one example:

you petty worm

However if he'd at least had the maturity to post in this thread instead of an unrelated one, after numerous warnings, I probably would have let it go (although another mod might have ended up infracting it)

[Lady Neptune]

jesus. look out. fuck i'd hate to be called a worm. i'd totally report that shit.

?????????????????

am i the only one who thinks this is lame power tripping?

sorry Ian, but you seem like a hard bastard. if that is insulting then drop the act.

This place is like school, lol

[Lady Neptune]

This place is like school, lol

like school? i'd argue most have never left. or maybe this is the school of life man... *drifts off into strawberry fields*

[sean keyes]

On a second thought
Is it a good idea for mods to be able to participate in threads.

I know it would be a lonely job just looking,

But as lately the mods are banning left right and centre.

I've nothing against mods and do believe they should be here

However there is no equality unfortunately with that power under your belt

It's like I can fire one of my lads in my business but he can't fire me,
This as everyone know changes the way things are done.

Allowing people to grow I find is better than a slap on the wrist

Would you, do you mind, can you, please can you

You must not, you cannot, don't do that again, let this be your last time.


Words are amazing but they also carry emotions with them

[Lady Neptune]

well as most of us who have been in positions where you need to direct people, it's a difficult job, especially when your rent is on the line.
that's not the case here. no one needs this for their bread and butter. shit , if people are getting bullied or some shit, there are enough strong voices that will intercept anything that's really out of control. or at least channel the conversation down a different road. there are too many people who can't say what they want to, for fear it will get them banned, and those that do are often misunderstood. mods need to step back and let it play out. they can have an opinion but should not moderate anything that they are commenting on. that is just bad form.

id have to agree with lady on this one as on its true its not a job its a fourm

jasus id be banned long ago if we had open conversations, as i blurt out whats on my mind at times in the real world

thank god people who know me know the shit i come out with is not true but just a blurt as i call them,
on here its grand i can think it over before i type

were not all perfect and we dont seee life through others eyes,

take sam for instance, i know in my heart to heart that using the right words can let him know your serious and just move on. no need for conflict or word throwing just a few simple words, because i know the sam that comes on here

certin words will set him off and certin words will calm him down.

once you get to know people you only then can deal with them.

i dont know blacksheep and we rarely chat, however from what i see with him is
he,s passionate in living free, with this in mind he,s quest fro freedom is bound to come out in his words

does he really mean what he says, ?

[Lady Neptune]

once you get to know people you only then can deal with them.

that's absolutely right. when people aren't allowed to have an opinion, especially strong minded people, the won't let it go. generally those people have spent a life time fighting to get where they are and shedding the limitations placed on them by others, and when someone dismisses their opinion like " no no dear, just be quiet" they get furious. fuck, i do.

Wait... where are those rats going? Oh shit! Abandon ship!!!

[sean keyes]

what i find funny is
its posted on the lets be an indigo whatever

WE DONT FOLLOW THE NORM,
WE DONT LIKE RULES OR FOLLOW THEM

then they get banned for not following rules

so is irt true that they get banned for being themselves ?

its an indigo site , indigos are known for not following rules ( scratches back of head)

[SecretAgentMan]

Is it an indigo trait to be bulling and harassing people like blacksheep has done? he is just an asshole really
