your abrasive and brash comments on thigns have resulted in people getting upset.
What, such as saying 'Actually, no this isn't a great debate, it's just a debate, and you aren't even spelling paedophilia right?'
Sorry, but, well, it wasn't. I mean, gold stars to everyone for taking part, but it was rubbish, and I've literally heard better on the back of the bus.
What actual good does it do to have useless 'debates' that don't go anywhere? None. Unless you all just want to feel good for 'having an opinion' and taking part and stuff. Which is
lovely, but doesn't engender decent debate.
Moreover, I expressed my opinion, which differs from yours. Don't like? Then, in the words of your bezzie mates: there's the door!
Can you not see that if you walk up to some people having a discussion and effectively call them all a bunch of ignorant idiots who don't even understand the meaning of words, and that you and ONLY you have the answers that they are looking for, so why don't they just listen to you instead... they might get offended by that?

Any persecution you feel you are suffering (there is none visible on the boards)
Yes, there is plenty. But crying and saying 'And they said thiiiiis and *sniff* thiiiiiis and *cry* this and thiiiis' does no good, and only demeans myself. Unless I point it out at the time (but then, of course, I'm being paranoid).
Send me a PM about it, we'll chat on it.
The only thing I've seen that could be deemed as persecution is Myoptika's poem in the poem thread, which was, as far as I can see, uncalled for.
Where else is it? You can't mean the Pedalo thread, since if you come in to a thread and act as patronisingly and superior as you did, you can rightly expect people to take affront. If it's via PMs, then boo to the people sending them, and I'm sorry that they do.

stems from some people getting annoyed with how reactionary you've been lately (see Dimrill for an example).
Annoyed? Reactionary? Dimrill? What, you mean, when I explained that it's a good thing I'm not reactionary and that I don't just buckle under the pressure of several unanimous voices, or by those measures we wouldn't have had Dimrill join here? Erm.
Unless, you mean that I was being reactionary in my post originally. Which, I wasn't. I was actually doing what others do, where they post a polite request for something. Except, they have CUDDLY avatars, and use LOTS of smilies EVERY fucking post they make. Personally, I thought the mob mentality displayed toward me was very reactionary, but I entirely doubt that you would ever see that.
The thing is, if you do things politely you get a far better response than doing them either patronisingly or aggressively, like you sometimes do, like calling people retarded for having one too many threads on the Mafia game. If you had said re: the Glastonbury comparison that you would have complained/pointed it out too, hackles would not have been raised. Instead you said it was retarded, which is emotional language designed to provoke a negative response.
By reactionary, I mean that you have been overreacting to things and seeing what you want to see, so you can pick at it. Yesterday you got upset at a perceived slight from me that you found aggressive... when the entire post you quote was paying Grim... a compliment!
Creating meaningless threads to 'prove a point' just annoys people. It gets your point across, sure, but it also makes people think you're being childish. So then if they treat you as being such later in the day, can you really blame them?

We get that you don't want Mafia game threads everywhere, but it's settled down to only two threads, which you can agree is acceptable, but still feel the need to make up stories that there are four, when there aren't four at all!
It's "settled" after I said "There are too many, please reduce the number". Ergo, I was right. Why, you may recall, that Grim... set 2pm yesterday as a 'cooling off' time, though it was basically settled after that. Until, y'know, it was time for a bit of late-night persecution. Which those eyes of yours probably won't be able to read, alas.
Ends don't always justify means. One topic rambled from being about the game to being about poetry. That's all that happened. It wasn't the result of a great crusade... it's just people 'yammering' away on the internet.

Except, don't let those facts change anything. No, you just run on *pats cheek, offers you a Werthers*
You see? When someone tries to engage with you, it is made very hard by you trying to act like everyone in the world is always wrong if they have a slight difference of opinion with you, and must be treated like a child. Even when you're proved wrong factually, those weren't the important facts, the important facts were that you were the guiding light, the forum saviour, the policeman to make sure everything is fine.
There really, really isn't a conspiracy against you. Sadly, I don't think any amount of proof would dissuade you, as you've lond since made up your mind.
