Member's Journal, mods won't help.

I see all the Trollheart beats(yes I just nicknamed your fanboys) have come out in full support of him.

After all this time, I still feel that he would make a bad mod but even he says so himself.

Exhibit A:

You would also be in full support of a chauvinist.

He doesn't think independently for himself
Exhibit C:

He chooses to toss around the word rape using it as a verb like it's no big deal
Exhibit D:

I could go on and on but he doesn't have the characteristics worthy of being a mod.

Actually on second thought....

How would you know, you last submitted a journal entry back in February

You seem to have a real gripe concerning Trollheart being a mod. Why don't you just come out and say you don't really like the guy instead of using these silly exhibits above. Half the exhibits you've used, are just examples of you not really understanding Trollheart's humour, which I appreciate is probably going to be different from what you're used to. Also using an example that a sensitive guy shouldn't be a mod is about as absurd as it gets. I can tell you from experience, that any good management team is a combination of different individuals, rather than everybody having the same mentality.

did you miss my post earlier in this thread about starting a smear campaign? I don't know if your politics are different across the pond but the point of smear campaigns in the states is to take quotes from people and take them out of context to make them look bad even if they are incredibly silly. That's the point!

All of my exhibits and that whole post is a complete joke. So that's fine that you don't get my humor because most people on MB don't and feel like I'm completely serious a large majority of the time.

I have already stated numerous times though that I don't want him as a mod because of certain things he says and his attitude.

Moderator cut: image removed

But you can go ahead and keep defending him like he's a stand up guy all you want. He just rubs me the wrong way with certain things he says and it's not even about his humor.

Ok seen it, but I really don't see the so-called need for a smear campaign on this thread, we're just trying to solve an issue that affects regular journal users. Trollheart has been proposed to be a 'journal mod' largely because he loves journals and we know he would approve or not approve entries very quickly.

It's not that I don't get them, but why use these exhibits on THIS thread which is a problem solving thread and not a general banter thread. Your smear campaign just represents a cover for your dislike of Trollheart.

Whether he's a mod or not, should have no real bearing on your participation on the forum. For example, if he was a mod would he restrict what you said and did on this forum?

You say you don't like his attitude, well challenge it when you see it, instead of lurking in the shadows watching and waiting.

There isn't a need for the smear campaign. It's partly in jest and besides that it is just my lonely opinion that no one really cares about and will most likely over look because he has so much approval from everyone else. There are others that may feel the same way as me but they won't come out so it doesn't matter.

The only problem imo is just that Trollheart is impatient about journal entries being approved. He feels like 24 hours is too long. The mods are people too and their lives have just been a bit busy lately but for the most part journal entries get handled in due time.

He would have the power to. He would be able to use his newfound powers for evil and delete my posts and others that he doesn't like on the drop of the time because of him being a bit sensitive at times. He might take things that people say a bit too seriously when they are meant to be in jest and just end up deleting them.

Lurking in the shadows is so much more fun though.

Now you're trying to play the victim.

Hence the need for a possible 'journal mod' and it would take the burden away from the existing mods and let them do more modish tasks.

I won't disagree that power doesn't breed evil, but I don't see him being a purveyor of this.

I guess being a sneak can be fun for some.

Trollheart · 10-21-2013, 11:12 AM

Just to let you both know, I'm not THAT sensitive! I laughed heartily when I saw the posts DJ had quoted, especially the one about believing what I was programmed to believe (Futurama, yay!) and think it was a really clever and well orchestrated beginning to a smear campaign I fully hope and expect to thrive. I might, perhaps, suggest that a new semi-joke thread might be started, maybe by me, in which DJ and others can voice their opposition to my inevitable rise to power and eventual total domination and subjugation of this forum, pathetic though their attempts to prevent my ascension to glory may be, and doomed to failure as they most assuredly are.

US, thanks for the support and you are right: there's no real call to bring all this into THIS thread, but as I say above it could be fun if placed in a thread of its own. I'd be really interested to see how my non-opponent sees me, and the lengths to which he will go to stop me. Does he own a gun? I think he owns a gun...

Also, may I just say there is far too much use of the "shycouch" icon on this forum. Sorry...

Seriously, I never know when to take you, um, seriously, DJ. I know you think the intervals in journal approvals are not that long, but in fairness you update a lot, lot less regularly than I do. Sometimes it's just the waiting that's the pain. I already mentioned and accepted that I know people have lives, but once again --- and how many times do I have to say it? --- I'm offering to take that burden off the mods and onto my shoulders.

As for your posts being deleted DJ, I'd never do that. Might ban you altogether....

Now who's joking?

Well he is an American and I also believe that DJ is ex-military as well, so fuck yer he owns a gun and probably knows how to use it too
