fallacies, if my memory serves me correctly, you once attempted to inform me of the existence of consequences for interaction over the internet. About how you could hurt people with words and actions, even if you aren't anywhere near them. You have proven it rather spectacularly. You sought out and pestered people who voted for someone you didn't like to change their votes. The reason you dislike this person is apparently so petty and embarrassing you are unwilling to even say what it is, or so insignificant to you that you forgot what it was.
Since Wata is in your corner, you will most likely not suffer or be reprimanded in anyway for this, and this is horrible.
But I will simply have to live with the fact you decided you had the right to decide who got to be Moderator of the forum and who didn't, you and only you. And were proven right. Completely. To the point it can't even be questioned. After all, the Admin agrees with you.
What I thought when I first saw you posting 5 years ago, arguing with Lord Raine, was true, you truly are an utterly
petty thing, and I will now treat you as such.
Jakkun, I only tangentially knew who you even were before you posted in this thread. I knew somewhere in my mind there was a member of TFF named Jakkun, and recognized you when I saw you, but we travel such different circles we've never really spoken.
I am now glad for that. Because the way you have been acting is without words. Or at least, without words that wouldn't get me temp banned, which is odd, since the rules we voted for say I can curse at anyone I want all day and all night. But I guess that doesn't matter either. Do you even know what an election is? Are you a child? Does the concept of a fair election where there are people who aren't you escape you that completely? That people who aren't you make different choices from you and have different opinions then you?
You actually asked if everyone could vote for someone else so you could vote for the someone who was not two specific people and win. Let me explain something that you seemingly do not understand. In an election, the only people who get to ask voters to change their votes or vote for a specific person? Are the candidates. You were not a candidate. You never were a candidate, and if you had been you wouldn't have gotten any actual votes anyway, because no one would have voted for someone so incapable of understanding the fact that other people exist and have thoughts that are different from yours.
Winning is not the point of an election. It is to give everyone equal say in what's going on or who does what. What goes against that point is whining incessantly at people over IRC to change their votes. What goes against that point is asking the administrator to remove the people who were winning from the pole because you didn't like that they were winning, at the very least, you did not get your way that time, it must have been devastating, considering your mindset.
Zephyrus, I understand not liking Vexarian, you've done that for years to my knowledge, this isn't new, I expected it. Vexarian has already given his opinion on you. But what did Ryuugi do? You yourself have said you don't even now who he is. Was it respecting Vexarian as an opponent in the elections? Was it telling three of his fans with accounts here that there was a vote going on? Because if you want to be fair, that wasn't even his idea.
It was mine. Not the asking people from DLP part admittedly, but I suggested that if Ryuugi cared at all about winning he take advantage of the fact that he is a very prolific writer with many stories that have many readers. Now that he's gotten his belated update spree started, I now think he was talking to the people from DLP because he was working on a snippet for his Harry Potter Fic, and just mentioned it to the ones he knew had accounts since he was already there.
In fact. All of Ryuugi's campaign decisions were an idea I suggested, the offer to fix the broken story posts? My suggestion. The realization that the posts could be fixed using the edit trick? Mine. His nomination? From me (I also seconded Tk's I believe). Him confirming it? I told him about the rules confusion after Shiro cleared it up and told him to go accept it.
Ryuugi hardly cares if he becomes mod or not, honestly I don't know why he went along with all of that. The only reason I even did it was because when I asked him he expressed mild interest. The only time he even tried to do anything before he started getting cheated was when Vexarian challenged him and he made the perfectly acceptable move that resulted in everyone flipping out for no reason. Ironically, that simple move is probably what lost him the election.
Ryuugi? Sorry man, my bad, I should have sucked less at this Campaign Manager thing.
I'm going to do the best I can to abstain from communicating with any of the petty spiteful bastard's responsible for this rape of democracy.
