I personally do not feel that this thread needs to be deleted, I think its better to have an open and honest discussion then just try to sweep our uglies under a mat.
I will say however, that in any discussion there will obviously be people who do not see eye to eye. Rather than slam these people for not looking at things the way you do, it would be best to try to present your opinion in such a matter that the people you are discussing with can come to understand your point of view. People don't need to always agree, but if you can come to a mutual understanding then you've had some success.
I am glad that Binabik is choosing to get involved with the community - and I hope that he continues. He made a post based on what he saw, what else could he do? Please don't discourage our new members from joining in on discussions. If they don't know something, then tell them -- don't just dismiss them for not knowing.
I am also glad to see that people have been freely expressing themselves, I think its a lot healthier than bottling things up and whispering in corners.
I am just hoping not to see an all out flame war erupt here, don't draw a line in the sand and start throwing rocks at the people opposite you, okay?
If you want a war, check out the Minks Jolly Good Adventure, I hear that the Minks and Fruitmonsters really have issues

In general, very few things on a forum upset people as much as deletion of questionable thread. It's easy to think of deletion as a solution, but unless the problem is somehow magically solved during that deletion, it usually just makes it worse. But I dunno, maybe it's different now.

Quote: Deleting this thread would be moderator abuse because I see no rule violations here.....Also, there seems to be a hasty leap to deletion. Isn't it true that most threads get sent to the Wastelands first for deletion? Why is there no talk of that?
Well ya see Concis, the thread originally started out in the Other Side.
Which I don't moderate.
But the it got moved to Tavern.
Which I DO moderate.
So if it had stayed in the Other Side everyone could have bashed Kitten all they want, and you could have played peacemaker to your heart's content.
But it didn't.
Bottom line.
I would be well within my rights to hit the delete button. I'd have been well within my rights to do it lots of times.
But usually I DO ask people's opinions first, because this is Heroes Conmmunity.
However, my first post sets out that this thread is bad for the Community feeling.
Especially a Tavern feeling, which should be a bit more fun that this.

It seems you stand alone with Sox Asmo because Pan dont agree with you & shes a mod in here too.
Your also sort of new here, why dont you leave us alone since there is no rules broken.
Why dont you let Pandora take care of this thread & butt out if you are not going to be cool about it.
We know stuff that you dont even know so I would think it best if you let Pandora take care if this individual thread.
Or better yet you just take care of the nice jolly threads & let Pandora deal with the rest since it seems you cant handle this type of truth except if it's jolly.
Stiven you & many dont really know but partial of the truth except a few.
I wont say it because Even after what I went through I know she is who she is because her only friends are online 7 even I dont want to hurt that believe it or not because if i told yalls what really happened, I think the 90% disrespect would sky rocket to 1000%

I will say again in kind of a defense to Amanda that I took her & David to hospital because she was really sick & her having triple the heart beats everytime she stood & Deheydration is FACT.
Now her heart not beating I think is total BS.
Maybe she went to hospital again with my money after I kicked them out.
I believe she had to go to the hospital & shes imagining quite a bit of fantasy for somethang that is a semi minor reality.
She knows what to do I tried to get her to do those thangs but she dont listen like with the caffine Coffee & Diet Soda.
She drinks it like you would drink water after a full Sports game a DAY.
Stressing on BS when you shouldnt be.
On sort of a defense because i was there day before I booted them to take them to hospital only to sit on my butt for 3-4 hrs while she took David to look after her!!!.
I also believe that she created alot of drama so she can stay with me but I seen it.
Everyone seen it.
I should of listened to everyone but all I wanted to do was help her so she can change into a better person.
I loved her that much to give myself & spend all my savings & apartment that she can decorate anyway she wanted for her.
Everythang she wanted I did for her.
I dont even hate her, I feel sorry for her because I seen how David treats her & he cares about her but hes not a very nice guy to her regardless of what she says.
Like she cant live without being put down & messed with.
Whatever your life & have a nice life.

After consulting with Pan I've decided to put this thread in the wastelands where it will hopefully die off quickly, and to avoid any more accusations of me misusing Mod powers, and to stop a bunch of anti-censorship threads appearing.

As i see it . we do not bash people we simple point out the in;s and out ;s and the wrongs and rights of a person .
I have not bashed her i simply pointed out the facts and so has many other players here that have known kitten for many years , and if we wanted to bash her we would do that to her face to face when she is on line and not behind her back .
also seeing as the tavern is a place in the olden days for people to come and disguse there views and have a jug of ale then this tavern is a place also for that porpose hence the name tavern .
I also can see your point of view and apprecate your views on it but people post here to voice there opinions and i dont think thay should go unread .

This thread sure reeks of negativity.
I don't usually post in threads outside of the Glade that require actual thought to respond to, but I've watched this thread grow quietly for as long as it has been open, and I thought I should speak of my distaste for it. I've a case to make for the deletion of this thread if there is anyone left who will hear me.
I know no one wishes this to turn into a flame war, but there are people outside of this ring of hatred that are sensitive to these sort of things, see Consis, even though they may not know the travesties that this thread's victim has wrought upon you oppressed people. A thread should, IMO, allow all points of view to be expressed freely, but when someone comes in and expresses an objection to this whole topic, they are bombarded with accusations that they are either too ignorant or too unknowledgable on the subject to be of any use to the discussion. Refuting Consis won't change his mind, so try and take his thoughts to heart and take a step back to look at what you are doing instead of trying to stay on your high horses. So what if Kitten's done irreputable things in the past, does that give you the right to criticize and harass her? I think not, though you all obviously do.
And now we will see the accusations that I, too, am ignorant and of no use to this topic. But, honestly, what is the point of this thread? It has been expressed that this thread should not turn into a flame war, but how much better has this thread done so far? Directing flames at one person doesn't accomplish much, in my opinion. If you guys want to vent, go start a hate chatroom somewhere else to appease your need for the derision of others. Having this flame massacre out in the open doesn't do much except for drawing in the people you see as unknowledgable and unfit for this flaming ceremony of sorts and spreading negativity throughout this community. Just because the worst side of you exists doesn't mean you need to show it off.
Someone will probably refute my post to defend their position of supreme knowledge and insight on this subject, but just know that I refuse to post in this topic again. If this thread is allowed to carry on, I suggest all of the people deemed unworthy of this conversation do the same. Doing otherwise will only fan these flames.

Thankyou Shadowcaster
Even if this thread is deleted, even if your post doesn't sport the brilliance of a scarlet sparkling twinkle, you have been nothing short of sincere and heartfelt. I thank you for your honesty and openness. Your post is of great quality to me even if this thread never sees the light of day again. I simply thank you for your kindness. And it is good to once again read your skilled craftsmanship in the art of writing. I've missed it. It's been a pleasure.
Edit: Apparently you were awarded a well-deserved qp shortly after you posted. Job well done my friend, job well done....

OMG, What have I missed? I really need to go to the zone, I can tell. I'm not even going to respond to most of this because well I'm a mod and I couldn't really be very nice. Besides, others have done such a good job. As one that has long stood in the "Screwed" line, don't delete this because it is SO ON THE MARK
