A Climactic Encounter Ending on 1 Negate and a Dream
Fluffydaddy's biggest claim to fame was telling a person talking about their sexual assault story that "No one cares" and then admitting he didn't actually read the post before responding.

Somehow that brain genius was made an admin.

TGRS/TMR went from a sort of active forum to...currently 4 active users looking at it and only 300 new posts in the most active thread since I stopped reading it over a year ago.

They also oversaw QCS going from the Corporate Help Desk mode to the FYAD-lite where the same 4 people respond to every thread going "I don't care about this so it's not an issue."

They suck rear end. They've always sucked rear end. The fact that they were made an admin is...it's at least Jeffry keeping in SA tradition of putting the dumbest posters in power.

I appreciate the irony but I've never thought that the hostility we should have for politicians should extend to fellow goons. You may disagree and there are certainly exceptions but I feel pretty strongly about making C-SPAM a welcoming place. Sure, some people need to be told to gently caress off or have their taint ran, but at the end of the day i don't think you should be thinking of anyone here as your real life enemy when it is just posting.

When a thread has been constantly complaining about mods doing absolutely nothing about their complaints of people coming in specifically to troll and start poo poo, don't expect anyone to care what the mods have to say when the criticism finally falls on them :shrug:

Y'all ignored the thread until it was too personally inconvenient for you to ignore, and that's a fact.

The d&d poo poo talking was often not fun or funny to an outside observer. It was very obvious to anyone outside of the succ zone that you weren't just kidding around and making fun of some goons. There was some real, genuine hostility and meanness that had been allowed to fester based on old interforum grudges that elsewhere had passed into "high school rivalry" territory.

he mostly "nuked" it by insta-probing/banning anyone who ever questioned him and generally acting like a petty tyrant

whether you not you think that's justified you gotta admit he was probably the most perfectly wrong person to be admin after a major Forums Scandal painting the staff as out-of-touch authoritarian weirdos

e: deltarune barney was funny because they were bitter and angry over slights they made up in their own head. their obsession with being a victim wasn't cspam or fyad's fault.

again - i respect and like you, flav. and i am not going to delve too deeply into my own personal hangups. but ms. reade's trauma is one i personally relate to as it happened to me, and that is as far as i am comfortable to divulge, because i've SEEN the pieces of poo poo in dnd acting like workplace assault is either the victim's fault or an all-out lie they have decided to randomly employ despite being fully aware that absolute subhumans will use to make the victim sound like some hussy trying to make a quick buck or get fifteen minutes of fame.

but ms. reade recieved no money, no fame, no sympathy. she is a laughingstock. insane bitch rear end in a top hat fuckers literally analyze her tweets to see if she "sounds russian". they comb through her credit history. hey, my credit score sucks rear end too--but all that means is that i'm poor. my finances have nothing to do with what my former boss did to me.

we should be allowed to call them monsters for this. if you disagree, then you disagree. but i reserve my right to bitch about the heartless, bloodless, soulless monsters who think "a little rape is okay as long as i get to go back to brunch."

again - i like flav and i think they agree with my take here. twoday is also good. but there is a definite disconnect between them and admins like this fluff daddy dude who seems to think we should just shut the gently caress up about the biden administration, despite the fact that he has credible rape accusations levied against him. and hell, even without ms. reade, he still has coons' granddaughter, or, even worse, all his female secret service agents who biden forces to watch him swim naked.

okay sorry i'll go back to being silly, but i needed this off my chest
