Crying Game, Part II Options

[Robert]

Even more interesting than the original "Crying Game" topic mysteriously going missing, is a 2nd topic started last night by Hellfighter ( another MOB member ) to continue the discussion has also now been deleted, made invisible or otherwise removed from public view.


When I saw HF's new "Crying game" topic last night I almost replied to it. Then I thought to myself, what's the point, it would get deleted too.
So on a brighter note, I consider this as final irrefutable proof that I'm smarter than Hellfighter.
I was smart enough to not waste my time replying to a topic that an "admin" was going to delete
Even better is the giggles I get from how even MOB members are not allowed to post what they want on MOB's forum.
I have to wonder if the admin who deleted/removed these topics at least had the common courtesy to tell the MOB members who started them why they were removed.
Undoubtedly it would be in their best interest if they wouldn't bother asking why their post were deleted/removed.
They should just run along like good kids and let the people in charge make these hard and important decisions about what's acceptable on a gaming forum. Otherwise you may find yourself in time out.
LOL

Without a doubt the funniest thing is, a post about a Hillary Clinton signature perfume ( available in a bait shop near you )
that references her naughty place and the smell of dead rotting fish is acceptable.
While an adult, civil, intelligent and thought provoking debate gets deleted.

I was going to post this as a reply in the Gun Control, then decided I would hate to see that topic mysteriously go bye/bye too.
So I though it best if this post was all by itself, just in case.
Since I give this a 1/10 chance of not being removed with the new….

BTW I plan on voting for what's her name.
You know, that one lady.
Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriends wife.

I agree with this wisest of wise persons. no- really [ ]
Seriously though-
A 'why' would be good from an admin- that was after all a decently provocative hot thread with lots of life left in it.

I was thinking censorship too at first -but I've a feeling there's another side to this coin -perhaps though maybe 'well-intended' was with still-over reacted intent.

......... a 2nd topic started last night by Hellfighter ( another MOB member ) to continue the discussion has also now been deleted, made invisible or otherwise removed from public view.

Option 3.... it's out of public view-> moved into a mobs forum.

I can only see the original thread to have been deleted 'accidentally' or without malice intended since it was a fairly tame 'lively' thread.

I'm just overly curious about this more than anything. Anything Machiovelean around here troubles me not [my debts and drab real life issues keeps me preoccupied ]
So whoevers doing what, intentional or not, may really want to clear the air at this point with a word or two.

[Barkmann]

wow! no one is smarter then HF

[UNDEAD 1]

honestly though,did someone delete the post? i dont see the logic in deleting a perfectly civil discussion but if by accident ,i understand ,it happens.i for one am always glad to see a robert post,although not liking my saturday night live hillary joke.why are we argueing over this , can we put the post back up .

[Robert]

I like how you put it.

Druid, aka Robert, why don't you tell the good people here the truth?

Did you think that was some big bust, you just outed me?
Sorry to break it to you but I assumed most people with any common sense already knew who I was.
In the future you may want to keep in mind that people who try and hide who they are don't typically use their own name.
You know, as in Robert, my real name.

You own these forums, and the mobclan.com domain. It was passed down to you when you became admin, but when you left, over a year ago, you kept it all and use it for, as you put it, your own amusement.

Sorry to break it to you and the 3 people who previously complained about it
I don't owe you or anyone one else in MOB a thing.
If you don't understand why, them simply read the signature attached to my 3400+ post I made over the 5 years I supported this clan to the best of my ability.
What did I get for that? nothing but lip service from a group of people who were unwilling to speak in my defense.
Not that I really care anymore, I'm only answering what you brought up.
If all my time and effort wasn't rewarded, then at least I would continue to get laughs from the place.
That an it was just proven to me that I couldn't trust anyone enough to turn things over to them as they would likely find a way to screw it up.

Why don't you tell everyone how you can read and manipulate these forums anyway you want to, and do so when it suits your fancy.
I could go on and on, I won't even get into the issues on the server box, where all of our games are located. Yes, I know, you can continue to cause trouble there too.
So, go ahead, continue to stir up trouble here, trying to egg clan members into fighting amongst themselves, your most cherished of all entertainments.

Please explain to everyone how I've manipulated the forums to my fancy.
I'm sitting here wondering if you are trying to imply I deleted those topics?
Do you not believe in what you did enough to take credit for it?
Do you not think other MOB have the right to post what they want or ask why it was deleted?
Don't you try to pass your mistakes and poor decisions onto me.
Or are you talking about those 3 rare occasions when I emailed the "admins" to speak up in defense of people who couldn't really defend themselves
1) A kid who broke no rules and did nothing wrong but still got dragged thru the mud and temporarily kicked out of the regs?
2) A few people being harassed because suddenly a girl in a bathing suit was considered porn and to vulgar for MOB's forum?
3) I spoke up against someone becoming MOB who had a history of abusing their powerpoints and harassing people on the server?
Is that what you're talking about.
If so, then you're and idiot as I never said boo in public, I handled it privately via email to 3 people.
As for the server box.
I told Mike to remove my account over a year ago.
How pathetic is it you're imply I hacked the server box.
You know kind of like how you implied Goose hacked the server control page and was crashing the servers back when he was banned.
When Goose denied doing it, I went on the box with the intention of gathering proof to confront Goose and BsS and fix it so it couldn't be done again.
I was dumb enough to think you would know what you were talking about before making an accusation like that.
Of course it turned out Goose had even used the server control page while in MOB much less use it to crash the servers after he left.
Didn't stop you from blaming him though did it?

Yep I was really manipulating the forum,
7 Post in 3 topics.
Gun control, old war movies and politics.
You're right steel, I should be tarred and feathered. I'm such an ass.
LOL
I love debates,
I just hope you can bring more to this one then lies, unfounded accusations and your attitude.

[The-Blind-Norwegian]

WOW!!

And that is all I am going to say about that!

[Hellfighter]

...
i for one am always glad to see a robert post,
why are we argueing over this ,
can we put the post back up .

All of the above .... I'm inclined to think an 'accident' happened too originally, OR lets hope not -a far reaching hand from somewhere we know not at play.

ps.Barkmann is a very wise man.

So anyway.... if it's not back up let's officially restart that original thread in HERE.....

-> thoughts on the Clintons 2 pronged attack? Very effective.

In my opinion, no thread should have been deleted or moved. We have very rarely deleted threads and in those cases it was troll threads. Of course my memory could be off as try to stay out of here as much as possible and game. I do scroll through threads if something catches my eye. I do have one question for Robert though, when have you ever needed someone to defend you on the forums? I used to get extremely irritated when you would be going at it with someone and some other person would chime in.

[Rommel]

I like how you put it.

I love debates, I KNOW

Druid/ Robert . If i recollect you left the {MOB} clan, and you erase your account. Why are you back come along! continue to be a stranger. What are your intention.

[Hellfighter]

I hope we start getting back into the real intriguing play-for power being utilized by the Clintons lately-and Edwards turning out to be what could be a King/Queen maker role-> or do we need to start Crying Game thread #4 .....

Let's keep in mind what's happening as fact in this 'incident' here. Above-at the top of this thread I think only some of you are aware that post#3 was not my post yesterday. It was post#4 up until 2pm. Steel had a lengthy post [30 or so lines long regarding Robert] which was actually #3, which some of you may have concluded existed judging by quote snippets of it you saw in posts thereafter.

Keep in mind I'm not taking up anyone's side directly here but just looking at things from an overview perspective.
Steel's post#3 disappeared for unknown reasons just before Steel made the startling announcement of resignation.
I'm just giving my thoughts here but some 'original' finger pointing at Robert as being involved in the original Crying Game thread's removal [and movement of my 'tribute' thread into Mob/Regs area] doesn't make sense. Why would Robert remove the original post#3 that he would subsequently lengthily refer to in defending against it.
So in my mind is whoever else that removed post#3 from here related to shifting removal of the other related threads?
I won't even bother guessing and I wouldn't do it in this Public area neither. But I'm just saying those of you looking at this thread until after 3pm yesterday aren't seeing the entire picture so I think let's cut some slack and get back into the thread topic - since the only way the truth of this whole matter will only come by way of that person admitting being the architect of it all.... accusatory speculation is perhaps leading us into a path we need not go down.

Steel deleted the original thread and moved the second thread to the regs section.

[Hellfighter]

Edited my last post... had the post#'s wrong by 1 number.
