Oh my. You really do think that you've got it all together? What a joke. It is the other way around. And I was the one who had the temerity to disagree with them. Most members there wouldn't for just that reason.

You're the one who absolutely needs to grow up. Did you bother to go look at anything there? I don't believe that you did. There is lots worse in their archives. Just look up Drake Marsee and Rectum (that's a name).

They also used to be sister sites with a site called The Dark Sith Lords. That ended and Rive Caedo is referred to by one of TDSL's members as the 'anti-christ' in their postings.

No I haven't gotten a good reaction here from the site that doesn't want to do anything, but I have gotten positive feedback from other people who have belonged to and left Rebels for the same thing that happened to me. Several of them to be exact. It sounds to me that you love your own 'share of drama' Full Tilt Boogie. As in you're the supposed 'bad boy' that just has to set people straight. From your perspective of what straight is. What a sad little boy you are that can't understand why someone would take offense at being called Adolph Hilter.

What this thread has really shown me is that this is not a host that I want to do business with.  And for your information the members of my site are still gathered together and though I have said I felt it might be better to leave rping for awhile they want me to stay and are willing to move to a new host with me.

Oh dear, things are getting somewhat heated, aren't they?

Perhaps those folk that are getting a little heated under the collar should take a step back and think to themselves 'is this really worth it?'  Surely your time would be better spent being pleasant?

I know (as Admin stated) debates on some issues can be very emotional, though usually the person of the opposing viewpoint means no malice, they just disagree.

As far as the blog is concerned (I confess I didn't bother to read it, and never will) then I simply state the old adage of any publicity is better than no publicity, it will just draw people to MFF to 'have a look' expecting a shambles of a site, they will instead find arguably the best free forum system in the world.  So, it's all good, not that many people would ever see it anyway which is a shame.

Actually it is posted in several places and is the second most popular blog on a site with over a thousand members. I call that alright. The new portion is also on a very large site. What you don't seem to understand is that name-calling on the Internet is getting lots of attention. It is all classified now under cyber-bullying. My state has passed laws that can actually send someone to jail and so has the state beside me. It isn't just a matter of 'trivialities' anymore.  Name-calling/demeaning people is a serious matter. If someone compared me to Hitler on my job my boss would probably fire them. That is the truth.

For those who don't know what it is, I suggest you read up on Godwin's Law, which states;

[lindajean777]

Actually it was on far more than one thread in more than one topic. Very easy to be dismissive when
a. It's not you being called the names.

b. You want to diminish the issue so that you can continue to ignore it.

The issue really is a generational one. As an older person I grew up differently. My father would have had me writing a million lines of "You shall not compare anyone to Hitler."
I also have had the benefit of seeing the Holocaust exhibit and holding a book with a cover made of human skin in my hands. Perhaps I have a clearer understanding of how horrific the comparison is. The farther someone gets away in age from WWII the less they seem inclined to be affected by its horrors.

I think your Hitler comment really says it all. I don't have to say another word. So go ahead and lock the thread.

Oh for Goodness sake. I've seen disagreements of a similar degree in my children's school playground. He said/she said.

MFF takes no responsibility for how an admin chooses to run their forum unless there is a breach of the T&C. There isn't. This has already been explained to the OP, several times over. The OP doesn't like the response, and continues to whine, and issue threats of reporting it to a "higher" authority.

If an individual chooses to report such, that is a choice they make. However to then go on a blog where there is no frank exchange of views, and one sole opinion which so happens to be digging as much dirt without anything evident to the facts of the argument only goes to discredit the OP's own case and smear dirt all over herself. Any "higher authority" will see it for what it is and frankly, will fall over themselves laughing.

MFF are not here to micro manage forums. They are not here to play teacher, pulling the children apart from their fight either, nor are they here to act as an open ground for mediation between you and another forum. Lindajean, you have had the cards laid on the table. MFF are not going to shut down the forum or act on your complaint as there is no breach of the T&C. They have made their position on the matter clear, and no amount of whining, issuing threats or generally arsing around discrediting yourself is going to change that. Simple as. End of. If you don't like it, go ahead and report it and see how far it gets. Not far, I imagine.

If you are an adult then I suggest you begin to behave as such. In life, things are said which we don't like. The wonderful thing is when it is said on the internet, we have the privelege of walking away from it if we don't like it. What you construe as bullying behaviour may not be what another individual construes as bullying. Let that be an end to the matter, and again, if you don't like it, take it to your "higher authority", as it is very obviously going nowhere here, is it? Well, is it? Are you any further forward than when you began this thread? No. See it for what it is.

Actually if you look at my last post, I said go ahead and lock the thread. I haven't had any thought whatsoever for quite some time that anything would be done. Actually there are laws about cyber-bullying that are measured by legal opinion not yours or mine that set the criteria. In the realm of the law, your and my opinion mean nothing.

Actually my blog is serving its purpose and will continue to. It has already been taken to my 'higher authority.' I would like to see them review the entirety of the Rebels archives and I suggested it. Sometimes it isn't the one occurance, it is the pattern of behavior. Which they have. I am not the only poster to have had this issue there. I was however the only one old enough to know where to take it too.

[admin (no pm's please)]

You really think some "AUTHORITY" is going to spend 10 seconds wasting it's time on a little name calling within a forum  

On the scale of things your posts here probably classify more as attempted bullying than anything I have seen on rebels.

Even down to your "my Dad fought in the war"  emotional blackmail stuff    

Guess what?

My Dad fought in the war as well, he fought against tyranny and for things like freedom of speech.

Our forum owners are confident that their forums are safe from anyone with a pathetic complaint coming and threatening and stirring against them.

I don't think I mentioned my Dad fought in the war. Did I? Sometimes in America the 'squeaky wheel gets the grease." All depends on whom you contact. But enough. I will continue this with them and on my blog. I now have a new one on a UK site. "The Saga of Rebels and Reave." Should be fun. TTFN.

What I think is that Rebels never thought that anyone would retaliate. They have driven other members from there as well. But no one has taken any form of action. Whether anyone believes that taking action is right or wrong or not, is irrelevant.

They silence people by driving them out. So what is happening is called 'thus is the lesson.' They are all up in arms about the blog. That's too bad. When you silence other people with ridicule and name calling you deserved to be silenced yourself.

When I believe the lesson has been acute and lasting enough it will end and not before.

End of posts. Please deactivate my membership. I won't be needing it any longer.

[admin (no pm's please)]

You really think you can order people around don't you, lock this delete that....

tough luck.
