Jcarter's vision of this forum differs significantly from my own.
I envisioned it as somewhat of a Freeport where we could discuss any aspect of the game we wanted without fear of moderation or retribution.
Like someone else said ... putting up with Qwerty is the price of the open mic.

That's effectively what it is.
You have a habit, of dying on the wrong hills, Shakes. This is one of those hills.

You're right. Astute observation for someone who doesn't know me that well. But you're right.

I always thought that having qwerty around as a sadsack Alan Colmes type figure, always ended up making whatever point he was against, actually look better in the end. And when things got too heated, we could always unify around telling him to eat shit.

Not saying he has a condition, but when you have someone with a serious medical (mental) situation in your close network, you start having different opinions. I have a bipolar and delusional cousin who does everything in a subtle and intelligent way to draw attention and manipulate others. The funny part is when people engage in an interaction with him, they are immediately drawn to his trap, and I m just watching with a smirk because such people in similar medical conditions simply cannot be reasoned with, they don t listen to you. And frankly, not because of their bad intensions but because of their mental situation.

If qwerty wants to continue his crusade of justice and honor, he can always make a new account, and it will always be obvious it's him because he'll use the same tactics and writing style. Eventually he'll slip and say "okey", or call everyone here a "goblin", or he'll start a post with "Snicker. Snicker.", and we'll know qwerty killed his handlers and broke out of the zoo.

Might have been better to force his sig to be that image of his PM, as his own disclaimer to everything he posted. I did get a lot of laughs out of his posts and the replies.
It's probably a favor to him. Give him some time to reflect and maybe get some help. His obsession with this place was truly odd.

I always knew qwerty was a shill. But with these recent propositions and somewhat serious discussions, recollections of past grievances, he clearly went into overdrive. I expect that the utility of a troll's "silence" will give more potential gain than the evidence of his bad-faith arguments; and if you're longing for his input, you can keep him company in his own VIP subforum.

As someone that ran a say anything forum in the spirit of this board (Optional Realities) even when had rules about spamming/derailing. You can be 4chan and have no rules (in sections) or you can be a discussion board. jcarter picked a discussion board and the line is... Don't come here and literally tell someone your evil master plan who then posts it. I mean I think this is a pretty easy line for people not to cross, Qwerty ALMOST got away with it but those damn kids.
