So let's hope no one tries to edit this again.
"I haven't got the time to say everything I want to say, but this is the summary:
[Lyrai] Are-X
[Lyrai] Link it in here.
[Alex] No.
[Tremolo] Is this some kinda joke from a super secret op channel? Because if it is, none of us regular chatters will find it interesting or funny and I really suggest you take it out of the topic
[Alex] Oh go cry about it. As if there's never been inside jokes in the topic.
[Tremolo] Fuck you Alex
[Alex] No thanks.
[Tremolo] Seriously, you're just lording yourselves over us with this kinda crap
^ Problem.
* ChanServ sets mode: +b *!*@dm-3594.hsd1.co.comcast.net*
^ Problem-solving
[Lyrai] I AM SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE GODDAMN BICKERING. ETTIN, ARE-X, EVERYONE ELSE WHO BITCHES AT SOMEONE ELSE, CUT. IT. THE. FUCK. OUT. STOP IT. STOP IT STOP WHINING LIKE YOU'RE FUCKING 2 YEARS OLD AND SOMEONE STOLE YOUR GODDAMN BINKY RATTLE. STOP BEING HARDHEADED FUCKNUTTED ASSHOLES AND JUST GET THE HELL ALONG.
^ Denial.
That is all."
Okay, first, I'm all for banning Tremolo. I figure we should get the screamingly obvious out of the way first. Do I need reasons? Probably not. No point explaining them to her, certainly. The world inside her head is divided into Morons and people who are Not Morons, the latter being a very short list and possibly made up of fictional people.
On the topic of screaming, can certain people please stop going into yell mode as soon as drama pops up? I'm not going to name names, because only a jerk would, but then again you'd have to be some kind of Moron (whoops, I mean "person who is bad at reading into what I say and/or wasn't there") to not know I'm talking about Lyrai. Can I be bothered making fun of the irony in all that? No.
Denial is a wonderful thing, experienced by everyone every day. Tremolo denies that she has a severe attitude problem. I am constantly reminded that Tremolo never actually denied anything I said about her in my LJ. (<3) Ian probably lives in denial that he really needs to change the kind of attitude that leads to him propositioning underage girls, and Alex is probably going to deny me when I ask him to post this.
(wut? - Alex)
But then again, the kind of denial that involves putting your fingers in your ears and yelling like a patient whose doctor forgot to put in the anaesthetic before he took out the appendix because, oh shits, some drama spilled out into the channel, that's a little unnecessary. (Although it is amusing, especially when we're apparently the ones whining like we're two years old.)
The best way to solve problems, short of a study wooden plank (which doesn't work on the internet), is getting a rational dialogue going. It's not pulling a Tremolo and flipping out because your perfect imaginary world is starting to get a little frayed at the edges.
Shit happens. People can talk about said shit without pretending to be all mature and articulate and people can say things like "Has anyone ever noticed that Tremolo's time of the month is about thirty days long?" without being incoherent ramblers who should be shut up. I don't have something to prove, so I think I'll pass on the long words, impartial dialogue and patronising smiles, thanks very much."
You have operator priveleges. That doesn't mean we should have to put up with you having a borderline temper tantrum if something happens, it means you should be setting a good (that's the important word) example and showing us how to be mature without pretending to be pretentious.
Now can we please get back to the subject of permament bannings? I mean they were brought up for other people by ops for silly reasons, and now we have a good one and we have to not bring it up while people who do the internet equivalent of running around in circles sideways on the floor while hollering and flinging their favourite teddy bear about it get to talk about it in private?
No sir!
I will continue to be rational: Trem thinks that going off on the ops for stupid reasons(secret op channel means that they're lording secrets over us? Give me a fucking break. Blizzard put an officers-only guild chat mode in WoW for a reason) and shunting all of them into her Morons list is going to get her heard? Yeah, right. She doesn't even have anything to say except deluded ramblings. When she gets going she can barely form a factual sentence.
Sure, some people are still friends with - or at least tolerate - her. But that doesn't mean that the also considerable (ie, big enough to be worthy of consideration) number of people who have a problem with the harpy should be ignored.
Has anyone tried to sit her down and talk to her about it yet? This is a serious question, one which I am posing not just to Alex (who keeps interrupting me because I'm typing this into his PM window) (He's lying. - Alex) but to #megaband - or at least the portion that bothers reading this shit - in general. Seriously, sit her down and say "Hey, you want to be permabanned? No? Well TAKE SOME CHILL PILLS OR SOMETHING, GAWD!" and then hit her with a table.
These are my thoughts, and it would be neat if people could add to them.
In a rational discussion.
In #megaband.
Where 'maturity' isn't gauged by people who throw fits if they don't see enough.

Well gee, thanks a fucking lot for editing huge chunks out of what I said and changing the meaning of what's left. I appreciate it. If I knew you were going to do that I would have just posted it somewhere else where, you know, it wasn't going to get tampered with constantly.
