Quote:Don't be obtuse, and don't involve me in political manoeuvrings between warring factions in which I have no interest.
I'm not involving you in anything at all. You entered the conversation and I engaged with you. How is that some sort of Machiavellian intrigue?
Quote:You have avoided the question.
What question?
Quote:You ask why there is a declining participation in forums such as these, this one in particular, yet you happily tolerate multiple nicks and alternate character ID's. Choose your battleground and stake a claim.
I don't tolerate it at all, other than having to suck it up. I am in no position to practically do anything one way or the other. I am not a GMod.
Quote:State your claims. Put forward a list of your ambitions. What do you want? Where's your list?
I have zero ambition. I am content with what I have but I will always to defend myself from the barbs which come from others of PA origin. I am not a Member there, having been banned.
Quote:The very reason similar forums have closed is because of the migration of pests, trolls, whatever, to other forums where they continue their trolling against age-old enemies from bygone years.
You already know this.
Yeas I do. Hence my positive and sincerely meant encouragement that PA break away from the teat of OzPol and FD. If that happens, hopefully, they will be content having their very own playground where they can do what they like and it does not reflect back here. I do not want to see it ever close down, as I have said many times. I am urging them to pay their own way, be totally independant and self reliant.
Quote:If moderation was more about balance, adjudication and fair dealing, this comment would be unnecessary.
Mr Hicks needs help. He is carrying the burden almost alone.
