I really dont know what this is about other than the fact that our hatred of midgets namely shadus is going to drive this board for several more days, and I thought I should get a good list of reasons.

I do not hate shadus. I have no qualms with him. Not as a person.
I left the boards, becuse, it was o.k. for the Amtgard guys to talk Oi! 'Ew! Pink Skin!. To belittle and demean our game, but when spoke back, suddenly the guy was offering advise, and we were being pricks. Wrong.
I left the boards, because as a mod, my voice was silenced. I am a reasonable guy, who knows right from wrong. And I belive that calling a woman a "Tramp" and a "Twat" are things that deserve attition. But no, it is not so. I was told to shut up, and it was not wrong.
And as I found out the next day, I am not the only one who thought so.
I was banned, the first time, For taking offense in words spoken to a Unit member of mine, trying to handle it the correct way, as said person was allowed to continue to insult and use harsh and vulgar language. I stood up saying it was enough, And was told I was threatning violence. Never once did I do that. I merely said If he had a problem with it, I was in the area at least once a year. I never threatend him.
I was banned for a second time, for Posting an "Incharicture" Challange to said guy. Ask Zan about this challenge. He got it once, after the Irish were Talking Crap. (In fun) That is our way of taking a bad situation and making it better. We fight, we drink, all good.
Now there was a problem with me, and I am not quite sure why. I thouight I was always fair, and always helpful. If It is not so, Fine.
But I refuse to allow my unit, My Brothers and Sisters, to be treated like crap. It is that simple. I thought we did the respectable thing by leaving. Apearently not, as it seems to have caused a problem.

Same here, I don't hate him but it wasn't cool the way he handled it. Other members on the other hand...

I left those boards because certain rules that a certain person put into place seemed not to apply to certain other members of those boards, while at the same time, applying doubly so to yet other members.
I left because insulting someone I love is okay, but the backlash is not.
I left because the unit I belong to was slighted over and over, and this is somehow okay and above the rules.
I do not like hypocracy. I don't hate Shadus, I just won't be subjected to hypocracy any longer.

I left the boards because there were offensive things said on there about one of my friends. (See busters post above) and I don't stand for that Oi! 'Ew! Pink Skin!. And everyone else seemed to end up here

That's because Mehran = teh poo. *Giggles* I left the boards because Shadus = douchebag. Actually, douchebag > Shadus. I don't hate the guy, I hate the way he acts and how he plays favorites.
I left because a good friend of mine was talked down to and demeaned. I would have left anyway, but I had to get my two cents into Harkael. We lit his butt on fire, no?

I am currently using both boards, as I still have freinds on both and in both organizations. But, I am here because I agree with the sentiments aforementioned about fairness in punishment, and equal treatment for all.

I still check the other boards due to some personal ties, however I resigned my God mod Status because, being truthful about it, I felt that Buster was done wrong. I think I really resigned as a protest to the way Buster and several others(I hope they all call me friend because I surely do them) were treated.
Shadus is a nice guy(a touch of the ADHD but thats ok) but the way he runs an online community is flawed in my opinion and if I was going to stay there it would take serious re-evaluation and change.
Basically, I love you guys!

You can't really blame Shadus for his actions... He learned to rule from one named Oberon/Paul...

Yes, but we can always learn from the mistakes of our forebearers. I know I have. *winces*

I still have an account there for the people who don't have accounts here yet. I don't mind Shadus as a person, though he is a...db...both on and off the field, and I can't deal with it much anymore. The whole thing with Harkael was just irritating because he seemed to think that he could make judgment calls about someone else, and no. Not cool. He knows nothing about me, nor who has what picture of mine, and he insulted people, several other people other than me and it's not worth dealing with it and risking my friends getting banned. In all honesty I wasn't all that angry til he started saying things that were extremely personal, I do have a bit of a weight issue with myself, and him saying things like that isn't nice...I actually had to look through my pictures to find one that I thought didn't make me look fat. Then he goes and does that and doesn't get Oi! 'Ew! Pink Skin! from the main admin...then he goes and says that Zan wasn't dedicated, and insulted Buster, Mehran, Kriggud (My goon squad as he called it, since people can't honestly be friends with me and give a Oi! 'Ew! Pink Skin! what's said about me...I have to ask people to lite him up for me...just cause I didn't exacerbate the problem I called people in to do it for me...yeah right)...the list goes on, and Shadus just backed him up on it. Not cool at all in my opinion.
Shadus just needs to learn that the rules apply to all people, not just the ones who disagree with him. *rolls eyes* I honestly left more because of Harkael than Shadus. I knew that he wasn't going to get Oi! 'Ew! Pink Skin! from the Admin of the site for what he did...but I still check up on it sometime...

You can't blame one for the actions of another; Shadus, in becoming an administrator took up the responsibility of being just and neutral in all affairs, doing what would be right for the over-all 'health', so to speak, of the boards. You can not blame another for his actions... That's like calling out Lot's wife for looking back to Sodom. She should have known better, but instead chose to disobey. She earned her fate as a pillar of salt... And thus, Shadus has earned his title as a "douche." And such of the ilk. I, in being the webmistress of Ave-Alterra.net, have to put aside all vendettas agaynst the members of our Realm when it comes to problems of my website. I made an agreement to those who depend upon me to help them with fixing whatever problems they have, and that was to help them out no matter what, even if they're nasty to me - an administrator just can not be swayed by petty comments or favouritism...

if anyone here was actually around for the boards befor the midwest boffer boards you would know that i tired of shadus LONG AGO... and i was just waiting for other people to share in my opinion... and well it FINALLY happened lolz... anyway, i quit my admin status long ago and gave it up to shadus because i was sick of fighting with him and him doing my job without ever consulting me about a thing... yah just cant really win with shadus and really, whats the point? its not really worth it. im just glad someone finally decidied that they were sick of all of the Oi! 'Ew! Pink Skin! on that board too. rules only applying when they suit shadus, and shadus haveing the power to ban people and do things of the such without talking to the other mods is just bullshit in my opinion. he keeps saying that the midwest boffer boards are everyones boards and they belong to no one person or group but he seems to think that he is god and can make any decition he likes without consulting anyone and acts as if they only belong to him. like banning buster, how was there such an intence need to act in banning him without even asking the other mods for thier opinions first? he just felt that only HIS opinion mattered...

*raises hand* I.. I could hate Shadus. I hung around Hawk and a few of the people he stepped on getting his way to being able to call himself a Knight in the shallowest way possible.
I COULD hate Shadus, he just isn't worth the effort.

LOL, *shakes head* I could hate Shadus for much less than that, but eh, whatever he doesn't come close to being worth my time...not really.
