This is so sad!

After being beaten and battered by prequel hate, I promise not to be that to the next generation.

My only interaction with you has been to agree that (yeah, most) conservatives are not very good. But here I am anyway. Sad to see you go Spuffy, but goodbye and all the best.

I haven’t been in this thread in a while. Jason, if you’re reading, thanks for everything. Yours has been a screen name familiar to me for a very long time.

Godspeed, Rebel.

Re Fated-Dualist leaving - https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Random-Thoughts/id/11047/page/787 which I’ve only just seen, oojason leaving before that, and now me too.

I know oojason from the old days on here, and also on another nonSW site. We got talking on there and he persuaded me to come back to this place after a long time away. To take a look around, give him some feedback and ideas for improvements or for content not previously covered. To help point new members in the ‘right direction’ to threads and such (I think he asked other people too, including Fated-Dualist). And we were happy to help, to become active members on here again, and of course also post on Star Wars and hang out on here.

When Jason left and the reasons why, we were a little unnerved, but have continued on here, and even finished up some of his incomplete projects and ideas (with his permission and notes).

Yet what has gone on here is deeply troubling; seeing former members (or people who don’t post much anymore - and I don’t just mean this latest incident with Handman) come back and snipe, make accusations, and kick off at others or try to take a ‘high ground’. It appears some are more interested in point scoring or set on continuing this whole thing on and on. As Fated has said the past, contructing a narrative where they have done nothing wrong, though carry on sniping to throw shade or shit at others who are adjudged to have wronged them, at ‘the other side’ or ‘enemy’.

The hostilitiy, anger and accusations is disturbing, and given what happened to oojason - or to people speaking up for him, the mods, Jay, or the site, and this is also not for me. I don’t want to be associated with that in any way, or be on the end of what Jason has faced. So like Fated-Dualist, it is a good bye from me.
 

In the wider picture I hope the people taking shots at this forum, and also pop up here when there is drama to fuel, realise it is not going to achieve anything apart from fostering more hate and anger in an environment (not here) where someone seeing all this would take things too far, way way too far (such as along the lines of what happened to Jason). All this wasted energy and effort on being negative and hateful, instead of contributing something positive or working towards reconciling any issues. Or even just ignoring each other if need be. Maybe in time people will realise that, take a step back, have a look at themselves, and what the end game will be if it continues. I hope so, for everyone on here and also on the other websites where this is still an issue, where people are given platforms like this ‘to vent’ at the OT, and also pat each other on the back for telling Jay the OT founder & admin on here to go kill himself, and have ‘big problems’ with the mods here. Or continues to take veiled shots at the OT admin, accuse someone of being a sock despite knowing it cannot be who they claim it is, who shitposts all over the site, moans about the forum ‘declining’, wants ‘to make it great’ again but repeatedly makes image-only & low effort shitposts themselves. All because they they are bored, haven’t the will or courage to just leave or adapt.

A “good riddance” or pithy post, accusations, insults and anger towards me incoming, and expected. Instead of trying to actually make this forum better, or working through the issues some have elsewhere.

 

TLDR - “This bickering is pointless.”

and to also have a think about the effects on yourselves, others around you and your differing communities, should people are still striving to continue along this divisive and destructive path.
 

MTFBWY all.

Gonk, I have only been on OT a few months, but in all the interactions I had with Jason, Fated Duelist and yourself, you guys were always very nice to me. Some members need to get over themselves because immature insults and stupid disagreements are driving away some of the best people on this site.

Sad to see you go.

If you truly knew the people you were talking about, you’d see it another way. Taking random posts out of context doesn’t make your version of events any truer. I agree the bickering is pointless. The incident with Fated-Dualist was to counter his own accusations about a member who can no longer defend himself here.

I find it odd you, a new member who joined in 2020, are digging up two year old posts from another forum while Fated-Dualist accused them of stalking. Seems odd. Not to mention the linked post to Frink clearly shows he doesn’t tolerate any of the things that Fated-Dualist linked to him. This whole thing is just sad.

As for the whole ‘us’ vs. ‘the enemy’, I can’t help but recall when I received an interrogative PM from oojason when I made an innocent post about looking at the old politics thread, as so much time has passed since then and there are posts there that date back to the George W. Bush administration, demanding if I was in cahoots with Warbler, someone I don’t even talk to. It was weird.

See ya.

Did you have some kind of beef with him previously, or was that whole thing about that one specific post? Because if it was the latter, you blew that all way out of proportion, considering it was incredibly obvious he wasn’t accusing the real Frink of being a stalker. His post was referencing the recent “Frink 2” account, since he literally said “TV Frink #” with a typo missing the 2.

Hello Handman…

A few people have been in contact claiming you’ve been a bit of troublemaker on here of late; attacking other members, and writing bizarre stuff about me… I told them no, they must be mistaken - as Handman is a good lad, responsible poster, and that I found you to be thoughtful and considerate in my previous experiences with your good self.

And yet here we are, and having read your recent posts on here… it is me who is very much mistaken.

Yep… a cocktail of accusations, insults, and angry attacks with it. Not with just one, or two, but three members on here - and a bit of an unfounded dig at Dek too.

You seem to have selectively ignored the facts / content of posts are they are - and your own role in this sorry mess - as pointed out by Dek & Fated… and continued on regardless, doubling down as it were.

 

It is indeed time to put a stop to this ongoing incendiary & one-eyed shite still being peddled by some on here - which looks to retcon or open up old scars on what has actually occurred on here in the past - and that some people still just can’t let go. Why you attempted to continue this on in yet another thread - because the previous thread has been locked - is lost on me.

Handman, have a couple of weeks off from here to cool off - and also as a reminder it is not acceptable to act in the manner you have done on this site of late. When you return - should you wish to return - I hope you’ll have I hope you’ll not continue this shitstirring and attacking of other members here; people who engage in this course of action don’t last long on here, as you are aware.

If the mods want to overturn my temp-ban on you, they will (it is nice I still have mod actions - and although I don’t know why… cool). Nobody should have to put up with certain members’ ongoing and inflammatory rubbish about this subject on here anymore (including the somewhat one-eyed version of events or ‘whataboutism’ levelled at others). Nor should anyone think is acceptable to attack on fellow members on here as you have.

For anyone else interested in continuing on with the above topics… enough really is enough. Move on, do something positive with your lives, or go get laid and have a beer. If you don’t want to be civil on here, and instead want to snipe, attack or insult others, or continue years old bullshit, then go find a place which lets you do just that - this site isn’t it.

 

Re our PM conversation to which you refer to, Handman - let’s have a look at it…

^ ‘interrogative PM’, ‘demanding if I was in cahoots with Warbler’, ‘it was weird’…? Really?
 

Your claims are another example of a bizarre interpretation of events not based in reality…

Though overall a nice ‘whataboutism’ - and further attempt at continuing to shit-stir on here.

The above PM conversation as being some part of ‘us’ vs. ‘the enemy’…? No, it was a simple question. A simple answer too, and you had no problem with it. Like this conversation in your post about the subject in one of Warbler’s handful of ‘requests to bring the politics thread back’ threads (& PMs to mods about it), here. I think it was the the phrasing, terminology, or timing (or that Warb was going through a tough time - I can’t quite remember) of your request had me thinking Warbler may have asked you to ask us on his behalf etc - or you were trying to cheer him up or similar… so I just asked you about it, and you replied. That was all - nothing doing then, and nothing doing since.

 


 

I’m going back to my leaving the site - a peaceful life so far in the main, until now.

(Just an update - the person who made the malicious phonecalls has since sincerely apologised, and promised never to do contact me again. So that particular mess is over and done with now - thankfully).

However, if I’m told there are more similar bullshit claims, inflammatory posts, insults, attacks, and accusations on the whole ‘cry-arsing about 3 members being banned in 2018’ (who all got were aware of what they were doing - and asking for)… being posted on here I’ll come back and ban them too (if the mod privileges are still withstanding!).
 

To Fated, Gonk, and a few others who have helped in helping out around here of late… thank you so much. I am deeply sorry for all this - I asked you to help out around the OT, make it home, and contribute etc and got you involved with this place (for some, once again), and fully respect your decision to leave here - something which I obviously understand.

Your positive contributions here - among many others’ - will hopefully continue as a good source of information, insight, of use, or interest to members on here for a long time to come. And also for just helping out - like so many others have done, currently do, and will in the future.
 

PS. Also many thanks for the kind messages in this thread (and PMs & emails etc), everyone - they are most appreciated, thank you. "

Huh. Seems weird that a former member feels the right to ban a current member of the site. Maybe it’s just me.

Edit: oops, just re-read the whole post. Good for you that you still have your mod capabilities, oojason. More power to you. Though the banning seems a bit unnecessary given a mod had already intervened. However, I’ll say no more. It’s not my place. Apologies.

This is probably the most ridiculous thing I have read on this site. I have zero respect for these kinds of actions.

Why doesn’t a former Mod get their Mod status removed???
Why did you come back and basically rage ban Handman???

Thanks for the affirmation Dek, since oojason seems to think he is somehow doing you a favor by baning handman… (and to be clear, i am not being sarcastic, i know internet words can be hard to parse sometimes)

Is that really necessary given that he’s already had almost two weeks to cool off and this hasn’t been a problem since then? This seems a bit inflammatory to me, even if Handman was in the wrong.

JEDIT: And for someone talking about not stirring the pot, coming here a week and a half after an argument has died in order to ban someone out of the blue is a little hypocritical. You make it seem like you just wanted to get the last word in. If you’d stopped by a little earlier, it would have made a little more sense.
