[TRAIN IS LIVE] Some giveaways, part 2 (lvl 3)

Nah but in all seriousness I was legit confused. Either way it's good to have you back, hope it was a voluntary break

If I'm walking down the street and see someone being abused, am I being a "white knight" when I stop to let them know their behavior is wrong? No, it's an obligation as a member of my community to do or say something and better my community. The same applies here. When you behave like an ass, it becomes the obligation of this community to point it out., in hopes that you'll adjust your behavior in the future. In more than three years, I've witnessed you repeatedly harassing people for not making enough giveaways, not allowing you to enter their giveaways, calling people bots, leeches, and "black sheeps" [sic] and even now harassing someone completely unnecessarily in their giveaway thread. You simply couldn't ignore the thread and move on.

Plus points? Is there anyone on this site that actually believes I ever do anything for "plus points?" You see, I'm in a strange (though not unique) position. My career choice puts me in a position where I deal with far worse people than the likes of you (or anyone else on this forum) five or more days a week. I've been stabbed three times, shot at more than once, spit on, called every name in the book in every language in the book -- you name it, it's been done. I get paid to deal with that (granted, it's pretty damned good pay). Do you really think what a bunch of random people on the internet think of me matters all that much? Do you really believe I care about blacklists or whitelists? Have you ever seen me ask to be whitelisted, or ask why I'm blacklisted? You haven't, because I do what I feel is right, regardless of who thinks what. People are free to decide or judge my behavior for themselves (and I fully encourage them to use their lists as they see fit). I honestly couldn't give a shit when someone insults me (it typically reflects more on who they are than who I am), and I won't be baited by childish bullshit, but I simply won't stand idly by and watch other community members be mistreated. Call it (or me) whatever you like. I really and truly couldn't give a fuck.

What it all boils down to is common human decency and respect not only for the person posting the thread, but respect for this community as a whole. And, as a member of this community, I'm obligated to step up when I see you (or anyone) posting inciteful or hateful comments. It's really that damned simple. And I believe we all have that obligation. You posted your comment to upset the OP and disrupt the thread, and that should be simply unacceptable.

Now, seeing as I've spoken with Maya in private, and she's greenlit me to re-post my original comments -

Always shitting on someone, aren't you?
Grow the fuck up.

Maya: Once again, my sincere apologies for the disturbance. Don't allow someone else's negativity to get to you, and best of luck with your giveaway thread.

Was sagt er? :-D

It only bums me out if people blacklist me and I don't know who or why. I don't actually care about the GA's I'm missing out on either. So I can understand where you're coming from. I guess we're all human and want to be loved :D

I don't really know you, but I like your name (reminds me somehow of Dax in Star Trek shrugs), so when ever you pop up in PAGYWOSG you make me smile :)

We should start an emotional support group :D

Whatever floats your boat man, keep me on there forever if you like, but don't pretend you're being righteous.

One of the things I hate is the discussion of blacklists.

That's pretty ironic coming from someone started a new thread about being blacklisted a few weeks ago XD

Well, do whatever you like, but SGTools is IMHO much more effective and precise than blacklisting and many of the group-internal leechers of PA have a quiet acceptable SG-ratio. Most of the real leechers can be filtered out by setting a minimum level. Beeing able to guarantee "good" winners who will play their wins simply by blacklisting is an illusion. But have it your way. :)
