Breathe....
Thanks to the enlightened advice in this OP, I am now relaxed and breathing very deeply.
Someone wake me up if this person says anything interesting.

Re: Comments and no questions
But you're forgetting something. Percy doesn't ip ban. The admins just check the ip's to see if they match those who had been struck down by the almighty. You just need to change the ip a little bit to get through the net.
As a matter of fact, this very simple way of changing ip got me around battle.net's ip ban several times before.

Re: Comments and no questions
What if they made another email address for themselves?
Well, you could always immolate yourself and then find out if its possible or not.
How would you detect someone who was breaking Rule 9?

Re: Comments and no questions
Just so you know, it's not as simple as releasing and renewing ip. I just don't want you to do something you might regret. Those of us who know how to do these things tend to keep them to ourselves.

Is that a challenge? Don't you think I am capable of pulling the wool over your eyes, or admins?

Don't you mean usually?

yes me and my friends were, BUT! if someone pisses me off to a certain limit, I might have no other choice. aso for now, I'm just hanging out and trying to mind my own business. so there's nothing to be worried about randman.
ps: I also used that post to help me vent out some of my anger. It cost so much these days to go see a psychiatrist.
sincerely yours, Amen.

well OK.......I wasn't around when you were here and I can definitely sympathize with your frustration, but it seemed a bit over the top to say the least.

Re: the recent proposed topic
its been awhile since I've last vented. I hope others on here understand what I mean when I say: I've been dealing with alot of unhealthy "STRESS" and therefor I apologize for alot of my unwanted behavior on this Forum. I hope you all can forgive me.

Wake Up Archer

This is good to know! I too am relaxed a bit more just seeing that you are relaxed.
One thing that we all must realize is the simple fact that this is an internet site and not our Ego, psychiatric release or anything that should be of any vast importance in our lives.
To those who protested due to the fact that their friends got suspended or banned, might I suggest going out and getting some flesh and blood friends that you can interact with in the real world?
Yes I miss Jar, but its not as if the old curmudgeon has died! I can email him any time I want.
Perhaps once we all relax and (note to Amen) act like mature adults, we can contribute some good posts to this community blog that is Percys Forum and we can quit worrying about control issues.

Speaking of Relaxation

What are you angry about? And can I be frank with you?
I respected you a lot more before you vented like you did. If I were still an administrator, I would have suspended you even though I did enjoy debating with you personally.
Do you want my 2 cent psychoanalysis? All I can say is that a young person such as yourself who feels overly controlled by parents or by organized religion may overcompensate to the other extreme by attempting to intimidate minor authority figures that they can safely intimidate. I also believe, however, that you are basically a good person otherwise. I suggest that you humble yourself, act like an adult, and hope that the current administrators give you a reprieve. You may well be able to sneak back into the forum your own way, but you wont have much fun.
We were all young like you, once.... and trust me, I know what it means to be stressed out and what it means to vent.
I also have learned to be mature (believe it or not! ) and it amazes me more when adults my age act like immature pre-teenagers!
In conclusion, I hope that you are allowed to stay here provided that you dont have any more rants. If you do, im sending a hit squad out on you! Got it?

I Promise to percy and everyone on this board, that I Amen, will not only try to behave myself, but I promise to control my anger and emotion on the EvC Forum. I will remind myself of the following: If I'm going to post something out of anger,emotion, or any other unwanted behavior, then I should not post anything at all. to percy and everyone in this community, I Amen, Promise to do this. However, if I break my promise, I Amen, Will be banned and never come back to this Forum.

It seems rather counter-intuitive to ban anyone especially people who are genuinely arguing a point (regardless of how stubborn or how much flaming is going on) - The site will just get less registered members ..
I have never been banned but have many times found that the banned people engage in the most entertaining banter ... And are the most passionate about their position as well. Banning these people turns off other less prolific members as well.
I say don't ban anyone - not even if they are off topic from time to time ,,.
