A question for the men

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Of course I threw my weight around. It's what a boss is supposed to do. That and set up surprise taco days.

The way you tell the story is usually summed up as such.
"I messed with him by changing his name, and then he left because he couldn't handle it".

The facts of the case.

You leave out the thread renaming,

A common practice, especially when a thread has gone flying off the rails.

closing,

Same.

closing his goodbye thread,

I'll actually address this one a bit more.

No one cared. People can claim they cared all they want, but no one cared. He's a marginal poster claiming to leave (if he's not back in 3 months I'll double your rep) after acting like a jackass and being called out for it. He was already gone by the time his goodbye thread was locked and a grand total of something like two people had said something. This really, really isn't a big deal and I don't know why anyone would think otherwise.

and adding punctuation to running him off while other people were trying to be encouraging.

Again, I'd like to repeat: he was logged off "for good" when that was locked and wasn't going to be seeing any of those messages anyway.

You basically told everyone in that tiny little thread that their opinions didn't matter at all when you closed it.

Opinions that wouldn't be seen.

Now. I know that he was already gone for those last bits. But you still did it.

Yep, and I'd do the same again.

And you brush all that stuff off every time.

Like the standard, non-important actions they were.

And that wouldn't even matter to me. I'm not knocking you for doing those things. I just feel like it's a little dishonest to omit that stuff when you tell people that he ran off JUST over the name.

I omit them because they meant nothing. If he ran off because his precious thread about his bathroom issues was closed, that's because of his paper thin skin, not anything I did.

 

[Stone Cold Tea]

Now would this be hard like understanding how to spell bush or hard like the right cross you would throw at a woman for making you look even dumber?

You know, you're right. You are brilliant and I have the brain of a drunken chicken.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

Yep, and my perspective is one of the only ones that matters.

Well, at least you're honest about it. It would be a lot more awkward a conversation if you weren't.

KB, I wasn't asking you to address your actions (for the millionth time). You've made it clear how you felt, and why you did it. And I've tried to make it clear that I don't hold most of it against you. Those things didn't mean anything to you, and given how fast he ended up running off, you're right. Thin skin.

But it was kind of a thing that raised eyebrows. I was too gutless to even say anything about until SSC spoke up. The Bar Room is suppose to be the area of no accountablity, and it sort of put everyone on notice. When you shrug it off, and make it seem like he ran off over nothing, it sugar coats the situation. You ran him off and used your mod power to embarress him. If you had done the same thing to me, I probably would have left with my tail between my legs too.

Fuck that guy. He was being an ass. But you did a thing. You kicked a guy in the balls for being a dick. Good. But you keep saying his balls not being made of steel is his fault. Your foot apparently, had nothing to do with his fetal position.

I don't know why I can't let this go. I'm going to let it go now.

Double my rep if he's not back by Christmas?

He embarrassed himself. If you think what I did was more embarrassing, I'm not going to be able to change that.

 

[SSJPhenom]

This was a good read.

The Bar Room is back, baby.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

A damn good read fellas, keep it up.

But why lock it? There are plenty of threads that are older with just as few replies that don't get locked.

He was a jerk that didn't deserve a goodbye thread. It inconvenienced me you see.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

He was a jerk

Was he? He was here for many years and I don't remember problems from him or between the two of you?

Was his switch to jerkdom a new thing?

that didn't deserve a goodbye thread. It inconvenienced me you see.

Yeah I don't remember anything with him before this.

 

[The Doctor]

He wasn't a jerk, like, in the slightest. In fact, he helped me with my website a few times. Good guy.

 

[SSJPhenom]

I'm not going to comment one way or another on what happened to him or why it happened. All I'll say is that I enjoyed debating with him on several different topics and IMO he was a solid poster.

I'd never seen him be a jerk before his last few days here.

See, that's just shitty and vengeful.

 

[klunderbunker]

See, that's just shitty and vengeful.

Now you're catching on!

 

[SSJPhenom]

He was being a dick near the end of that thread, I have to admit, however, so were others. It was an entertaining read though.

We still talking about Rock Lesnar?

 

[Xemmy]

No, the other one. I thought Rock Lesnar was still hanging around.

 

[Slash-LN]

I once walked into the women's bathroom at like Walmart or somewhere. Somewhere that you don't have to open the door to walk into them. I turned around and walked right back out and no one said anything. I don't think anyone even pays that much attention to that shit in public.

When I worked at a hotel a dude asked if he could just use the women's restroom real quick because someone was in the men's. It wasn't busy and it was just a one toilet bathroom with a lock on the door so I was like yeah go ahead. I had used it myself when someone was in the men's. I worked third shift so we weren't really super busy at that time.

I know that's different than what this conversation was meant to actually be about.

But in public like I said earlier I really don't think people pay that much attention to who is going into the bathroom. I think if I saw a dude walking into the women's bathroom I would probably say something but not in a threatening manner. Just like a "Hey dude that's the women's bathroom." sort of way.
