So if someone tells you they want to die and then hands you a knife, you stab them just to be accommodating? Interesting.
No.
I believe in the good of the many versus the few. If 10-15 veteran members are complaining and leaving due to one man's consistent nonsense, the situation must be looked into.
I looked into the situation and approached Shizzo in private. I told him that we need to figure out why he is causing so many posters to leave. In turn, he responded with the suggestion to have a vote off. I simply obliged and stated that it would have to be under my rules.
Look, I'm not a saint or infallible. I try my best to make everyone happy on this forum.
When Shizzo was first sent to Time Out, I was the one that pushed for his release and had him return.
When
SHIZZO DECIDED TO BE A PIECE OF SHIT AND VIOLATE THE ONE RULE THAT RON STANDS BY 100% OF THE TIME (NO POSTING OF A MEMBER'S PRIVATE MESSAGES ON THE OPEN FORUM) BY POSTING MY PRIVATE MESSAGES TO HIM, guess what I did? I brushed it off and let him off the hook.
You know how many private messages were sent to me that day due to my being forgiving of his bullshit? 53 private messages and a large cohort of that was from moderators stating that I was getting soft with a known troll and manipulator.
Let this pool serve as a lesson. You can't manipulate yourself out of a hole that you dug yourself into.
He gave his word and decided to backpedal out of his own agreement. I don't play that shit. I am a man of my word.
