Ah yes, another log from A ROOM FOR HERESY. Can we yet tolerate another? One sec, while I take a look at the number of views on that last two logs I posted onto threads here.
So then, in a week's time, the two threads where I posted logs from Heresy,
here and
here, have accrued 100 and 80 views, respectively, and for threads like these with only one or two posts, that says a lot. We must then conclude that there is more than a tepid interest in this subject matter.
The conversation, though I did not participate in it (because banned), revolves around me and my having been banned from the room a week ago, but it also reveals the character of several of the players involved and makes for an excellent analytical tool in studying human nature and for that reason alone, is worth the read.
Players involved? Several people got involved in this at times heated discussion. The main players, are as follows:
On one side, we have people arguing on behalf of freedom, tolerance, and diversity, we'll call them the Freedomites (only 2 of these 5 are Debaiters):
<chase000> Chasingthetailofdogma, an OldSchool member of Heresy, going back the beginning. She has as much seniority as anyone in this room, including the
current host.
<BandwidthBinge> Another icon of Heresy, Binger has been around this room as long as I have been there (5 years) - definitely OldSchool Heresy.
<shakerp> A recent returning, but OldSchool member of Heresy. I don't know this fella, but his cogent analyses throughout the conversation were in line with freedom, tolerance and diversity.
<Sui> While her contributions to this conversation were only towards the end, its obvious that she supports freedom.
<Coffin_Cheater_rides_again782>Sherie, aka CoffinCheater, has always supported free speech on WinMx, and throws her support behind it again in this conversation.
Next, we have the manipulators, the liars, the fascists, the Sophisticunts (none of them come to Debait or have ever supported free speech):
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420>The dude who makes the faces all the time. Neat stuff Zardo. You can't hide behind your silly faces now, can you, fuckhead? Lol.
O_o ;+) Perhaps instead of reading this post, you can spend some time telling more bullshit lies about me. Won't stop me.
<Hitcher403>Hitcher is the epitome of hypocrisy. He'll sit there and call you everything thing he knows he himself is, namely, a liar, an asshole and "abusive." A constant enemy of free speech, equality and tolerance.
<Fenris847> Fenris is "nice" but teeming with ambiguity. As this log shows, he cannot decide what side he is on (or even if there are any sides). Nonetheless, he tells outright lies and so is an enemy of diversity, tolerance, equality and freedom.
<CosmicMuffinJo069> Jo - a stupid, irascible, inflammatory lying cunt, also OldSchool Heresy. She promotes intolerance and exports banality and ignorance all over the world.
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> Zardo, OldSchool member of Heresy, known for fits of fancy (banning) and telling outright lies. He chases every conspiracy theory he sees, affording them more credibility than he can ever hope to attain for himself. He operates outside any justification for his actions. He doesn't care that numerous people feel his actions were wrong. He is an enemy of free speech (and whores too now!) everywhere.
And finally, rounding out the list of key players involved in this conversation, we have the fence-sitters, the placaters, the Diplomites (oddly enough, they are all Debaiters):
<Kimbyr0x> Kimby at first shows some caution towards logging, but soon realizes the futility in worrying about such trivial matters. Kimby is a longtime supporter of free speech and a daily regular in Debait, going back years.
<Grrrrrrrrrrrrrlap666>Grrr, though he never speaks in direct support of me, also never speaks in detraction of me. He agrees that Zard can do whatever he wants with his bandwidth - but we all agree with that. But if Zard, say, wanted to ban half the room for being "rude" how far would that get him? Lol. Grrrr is a longtime supporter of free speech and a daily regular in Debait, going back years.
<MR420>MR is an old friend, turned enemy, turned friend again. MR also habits Debait daily now, supporting free speech.
The action starts off with Sherie, aka CoffinCheater, chatting with Cludgie aka frank_lee_glaikit.

[22:52:07]
<BandwidthBinge> i love how a rude asshole like cludgie is welcome here but knot isn't
Here we have, from out of the blue, an OldSchool Heresy regular, a Freedomite, BandwidthBinge-er, leading the charge for freedom for us all, with a very astute observation. Let's keep in mind this exact quote from Band, which started this whole discussion about freedom in Heresy, because we'll come back to it at the end and see if it was resolved. Band is obviously saying that Cludgie is at least as bad, if not worse, than me and if he is allowed in, then so too should be I. It's a balanced comparison and alludes to the double standard being applied here which many are coming to think is a detraction from Heresy, a ship veering off the course that was set years ago before the current host, Zardo, took the helm.
This journey was intended to be one of exploration - not exploitation. It was supposed to be about free thinking, not toein' the fucking line. It was supposed to encourage diversity, tolerance and freedom, its very name positioning the room in contention with the commonplace. Do some of us yet need further instruction on the meaning of the word heresy? Is the name of the room supposed to imply the opposite of what's inside? Surely not. Though that would make for a good de
bait. Lol. Let's continue on with the log, and see what transpires:
[22:52:19] <DigitalDingleBerry313> makes me wonder too bandwidth
[22:53:00] <BlinkChick603> whos cludgie?
[22:53:11]

<Kimbyr0x> good point bingerz
Kimby, a Diplomite, agrees with Band. Notice how 47 seconds later, Zard is attempting to win Kimby over to his side (i.e. immediately) by
reminding her what her position was... "you said so" Lol.:
[22:59:04]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> Kimz, you2 were offended by Knot posting chatlogs on a website. you said so
[23:00:45]
<Kimbyr0x> true zardz i dont like the thought of being logged & posted on the internet for all to see ..
[23:01:11]
<Kimbyr0x> maybe we can ask him not to do that?
Ah. Kimby the Diplomite, a voice of reason. What an excellent question. Kimby knows me. She's in my room every day for years, now. She knows I am not unreasonable or she wouldn't even have suggested to ask me not to do it. Right? Lol. And Kimby, if I had have been asked not to log the room and post it on my site, I just may have complied. But let's also keep in mind that I didn't bother posting anything from the room until I was banned by Zard for no good reason, while we argued about the Ossetia conflict. He disagreed with me, called me and "idiot" and and "imbecile" and then, finally, just banned me. The log was posted here to SHOW that.
You cannot say I'm banned for posting a conversation from the room which highlighted your infantility, Zard, because I was banned for no reason before ever posting the log.
Remember, Zard?
Tune to the other thread about how you banned me for disagreeing with you over Ossetia, k? You knew that the recent ban which you'd just lifted was lacking merit. You, Zard, in fact invented "logging" as a petty justification for
re-banning me. So you invented a new rule against logging, despite you admitting your own hypocrisy in saying that you and others have posted from logs in the past (further down) and you immediately applied it
retroactively and banned then firewalled me without warning. I saw my bot get banned. I asked you why you banned it. You said because it's logging the room and I'm posting it on the internet. I replied that I'm using WinMx, and could just as easily log with that. You didn't ask me not to log it or post anything from that room on a website. You cannot produce one iota of evidence to suggest you ever told me not to log that room. Sure, you don't like it - but lots of people log the room and sometimes even post things. Ask Santi. You all chuckled it up then, though, huh? It's all great till the joke's on you? Lol.
Let's read on, because it gets better:
[23:01:11]
<BandwidthBinge> i guess... i just don't understand what makes knot so intolerable that he gets firewalled
[23:01:42]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> He thinks its his right
[23:02:02] <DigitalDingleBerry313> i dont see why knot gets firewalled either
Band's point still remains unaddressed. He feels the logging isn't an issue. Kimby feels a little prickly about it, though, but still is diplomatic in wondering if I would stop logging:
[23:02:37]
<Kimbyr0x> if we all had in the back of our minds our convo's could be randomly logged i think it would stiffle the flow
[23:03:00]
<BandwidthBinge> well, it's not like we're talking in private
[23:03:10]
<Kimbyr0x> do you think if we asked knott, not to do that he would comply?
[23:03:15]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> no

[23:03:18]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> he won't
Ahh. Zard, who hasn't once asked me, ever, to not log the room, somehow "knows" that I won't comply if asked and faced with a ban otherwise.
[23:03:18]
<BandwidthBinge> i'm sure plenty of ppl log their channels
[23:03:27]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> and he'll argue about it endlessly
[23:03:35]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> and act like its an insult that you asked
Lol. I haven't once been asked not to log the room. How could I argue about it endlessly unless there was a probability that an argument against logging the room (Zard's argument) has no merit? Let's read on and see what is the pulse of the people:
[23:03:36]
<MR420> Evening .
[23:03:40]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> hi MR

[23:05:30]
<BandwidthBinge> so you could say that knot is being rather.... heretical?
[23:05:42]
<BandwidthBinge> hehe
[23:05:53]
<MR420> speaking of which anyone got the addy ?
[23:05:54]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> He tries to force his views on others, and is very sure of himself
Oooo. I'm *so* nasty. I "try" to "force" my views on others? If I can only "try" then it's not very "force"ful, now is it? Sure, I will make persuasive arguments in chat rooms, and yes, I won't argue unless I am sure of myself. Is that somehow a fault? Seems like you're complimenting me.
So, Zard, when you trumpet the Western party-line media response to Ossetia, and parrot it into the room, you're
not "trying" to "force" your views on others? Perhaps you'd like to euphemize it, and say that when you present information you are... hmmm... informing people? But when I post references and my opinion about Ossetia, I'm "forcing" it? Remember who was calling me an "idiot" and an "imbecile" during that political conversation, Zardo? YOU. Then, when you could not win my agreement, after insulting me, after no retaliatory insults from me - you ban me. So WHO is forcing their opinions? It's not a coincidence that you presented this criticism of me in that framework, becase as many of us know, we often see others through lens of our own self, and in doing so, project our own flaws onto them. I don't "force" anyone to believe anything. I am all about peace, equality, freedom. Does peace mean there is never contention? Nope. There will always be contention, that's life. We won't every all be happy shiny people holding hands - and I don't want that sort of sickening conformity anyways. Do you?
[23:05:55]
<MR420>
[23:06:08] <BlinkChick603> -.-
[23:06:14]
<MR420> would you argue something if you wern't sure
[23:06:40]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> well, when it comes to this chatroom, its none of his buisness
I've been coming here for five years. If it's none of my business how this room is run, then it's none of the other long-time OldSchool regulars' business either, Zardo. It's purely a DICKtatorshi
t, run by a spinless, ignorant buffoon.
[23:06:43]
<Grrrrrrrrrrrrrlap666> heresey does not mean free speech and more than free speech mean heresey
Grrrr, a Diplomite, speaks out against free speech. I've never asked or expected "free speech" in Heresy, so this isn't even a point. There is only one place to find free speech on WinMx - Debait. We all know that. And it's not for everyone, that's true. I respect "rules" in any room that I attend regularly.
What I DO expect from a chatroom, especially a room where I have as much tenure as most of the people present, is to be treated
equally, to be treated
fairly, to be treated consistently, without double standards, without vague, retroactive rules being applied to me for doing things that lots of other people do in there, all the time.
[23:06:50]
<Kimbyr0x> i dont see that as a problem zardz but the logging thing doesnt feel right but i guess its a risk we all take chatting here
Kimby, always thinking things out, sees the reasoning in that anyone could be logging any chat room at any time and make it public. The act of chatting in a cyber-space chatroom alone makes your words publishable. And really, who cares? It's not like these are some secret conversations about blowing things up. Are we afraid of being quoted? I'm sure not.
I'll stand behind my words, and I don't care if its recorded while I'm talking, when I type it, whether it's in public or private, whether I know that it's being recorded or not - none of that matters. I stand behind what I say. I take no shame in any conversation I've had. Any of you are free to quote me on any conversation we've ever had about any topic. I won't back away from it.
Now I'm not saying I expect others to be the same as me in this respect, but in a chatroom, on WinMx, open to public where anyone can enter anonymously - there is no expectation of "privacy" at all. To even pretend there is an illusion of privacy is ludicrous.

Several people now, Grrrr, Fate and Kimby all see the folly in banning someone for "logging" a chat room.
[23:07:46]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> Posting logs on a site is very rude
Rude? Lmfao!! Omg that's rich, Zardo. It's "rude"? Are you serious?
You don't want our conversation about a political situation in Ossetia, which plainly showed you being abusive and dictatorial, to be posted on a website why?
Lol. Do you see how the answer is found inside that question? Think it out.
[23:08:00]
<MR420> you all wonder why the guys got a complex .... yall never stfu about him lmao
Heh. Agreed. Here it's a full week after I've been firewalled from the room and controversy is still breaking out over it. Was it worth the ban, fuckhead? Lol. Sure was to me. I'll explain why it was worth the ban, to me, at the end.
[23:08:08]
<Coffin_Cheater_rides_again782> knot is ok if you know how to tread with him i use to fight with knot like there was no tomorrow but we have sorted our problems out and we talk ok now so why don't the rest of yous do it
That's right, Sherie. I am quite reasonable, and more than willing to let bygones be bygones. We've gotten past our differences because we both are reasonable people.
[23:08:19]
<Fenris847> yeah watch out on those torrent dlds..they get logged...except the azureous site
[23:08:47]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> I wouldn't talk about Knot at all, but others never let it rest
Haha. Well, keep banning me for no good reason, and firewalling me for invented rulebreaks, and you won't have to listen to people talk about me. You brought this all on yourself, Zardo. I barely even speak to you as it is. Because I know your irrational, shortfused temper will erupt again. Why do YOU think they won't let it rest? They are all my puppets? Come on. They aren't standing up for me so much as they are standing up for a
principle. That's why they don't let it rest. If you were plainly justified, as when you banned Cludge eariler in the log, no one says shit (except Sherie lol). There are no week long controversies echoing through the halls of heresy when Santi gets banned, either. The reason, Zardo, that it goes on is because it is about the principle involved, or more specifically - you're LACK of principles. There would be no arguments, no furore, no controversy at all if you were seen as justified. Can you not see that? Perhaps you were projecting yourself when you said "idiot" and "imbecile" to me? Think it out, fella.

Well, Fate, what behaviour is that? Discussing politics? That's why I was intially banned. Not for insulting. I was BEING insulted, remember, Zardo? By YOU. And for what? Disagreeing about Ossetia.

Here Zard admits his own hypocrisy now, brazenly admitting that he used to do the exact same fucking thing. Back then, for him, it was ok. Now, it's "rude." You double-standardized, hypocritical, ignorant fuckwad.
[23:12:37]

[23:13:10]

Hitcher professes agreement with MR (aka e), that anything said in a chatroom is PUBLIC DOMAIN. Let's see if Hitcher sticks with this point of view, that is, let's keep this in mind when he ambiguously waffles over it, later on in the log. Zard is still repeating, ad nauseum, how it's "rude."

[23:14:14]
<Hitcher403> hmm. i just a text msg from obama....
[23:14:16]
<chase000> you can copy and paste freely.
[23:14:21]
<chase000> even plagarise if you want.
[23:14:27]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> So is a shopping mall, chase, but its not public. Its private property
A shopping mall? Lmfao. Is this the best analogy you could purport? Despite Grrr, MR, Hitch and Binger all saying that it is in fact public domain, Zard clings to his irrational argument, like a captain going down with his ship:
[23:14:28]
<chase000> z
[23:14:37] MR420_15477 has left
[23:14:38]
<Fenris847> might check their site now grrrr
[23:14:45]
<chase000> well, this is a little different than a shopping mall.
[23:14:47] <MisplacedFate1313> WinMX chat belongs to the WinMX community. It's owned by the people who use it.

<Hitcher403> <chase000> you can copy paste my back freely.
[23:14:55]
<BandwidthBinge> yup
[23:15:02]
<chase000> it's virtual space... owned by nobody... I mean, you control it... you can maybe make a rule as host.
[23:15:06]
<BandwidthBinge> no one owns winmx
[23:15:13]
<chase000> but really, you have no backing.
[23:15:14] <squeezably> yes i do
[23:15:19] <squeezably> I bought it last week
[23:15:24]
<BandwidthBinge> decentralized
[23:15:25]
<Hitcher403> i thot km owned it
[23:15:30]
<chase000> I don't really even see how it's rude if it isn't a private IM conversation.
Chase can't even see Zard's point about it being rude, either.
[23:15:30]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> lol

<shakerp> how the hell can a chatroom be private property? it's not even property
[23:15:50]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> The ppl who host chat rooms are the moderators. Its not public
[23:15:59]
<shakerp> anyone can join
[23:16:01]
<shakerp> it's public
[23:16:02] <MisplacedFate1313> Everybody who is a primary connection, and is therefore sustaining the connection, IS the connection.
[23:16:03]
<Coffin_Cheater_rides_again782> brb need to go to the loo
[23:16:10]
<MR420> tell that to the riaa , mpaa and the fedZ
[23:16:11]
<Hitcher403> damn. zard's privatised
[23:16:12]
<chase000> or the text exchanged via this medium... owed by nobody unless it's copywritten.
[23:16:17]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> anyone can enter a shopping mall, yet they are not public
[23:16:25]
<MR420> yes they are
[23:16:27]
<MR420> lol
[23:16:28]
<shakerp> this isn't property
[23:16:30]
<MR420> here anyway
[23:16:30] <MisplacedFate1313> I don't see anything in the constitution about OpenNap
[23:16:31]
<chase000> little different if you're talking about virtual space.
[23:16:35] <BlinkChick603> night all xxxxx
[23:16:38]
<Fenris847> the chatroom can be destroyed by the I.P. ...simple as that..you could say that *they* have the power of control
[23:16:39]
<Hitcher403> gn
[23:16:42]
<shakerp> not even intellectual property
[23:16:45]
<BandwidthBinge> someone owns the shopping mall, no one owns winmx
[23:16:49]
<Grrrrrrrrrrrrrlap666> i'm checking the current catalogue fen
[23:16:55]
<Fenris847> cheers Grrrr
[23:16:55]
<Hitcher403> a host own his banwidth
Contrast this statement with Hitcher's earlier claim that he agrees with MR e that all chatroom are in the "public domain." Now he's arguing the opposite. Did he forget what he said earlier? Or did he just hope we did? Lol. I didn't miss it, that's for sure.
[23:17:02]
<chase000> even the name of this room is up for grabs.
[23:17:16]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> when someone opens a chatroom, they are definatelly in charge of it, and can do what they want with it
Well hmmmm.. what does this sound like? Fascism? Did you begin this chatroom, Zard? You invented it? Really? I thought Jimz and Heretic did that. I thought it was
their room. I thought that they left in disgust over the direction the room has taken (under you). I thought Heresy was about the people who came there, their wishes, not the private petty whims of any one person. When did things change? When did no one's opinion but yours matter, Zard, when it comes to Heresy? Do you yet see the value in the old adage "power corrupts"?
[23:17:17] #c6#Blink#c7#Chick603_37255 has left
[23:17:18] <MisplacedFate1313> Nobody leases space in winmx, either
[23:17:18]
<shakerp> it's the same as anywhere else on the internet...if you don't want everyone to potentially see it, then don't put it out there
Agreed, Shaker. What the fuck is there to hide?
[23:17:23]
<chase000> acorporationforheresy@paypal.com
[23:17:26] <MisplacedFate1313> there is no space, there is no value
[23:17:29]
<shakerp> and so can anyone else, zard
[23:17:32]
<MR420> thats rented hitch not owned
[23:17:33]
<chase000> give generously.
[23:17:35]
<MR420>
[23:17:45]
<Fenris847> yeah..if you dont give anyone else admin, the room host basically is king
[23:17:54]
<Fenris847> king zdz
[23:17:57]
<Hitcher403> renters have the same rights as owners, legally, in many respects (cept where they are in conflict with owners)
[23:18:23]
<chase000> does anyone else think it is rude to post conserations from chatrooms to websites?
[23:18:29]
<MR420> the only way to have a private room is to keep it off the wpn
[23:18:29]
<shakerp> no
[23:18:30]
<chase000> conversations.
[23:18:33]
<Hitcher403> guarantee u a renter can kick u out of his apt lol
[23:18:48] <squeezably> you can list your room on the list or not
[23:18:58]
<Fenris847> if you chat in a chatroom, you're giving ALL your comments away...simple as that...
[23:19:03]
<BandwidthBinge> no chase
[23:19:08] <MisplacedFate1313> When you live in a slum, you will get kicked by the slumlords
[23:19:20]
<BandwidthBinge> actually, i'd like to be preserved for posterity
Lol. Well you got your wish, Bing.
[23:19:30]
<Hitcher403> like lenin?
[23:19:39]
<Hitcher403> ewwww
[23:19:40] <MisplacedFate1313> You have to put a (tm) at the end of everything you say. (tm)
[23:19:53]
<Hitcher403> <-
[23:20:03]
<chase000> well, think about if we were all sitting at a park somewhere having a conversation... would repeating what was said be rude? usually, not... unless it was understood the topic was sensitive.
[23:20:22]
<Grrrrrrrrrrrrrlap666> can't find one on the site fen but they were in a catalogue last month
[23:20:23]
<Fenris847> life can be rude ... just gotta get over ourselves..it aint about 'us' ... I thought it was rude of the usa to rape and pillage in iraq..but could I do anything about it? nope
[23:20:29] <MisplacedFate1313> It's kind of like having reporters with microphones surrounding you constantly
[23:20:32]
<Hitcher403> u have no expectation of privacy i a park, so anyhting u say or do is legally recordable, without recourse
Duh. And your point, Hitch? Oh right - you don't even have one. Watch, as Hitch goes on to waffle again:
[23:20:47]
<shakerp> the internet is serious business, guys
[23:20:48]
<shakerp> haha
[23:20:57]
<BandwidthBinge> i expet no privacy with whatever i say in a chatroom
[23:21:02]
<BandwidthBinge> *expect
[23:21:02]
<Hitcher403> me either
So first Hitch says chatrooms are in the public domain. Then he waffles and says they are private, the bandwidth is "owned" by the host. Then he waffles back again, and says he expects no privacy anyway - decimating his own point about a park.
[23:21:21]
<Hitcher403> on the other hand, asswads who repeat in chat rooms what is said in pm shud b shot on sight
How the fuck does that apply? No one said anything about anyone posting from private message - this is about posting a Heresy log, from the chatroom, remember, Hitch? Lol. Stay on track, fella. This "point" is an obvious red herring. Expected tactics from a Sophisticunt such as himself.
[23:21:21] <MisplacedFate1313> Laws are easily applicable in a public park, which is owned by the municipal government....not so easy for internet domains
[23:21:23]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> well, I found Knot's postings and opinions, and it pisses me off enough that I won't allow it. Does the public have a say? NO, they do not
Ah. Now we're getting to the real issue, finally, and it has
nothing to do with posting from logs. He doesn't like my "opinions." Opinions about what? My opinion about HIM, of course! Lol. Of course you don't like my opinion of you - I'm fucking mocking you. Why? Because of your abject behaviour.
[23:21:28]
<Grrrrrrrrrrrrrlap666> best to assume every post is being logged
Agreed.
[23:21:33]
<chase000> as far as it being public doman, I'm thinking about that in the legal since... and I don't really think it follows with the intensions of the laws... which were to protect the original works of inventors, thinkers, scientists, etc.
[23:21:34]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> ya
[23:21:43]
<Hitcher403> u have a link zard?
[23:21:43]
<CosmicMuffinJo069> BONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[23:21:47]
<shakerp> uh yah, they do zard. anyone can post anything from in here where ever they want haha
True that. I'm not the first and I won't be the last.
[23:22:00]
<Hitcher403> knot posts selectively lol
Ahh, more excrement from the Bullshit Squad. I post selectively? Yeah, I "select" the entire fucking conversation, including all the boring irrelevant trash, even though that may make it too daunting, and keep some people from reading the thread at all. I do NOT post "selectively" in fact I post from the very beginnings of a conversation, to the bitter end, and the length of these logs I've posted here already attests to this. So here's the beginning of Hitcher's bullshit lie factory.
[23:22:06]
<CosmicMuffinJo069> not if they aint here
[23:22:10]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> and if I find it I might firewall them, and they have no recourse
Let's keep in mind why I posted to begin with, Zardo. Remember? Because I was banned without provocation, for discussing Ossetia, and you disagreed, remember? That's why I posted the log, to SHOW that.
[23:22:19]
<chase000> ?
[23:22:23]
<Hitcher403> he'll insult someone 50 times on monday, then post tuesday's log where they fially blew up at him
Show me one fucking example of this selective posting then, Hitch. Sift throught some websites, and compare with the prior day's log and prove this bullshit, specious lie. Fact is, I have never quoted anyone out of context and I am always more than willing to face up to any words I have typed to anyone, at anytime. Quote me, you lying, sycophantic, dictatorial upstart. Does that last sentence qualify as insult? Lol. Think of it more as constructive criticism.
[23:22:31]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> BONG TIME!!!!!!!
[23:22:40]
<Grrrrrrrrrrrrrlap666> <O>
[23:22:42]
<shakerp> whoop dee fucking do. the point is, you have no legal bearing on it. if you want to go on a pwoer trip, go ahead lol but it's not like that person is doing something wrong
Precisely. Shaker cuts through the nonsense with common sense. This is about a power trip, Zard's.
[23:23:04]
<CosmicMuffinJo069> point is actually its Zards comp hosting so he can choose to do whatever he wants
Sure he can, Jo. But if he keeps acting like a fuckwad, more and more people will become disgruntled with the room. That's why all the furore over this incident - because it's pure unadulterated bullshit.
[23:23:07]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> I told him not to do that in here, and he refused
LIE! You never once told me not to do it. You said you banned my bot because it's logging the room and I post to websites. I said I can also log with WinMx. You didn't say "hey, could you not do that?" You didn't ASK anything at all. You summarily banned me you lying fuck. Quote any log from any day where you ASKED me not to log or post about logging.
[23:23:09]
<Grrrrrrrrrrrrrlap666> it's all about consequence
[23:23:16]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> exactly, Jo
Exactly Jo? She just said that Zard can do whatever he wants. Did Zard want this issue dragging on for the past week, culminating in this heated discussion? Did Zard want Chase, Shaker, Grrr, Bing, MR, and even Hitcher to disagree with him that this chatroom is in the public domain? It seems Zard
can't do whatever he wants, if what he wants is a chatroom with no discussion about Knot4Prophet - because its neverending. Lol. Why? Because I'm justified.
[23:23:20]
<CosmicMuffinJo069>
[23:23:22]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420>
[23:23:23]
<BandwidthBinge> and we can choose to disagree with it jo
[23:23:24]
<Hitcher403> the host owns the bandwidth
Waffle #3, lol. First it's public, then private, then public, then private. Lmao. Your arguments have as much integrity as a marshmallow, Hitch.
[23:23:28]
<shakerp> oh ok so let's all be 5 years old haha
[23:23:29]
<shakerp> MINE!
[23:23:41]
<CosmicMuffinJo069> course you can disagree with it
[23:23:50]
<shakerp> I see things haven't changed here...but I already knew that lol
[23:23:50]
<Hitcher403> yeah but it's not "bein a 5 yr old" to lie and harass ppl without cause...
Great point, Hitch. Now it's your turn to project, eh? It's obviously YOU who's making up the lies, as I pointed out, saying that I selectively quote when I absolutely do not, saying that I abuse people
first when I absolutely do not. YOU are the abuser, Hitch, and the daily petsexings are a testament to that, and to your intolerance, control issues, and general depravity.
[23:23:50]
<CosmicMuffinJo069> doesnt mean its gonna change
Fucking well right it does. It's changed already. My influence on this room is unquestioned. Whether people love me or hate me, they fucking talk about me. Why do you think that is? Anyone? I'll tell you why, since I'm feeling generous with my words tonight.
Because I am entertaining. I am provocative. I am intelligent, informed, playful, competitive, relentless and outspoken. Everyone may not like me - I'm ok with that. In fact, if everyone did, I'd think I'm doing something wrong. chat rooms, for me, aren't about shouting BONGTIME and announcing my meals and shits, live as they happen. I don't announce my shits to people in daily life, either. Do you Zard? "Hey mum, I'm taking a shit" Why announce it in heresy then? Sure its free speech for YOU. You can make yourself look like an uncouth buffoon all you like. I'll be here to point it out, at my leisure.
[23:23:52]
<chase000> yeah, I wholeheartedly disagree.
[23:23:54]
<Hitcher403> mmmkay
[23:23:56]
<Grrrrrrrrrrrrrlap666> if the host say "don't do X or i'll ban you" then you go ahead and do X, what is the problem?
Aye, but the host DIDN'T. I was never given any option whatsoever - just summarily banned and firewalled from a room I've been in for 5 years.
[23:24:01]
<Fenris847> whoop dee fucking doo - the difference between right and wrong has about 6 billion variations lolz
[23:24:04]
<CosmicMuffinJo069> exactly grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Here Jo is agreeing with Grrr's' erroneous claim that I was told ahead of time not to log (Grrr didn't know any better at the time - he knows now).
[23:24:05]
<chase000> and I'm fearful of the direction of the room.
That's what all this controversy is REALLY about. Not about me. Not about Zard. Not about posting logs. Not about abusive people. It's about the direction of the room, Heresy. Chase cares about it. I care about it. Fuqrot cared enough to leave in protest. So did Jimz. So did Heretic. Others are shunning admin, now too. Kardio. Gringo. It's not just me getting banned for no good reason. It's me, and Sprinkles, and Chardok, and PanteleAz, and Barrett and many others now. The freedom to speak in there is slowly being constricted into a narrow, conformist, politically correct, sycophantic shithole. And yeah, that upsets me. Let's see how the room reacts to this "direction":
[23:24:18]
<Fenris847> dont be fearful
[23:24:19]
<CosmicMuffinJo069> make another room
[23:24:26]
<BandwidthBinge> so you did ask him to not do it zard?
[23:24:30]
<Hitcher403> just wait till zard appoints me commisar!
This is what Hitch really wants, all along, aye - power. He lusts for it and exercises his power over others daily, booting, redirecting, banning and silencing anyone that disagrees with him who holds less "power" - in this case, isn't as close to Zard. He has his head firmly placed in Zard's rectum at all times so as to accomplish this.
[23:24:34]
<CosmicMuffinJo069> hell yeah LOTS of times band
Lots of times? You lying idiot cunt, Jo. Show me one log of any conversation from these LOTS of times, then. You cannot because that statement was totally fabricated and you fucking well know it. You add nothing to the chatroom, Jo, except the obligatory floozieairheadbimboditz element. You're lack of scruples in repeating and now exaggerating this lie is readily apparent. Hopefully you don't teach your kids such nonsense.
[23:24:37]
<Fenris847> take your 'willow' homeopathic, and bend with life
[23:24:38]
<Grrrrrrrrrrrrrlap666> it has nothing to do with right or wrong or even morallity
[23:24:49]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> <Grrrrrrrrrrrrrlap666> if the host say "don't do X or i'll ban you" then you go ahead and do X, what is the problem?
Ah, now Zard is seizing on what he already knows is his own lie, but now being repeated back to him by Grrr, so he repeats it, as though it's adding to the list of people who disagree with me, when it most certainly isn't. It's complete and utter nonsense. You never ONCE asked, forbid, or anything about me logging. You indicated you banned my bot for it. You did not ask me to stop. If you had have asked me to stop, I may have. The only reason I posted to begin with was to get back in the damn room that you banned me from for no reason, remember? Lol.
[23:24:54]
<chase000> well, this one had its' own flare... can't just go recreate a heresy.... only if you all promised to come.
[23:24:55]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420>
[23:24:59]
<BandwidthBinge> so you did ask him to not do it zard?
Band keeps asking this question, but Zard avoids it.
[23:25:02]
<shakerp> so why exactly does anyone care what knot posts anyway? hahaha does it all make you look like morons or something?
Lol. Perhaps.
[23:25:08]
<Hitcher403> flair*
[23:25:14]
<CosmicMuffinJo069> why do YOU care that he's banned?
Why shoulnd't anyone care about the direction the room is heading? I care. So do many others. Heresy is a place we enjoy, a place we learned to tolerate other people's views. It's become a mockery of the principles it was founded upon. The heretical people all get banned.
[23:25:17]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> several times
Finally Zard answers Band with a fabricated bullshit lie: "several times" he told me that I'd be banned if I logged? Lots of times, like Jo said? And what, I just kept on posting after all these NUMEROUS warnings? Lmfao. Total, absolute bullshit. Quote one fucking conversation out of these "several time" that you allegedly warned me I'd be banned if I kept logging. Just one.
[23:25:22]
<Hitcher403> why does knot care if he gets kicked?
Why does anyone care about anything, you moronic hypocrite. Does anyone see me championing free speech for Cludge, who gets booted from there regularly? Nope. Even Sprinkles I do not vouch for because he immediately does what he knows numerous people will ban him for. I don't. I spend my time in there discussing morality and politics, and chatting with friends. I don't start shit with anyone unless they start it with me first, or they start shit with someone else. Then it's open season.
[23:25:28]
<CosmicMuffinJo069> so what hes banned woop de doo you have him in other rooms
So? Have you reached your peak of irrelevance yet, Jo? Doubtful. We all attend other rooms. Because we attend other rooms means we shouldn't be allowed in Heresy? Or just me?
[23:25:30]
<Fenris847> *the only constancy is inconstancy* (Lao Tsu)
[23:25:30]
<BandwidthBinge> ok, i did not know that
[23:25:37]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> yeah, whats Knots problem?
What's my fucking problem? Lol. You must be lying. You ban me for disagreeing with you about Ossetia after calling me an "idiot" and an "imbecile" from a room I have been attending for 5 years, from a room I have spent hours and hours discussing politics and humanity, from a room where numerous people know me, like me, and support my right to be in there. Is that not enough to be considered a "problem"? It is to me.
[23:25:43]
<shakerp> I don't, I didn't even know he was banned, jo. if you haven't noticed, I haven't exactly been around in about 3 years
[23:25:45]
<Fenris847> heresy cannot remain the same..its impossible
A fleeting moment of common sense from Fenris - he totally abandons it later, showing his true colours - a Sophisticunt.
[23:26:00]
<chase000> well, that's my own thing, Shake... what's the big deal about doing it in the first place? and no, the point is it whether or not I can demand an answer to that question from Zardie... the point is, this is a room for heresy, so goddammit the question WILL be asked.
I love this quote. Awesome Chasey. The question WILL be asked. Beautiful.
[23:26:10]
<Fenris847> and just like led zep..heresy will get old fat and incontinent
Yeah, and further down the log, you help it do just that, Fenris.
[23:26:12]
<Grrrrrrrrrrrrrlap666> the only constant in the universe is change
[23:26:23]
<chase000> you can't seek to end the discussion on this topic all together... how the hell are you going to run a chatroom with no fucking chat?
Another salient point by Chase.
[23:26:40]
<Hitcher403> there qre other topics lol
Are you the MC? Too fucking bad if you don't like the topic. If you don't want this shit continuing, stop supporting intolerance. Even when I am not in the room for a week straight, my influence lives on. Deal with it.
[23:26:41]
<Fenris847> easy
[23:26:45]
<chase000> can't totally dictate the conversation... that's why so many of those other rooms are DEAD.
Exactly, Chase. The room is being neutered.
[23:26:51]
<chase000> movie only rooms, etc.
[23:26:53]
<chase000> fucking stupid.
[23:26:55]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> Hitch, look next door
[23:26:58]
<ZaRdOz(<O>..<o>)420> <O>
[23:27:03]
<Fenris847> yeah LOVE that fucking stoopid room
[23:27:12]
<CosmicMuffinJo069> who the fuck cares???
WE DO, you drunken, lying, shitforbrains cunt.
[23:27:13]
<chase000> that is why I'm fearful of the direction the room is taking.
