Alcar, the promise of power is a damning thing, isn't it?

Please avoid imaginitive speculations on my private life, they don't concern you.

As for your reference to what happened in OddChat, let me give you the account of what happened: When I arrived in OddChat, I was inundated with pleas from the users, they had been plagued by a couple of people who had been relentlessly throwing sexually-slanted insults at them. It had been going on for a few weeks, and the offenders carefully made sure administrators were not in sight while they caused havoc. Thankfully, some of the victims had dutifully recorded the host addresses of the offenders, so it could be determined that two members currently in the channel were the culprits. I decided to leave the channel but re-enter as a guest, in an effort to catch them in the act. Instead, all I saw were slurs against me, alone worthy of a banning.

It was sad to have to ban members whom I never would have expected to take part in such recklessness, and also whom I was quite fond of. But, as the late Naxos recently proved to us, boredom brings out the worst in people. He filled the boards with offensive remarks about Abe Babe's appearance, and also calling me fag-boy repeatedly. I fiercely defended Abe Babe, which obviously went unnoticed.

As far as warnings go, I didn't feel a warning was necesary in this instance. These members knew exactly what they were doing, and I judged they should pay the consequences. Regardless of what Alcar thinks should be the procedures for banning, it's up to the sole discretion of the Administrator whom he or she bans.

Kristen, Justin and Alcar, I've never been more disappointed with a group of people before in my life. If you thought there was a problem, then surely you could have discussed it with me privately rather than attempting to humiliate me. Kristen, I always thought we were the best of friends, and I still think you're a kind person. It's a crying shame you have been woven into this, I understand you have been placed in a compromising situation, but I doubt I'll ever be able to fully comprehend why you did it. Perhaps the reality of meeting Justin and Alcar has created the illusion that you're a "dream team" and you find it impossible to stand up to their ideas.
