You know what? That doesn't do you any favours at all - it makes you look like a spitefully dishonest individual who goes behind people's backs to humour them and jest at their expense. Frankly if I was a friend of yours, after reading that I'd be instantly repelled, because god only knows what you'd been saying about me.
You can forget any ideas you may have of ever regaining any of my respect. I'm not going to be fooled by your act again.

Heh. Pretty f
ucking ironic that you’re giving me a lecture on honesty. Anyway, not people’s backs, your back because it’s hard not to talk about someone who spews out lies everywhere and then see some members swallow every lie you feed them.
Though I do regret ever playing along simply because it was easier and I was tired of arguing.

There's plenty of ways around it, that's what this thread is all about. And if you and your peons hadn't kicked and screamed and made such a big fuss trying to divert the attention, maybe I would've gotten somewhere a little earlier on. But it seems Ambi that as much as you like to take up your argument with Used and myself, there are many other members who are still very well respected who aren't falling for your shit, and I notice you're not taking issue with them half as much as you are with me.

Once more I find quoting myself as the most efficient response.

Maybe it is possible for there to be more equality on forums ... but highly improbable for there to be perfect and pure equality with no favoritism. But seriously, take a look at the members who seem to get away with stuff more, how many of them do you have a serious problem with for spamming or whatever? I honestly can't think of a single respected member who annoys me when they get away with something. It's because they've proved themselves as good, reliable, and contributive members and they deserve more leniency and whatnot.

As for the others, I’m trying to clear up things with them without pointless argument. I’ve never had conflicts with them before, so I’m trying to overlook anything that seemed to be a blow at me, like Shrink’s saying he bets I’ll be made a mod simply because of favoritism or something.
Speaking of Shrink’s post, I’ll also say the part he quoted me, saying “get over it” may need more explanation although I think I’ve said all this before. The forums’ favoritism isn’t at some high degree. In a way, I think almost all regular members are favored/get away with a little, etc. because they’ve proven themselves. If there was a high degree of it, completely ignoring all the rules for some and then completely enforcing them on others, creating some huge division among the posters, I’d make a topic about it myself even if I had the advantage. But believe what you will.

Face it Ambi, you lose this time. You're never going to be able to slow this whole thing down unless you turn against almost half the regular members of the board, and I hardly think a little popularity queen such as yourself would ever do a thing like that.

I lose? ...What? Sounds like this all a big game to you. Not that it’s a life or death situation, but still. And why exactly would I be turning against half of the members?

Total BS, you would hate it. You'd have to follow the rules and behave yourself. If you loved the idea of it so much you'd be more willing to give it a try. But oh wait I forget, your mastermind of prediction allowed you to work out in advance that the whole idea of fairness is 100% certain to fail.

But... I do follow the rules as much as any other regular poster can be expected.
And I do love that idea, but find it pretty idealistic. It’s far out of my nature for me to say “Well, that’s just how the world is, so accept it”, but really, I find OWF to be such a fair place that there’s not much of it to complain about. There’s never been a time when I’ve seen a respected poster be punished for something unfairly. But, of course, if there’s any realistic ideas that you or anyone else has to make this place even more fair, suggest away.
Kimon, thanks for that. I quite dislike golden showers, but I do miss the golden days that you speak of.
Edit: Mmyep, it does suck that everyone thinks that I'm all for favoritism simply because I don't think it's a big issue here.
