I dont think you have been backstabbed. Everyone has been up front with their allegations and gripes about what you do and how you do it. Backstabbing would be if they smiled in your face and told you how great you are, only to turn around and bad mouth you to others. As far as I can see, the ones bad mouthing you are doing it openly and honestly. False accusations are not backstabbing. They can be opinions, false impressions, lies, or misunderstandings. But if they are dont consistently and openly, they are not backstabbing.

All I can say is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjnvSQuv-H4

They backstabbed because they did not say their attacks and notify me of them. And they gathered in a group against one person. There is no fairness in fighting with an advantage against one who has not wronged you.

That is ganging up, not backstabbing. YOu did not claim it was fair or not, nor did I comment on that aspect. Nor will I. It is indicative of a community however.

They also, shall I point out, leveled accusations against me where it was unlikely I would check. So not only did they attempt to attack me where I could not defend, they also need to have multiple people to try to take me on.

Erathoniel: I am serious when I tell you that you sound more and more paranoid with every post. You accuse the community of ganging up on you and stabbing you in the back. You interpret others' comments to mean that they hate you or are trying to plot and scheme on you. Why would they? Do you think they are threatened by your brilliance? Are your articles so definitive that the community can have nothing to say to you? You admit you delete comments that you don't care for, either for language or content. Yet you whine because the other folks call you on it. Just judging by your responses and your articles, you are displaying childish behavior. I have only been in this community for a little over a year but I have found them to be accepting and helpful, especially when I was new. I started out doing some things that irritated others, too. When it was pointed out to me that it wasn't the way things should be handled, I made adjustments. I didn't puff up my chest and say "this is me and I ain't changing"...because I am a guest in this house, and I respect its customs. If you are really so abused and unhappy here...indeed, go away. If you want to stay, expect that people will take issue with your immature behavior and your...whinning.

This is not a backstabbing. Believe me, my young writer, I know a thing or two about stabbing in the back...if done correctly, the stabbee never knows about it until the knife is wet.

My advice to you again, take it for what it is worth...try a little harder to get along, loose the "tough guy" attitude and engage in meaningful discourse. It will be more fun for you and us. Otherwise, pound sand.

Just stop posting so many stupid articles...

Even if you only posted one stupid article every couple days, they would not hate you this much.

As it is, I lost all my favor with this community because I flipped out when they threatened to sue you, something I wasn't sure if they could do but that I wanted to make sure they couldn't. After all, that's a doubled-edged sword. I wouldn't want to be sued by some blog maniac...

By the way, you should hit me up with some more karma for that. Defending you had the unintended but still practical side-effect of decreasing your chances of getting banned by distracting the moderators.

I sincerely doubt I'd get banned. I didn't violate the TOU. The libel was ended with Ock's later attacks.

In America, anyone can sue anyone for anything. That doesn't mean they are going to win, doesn't mean the judge won't yell at them for wasting his or her time, but they can still sue.

In other words, you haven't made sure of anything.




They can -- by the TOU -- throw you out just because they feel like it.


Let me clarify the standard corporate contract for you:

We, the corporation, can do anything we feel like. We reserve all rights.

You, the fool who stumbled into our domain, can do nothing. You have no rights.

Should, at a later date, some guy in a black dress decide you do have a right, all our other rights are still in full force and you still have no other rights.

Sign here and bend over.
