Locking topics is the exact opposite of trying to create conflict.
I don't understand why I'm not allowed to lock my own loving topics now.
it's not you locking topics in and of itself that invites conflict, it's
why. you tend to lock topics when a fair amount of people disagree with you -- which is, for all intents and purposes, not encouraged on a public forum. i'm sure you understand this, which is why it looks so suspicious when you deliberately lock topics
only when the majority of posters disagree with whatever points you're aiming to make.
I can't post the news?
apparently not without having to do very specific, subtle things purposefully designed to bother people, it seems. i see the patterns, the consistency of how intentionally trivial the news posts tend to be, how you start introducing the same exact typo in every post ([NEWS}, anyone?), the consistent, purposeful refusal to provide source material. stuff that's subtle enough that when you call it into question, it never seems like enough to build a substantial case against you -- and that's the point.
in truth, you're not posting news for the sake of posting news at all -- it's only a means to an end, and that end is trying to subtly annoy people.
Can you give an example of me doing such things? I can give you plenty of examples of people harassing me though.
Boltster kept harassing me until he posted research in my clan topic and then he had the audacity to try and say that I did it to myself.
tablesalt follows me everywhere and even bumped a year old topic to harass me.
Col burton follows me around to harass me.
Pie crust followed me around to harass me.
etc
she was referring to the drama on shacker and you tried to make it on nix because he formatted a thread and you said that he was being a hypocrite for no reason
there's a time and a place for pointing out people's hypocrisy. derailing a thread for the sole purpose of giving the OP stuff for how he formatted the thread, which may i remind you has nothing to do with the thread itself, is in fact, harassment. there is no point in doing it, the only reason you did it was because you wanted to piss nix off. and i can guarantee that, seeing as you repeatedly ignore this very point and insist you
must punish nix for being a hypocrite, that there is no other way!
it isn't your job to get revenge on the people that've wronged you, and
especially not on the people that haven't. just because people harassed you doesn't mean it is okay for you to harass other people.
