Ted: A Warning

jaeger115 · Post by **jaeger115** » 2003-02-09 02:43pm

I think Ted needs to be banned or at least take some time off from posting here. It isn't good to post if everyone knows that he has lost his facade.

I'm agreeing with Knife on this.

In my opinion, Ted's behavior of late seems to reveal him as a sadist. Not the mild BDSM kind, but someone who truly hurts other people for their own pleasure.

I say he should be punnished for his heartless behavior.

I was talking to Ewo, and she said that you were about to arrive, I decided to send you an apology then. I know it wasn't a good one, but it was all I could do at that time. I was planning on sending you another apology later on.

I also don't get how you think it's ok to have Ewo just 'pass it on.' You couldn't be bothered to say anything to me personally?! You told Ewo to tell me? What, are you in middle school still? Would it have been too hard to send me a PM? You didn't seem to have a hard time sending those out when you were begging for my picture, Ted. Why is it so hard to do now?

I would have done so, if you were online at that time. But you weren't.

One more thing: why did you ignore the other half of my post? Do you have some secret reason why you think I deserve to be treated in this manner, or did you realize that I don't deserve this and that you have no justification for what you said?

Maybe those people dont deserve my being mean to them, but then again, maybe they do.

WTF does that mean? What the hell have I done to you to warrant this, Ted? What? What have I done that can make your hurtful comments justified?

That bit.

I never stated you.

People like Iggy, who flamed me for no reason, they deserve it. You didn't, yes, but others did.[/quote]

If you think a comment like that means she deserves your malicious and hurtful comments then you are indeed a pathetic excuse for a human being.

I'm thinking that a week-long vacation might do you some good, Ted.

Ted, listen, there is no way for you to justify or talk your way out of the mess you're in right now. Quit making excuses and stop trying to justify yourself, it's not going to work because there's no substance behind it. Face the fact that you screwed up, you are at fault, no ifs, ands, or buts, and deal with it. This is not a time for pride or arguing, admit that you're wrong, apologize, and most importantly think and reflect on your actions as of late so this doesn't happen again.

I've suggested to Mike that he ban me, so considering that, and the general opinion, I probably wont be here for much longer. Probably good thing.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2003-02-09 03:50pm

No, I don't think a perm ban would do that much good. Rather, apologize to all parties, give it a week for tempers to cool, and then calm down and start to think before you type, instead of coming off so callous/uninformed.

And that is running away from the problem and taking the easy way out. Listen, ask yourself this, what exactly will you accomplish by leaving?

NO, that is the easy and quite frankly the bullshit way out of it. If you get banned, weather you actually ask for it or not, you are side stepping your responsibility of standing up and acting like a man and APOLOGIZING. Don't try to slime your way out of it with excusses and such.

If he wants to go then I see no reason to stop him given his behaviour.

No, he needs to take responsibility for his actions, instead of the bullshit that has come out of his mouth/typing fingers.

An apology from a sadist is a hollow one.

But I highly doubt he will. If he won't, and I see no evidence that he will, then I say good riddance.

And even more meaningless if it's only given because others are driving him too do so. If an apology isn't offered freely its worth nothing.

Knife, Stormbringer has a point: there's no way you can force Ted into apologizing for whatever he's done. Whether Mike bans him or not, all he has to do is stop posting and his problem's over.

Ted made an incredibly jack assed remark to Zaia. It was a horrible, horrible remark at the worst possible time and he knew it.

Partially. That was part of a large multi-front flame war.

Ted, look, Zaia didn't in any way deserve what you said to her. You can't justify what you said just by saying that someone else who is DISTANTLY related to her ended up hurting your feelings. Your behavior has not been acceptable in the last few days, and I think that you owe Zaia (if no one else) an apology for what you said.

It kinda merged with whatever the fuck was going on in ATJ and AIIF, and Ted and Ando threw some insults at Kelly as well, then everyone pretty much exploded for a second time.

True, but to have Ted come in and type blantent, heart shredding posts and then to have him throw out some bullshit excusses and get banned just leaves the impression that that kind of shit is acceptable. A statment must be made to dissude other from doing the same.

While a forced apology is not a honest apology, it serves to make a statement that you can not do the shit that he did and not suffer any consquences. If Mike justs banns him, he gets away scott free with his actions and attitudes. He already stated that he suggested to Mike that he should be banned, which shows that he already calculated that factor into his decision to be a dick. By being forced by peers to apologize, he is made to suffer consquences that he did not already pre-accept in order to be an ass.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2003-02-09 04:40pm

Further, Ted's flagrant anti-Americanism certainly didn't win him any points with Skimmer, Stravo and I.

However, a perm ban is not the solution, I don't think. It may suprise some of you to learn this, but once, on a board far, far away, I was once an enormous troll and jackass of massive proportions. However, I was bitchslapped and given a chance to reform. I did, and hence you have before the I of today.

Therefor, I believe Ted should be bitchslapped, temp banned, given a while to calm down. If he thinks he can control himself, honestly apologize, and stop acting like a dick, I think he should be allowed to remain. If he does not wish this opportunity, I'm not sure how we can force an apology out of him, so, if he wishes to simply leave, he can, and good riddance in that case.

And your gutless apology, which I doubt even exists, is simply another low and miserable action. You owe Zaia an apology. A real and direct apology not bullshit and excuses.
