The Truth

Post by Kelly Antilles »

I'm sure there has been a lot of speculation as to why I left SD.net. That is why I have decided to make one last post to finally answer all your inquiries.

I left for many reasons. Wonder all you want about me being a weak woman, but I'm not. When I am upset, it is very hard for me to put my feelings into words. I was ANGRY that day, so much that I just left without a word.

I know many of you think I have something against Zaia. You are FAR from the truth. I have nothing against her. I've always thought she was a very nice young woman. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer about some things, but nobody is perfect.

Tell me... if you were writing a story with someone and they took over the entire plot and suddenly couldn't write this story anymore but could write other stuff easily, wouldn't you be the slightest bit upset? I even asked him where he wanted to go and he couldn't even tell me that. Put yourself in my shoes just for once.


prejudice:
1 : injury or damage resulting from some judgment or action of another in disregard of one's rights; especially : detriment to one's legal rights or claims

2 a (1) : preconceived judgment or opinion (2) : an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge b : an instance of such judgment or opinion c : an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics



The prejudices of this board are amazing. Especially from its owner. Let's take the second definition for a moment, specifically c "an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics". I am from the South and according to preconceived notions of people from the South, I am automatically a redneck, at least as far as certain people on this board are concerned. Grouping everyone from a certain area and saying they all act the same is ridiculous. I could easily say that all people in Canada are dogmatic, radical nationalists based on the few people with whom I have had contact. But, I don't do that.


dogmatism: positiveness in assertion of opinion especially when unwarranted or arrogant

Mr. Wong is very dogmatic in his prejudices. I have noticed many times in debates where he goes off on one point and totally ignores another. He confuses his opponent with his large vocabulary that they forget they had another point. That's very unfortunate. Perhaps one day he will meet someone of his own intellect that will prove him to be exactly what he is, full of hot air.

Here is where I suspect all of Mr. Wong's "yes" men will scream. "You can't say that about Mike," they yell. "He is our God!"

To quote Bill Shatner on Saturday Night Live, "Get a life!"

How many of you now who are completely irate with my post actually do anything outside of this board? What is your post count? Do you not have anything better to do?

I admit even I got caught up in the "glamour" of SD.net in the beginning. I was a much different person then. I have discovered what lies beyond its borders. And, I have come to the conclusion that this place will become a bed of lies and deceit run by its master and his "yes" men. The day is coming when the only ones left there will be all of Wong's disciples. Who will you debate then? They are too weak to say "no" to Wong. They are afraid that he will lower his mighty hand and remove their existence.

You know, I finally have realized that Ted's nationalism is not as bad as the prejudice I constantly saw. It's too bad that such prejudices have to exist on one of the very few boards where intelligent conversations were carried on about subjects in which I was interested.

People change, many times for the best. I changed for the best, yet many people wanted nothing to do with it. Many of you need to change. For the better. Think for yourselves. Don't let what Wong says be gospel.

To those of you who actually got in touch with me, thank you. I appreciate your concern.

That's it. I've had my say, finally. I think a lot of you need to take a step back and look at this place. See it for what it truly is.

You know Mike, for next year's April Fool's Joke you need to change everyone's title to "Wonghova Witness" or "Disciple of Wong" for the day. I think it would be an amusing rebuke to this kind of thing (which actually sounds kind of Scooterish).

Yes, it does sound somewhat Scooterish, doesn't it? After all, it's easier to simply insult your opponent and everyone around him than it is to address actual evidence raised. Detailed posts on the subject such as this one went quietly ignored, but apparently there was time enough to write long posts about my personal conduct and a well-poisoning attempt against anyone who might post in my defense. Yep, that sounds familiar :)

There's also that weird complaint about fanfics, but I don't even want to know what happened there.

PS. the problem with changing titles (while it's an interesting April Fool's idea) is that it would be a lot of work to change them all back. Unless I leave out all of the custom-titled people.

Kuja took over writing the plot of Perversions of the Force, and during his long hiatus due to his being institutionalised, he had completely forgotten where the story was going to go. Kelly was very upset, because it meant that it was impossible for the fic to continue, so it promptly died.

Even if you got all the admins in on the process? Course, discussing this openly would defeat the joke in part if many people remember..

Sorry to sound contrary about this but this means what to me? A board member who i didn't know very well left the board after a hissy fit about North -vs- South threads. Who really cared? I don't live in America and i care even less if people are so thin skinned a board flame war drives them off. Don't take life so serriously, you'll never get out alive Kelly.

1. Her post count is over 6000 and yet she complains about people spending too much time here and not having a life. Honestly.

2. She is upset over a fanfic! LOL! Fanfiction is the lowest form of literature, even if the writters enjoy it--its just for fun, its not a like a manuscript was lost and her dreams of being published have been destroyed! Who gives a shit?

3. If she is upset over something as trivial and meaningless as this, then prepare for a world of hurt in a place called Reality. Christ, get a hold of yourself.

4.whine, whine, whine...I cant be bothered to present anything intelligent so i'll call everyone prejudice and then run home crying to show how mean you all are!

5. The fact that she posted this shows how much of a sore loser she must really be. Does anyone here really care if she cant handle "the truth"?

Gee, it's been a while since someone's called me stupid. Thanks for slapping me back to the reality that I'm "not the sharpest knife in the drawer," Kel. Everyone needs a quick jab at their ego every now and again, right?

And I'm sure everyone will believe that you have nothing against me now, as it was of the utmost importance that you tag on that last sentence to the above paragraph of yours.



Thank you.

"Lies and deceit"? What sort of lies? Do you mean Star Trek really would win after all? :P

And even the "yes men" discuss things amongst themselves and have debates between each other. It's not like every thread is "Darth Wong and Disciples VS those who disagree".

I haven't seen anyone banned for disagreeing with Wong. When did this happen?
How many of you now who are completely irate with my post actually do anything outside of this board? What is your post count? Do you not have anything better to do?
POT -> KETTLE -> BLACK

And, going past the "you're in no position to talk about usage of time" argument, different people have different interests. One of mine is foruming. Frankly, it's a lot better usage of my time and brain cells than going out and getting plastered, or going to church, or watching TV. How many "normal" people out there watch TV in a significant quantity? I hardly watch TV at all.

Just because someone has the time to post on a forum and accumulate a multi-kilo post count doesn't mean they don't have a life (unless you'd care to admit YOU don't have a life), it means there's something else they're not doing, like sitting on a couch and watching some fucking stupid sitcom written for dumbasses.

But hey, it doesn't matter, because this was quite clearly your "one last post" to get back at the denizens of stardestroyer.net, so you obviously won't respond or probably even read this post. Rest assured, however, that it along with my response have been amusing diversions, and I thank you for that.

Have fun wherever you're hanging around now, and don't mind me if I laugh in your face should you decide to return. Making "final posts" is just fucking attention whoring, and there's a reason Lowtax bans people for that at Something Awful.

I don't know where this comes from, either, a quick visit to N&P and to a lesser extent, SLAM will show that there are plenty of people here who disagree with other members, including Mike.
