*fires IGNORE cannons on Mikitivity*

What happened last night was the final straw. I am so done with it. Mik has done nothing else then flame and make off/topic personal attacks. I no longer feel secure on the United Nations forums as long as he is around trying to defame me and putting up others against him.

I do not mind 'strong' debate at all. In fact, this is what I do myself. But he is totally and intentionally souring the mood in my threads and this is severely hindering any ability for me to rationally discuss my proposals.

Let this be clear:
I do not want Mikitivity to post in any of my threads again until he has proven that he can communicate with me maturely and without flaming. (Which will probably be never.) I am asking the mods to enforce that rule if he chooses not to do so himself, as far as it concerns threads I started myself, by thread starter request, but I hope it will not have to come to that. I am asking for such enforcement because ignoring him will not be sufficient as he will still be able to flame me if I do not see him and the UN is all about convincing others..

If possible, I would ask mods to review the statements he made in my thread last night. They are first of all off-topic, since I explicitly requested in the first post that ‘fundamental’ issues be discussed in another link I put up in another thread, and second of all they are flaming. Consider also that he himself said he did not have any intention to help, so it is not very constructive at all. To the contrary, it is a flame fest not worthy of the UN general assembly. I am referring to the following posts:

Mod requests for deletion or, at minimum, severe editing

In the 'the virtual market' thread (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7004347&postcount=4)
This post in the thread about part-time work (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7005315&postcount=11)
Also in the part-time thread (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7004291&postcount=5)


If anything I said in my posts was 'over the line' I will be very happy to edit it as I realise I was equally pissed off at the time. Of course, a mod can edit it too if he/she feels so inclined.

Should these requests be denied, I ask kindly that the mods lock these threads by request of the thread starter so I can re-post my proposals in a Mikitivity-free environment.

I am very disappointed that it had to come to this and I am seriously thinking of just leaving the United Nations and all their stupid crap as it is clear by now that certain elements in there are just trying to provoke me into leaving.

Thank you for your time.

Stick him on your ignore list....

Yep, that's what everyone's going to tell you to do.

Perhaps, if Knoot hadn't added:

I think you're being a tad oversensitive. Use the ignore function if you don't like someone, we're not here to protect you from opinions you dislike.

It should also be pointed out that Knootoss has been indulging in all sorts of wild accusations and personal attacks on Mikitivity and others whom he believes to be part of some secret communist plot to control the UN. This seems to have been what provoked the above posts.

This is one of the things I've noticed. With such things flowing both ways, I'm really not inclined to take action unless I see some actual offensive remarks being made.

Although, I would prefer Mikitivity to refrain from posting in these threads if he's not going to add anything to the discussion. Following a player around to point out that you're displeased with their actions isn't exactly the most productive way of going about things, and is likely to provoke an unwanted response.
Just some friendly advice.

@ East Hackney, no need to delete the post :)

No worries, I just didn't see any point throwing fuel on the fire once a 1337 m0dz0r had already made a ruling.

I have discussed matters in #themodcave with the appropriate mods.

Myrth:
Even though we discussed this now, I want to make this statement for the public record:

I am not being protected from opinions that I dislike, nor have I asked for this. So much is obvious. There have been on and off low, personal attacks against my person for well over a year now by the anticapitalist gang. (The same people Mik spends a helluvalot of time with.) There even was a telegramming campaign a while ago "warning" other players for me. I know this because one of the people who got their “warnings” about me told me about it.

How do you think I feel about that? But, well, it is all being done sneakily. The ACA folks have well over a dozen offsite threads dedicated solely to flaming me, the player. I shit you not. A nice example is a recent thread of three pages dedicated to the occasion of my birthday featuring bad poetry mocking me and explanations to newbies of why I am an enemy of humanity in general and an enemy of the left specifically. You do not hear me crying for the mods even though these threads have deeply hurt my personal feelings, all because of the rules that protect their behaviour.

Mikitivity started his own "beer" free trade initiative especially because he dislikes my proposal, where he has written several SeOCCian rants telling the world why I am wrong and why he is right. That is all within his right. You do not hear me crying for the mods. In fact, I will probably support his proposal should it be voted on because the content sounds good.

However, I feel that not liking me is NO excuse to flame and purposefully try to ruin other peoples threads (MY threads) by turning them into flamefests. If I go over the line somewhere, then you are free to tell me and delete my post or whatever. But it is a poor excuse to use retroactively.

Therefore, I am very glad that you have asked him to stop and I am equally thankful that the thread bits have been split off and locked.

For those who think I should just put an ignore on him:
The IGNORE feature is useless in this case because everyone will read his angry rants and flames in my threads. Do you think people will like discussing in that thread I set when they read such things? (Or even support such a bastard Enemy of the People as I clearly am?) Just using the IGNORE feature in this case is not sufficient. I can ignore threads he started and posts he made in other threads without that bloody feature. This complaint is about him posting in MY threads, ruining MY issues. Not just hating me in general.

Therefore, I am very glad that Myrth has split off and locked the ‘discussions’. Thank you, Myrth.
