http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10114224&postcount=97 NOF has been warned by me to not call me by that name.

Here is proof of that. http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10047933&postcount=47

Plus…if you read my sig, you can see that I don’t like being call by that name.

When were you promoted to Moderator and given the authority to dictate what is, and isn't flamebait?

I would like to point out that I have had issues with him in the past, and thougth we had come to an agreement that we wouldn't post in threads the other was in. I also find his antics a bit of a double standard because he never had problems with me calling him that when we were on good terms, and he never cared when Camel Eaters called him by that name.

Well Hack, calling somebody Tranny would be counted a flamebait. Because of what the name Tranny means. It is a sick name, Hack.

We never came to an agreement, NOF. Get it through your head.

When we were on good terms, you never called me by that name. It was JWolf or Trans.

When CE did or didn‘t call me by that name, I did not see that he called me that name. I think it was in TM, that I speed read those.

Because of what the name Tranny means. It is a sick name, Hack.So transsexuals are "sick", hmm?

It's a shortening of your name. It's no more flamebait than someone calling me "Hacky" is referencing a small bag full of beans/beads that's used in a foot-based game. Just because your reaction is over the top doesn't mean it's flamebait.

It would be nice, however, if you'd stop using it, Nation of Fortune.

Aye-Aye

Umm...it could be me...but aren't you kinda.."asking for it" with a sig like that...


*huggles hacky* :p

Also while we're both here, why don't we come to that agreement, Trans? The one I kept mentioning, because I let it be, and you should let it be.

@Hack:No, it is not a shortening of my name. The only one that would work is Trans. Nothing else. Yes, it is a flame bait in many ways. But you’re the mods and say it is not, does not mean it is not flame bait.

One more thing, being called a transsexual is sick because I’m not a transsexual and never will become one. I’m heterosexual male and when NOF called me that, it was putting me and making me think that NOF was an (something that would count as a flame.)

Thanks, for making NOf not to call me that.

@Crazy girl: I made that sig after I warned NOF not to call me that. He is the only one that called me that. Plus…it warns other not to call me that, so I don’t go and ignore them.

Here is the agreement I want. Not that we ignore each other, like you want. An agreement that we throw everything into a little box then throw that box in the ocean. Before I go on anymore, watch Bad Boys II to here the rest of that speech.

Not back on track, we throw our bad pasts into that box and every look into that box or anything. We start out fresh. No more of this call me a godmoder or me calling you a godmoder.

Yes, it is a flame bait in many ways. But you’re the mods and say it is not, does not mean it is not flame bait.


It kinda does for this site..

And the sig actually gives people the idea of calling you that...

I dislike that agreement for several reasons. But I'm going to drop this issue, not post here anymore, and not post in any thread you are in. In return for this, I expect the same treatment. I am also adding you to my ignore list so I can no longer see what you have to say. From here on out, I am done with this thread, and you.

But Hack is just one mod and there are a lot of mods on this site. So...I'm not going to post in this thread anymore. Not going to answer you other part of your post.

I try to bring peace to the world between us. I told CE, that you would not want peace with me.

MODS: Kill this thread.

But Hack is just one mod and there are a lot of mods on this site. So...I'm don't with this thread. Know going to answer you other part of your post.

Its bad form, but meh, if you want to annoy the moderators, fine by me.

An observation - you cannot, I believe, tell someone they can't post in any thread you're involved in with any authority. It's a big site. People can choose to play/post with whomever they choose. If it is a thread you START, and you have asked they not post in your thread, and you are not baiting them in it, perhaps you have some ground to stand on - if it's in one of the RP forums. I believe it's been stated that debate/discussion threads are open to anyone previously. If I'm wrong on that, I'm sure someone will set me straight.

Secondly - Transylvania, you really haven't shown a very pleasant side of yourself here, so saying 'I told you so' when you've made such an effort to goad NoF into ignoring you is more a self-fulfilling prophecy than any failing on their part. Getting snippy with the moderation staff and ordering them about, acting as if you have moderator authority on the boards, and showing that your inability to see past your own biases is enough for you to turn something rather innocuous into the rather ridiculous mess it's become doesn't speak very highly of you. This sort of behaviour tends to invite ridicule rather than stifle it - perhaps that's something to bear in mind the next time you run into something you happen to dislike. Perhaps you'll end up saving yourself some grief, and instead of alientating people, might just end up making some new friends.

And last? It only takes one mod to make a decision. ;)

Its bad form, but meh, if you want to annoy the moderators, fine by me.

You want me to break it down for you. Reread Hack first post, to me that is smart ass question that a mod should never do. Because it is bad matters. That type of question would get you fired in a job in RL.

And then Hack said Tranny was short version of my name. And it is not one. I will show why.

My name is Transylvania not Trannylvania. It has one N at the front not two Ns. So, a short version of my name would be Trans or Transy. Not Tranny. Anything else?

-snip-

The thing with NoF and me is over. It has been threw into a bonfire. So, no more about NoF and me. And one more thing, when did I order the mods around? Never. I threw out my options and Hack threw out that to the mods Tranny is not flamebait. It is over.

Alright, I understand, but(no offence ment here) you wouldn't object to being called "Transy"?

People call me Dump, which isn't realy nice, but hey I'm just living with it.

Transy does mean two things, a short version for Transylvania and another saying of a transsexual. So…I don’t really want to be call that. Trans would be the best thing to call me. It is short, five letters short, and does not mean anything.

that is smart ass question that a mod should never do.
Mods are human, and will occasionally respond to demands ("MODS: Kill this thread.") and mod impersonation (("NOF has been warned by me to not call me by that name") with snide answers that include the relevant bits of truth.

You're being very demanding, and at the same time stating that things pretty much must go your way or no way. Frankly, if I'd gotten here first, you'd have probably gotten a very similar answer from me. As it is, we've had enough discussion on this topic. A mod has ruled, and that ruling stands for all of us. Issue closed. Move on.

Just as a final note: when I hear the word tranny, it's always been in context of getting one's car transmission worked on. This is the first time I ever heard it said it meant transexual... and given that trans- means:

Main Entry: trans-
Function: prefix
Etymology: Latin trans-, tra- across, beyond, through, so as to change, from trans across, beyond -- more at THROUGH
1 : on or to the other side of : across : beyond <transatlantic>
2 a : beyond (a specified chemical element) in the periodic table <transuranium> b usually ital : trans <trans-dichloro-ethylene> -- compare CIS- 2
3 : through <transcutaneous>
4 : so or such as to change or transfer <transliterate> <translocation> <transamination> <transship>
