Alas poor Yorick, I knew him Horatio. A fellow of infinite jest.

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |

I'll miss you Ruinel
 ...but I probably would have done the same thing SGH did. Shoot! What's she supposed to do?  She's damned if she enforces the rules, and damned if she doesn't. Ru, you had total control over this situation by controlling yourself! I don't want to rain on your parade or anything though! And I will miss you. Maybe, the situation could be reconsidered .........if you put yourself in SGH place for awhile, and thought about this realistically? Rules are there for a reason, they really do make things go smoothly.

well i dont understand why seh was banned in the first place, her little comment in the Abuse of Soldiers thread was meant ot be sarcastic and not taken seriously, if this is why she was banned in the first place it seems to harsh.
and the hole banning issue seems to be very shady. as the public of entmoot we have a right to know why are dearly loved fellow mooter was banned! (or maybe we dont, but it sounded like Runiel wanted us to know) and going from 2 days to 5 days to LIFE seems a bit harsh to me, but i dont know the whole situation so i should prolly shut up now.

I know this is all very stressful to the younger and the less experienced, never the less, this old man finds many of the highly exagerated reactions (here, and all around on the internet) maladaptive.

maladaptive?? i dont even know what that means.
i see your point SGH. but also, for all us restless younger folk who dont understand who Runiel was banned its hard to just sit back and watch her go. (does that sound melodramatic) SGH you did what you felt was neccesary in the situation and i respect your decision. but not telling the whole story and only hearing bits and peices of it from other ppl is makign it a bigger deal and making it seem shady, like something not good happened. well li mean its never good when someone is banned... okay im just going to shut up. (im sure im not helping the situation) *shuts up!* *starts watchign newly acquired ROTK DVD*

Lol, Eowyn14
 Well, I think SGH, bieng someone who knew Ruinel herself, doesnt want to treat this ban like she's wanted it all along. She's cut Ruinel some slack before, wanting to give her chances. It wouldnt seem proper just blurting it all out proudly

In Praise of Folly
I have to say that it is sad when people are banned from a forum, I have been there and done that myself. It sucks because in principle you are not allowed to post nor defend yourself from what people post about you. I have always felt that the admins who do such things should have the proper perspective and not take shots at the people who are banned.
After what I have seen from the attitude and way in which SGH handled the situation, I find no fault in her. The following is an example of a truly pathetic admin from another forum, that posted somethings after I was banned from it: Quote:

P.S. The Moron admin and I met in another forum and of course I ridiculed him to the death. Cowards find it easy to speak when you can't answer back.

Good Post!
I'm quite appalled at the accusations thrown at SGH for doing her job...

sorry to see you go ruinel, thats one less person who will bash canada, ill miss that
(no sarcasm intended)i think SGH was doing her job and while we all see it as unfair and unjust it has to be done, i actually like that this board is moderated with a bit more effort and its usually SGH doing most of it, if you have a job you have to do it and it was sad to see ruinel go but that is what happens also did anyone notice hobbit posting as capatain tarpols

 ahhh such a great thread, people posting themselves into a nice hole of rudeness and childishness (and should i mention sarcasm, i think that SGH in her bitterness has worn out the rolleyes smilie), and now i can throw rocks at them, goody SGH we may all be ignorant little shits when it comes to you and Ruinel, but we can all see the spitefullness in your posts it sounds to me that you think everyone should just hate Ruinel instantly because *shock, horror* she broke the rules  , might i suggest burning Artanis at the stake for her ultimate display of herecy, talking for her friend it sounds to me that what Ruinel had to say was not for your own personal benefit, but also for the many (and it does seem astonishingly large) friends she has made here, im sure if she only wanted to talk to you she would email you...
