Rutab

almost 11 years

The first time he was a mod, way back when in the he was pretty much my go-to example of everything wrong with the mod team. I felt like he would respond to reasonable critiscisms and inquiries by resorting to to ad hominem and a lol2bad4u attitude without so much as taking the time to understand properly the topic of discussion.

I didn't like him very much, and I was rather miffed when he was remodded.

Then something odd started happening: I found myself agreeing with Rutab's posts from time to time.. and even when I didn't, they still seemed like good, thoughtful posts. I started noticing that his presence on the forums, particularly as it pertains to sensitive issues had become the calm and respectful voice of reason I always wanted to expect from the mod team. On top of that, it may just be that I've been on this site for too long but it also seems like he's more funny now.

I just thought I'd share this anecdote as a reminder that people can grow and change for the better, and that every now and then we should give them the opportunity that I myself probably never would have given Rutab.

well...

Rutab is, and will always be a cow

I don't want to talk about the report here because it isn't really the place but I think the whole situation could have been easily avoided by all parties involved =)

exactly what was to be avoided

Spamming.

Literally everyone involved with that report is pretty low quality.

Well, to be fair, you fit right along with "low quality" lately =)

Low quality is usually all it takes on epicmafia.com to be fair.

I was mainly just trying to bait you but you didn't really fall for it which was mildly disappointing but that's OK.

petition to forum ban empire and shivv pls

I don't see the need to ban Shivv. May as well just get rid of Empire without following precedent. He serves no beneficial purpose to anyone.

seeing shivv on the forums just automatically makes me cringe

princess to the public but a freak when its time
