Rutab

Arcbell
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...

If you were here for fun you would've shown you didn't care instead of blatantly coming out and crying about everything, friend =)

Well Apostasy has been critiquing us mods for a while now and I think Empire believes he's serving purpose when really Batman could do it by himself so I would say Empire is Robin

Apostasy and Empire are like Batman and Robin if Batman and Robin pretended they didn't care about the things they actually care a lot about

Your posts over the last few days have been enough to make me, and probably everyone else, realise just how much of a petty douchebag you are.


Whose alt are you? Should I care?

also the fact that he/other mods still have these monstrosities open is pretty pathetic. the community did the entire debate for them including reaching a consensus and giving the most reasonable conclusion. one of them was hotly debated but no longer is and is clear cut while the other was clear cut to begin with
