I'm semi-leaving.

I don't mean for this blog to be pretentious, but if it is, apologies to those cringing while reading. It appears there are some that don't appreciate my humor, and that's fine. Sadly, it's mostly old admins. I seem to be making them want to be around here less and less. I cannot help my cynical, my sarcastic, my sexual or my dark humor. If anyone's been hurt by this, I'm sorry. If people don't like the mood/tone the site's been growing because of me, I'm sorry.

What happened last knight (get it?) was not okay. Sadly, there were no admins to stop the sockpuppet troll. What's even worse is that Ed and I joked around with the sockpuppet troll. From what I remember, and from what the admins can see from the logs, I did the least harm and tried not too cross the line. What I really should have done is say nothing, since I couldn't do anything to stop this one. Me and Ed did however discuss in PM the identity of the troll and hopefully the troll's been blocked.

After that, one of the admins snapped and made a quite passive-aggressive blog post directed towards me. No, I am not mad with you or offended by you. I'm offended more with some other users that commented that don't understand the situation at all. I don't want to be misunderstood. (Thankfully, most of the admins understand this and have been reasonable.)

The plans for the chat purge are over. It was discussed to be on Customs for others and it was also discussed for the logs to be disabled there. That's also no longer planned. The chat purge is over.

This whole situation isn't the only reason I'm semi-leaving. I've been losing interest in LEGO over the past few years, and this has given me a good excuse to semi-leave. It's only semi-leaving, though. I'll just be less involved with discussion and will not be on chat. I'll still browse this site, though, for images and news. I'll also try to be more involved with Customs/Stories, especially with my comics. If you wish to contact me, I'll still check my talkpage, and I've also given other contact info.

One last apology: Sorry if this blog is too serious, rather than the usual goofy me. It's hard not to be when all guns are pointed towards me.

I know this blog is full of apologies, but I think I'd like to apologize for this blog... I sorta snapped 'cause it all happened at once sorta... It's fine now. (for me personally, at least)

"From what I remember, and from what the admins can see from the logs, I did the least harm and tried not too cross the line."

I've read the logs twice (and it's a pain, so many revisions were deleted) and even if you did the least damage (I didn't count), I still don't like what I see. It wasn't just last night, even if that was the worst of it, it hasn't been an isolated occurrence. And that's all I have to say on that subject. I'm not blaming you. There is someone else who I think is the root of it, but they've been gone for a while now, so they aren't actively a negative influence. I've been watching the downward curve for years (and you've been only really been acting this way for months, so consider that) and I'm only just doing anything about it now, so I deserve some of the blame there too.

"One of the admins snapped and made a quite passive-aggressive blog post directed at me."

Hullo. :P I wasn't angry. I was frustrated, but not angry. Have you seen me passive aggressive? Take a look at the troll in question's talk page. My blog was stern and perhaps blunt, but no more passive aggressive than this one. Possibly even less, but I say that without looking at what I wrote. I just didn't name anyone because, even if it might be obvious, that would be more finger pointing than I want. There is plenty of blame to share. Different types, but it goes around. Did you know that other admins were unhappy? I didn't until BFN told me in PM just a week ago. It wasn't very public. There was nothing on the admin wiki. BFN did imply that he talked to you about your behavior briefly, but he was sort of vague.

"I'm offended more with some other users that commented that don't understand the situation at all."

I'd appreciate if you could explain this, since you don't want to be misunderstood. Personally, I would have done without the downvoting (since I generally reserve that for when people are being intentionally stupid or just plain mean) but I don't see what there is to misunderstand. I'm willing to listen though.

"I don't want to be misunderstood. (Thankfully, most of the admins understand this and have been reasonable.)"

Is that implying that I was unreasonable? Okay, maybe I'm jumping the gun there, but I think that we need a real discussion rather than speaking through tissue paper. Look, I'm wasn't trying to make you leave. I can be very melodramatic when I let myself, but it takes a lot for me to lose control like that. (Truthfully, it has happened more often in the last few months than before, but not online. Usually it is an explosion, so I'll calm down before I actually publish anything. Again though, I haven't even got to typing anything in a rage induced mood for quite some time.) You might not be able to control what you find funny, but I think that it is possible to control what jokes you tell, even if it is difficult. Thank you for admitting what happened last night, but things like this are giving me the impression that you want to shrug off the responsibility by leaving.

And that's all I'll say. The solution is for you to choose. I won't make any recommendations or try to force something on you because I don't know a thing. If this is what you think is best, well, good luck.

Sorry if I implied it was isolated. I think it all just snapped in this time.

Yeah, BFN did.

It's people like Nova and Nexus that didn't look into the situation and were just plain mean about it.

I think you have been reasonable.

Also, I am not trying to shrug off the responsibility. I've tried to face it with this blog. Semi-leaving is just so I don't disrupt things, as it seems that's all I've done. I've said in the logs that I barely use the chat anyways.

The passive-aggressive part definitely comes from you pointing your finger at me without showing everyone else.

My "Thank god." comment was directed towards the incident with Galad a while ago.

Yes. People like me who didn't go through individually ticking every blocked message in the chat log to read what actually happened so I could judge it for myself. That's not looking into a situation at all. And no, I'm not even remotely apologising for my comment. You all know the rules, yet this kind of thing happens every year. If that kind of thing happens again, I won't hesitate to block any offenders.

But yes I do agree you were the least offensive of the offenders though, the comment was aimed more towards the personal attacks than anything else.

True, but I was one of the main people directed at.
