... and this last post is one reason why people have a dislike for you Kramer.
Part of being a human being is not rubbing things in.
I have kind of sat by and watched the crap fly around the forums since your departure from DVS. I promise that this will be my only comment on the matter and on the stupidity that has plagued the boards as of late.
(For those that will surely flame this comment, most of what I am going to say I have said to Kramer personally, and I am using my in-game name in my sig.)
1. I was EXTREMELY pissed off at how things went down when you left DVS. I think Shinkyu screwed up in a major way and did not handle the situation correctly. While I stand by his right to simply ask for confirmation of sky point totals he went about it all wrong.
I also fault you, Kramer, for how you handled it. I have told you before that one of your biggest faults as a leader is that you do NOT take criticem well. As a leader people will ask for an accounting of your actions (ask the President). When people criticize the President for how he handled something he doesnt get mad and run off to start his own country.
2. What happens in your LS is your business but when it gets brought here...
Megamammy should not have used the N word, period. And I actually must applaud you for having a set of standards for kicking him for being rude and abusive. I also agree with Sophus that as a leader you have a right to have your favorites since most of the time those are called friends.
However, your set of standards should be fairly and evenly applied across the board. Whether or not someone is your friend does not/should not give them free reign to be rude and abusive themselves. Hiki and Segomo are disgustig individuals. I have PTed with them for the last time and from the respsones a great number of people are also offended by them. So why allow those players to stay when others are kicked for abusive behavior?
3. Kramer, I know you have great respect for Miriel. I think that is because you and I both know that Miriel is a fantastic leader. Take some pages from his book.
Leaders seek to hold together not tear apart.
Leaders seek to encourage harmony not develop conflict.
Leaders are fair to all not fair to some.
Getting 70, 80, or 90 people into your LS doesnt make you a leader. It makes you a recruiter. What you do with those people that come to you... that makes you a leader.
You and I have not always seen eye to eye. And we have had our problems with each other. But I respected your ability to get things done and your knowledge of this game. What I continue to have an issue with is your inability to control your comments. Yes, Jae should have kept his mouth shut and not flamed you at every turn as Thetrolley. But how are you any better by turning around and insulting him time after time?
Let it go... both of... all of you!
