i have a new problem, its with people in the chat who were given (rather recently) the operator power, its really quite annoying to watch everyone just OPing and DEOPing everyone rather than talking, so could we just all please stop the madness?
everyone got mad at me earlier today when i stripped everyone (including myself) of operator status, am i the only one that sees that op status is just a stupid thing that everyone needs to just quit playing with? please this is a post to everyone, just stop the nonsense and lets get back to the real point of the chat, talking about all sorts of topics with the cool people of this forum -------------------- "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind" Gahndi

YAY!! shes called yodel and lives in my computer case i do in fact also have cult of my own, its the -ness cult so join so that we can spite those -ish barbarians i have a acid bunny that gives me trips and trips to las vegas... his name is Dr Gonzo and i need to rent a convertable... i am a proud member of the mr SB death cult and i have the smitemaster to prove it i have seized craziness as a minion, i dont care what she grumbles and such, i seized her and i dont see anything in the geneva convention otherwise im writing alot now, so be happy you know alot about what great humanitarian efforts i have made in this forum! also, go to My blog |

I agree racin, I've been in enough chatrooms where this sort of thing tears groups apart. So I'd rather not have operator status (I'm just trying to figure out how to take it off)

I think it's kinda fun, except the booting.
If it weren't for the booting it'd be all gravy. If I were in higher spirits I might not even mind the booting, especially since I haven't been booted or booted anyone myself. I only condone booting of people who boot. |

As such, we were struck with a sense of overwhelming power, and have spent a lot of time booting each other out of chat. The novelty has indeed worn off now. It's been ages since the last booting... -------------------- the end is nice |

Actually, it's a really old quote.
Lord Acton, in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." |
