- f[2016-12-17 23:34:14] <--| Somecrazyguy has left #moderation ("")
- [2016-12-17 23:34:53] <Wildbow> Sorry you had to deal with that on top of a bad day, Yew.
- [2016-12-17 23:35:02] <Wildbow> Thanks for being levelheaded/more levelheaded than I.
- [2016-12-17 23:35:37] <Yewnyx> Ah. Thanks are unwarranted when I caused the problem to start with.
- [2016-12-17 23:35:47] <Yewnyx> er, i mean "Eh", not "Ah"
- [2016-12-17 23:36:00] <Wildbow> Not at all. Handling a mistake well is better than the alternative.
- [2016-12-17 23:36:26] <Wildbow> Not making the mistake in the first place is better, obviously, but I can still appreciate handling something well.
- [2016-12-17 23:37:58] <Wildbow> I... don't blame yew for getting frustrated.
- [2016-12-17 23:40:00] <Yewnyx> i am in partial disbelief that the_donald has come up simultaneously in the three otherwise entirely separate tracks in my life
- [2016-12-17 23:40:46] <Wildbow> I'm in disbelief and mild disgust that cheese pizza got even a partial nod.
- [2016-12-17 23:43:29] <Yewnyx> thanks for helping resolve, though I'm sorry that you needed to jump in at all
- [2016-12-17 23:52:39] <Mishie> for the record
- [2016-12-17 23:53:12] <Mishie> Not going to get involved with passing an official judgement or opinion until I'm more sober.
- [2016-12-17 23:53:52] <Mishie> But I do know that SCG isn't an idiot and does know the effect of what he says has on people.
- [2016-12-17 23:58:15] <Wildbow> That was my feeling. Ergo the point on trolling.
- [2016-12-17 23:58:29] <Mishie> Not sure if trolling is the right word
- [2016-12-17 23:58:42] <Wildbow> Ergo my point on not calling him an explicit troll
- [2016-12-17 23:58:58] <Mishie> Like he's not saying shit he doesn't believe in to fuck with somebody
- [2016-12-17 23:59:22] <Mishie> As much as he's saying shit that he feels is true and the fact that it fucks with people he dislikes is a bonus.
- [2016-12-17 23:59:54] <Wildbow> Yeah. And I can't help but feel like if he can take the person he dislikes down a peg by infracting them, that's a bonus?
- [2016-12-17 23:59:59] <Mishie> mmm
- [2016-12-18 00:00:06] <Mishie> moral highground sort of thing
- [2016-12-18 00:22:54] <Mishie> Like I'm /really/ not in any state to try to explain SCG or his motivations, but at the very least Yewnyx you don't need to feel shity about how you've reacted to him
- [2016-12-18 00:23:04] <Mishie> He's very much so going out of his way to make you feel that way
- [2016-12-18 00:23:35] <Elara> I feel like it's a pattern where he tries to stay just shy of the line until somebody snaps and he can get them in trouble
- [2016-12-18 00:24:02] <Mishie> To him, making you rage and give up talking to him is the equivalent of giving a logical argument to convince them of his points.
- [2016-12-18 00:24:08] <Elara> So now he's got what he wanted, and got off with a warning
- [2016-12-18 00:24:42] <Mishie> But at the same time, it's not him saying shit just to stir things up, he legitimately believes in what he's saying.
- [2016-12-18 00:25:14] <Mishie> Once again I want to stress that I neither agree or disagree with the things that are being said, only that I'm trying to provide context for them.
- [2016-12-18 00:26:11] <Mishie> Especially since most of the time I'm much closer to the disagree side of things, I just personally feel that SCG does have the right to make his points heard. Buuuuuut that's less of a thing when his goal (or at least subgoal) is to fuck with somebody else when making them.
- [2016-12-18 00:29:13] <Wildbow> Aye. I think we're more or less on the same page here
- [2016-12-18 00:29:37] <Wildbow> Was my gut instinct, sort of why I wanted to just infract both, shut it down
- [2016-12-18 00:29:59] <Wildbow> But then Yew had to go and be reasonable
- [2016-12-18 00:31:06] <Mishie> To me, SCG's goal isn't to fuck with Yew.
- [2016-12-18 00:31:25] <Elara> no, he just wants to win
- [2016-12-18 00:31:27] <Mishie> His goal is to express his point of view
- [2016-12-18 00:31:34] <Wildbow> More what Mish said
- [2016-12-18 00:32:02] <Mishie> Buuut, he is aware of the fact that his point of view, and that certain parts of it
- [2016-12-18 00:32:03] <Elara> but he doesn't respond well to having his views, once expressed, rejected
- [2016-12-18 00:32:07] <Mishie> Or at least how he words it
- [2016-12-18 00:32:19] <Mishie> Will set people off
- [2016-12-18 00:32:40] <Wildbow> SCG has expressed his feelings before about being really disheartened that, say, I don't agree with him, and I don't respect his point of view re: Trump et al.
- [2016-12-18 00:33:14] <Mishie> Realtalk
- [2016-12-18 00:33:57] * Wildbow waits for the realtalk
- [2016-12-18 00:34:10] <Elara> snerk
- [2016-12-18 00:34:22] <Mishie> yeah well it takes me a bit to edit it to make sense
- [2016-12-18 00:34:57] <Mishie> since y'know, not 100% sober
- [2016-12-18 00:35:08] <Wildbow> Ahh
- [2016-12-18 00:35:12] <Mishie> SCG isn't an idiot
- [2016-12-18 00:35:35] <Mishie> SCG knows that what he says can effect people, specifically, can effect them in a negative way
- [2016-12-18 00:35:46] <Mishie> usually Elara or Yew, since he's not huge fans of them
- [2016-12-18 00:35:49] <Mishie> At all
- [2016-12-18 00:35:56] <Mishie> Not sure if you've noticed, he's super subtle about it.
- [2016-12-18 00:36:03] <Elara> didja see his reaction, when he came on here and saw I had ops?
- [2016-12-18 00:36:24] <Mishie> wew
- [2016-12-18 00:36:29] <Elara> I honestly thought I was going to have to get somebody else to kick him before he dialled it back a bit
- [2016-12-18 00:36:31] <Wildbow> I missed that, Lars
- [2016-12-18 00:36:59] <Mishie> anyway, SCG honestly feels that he is being oppressed and that 'his side' isn't being properly represented
- [2016-12-18 00:37:19] <Mishie> And doesn't real0ly take into account /why/ that's a thing
- [2016-12-18 00:37:55] <Mishie> He doesn't really think about why people aren't agreeing with him, and are usually just agreeing with his right to say his opinion.
- [2016-12-18 00:38:10] <Wildbow> Is there a way around that?
- [2016-12-18 00:38:28] <Mishie> Just going to float a crazy idea
- [2016-12-18 00:40:13] * Wildbow waits for the crazy drunkmish idea.
- [2016-12-18 00:40:22] <Mishie> Usually at this time of day, I'm usually the only person that some people feel that they can talk to.
- [2016-12-18 00:40:56] <Mishie> Which is always superfun, especially after a long day at work.
- [2016-12-18 00:41:01] <Wildbow> You thinking Hierophant?
- [2016-12-18 00:41:08] <Mishie> Actually Vern tbh
- [2016-12-18 00:41:46] <Mishie> Like he's gone out of his way to come to moderation to express his opinions about things
- [2016-12-18 00:41:59] <Mishie> And more specifically, the opinions that have been brought to him
- [2016-12-18 00:42:37] <Mishie> Even if he doesn't agree with those people, he'll come here so that instead of people complaining in private, they'll instead bring their problems forward so that they can be resolved.
- [2016-12-18 00:43:01] <Mishie> tl;dr feeltheVern
- [2016-12-18 00:43:23] <Elara> Vern's been pretty constructive lately
- [2016-12-18 00:43:28] <Gundor> Vern confuses me sometimes <_<
- [2016-12-18 00:43:29] <Mishie> Like if people want to come to him with problems, and he wants to try to solve them
- [2016-12-18 00:43:32] <Mishie> Let him
- [2016-12-18 00:43:49] <Wildbow> Probably because sometimes it's vern talking and sometimes he's a mouthpiece for other complaints, Gun?
- [2016-12-18 00:44:21] <Mishie> Vern is already helping out the community
- [2016-12-18 00:44:28] <Gundor> maybe
- [2016-12-18 00:44:34] <Mishie> He's already trying to keep the peace and make people who would cause shit chill
- [2016-12-18 00:44:43] <Gundor> oh I don't have a problem with Vern
- [2016-12-18 00:45:01] <Gundor> I'm just noting that my mental model of Vern has high uncertainties
- [2016-12-18 00:45:04] <Gundor> >_>
- [2016-12-18 00:45:51] <Wildbow> He's been vocal elsewhere about the turn the server has taken. I just worry about the sorta thing that happened when SCG was a mod, where I logged in once or twice and he'd taken action I didn't agree with - course correcting?
- [2016-12-18 00:46:19] <Mishie> Well
- [2016-12-18 00:46:35] <Mishie> Vern is slightly less of a True Believer than SCG
- [2016-12-18 00:47:01] <Gundor> My higher levels of uncertainty are regarding what Vern actually believes :$
- [2016-12-18 00:47:10] <Mishie> like he can certainty be a bit blunt
- [2016-12-18 00:47:18] <Mishie> slightly
- [2016-12-18 00:47:24] <Mishie> But he can also be chill to people
- [2016-12-18 00:47:54] <Mishie> I feel that making him hold to the standard of a moderation team member would also help with that
- [2016-12-18 00:50:10] <Wildbow> Will mull it over. Gonna sleep for now. You enjoy your drinking. Yew can lick his wounds. Lars can do British things, I dunno what they're up to. We can reconvene at a later point? Or you guys discuss and I'll get caught up.
- [2016-12-18 00:50:33] <Elara> I'm at mini-Christmas with my partner and her mum
- [2016-12-18 00:50:35] <Mishie> All done with drinks for now, saving the rest for WD with teller tommorow
- [2016-12-18 00:50:37] <Mishie> well
- [2016-12-18 00:50:42] <Mishie> later today at this point
- [2016-12-18 00:50:52] <Elara> likely to be in and out over the rest of the day
- [2016-12-18 00:51:46] =-= Wildbow is now known as wildsleep
