<Martinp23> hello.
<Chapati> greetings.
<Martinp23> You probably noticed that since I've joined #subreddit, there's been a range of ad hominem attacks against me, stalking, and harassment.
<Chapati> thats because you are here only to threaten us
<Chapati> don't try to convince me you're here because you like us and you are our friend
<Martinp23> i'm not here to threaten you, and i like none of you.
<Martinp23> i joined with the (clearly expressed) purpose of determining whether complaints against the channel were substantiated.
<Chapati> then you're here because you have nothing better to do
<Chapati> who complained?
<Martinp23> Now, because I want to focus on other issues, I'm usually fine ignoring the crap and being, as someone put it, a "corporate drone". However, the point has come where I'm going to ask you to stop your behaviour.
<Chapati> i take back my complaints
<Martinp23> That's between me and them..
<Chapati> how many?
<Chapati> it was "corporate drone square" just for the record
<Martinp23> "them" singular in this case (gender neutral)
<Chapati> you're going to have to be more transparent
<Chapati> cuz right now your argument has no solid background
<Martinp23> though in the past, when i was last in the channel and resolved things how i prefer to - without having to use "excessive force" - there were multiple complaints.
<Chapati> i was the first one to bring subreddit to your attention
<Chapati> and the problem has subsided. the channel is fine. you are no longer needed
<Martinp23> You weren't, actually, and it hasn't.
<Chapati> although rascally on appearances, the subreddit crowd is really harmless
<Chapati> we just dick around with each other
<Martinp23> and other channels, apparently...
<Chapati> there probably isnt a single IRC user that restricts his/her access to a single chan
<Chapati> everyone goes to multiple chans
<Martinp23> on which you dick around.
<Chapati> i bring enlightenment from unknown worlds and open peoples minds up that better help them to cope with the future
<Chapati> in a controlled environment, this is good
<Chapati> if you have a son would you shelter him and then when he hits 18 send him off into the world to make the best he can?
<Chapati> because thats a good recipe for to get into a lot of trouble
<Chapati> having no idea what is out there and no idea how to react to it
<Chapati> we originated in #reddit anyway
<Martinp23> Long story short: harrassment of anyone, staff or otherwise, is offtopic. Staff tend to have a high tolerance, but mine is not limitless.
<Chapati> #subreddit is essentially a collection of the old fogies of #reddit
<Chapati> then don't call people idiots
<Chapati> that is harassment
<Martinp23> Asking people not to behave as idiots is not the same as calling them an idiot with no reasoning.
<Martinp23> If you wish to complain about me, though, you're obviously entitled to.
<Chapati> you said "I'd rather you generally stopped being an idiot" implies that "you are being an idiot"
<Chapati> thats fine
<Martinp23> to behave as an idiot tends towards being an idiot, in the instant is it happening.
<Chapati> that means having an IQ of less than 20
<Chapati> obviously no one who knows how to use a computer independently has an IQ less than 20
<Martinp23> depends on your definitions and terminology.
<Chapati> it was a standard
<Chapati> pluto is still a planet
<Chapati> i dont care what all those "experts" say
<Chapati> it is a planet!
<Martinp23> if pluto is a planet, then we must define the other celestial body beyond pluto, and its sister body, as a planet.
<Chapati> it could be a star
<Martinp23> right, k.
