On other threads the discussion about how many cases you can turn in is happening.

The idea that there is a rule that you can only have 2 detectives in an agency seems to be a false one to me.

If you can access every detective in the agency because you have their password then do you control all of them?

I am absolutely appalled and completely outraged at the nasty, back-biting tone of certain people commenting in this thread. The last time I heard something like this I was delivering food to a get together of bitter old biddies.

You people who thrive on sniping at someone who is in an unfortunate situation don't deserve to have a place among those who are here for the love of this game and the fellowship of it's players. "Chro's Ho's" That one is so absolutely low that even a viper wouldn't touch it.

I stand in support and friendship to the members of ERF Team. As Rhiemma Moon and as Della Devine. Any of them who want a place will find one with us, for as long or as short a time as they need or want.

You took my quote out of context, but since I am never offended by anyone's comments I am going to go back to sleeping on my keyboard for the rest of tonight. People here who know me acknowledge that the words or phrases such as "serious" "benevolent spirit" "emo" "safest person to meet in a dark alley" "best person to leave my money with" "a barrel full of monkeys" and my name are never to be used in the same sentence, much less the same paragraph. I would appreciate it if zzzzzzz.................

*sighs* and now that my temper has calmed, I only have this to say:

Do you think that a city, an army, or bandits, or thieves, or any other group that attempted any action in common, could accomplish anything if they wronged one another?

I agree, Chelsea. I did not include the entire paragraph, and maybe you meant it as a joke. My only point is that there is a plague of unfriendliness going around, and I just think everyone should chill, and take a deep breath.

Yes, calling people "hoes" is rude and unnecessary, but I would just take it with a grain of salt. It is no more than some people who are using the gift of internet anonymity to be rude to others. "Hunt you down" just seemed a bit threatening when I read it.

Odie, I think you and everyone else should quit moderating someone else's comments and telling everyone how they should think and behave. Unless you are Ben in disguise, back off the preaching and the holier than thou attitude.

I really dont appreciate the personal PMs THREATENING me about who is noticing my posts. its a perfect example that only a chosen few can speak freely around here.

Nov-16-2006 07:45

Roamie, I would just like to address your concerns.

I have never intended to take a moral high ground, nor give off a holier than thou attitude. I am simply suggesting that people stop this useless bickering. The sleuth community has been split in two over this non-issue. I just want the drama to end. So there is no need to respond to a message of peace with more drama.

I do agree that threatening PM's are wrong. I hope you can just ignore them.

A message to everyone:
These problems stem from everyone not realizing that roamie is entitled to his opinion as much as I am entitled to mine and you are entitled to yours.

And no I am not Ben in disguise, I am just a person not taking any sides, trying to get people to stop hating each other. I don't see a flaw in that goal.

Nov-16-2006 07:55

While the goal IS worthwhile, Odie, sometimes people just need to air out some grievances. It might be true that the argument got heated, but it is also true that it has been a long time coming. I love Sleuth and the people in it, but that doesn't mean that I have to agree with everyone just to keep things peaceful.

If the next bit gets my post deleted, so be it, but I feel the need to say this:

I will not knock it off unless I hear from a mod or admin and I have no problem standing by my comments. In other words, whatever the OUTCOME is, I can take it.

Nov-16-2006 07:57

Let people say what they want. DAMN. There is obviously tension around here. Lets have it out. The number one detective and agency felt the need to retire his agent. Do you think someone who worked that hard would make that decision lightly? No, there are problems here in Sleuthville. Things might get heated before they cool down but maybe that is what everyone needs.
If you are too delicate to read a post with some tension, dont read it. Until I received a PM from Chron saying he was retiring because of the BS on the message boards, I NEVER read or participated in them. But when my friend felt he needed to retire about it, I couldnt see sitting back and keeping quiet. Things need to change around here.

Nov-16-2006 09:41

I respect both your opinions. I don't agree with them. I respect them. There's a difference.

I just don't think that a game like this is worth getting this excited over, and I'm not sure what you (roamie) mean about how things need to change. No changes can change what happened, but we can learn from it anyway.

Also (AndreaX), I think the mods and admin are staying out of this completely, and wisely so. There is just no reason for them to be involved and be labeled as being either a known sympathizer or a trusted collaborator.

I look forward to the end.
