A conversation not about fan art

You REALLY don't know me, do you?

Why? Should I?

Do you know who I am?

I'm a GB fan, posting on a GB fan forum. Is there anyone here that doesn't apply to? Or am I missing something? Like is there a GB Pope on here that I haven't seen or are you part of the GB Illuminati or something?

Now, Because of your insistence on telling me just how irrelevant I am YOU have essentially hijacked a man's thread with your pompous need to show me who's boss. I recommend you walk away as the situation was fine before you came in here to try a prod Holbrook into cursing at you so you could show him what fer.

A bit of an odd statement given your first post in this thread.

Iain - I'm curious about something in your avatar. The sword, is it supposed to Excalibur and/or is it supposed to effective against the supernatural or is it merely cosmetic? I'm curious because I thought of giving one my characters (Kenji) a mystical sword that helped battle supernatural creatures, but then thought it might not fit well or wouldn't be something that GB fans would openly accept it.

Thankyou for that wonderful asessment of my character. I really don't want you to start swearing at anyone, nor do I want to exercise authority. Nor am I telling you you're irrelevant. All I was trying to do, was suggest that the statement “do you know who I am?” which, come on Bo, you KNOW was your way of saying that you're extremely important should be feared, didn't really carry much weight. It was you that decided to take umbridge with this.

Bo, you matter just as much as the rest of us. Which is a lot, but never enough to go round saying things like “do you know who I am?”.


Anyway, TAS I love your sketches, not so keen on the individual uniform sketch, but the facials are fantastic. Especially Venkman.

Regarding my avatar, yes the Sword is Excalibur. In one of the GBUK fics, my character is given it by King Arthur, the premise was that Arthur and his Knights were the original warriors against darkness and that Stone Henge was actually a Containment Unit of sorts created by Merlin. The legacy of defenders of the British isles has been passed down to GBUK. Vincent Belmont was in effect, our Merlin at one point. The sword is extremely light in the hands of those who wish to use it for good, and is extrmely effective against the demonic.

You stuck your nose into a situation which was ALREADY RESOLVED because you NEEDED to tell me I didn't matter. This situation had already worked itself and you just had to come in here to try and bait me into a profanity filled rant just so you could mod me and assert your authority even more. You know what you are doing and your insistence to the contrary just makes you look more like a tool.

There's a reason you're not a mod on GBHQ, and this is a prime example why. Kingpin tried this sorta thing, look how that worked out for him.


Sinister
Bo the reason I'm not a mod on GBHQ is because I don't post there…

Have I in anyway asserted mod power over you? No. As far as I'm aware I'm simply having a discussion. Just because I'm a mod doesn't mean I have to walk round being all modly. Sure, I should set an example. Don't swear, don't spam etc… but I am entitled, just as other mods are to be a member of the board. Even in my first post to you here I didn't threaten mod action, I was merely voicing a personal opinion that your statement had no weight.

The situation wasn't resolved either, as the comment I responded to, was you asking if the person knew who you were. I doubt youd have asked that if it was all done…

If you weren't trying to assert anything over me than you still wouldn't be in this thread CONTINUING to try and instigate something. You'd have just walked away and just let the situation rest. But you're incapable of it. Everything about me and the way I am offends your delicate sensibilities and you MUST find a way to assert who you are again who I am.

Not to mention the fact that you are CONTINUING to ruin this man's thread by CONTINUING to try and assert your power over me, whether you want to admit to doing it or not.

But ya know what? Just this once, I'm gonna make YOU look like shit. I'm gonna walk away from this one because you've ruined TAS's thread enough as it is. Since you yourself are incapable of just walking away.

Just so everyone knows, I posted this BEFORE he moved the whole thing. He saw me make him look like an ass for ruining a guy's thread and THEN he moved it. Disregard what I said about ruining TAS's thread because we are no longer doing that.

Ah HAH, So in your arrogance, you presume that the only reason you're NOT a mod on GBHQ is because you don't post there. But if you suddenly decided to post there everyone would fall at your feet and welcome you as a new mod. It couldn't be because your throwback mentality doesn't lend well to the atmosphere of GBHQ, no, it couldn't be that. It's just because your awesomeness hasn't graced them with your presence.

If you weren't trying to assert anything over me than you still wouldn't be in this thread CONTINUING to try and instigate something. You'd have just walked away and just let the situation rest.

Just so everyone knows, I moved the thread, but you two are posting back and forth, stuff's getting left behind - your last post, which missed the split, was tacked onto your previous message (which made the split.)

Also, Sinister posted his thanks in the old thread, but I cut it, because it too was left hanging, and I thought it would invite a continuation.

Thanks for putting this one down, Bo.

Cope.

You're a better mod than Iain.

Just so you know Bo, I didn't actually move the thread.

No I don't assume that if I started posting at GBHQ I'd be welcomed as a mod, but… Bo you can hardly say that I'm not a mod at GBHQ because of stuff like this when, frankly, the biggest reason has GOT to be that I don't post there.

You are definitely right about one thing. I do have difficulties walking away from confrontations. If an individual continues to confront me, I will remain, that's why I'm writing this post right now. Yes, I know it may make me look like a bit of an idiot, but hey. It's a risk I'm willing to take.

Can I ask you something Bo? Were you not trying to assert yourself over me by continuing this? If I were to continually attack you, would you just walk away casually? I know you wouldn't, and I know the only reason you've done it here is to make a point and to use it as a weapon against me.

Your essence doesn't offend me Bo, but I respond to things, that is indeed in my nature. Say something to me, and you will get a response.

And for one last time, my comments in that thread were as a user, not a mod.

You know who I am and you know what i'll do, You can't poke the big dog with the sharp stick and then have the nerve to complain once you get bit.

And you know that I too will also always respond.

Again, Bo. You appear to be labouring under the impression that you are above all of us. You're really not. Now, please hear me when I say, I'm not claiming to be above you at all. We're all just as unimportant as each other. But I fail to see how you can claim its ok for you to bite after being poked but not for others to do just the same. I am not scared of you, I see no reason to be, and that's not going to stop me from making a reasonable comment should I feel the need. You expect me to tip toe around you in case I wake the sleeping giant, but you don't do the same…

You have to understand Bo. That you *are* unimportant. Just as I am. Just as castewar is, just as TAS is. We're all unimportant on this board. None of us have any superiority over another.
