The Confession

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

Good-bye, Mr. Twister. I hope you grace us mortals with your presence again soon.

Well played, sir.  The Professor was one of the best accounts we've ever had.

Joe Democrat was the superior account.

But that was obviously my own sock account, not Aizen's.  'A Person' said so.

All the evidence available to us non-moderators implied that was the case. I'll admit I was wrong, though.

next time you make an account (and do make another account), notify me the Head of the International Posters' Union and we'll better be able to defend your interests.

Speaking on behalf of the forum to the banned hacks/unfunny trolls that may be reading this, please do not make another account, the International Posters' Union will not be defending your interests and will consider you a scab.

All those who truly believe in the goal of making the Forum a better place will.

I was right in thinking you and the Professor were one and the same! I herewith come to collect my accolades.

Aizen... I remember the name. Seemed cool enough, but I don't really remember anything specific. D-CO avatar IIRC.

Well obviously, "Joe Republic" and "a person" are Aizen's remaining active sock accounts.

Don't I wish...

The Professor was never all that funny. There, I said it. Hate away.

We don't hate you, Gustaf.....we just have to start agreeing with opebo that you have no sense of humor. 

Start?

All the evidence available to moderators was made available to non-moderators.

Please point out where you or one of the other mods posted that "Joe Democrat"'s IP was from Colorado (or wherever)

All the evidence?  Um, your assumption, you mean?

Well, let's see...

1) "Joe Democrat" was without doubt some kind of sockpuppet.
2) Sockpuppetry is a bannable offence.
3) "Joe Democrat" was banned. Considering the only bannable thing he did was sockpuppetry, that means that the moderators knew that "Joe Democrat" was a sockpuppet.
4) Nobody else was banned. In other words, either (a) the moderators did not know who the puppetmaster was, or (b) the moderators knew, but did not ban the person responsible.
5) (a) seemed exceedingly unlikely.
6) (b) meshes very well with the fact that you, Mr Republic, have a history of using your position as moderator to get away with bannable offences.

So, not 100% certainty, of course -- it is now obvious that (a) is correct -- but I am sure that we can all see the train of thought here.

Well, 'a Person', the fact remains that you and your assumptions were completely wrong.  I accept your apology, but in future, spend more time playing with your My Little Pony dolls instead and leave the internet detective work to people who know what they're talking about.

Assumption. Singular.

Relevant.

Careful, man, he might start a coalition against you and whine about your behavior to AH...

What's 'AH'?

alternatehistory.com.  Apparently when a Person didn't get his way in having me removed as a mod, it was too much for him to handle, so he took from the site and apparently started venting there about me.

Mhm. Here is the post in question, ftr: [fixed your spelling, also]

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Hi, MS! Have you gotten over your bizarre bout of Canadophilia yet?

Yeah, I decided to take a break from Atlas because I keep arguing with brick walls. (Usually AN &ilk, but the Inks/MANIC debacle gave me the realization)

I'll return either once uni starts on 15Oct or once I have a decent opening post put together for my timeline.

Speaking of which, here's a spoiler:

Damn, will I now be infracted for posting a post off of another forum or something?

As to the idea of starting a coalition against Mr Republic...

No, Inks.
I'll give you a nice, simple explanation why, shouldn't strain your reading-comprehension skills too much.
Imagine that the Atlas Forum is a benevolent dictatorial version of the USA. Imagine, further, that you, Inks, are in charge of a resistance cell. () Now, there are several officials that you could possibly be trying to overthrow; which one would you choose?
- - Most of the officials are doing their job, which is to keep the land a good place, and to get rid of people that legitimately threaten that goal.
- - Official J also does that (mostly), but has on one occasion planted illegal material on someone else to get that person exiled. There is also some general inksholery, but not really above the level of some other posters.
- - Official I, on the other hand, has tried to have the Smithsonian Museum closed, claimed that he could not possibly have foreseen any sort of public outcry (despite the exact same thing happening when he tried to close the National Postal Museum), and jumped at the chance when the Benevolent Dictator ordered all buildings of that size to be closed. And that's by far not all.

The choice is obvious, isn't it?

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

Except when the National Postal Museum was closed, Official I planned on keeping it closed forever.  When he closed the Smithsonian, he planned on having another Smithsonian Musueum replace it, since this is how things worked in the land, and there had already been many Smithsonians that opened and closed when one got full.

Mr Inks, do you honestly believe that just opening a new Smithsonian without, y'know, transferring any of the collection would fool anyone?
