Important news.

I saw the picture too. I'd say a snow penis isn't as bad as realistic tentacle rape. But that's just my opinion.

Concerning the whole Peter-Kishi thing:

First off, I don't think Kishi should be banned, as I don't think the image was that bad. But neither was Peter's. I've changed such an opinion as more information has been made available to the public. My biggest issue is that Peter, as I have grown to know him and enjoy his company, was not a newbie. He was a member worthy of becoming an oldbie, eventually. He was not an idiot. He didn't think his image was inappropriate, so I think an exception should have been made. I think Kishi's image was far worse than Peter's.

Staff members never got to know him, and thus never game him a chance here. That's my biggest beef.

How the bloody smurf did this turn into a thread about Peter? Give it up people, that issue was over so long ago that even WesLY doesn't remember it.

I don't know. But I sure as hell don't give a damn about Peter or Kawaii. This is beyond that to me.

Because the two are practically identical situations with very two different outcomes. And no, I will not give it up. I don't give up on friends.

NOTE: This is my last post in this thread unless I REALLY have something to say. Others have said what I tried to say and I feel that continuing to bitch is getting nowhere. *I am not speaking only of the people who want Kishi to stay, but everyone; including myself*. Make your decision and PM me when we have this thing resolved or something important happens, otherwise I won't even be looking at this thread.

No one's obliged to do that And since you're not gonna be looking at this...

I'm all for the side that just doesn't care one way or another.

It's been said, it's been done, we've all bought the T-shirt. Now, let's get on with our lives people...

Since no one reads these...

Welcome back.

According to many others, including ex-staff, we're not the ones killing EoFF.

Expanding on my "life is not black and white" comment before, I'd wager to say it's a combination of everyone.

This'll be the last post I make on the subject. Why bother? According to Staff, the members' opinions don't matter. Well, at least, that's what Shlup's said over and over again.

It's true. We can argue until we're blue in the face, and we can argue well, but we won't find each others' arguments at all convincing because we've already made up our minds on the subject. I just thought I'd throw in my two cents.

It's been said, it's been done, we've all bought the T-shirt.

Ironically, I was just thinking how someone should create a line of "I was there during the Kishi scandal!" T-Shirts. They'd make millions.

Kishi's friends: "a realistic sexual drawing with no visable sexual parts isn't as bad as a realistic sexual sculpture with explicit parts!"
Peter'sControversy's friends, and Raist: "A snow penis isn't as bad as a realistic hentai drawing!"
Now it seems the staff of this forum believe one thing, and not the other. Murder was the only one(I think ) who said anyone else would've gotten banned for Kishi's picture, and I recall him saying he was conservative on the matter of sexuality, (I remembered because he's from California and California is a den of sexual depravity) so that's probably where he was comming from with that. And the other staff members that don't agree have all quit because it's all such a goddamn injustice.
So the staff have agreed, or agreed to go along with the rest, that the picture was ok to post, so we're all going to have to deal with it.

I think that half of the active members should be banned, but the staff doesn't. I get along, and so can YOU!

[edczxcvbnm]

If the picture is okay to post then I would like to see it posted because I have not seen it.

[MecaKane]

Well not ok to post in the sense that they'll make it the new banner, but ok to post in the sense that they won't ban you, but they'll remove the image. Like what happened with a certain horrible flash movie that was posted in Eoeo one time.
I guess. Y'know, it makes sense.

The same way you can get around the swear filter and only have your posts edited and not get banned.

Everyone can discuss all the issues as much as you want, but I don't think anyone has actually pointed out to any of you that it works a lot differently than you think. The rules are a guideline and can be written over at any time by a number of different people, prominent members or not.

It's not commonly seen and it's not commonly done, so I don't think anyone besides the current staff and a few others know what I'm talking about. You're seeing it right now, and I'm surprised at the backlash. Do you all really think that no one listens to the actual suggestions and that you have no influence on anything? If that's what you think, then I think you've probably contributed nothing of any importance.

Everything and anything can or will be changed if it has to change, and, as far as I know, it isn't done solely to cause controversy.

I'm making this post here because it doesn't involve the Kishi controversy.

When Shlup says, "It doesn't matter what you think," over and over again, then yeah, I kinda get that feeling.
