Conversation with WesM 118


F0rever0zer0: dude, did you see the pic?

WesM 118: Yep

F0rever0zer0: hey!

F0rever0zer0: we're discussing right now in staff

WesM 118: Yes, I did. And I shouted a big "smurf" to BoB immediately afterwards

F0rever0zer0: yeah, i was "wtf"

WesM 118: I literally swore up-and-down to the computer

WesM 118: You and I both know there's nothing to discuss. ;_;

F0rever0zer0: i'm really on the fence about this

WesM 118: I'm not. I feel bad as smurf, but it's obvious

WesM 118: didn't that dude who posted a snow penis get banned?

F0rever0zer0: yeah. peter, right?

WesM 118: I think so. This is worse than that was, I am very sorry to say.

F0rever0zer0: i don't know why kishi would do this

WesM 118: Goddammit, I can't believe I'm saying this. I'm not on staff.

WesM 118: I don't have a smurfing clue

F0rever0zer0: staff is split on this right now. i'm going to try to stay out of it.

WesM 118: It's an obvious, but very hard decision.

F0rever0zer0: you would ban him if you had the power?

WesM 118: I love Kishi, but if I was an admin, I would have banned him immediately after I saw the picture. After I cussed him out on AIM for making me do so.

F0rever0zer0: i know there shouldn't be second thoughts about stuff like this, but he's been a great member of the community since, what? 2000? it's hard to put someone like him on the same level as just some newbie who walks in and posts porn

WesM 118: BoB once told me he'd ban his own grandmother if she broke the rules - back when he closed Bleys's thread against his wishes. There can be no favoritism.

F0rever0zer0: hmm, yeah. i'm still staying out of it.

WesM 118: Goddammit, if you bastards don't do it, you're going to force me to argue it either in LJ or in Feedback, and I would HATE you all very much for taking the easy way out.
