See, this is what's bothered me, throughout this whole thing. You keep on saying you're nothing if not honest, you value honesty above all else, and you feel totally justified in your actions. But right after Rowdy's house blew up, when Rowdy accused you of doing it, you lied about it. If you value honesty so much, if you're nothing if not honest, and if your actions were totally justifiable, why did you lie?
That's the only hypocrisy I see, in this whole ordeal. Quote:

So while it is most certainly a lie, it was one chosen because 1) it was obviously a lie and 2) I wanted to lead the conversation down a particular path. Hypocrisy sure. But an ill-effective lie to get at another truth is (only sometimes) justified in my mind. Quote:

Sorry, but that's not what honesty is. Maybe you could try another word? "I am nothing if not manipulative," perhaps. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

I was stuck in void, so saw the TNT and redstone torch appear in front of me. Funny, though - you TNTed my house to get me to admit it? So you griefed me and you weren't actually sure I was involved? Now I DO think the ban was necessary - I hadn't thought the in-game actions justified it as of yet, but that admission changes everything.

Jack I am honest to a deficit.
I would not have lied if it wasn't clear I placed the tnt. Why would I? My entire purpose for placing it was to get back at RS for ill-assiting Brad's retribution. His knowledge of that fact was critical to cause him to think twice about doing it again. That was the goal. I am not for getting other people in trouble for things I have done....

Sure I would have - why wouldn't I? You'd said lightning wouldn't strike you because you weren't an asshat. Why would I not help to make that hilarity if I could do it in a relatively harmless way? If I'd known you'd gone inside, I wouldn't have given Brad the clear, but I'd have kept looking for a time when you were in the open.

Because by that point damage was done to both of our projects? And it was looking like the cluster-fuck this thread has become?
Perhaps I underestimated the apparent humor in well-deserved comeuppance, but at the time I wasn't finding any of it funny. Still don't. |

WTF? You volunteered that information. You chose to expose that piece of you, so I don't see how you can possibly act like you don't like that it's exposed. You weren't somehow forced to volunteer that information against your will.
I'm done here. This thread took a turn for the weird. We're not as stupid as you think, bobsky. (And yes, I know, you say you don't think you're better than anyone, rah rah, but actions speak louder than words, and you keep on acting like we're all idiots.) Nobody likes being manipulated, and I think that's what you're doing, with your little conversational "paths" and traps and games. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Why would that stop me from openly admitting it? The only reason I was hiding anything was because lightning randomly striking you during a thunderstorm after you'd made the comment that it wouldn't would have been fucking hilarious.

I don't think you are dumb, Robo. I don't think that anyone else on this forum is either. I think the level of expressiveness shown here is a testament to everyone's intelligence. I don't dumb down my posts because I know everyone can follow them (when they are well written, which is pretty rare, admittedly). I know for a fact that I wouldn't stick around if this place didn't provide some challenge in the discourse. I like it here. I like the people here.

The fact is that I didn't know how malicious your intentions were. All I knew at the time is that a fire was started because I was struck by lightning because you and Brad conspired to get back at me. I realized you both had probably wanted to deny culpability for *humor* value. But that failed with the 'he's open' slip up. Then there was the question of whether you would deny it because damage was done. Maybe I misjudged.

This is stupid.
Brad and Rowdy were stupid in conspiring to zap bobsky, bobsky was stupid to react in the way that he did, and turtle was stupid in handing out a grossly disproportionate ban. You're all stupid. Happy? Now shut the fuck up and get along. bobsky, I'll act as temp conservator to the atoll until you come back, but you are coming back. To leave MC completely because of this of all things is ridiculous. So it goes. |
