It means if lantz continues to treat me with no respect whatsoever like this (like he has over the past 4-5 months), and if he continues doing this bullshit without end, with no respect to anyone else, I may be forced to do something rather drastic...

[Elf]

Alice calm down.

I think Satoshi nicknamed one of the multiple dimensions he traveled in "The Vampire Dimension" because he probably met up with a lot of vampires in it.

Sorry, but being an admin does not entitle you to any more respect than anyone else, not on any forum owned by me anyway. Lantz has to listen to you in your admin role, yes, but being an admin does not give you any special privileges when it comes to normal discussions. Lantz is fully entitled to ignore you and he's fully entitled to dislike your opinion. The fact that you consider what he said objectionable only if it applies to you means it cannot be objectionable at all.

I figured that was the case too?

Satoshi has terrible naming sense, but that's besides the point.

Also, can we all try and keep our moods cool?

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, that seems likely, although I'm not sure why that would be the case....

[lantzblades]

Actually Satoshi didn't name it. Just to correct that misconception

[YOLF]

I suppose "vampire dimension" is just his offhand way of referring to the place then?

Sorry... This whole thing's been eating at me for the past week.

Mike, he's treated me with no damn respect period, and you damn well know it. He'd be treating me the same damn way whether I was an admin or not. So it's kind of irrelevant, but it'd help if, you know, I could at least have some damn respect from him from at least that fact alone instead of him treating me (and a lot of other people too) like shit and causing mess after mess after mess after mess on these forums for 4-5 months.

[lantzblades]

It's one of three, that's why he said a and not the. Although it is named the vampire dimension in the index, he just didn't name it that.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

...Then why the fuck is it called the vampire dimension?

And Mike - the fact that he can blatantlly insult the moderation staff and ignore their mandates is a bad thing for the health of the forum. If Lantz can do shit that would, in any other forum get him banned (Extreme disrespect to the community at large, ignoring moderation requests, and oh so much more) without consequence, it sends a bad message. There should be consequences to his pretty blatant disrespect of multiple users, myself and Alice included.

Seriously. He violates the first rule of this forum like fucking clockwork with his RP posts and posts like this, his general attitude towards criticism and more.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Indexes are usually at least a little professional sounding. Vampire dimension, while perhaps a fitting name for a subsection for dimensions ruled by vampires directly or otherwise, is not professional sounding in the least when referring to a singular dimension.

It instead sounds incredibly silly, and makes one doubt if this index is written by a child.

Just airing the general(from what I gathered) grievance at the name.

Oh yeah, happy new year's everyone!

Magos, by the same logic I deserve to be banned from BL and pretty much every other forum I have been on. I am not a hypocrite and I will not expect others to act as I myself do not.

And, frankly, if you're talking about banning people for disrespect you would be the first to go, given your attitude to Lantz (and to me on occasion). You show him far more disrespect than he shows to anyone else.

[YOLF]

I'm confused. If he didn't name it that, and it isn't a general name he uses for it, does that mean someone else named it that and he just calls it the same?

It's less direct disrespect of its own and more lack of acknowledgement of the warnings of the moderators and other users - which is disrespectful in its own way. I suspect if lantz showed himself to be a little more receptive, we wouldn't even be having this argument again.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

To be fair on the admin/mod stuff, when an official moderator demand is made (For example discontinuing an argument which is going nowhere and waits on the GM), Lantz usually complies.

Outside of posts where the admins say "Admin action" or "Official warning" though, Lantz just treats the admins as normal users.

Him butting heads with alice isn't him butting heads with the moderation/administration, it's him butting heads with Alice only.

No comment on the other stuff.

Oh, my disrespect is easy to see, and I'm not proud of it, but like Alice, mine isn't one that comes from nothing.

Lantz has repeatedly shown us less and less respect for simply pointing out errors, through his grevious offenses to the basic structure of flow and language, ignoring our simple advice about basic tenets of being a half decent author. When he shows us no respect, well, ever, and repeatedly ignores us because we're 'HOSTILE AND SLANDEROUS' or whatever else he claims, and even ignores you.

Basically, he shows us no respect, ignores our requests to at least attempt to improve, and seems to view everyone who ever offers him a hint of negative opinion on his work as immediately worth nothing opinion wise and as hostile to him.

He's really only harming himself through this but he's pissing us the fuck off while doing it through blatantly refusing to even make a fucking effort about it is disrespectful in the extreme.
