Selective Hypocrisy abusing .rpt

[haggerty]

Do  you really care what he says? Squelch is still your best friend. If he doesn't get under your skin he looses. But it  is your choice. 

I dont take offense to anything really, but it is pretty entertaining to witness.  Squelching would cause me to miss out.  Doesnt mean he shouldn't be reported or punished.  Not all victims are created equal. 

[haggerty]

And, also, hypothetically have it be game-related, amirite?

No, I dont think every communication needs to be game related.  What's this line of questioning for?

Just curious where you draw that line of selectivity in what you deem appropriate.

Why would you be interested in where I draw the line?  Im just a single individual.  The line should be determined by terms of service or other game guidelines based on the overall consensus of good behavior.  Are you trying to determine if I'll. rpt you if you talk about someone that isn't there to defend themselves or if you say something unrelated to the game?

There was a spit driver, cant remember his name but he thought Bruv was his fighter pilot hero. He was very vocal, he was squelched often.

No, this is not about me at all.

Some unrelated to game topics like work, or a trip, you know, personal stuff one chooses to share/discuss is generally ok.  Some topics are discouraged, such as politics, or say, personal attacks, (whether game related or not.)

Was that something in question?

Capers is another one of those leaded fuel fumes addled boomers that ruins the game for everyone else around them.

200 when Cap is on is like watching Tiger King for the first time. At first you are like what the heck is going on to I am watching this to see how much of a shi*show can this guy get into?

Agreed, I remember reporting gldnbb for his nonsense one night, logged in the next day to find out I was banned for 7.6 days.  No indication from HTC as to why, no response to emails, no phone calls answered.  Had to find out on the forums that anyone that reported him that night was muted for 8 days.  I can understand trying to prevent mass reporting for no reason, but when you have access to the chat logs atleast check them before muting the reporters.

Same for about 4 or 5 of us.   No opportunity to argue our side.  It was NOT a mass report.  It was many of us who had just had enough of bb's abusive language.

Hello everyone. I’m referring to Haggerty’s post, in which he mentions 99Capera and 99Mule as Rook and Knight. 99Capera and/or 99Mule do this at regular intervals. The paradox is that he constantly calls me and us cheaters.

But that’s not all. 99Capera or 99Mule regularly turn up at our Knights’ place and stalk us from a range. Have a listen to this audio file and judge for yourselves. Most of the time we ignore him, but sometimes ‘enough is enough’.

And then he’s surprised that he gets muted

I'm gonna say this once, and I'm not gonna debate it after.

I own what I said in that recording. I lost my temper, said things I'm not proud of. I regret how I reacted. I'm not making excuses, but there's a reason I was that angry, and that part's being left out. I've been dealing with the same small group for months. I've tried ignoring it and just playing the game. Instead, I keep getting chat muted, eleven times now. And on the day of that recording, I wasn't even talking to them. Not on text. Not on voice. I was just playing.

When I saw that I'd been muted again, after all of this, something in me snapped. I switched countries, confronted them, and I said things I shouldn't have. That's on me. But I didn't just wake up that morning looking for a fight. I've been open about what I've been dealing with and the work I'm doing on my reactions. That's not an excuse, but it is part of the why. Listen to the recording. Judge for yourself. I'm not asking for anyone to defend it. I'm just asking you to understand it didn't come out of nowhere.

I'm trying to move on and enjoy a game I've been playing for 26 years. I'll own my behavior and keep working on myself. All I'm asking now is to be left alone to play the game. That's it.

People have bad days. We all need grace sometimes. Why does it seem that sometimes people just can't let stuff go. It seems to me that this has gotten worse over time, not better.

I remember as a kid saying something about somebody that wasn't kind, and my mother (may she rest in peace) stopped me and told me something I never forgot: "There but by the grace of God go I"

The problem is the group you've been 'dealing' with is just playing the game as it was intended, enjoying their time together and capturing bases.  You go off on rants becuase you are unable to defend, or unwilling.  They dont do anything to antagonize you, you initiate the conversation daily.

I need to correct one thing for the record, and then I'm going to leave it.

The claim that I instigate this daily is not accurate. I've been making a point of not engaging with certain people at all for some time, and I'm still being pulled in and prodded, even when I don't say anything. I'm not going to start naming names or rehashing months of stuff because that just feeds the cycle. I know when I lose my cool, and I own that, but pretending that this all starts with me logging in and picking fights is just not an honest version of what's been happening.

I'm here to play the game, and that's it. I'm going to leave these folks alone, and I expect to be left alone.

That's all I have to say on this matter.
