it's called satire kids, really moronic satire I'll confess.. but. Read my replies in the context of a lot of the other innocuous "whats your favourite colo..." or why I'm I bothering?
Sorry if I offended anyone, I'm just pissing around.

okay.
now, before i start... i'd just like to offer my apologies for not being as good of a moderator as i probably should be. so, sorry everyone. i've been caught up in biting my tongue (or stopping my fingers, more accurately) when there's any slight 'drama' on here because i worry that when i step in, i'll be accused of being a 'nazi' or stopping your right to free speech. (or, when i don't do anything at all, i get called boring and a smug bitch. i can't win with you people.) but there comes a point where enough is enough, and this kind of behaviour shouldn't be tolerated any longer. now is that time. i am sick and tired of the attitude of some of the members on here, i've never made that a secret.
some of you are adults. grown ups. but you don't act like it. you keep pushing things further and further, all for what? i have no idea. all i can imagine is that you get some sort of sick enjoyment out of taking the piss out of someone on an online forum. which, to be frank, makes you pretty pathetic. i am just a moderator on one section of this place. i'm not a babysitter. i am not here to tell you how you should act to one another, and nor would i want to. but i would like to believe (i think i have just enough shreds of respect for and belief in other people) that you should all know to be courteous to one another. treat others as you wish to be treated, you know?
that doesn't mean you all have to kiss each other's asses, or kiss patrick's ass, or my ass, or anyone's ass. just. fucking. respect each other. it's not hard. if someone says something you don't like, don't make your first reaction a knee-jerk insult to someone else. better yet, if you don't have anything nice or constructive to say, don't say it at all.
this place is not a playground. it is not some stuffy little classroom and i will NOT tolerate bullying. it's UNFAIR. come on. this is a community, and we all came here because we are fans of patrick wolf. if you're not a fan of patrick wolf, fair enough, stay in the common room and speak to the friends you've made here. but don't saunter in to a thread for fans and take the piss. i made this thread because patrick wanted to answer some questions by the people he loves, the people that enjoy his music. i think that's really good of him, considering he's really busy most of the time. he's taking time out to do this for you, but some people have to ruin it for everyone else, don't they?
yes, i'm talking directly to josh. i did not find your comments 'funny' or in any way at all 'satire'. they were crass, vulgar, pointless and vapid. grow the fuck up, PLEASE.
with all that said... here's patrick's note:
he also added:
and i agree with him. i'm done.

I was also worried with that post that you meant you were leaving. So I'm glad to here you're not. And I agree that as a moderator, even though I don't expect you to babysit us, it is important that you and the other mods create an environment where people feel happy and comfortable to post. Also, are we allowed to carry on posting questions or not? Because I did want to post one just haven't quite got round to working out what I want to ask.

Because I did want to post one just haven't quite got round to working out what I want to ask. yes, you make a good point. from now on i won't shy away from 'issues' and i hope that i can still remain impartial and patient in the process. i would like for this to be a comfortable place for people to speak their minds and not worry about getting jumped on for either not being 'obsessive' or 'indifferent' , haha. but we all know there is a much wider spectrum of a fanbase on here than just obsessives and indifferents and i have to say i'm really glad to still be here cos i do enjoy this place and the dynamic we have. and you may continue asking questions, sorry!!

Yeah, the thing with this forum is there is always going to be very differing opinions due to the fact that Patrick creates music which covers a variety of different styles and there is always going to be some people who don't like the newer stuff but stick around in the hope they will likee the later songs. Which I think is fine and everyone should be entitled to their opinion but as soon as it crosses the line to personal attacks/ inappropriate language etc. it is important to have mods step in.
Anyway I will stop rambling and go back to thinking of a question.

The real question is, is this thread an early christmas present for Josh?

Post by jay on Oct 25, 2009 19:35:59 GMT
no dot, i do appreciate your thoughts. i've never been a mod before so i'm learning all the time, you know? i get it terribly wrong sometimes so all i can say to that is i am only human. the mods might get a lot of stick as a whole cos we appear to be the 'authority' or whatever but we are just people, and the fact that i can lock a thread or whatever doesn't mean i think i'm above anyone. it is just hard to know what the right thing to do is sometimes, cos no matter what stance i take or what action i take, someone somewhere is going to begrudge me for that choice, purely because i'm an 'authority figure' and all authority is terrible, naturally.
ok, and... continue with the q&a.
