Seanachai Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Sorry, you lot of stupid buggers, but I've had to take on the role of Advocate. You need to go out onto the Shock Force Forum and post on my 'Grog Dorosh' thread. I think you should. We are a Community of Equals, after all. If you don't choose to have a say, who cares what you have to say, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least dodging rocks with your head was sort of interesting. My advice, get a canoe. You can hang a motor on the back and there's plenty of room for the keg.

Papa Khann Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Originally posted by Seanachai: THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! splashing of holy water Well, I do feel a power, and it does compel me. Not sure about the Christ part though. So what's next? You adorn yourself with garlic and try to shine the reflection from a silver cross into my eyes whenever you see me coming? You start taking pot shots at me with silver bullets? (Not entirely impossible, given the number of arms available at dalem's, but the odds you'd ever hit anything you were aiming at is, as they say, "slight".) You can run, old man. In fact, I think it's kind of cute when you try. It entertains me to see you staggering about, tipping over, then blurting out indecencies. (So it's got that going for it, which is nice.) But we both know you can't hide, Seanachai. Papa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanachai Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 So, it has then come to naught. My attempt to redeem Grog Dorosh must be set at naught. While I had hoped for it to go more pages, after the last 7 years in this country I wasn't surprised to see it shut down at 2. Two was pretty fair. Pity the turnout involved so many lame-arsed suck-ups I've never even fecking heard of, chiming in to say that 'most certainly those in power know what is best for us all, and everyone should tuck their cap under their arm and sing some sort of buggered anthem.' YK2, the Once and Future Queen: If I only ever speak up for people I like, or who I think like me, or support me, then what have I become? I did not think Grog Dorosh was being treated fairly. I felt that he was being held to a standard that many, many others have been held to, and they, too, were found wanting. But he was banned, and they were not. Or, if they were, they were allowed to return, after doing penance. Unlike many here, I, myself, have been banned. Totally deserved it, no questions, and I wouldn't not have done it. I was, frankly, amazed at the people who emailed me to tell me that they were sorry I'd been banned. Some of them I didn't really like, and I was bemused to find they thought my postings were worth the trouble, given that all I do is rant, rail, satirize and occasionally do a jolly singsong. When you join a community, you can take one of two paths. You can either insist that it conform to the parameters that you find acceptable, tenaciously pursuing and routing out every variation from what you regard as 'truth, beauty and The Holy Church of Yourself', and, if you can't bring it into line with your sense of self, you leave. Or you can put up with the warts, acknowledging your own, making what peace you can with those aspects you will never change, have a silent moment to contemplate how right you are, and, when you find someone you think is a complete fecking twat, either ignore them, or adapt your satire to take their stupidity into account. These Forums were, for me, an incredible learning experience. I would like to think that, despite backsliding, personal prejudices, self-satisfaction and certainty, that learned a lot. One of the things I learned was that, although I am probably the smartest son of a bitch in North America today, wise, caring and informed, I don't know everything. And that, although I very often come close to knowing everything, I didn't know everything that everyone else knows. And that, unless I was willing to take up the self-righteous, posturing stance of a ****head, I simply couldn't speak for everyone in the world. I would prefer, I think, not to do that. But it is, as they say, in my nature. If I was to be suddenly made all-powerful, I can't vouch for flowers and waffles for everyone. Some, quite possibly, would suffer a ****-rain of justice and judgement. But generally speaking, I'm one of those people you see in the movies in a train yard, lost, disheveled, trying to find the ones they love before they're all deported to somewhere where the Powers That Be will subject them to incessant brutality, oppression and indifference. So, while I might like to stand on a mountain-top and smite everyone who's ever done me wrong or angered me with vengeance, I find it easier and, perhaps, better, to stand by a river and throw in a flower. In the case of Grog Dorosh it might be a rather tatty flower. But I will throw a flower. After all, it was up to me to make him a better Grog Dorosh. And if he was never going to be other than a fecking idiot? Then why should I ever worry about what he thought, or said? He was mine to redeem. If he was lost, it was not for lack of the hand I held out to him. We have this whole, new, marvelous medium of interaction in our hands. It's called the Internet. It sucks. I've watched my nation, day by day, year by year, sink further and further into divisiveness and stupidity. What am I to make of it all? I will tell you what I chose to make of the banning of Grog Dorosh: Every voice should be heard. When that voice is ugly, and pursues a personal vendetta, it must be censured. But before any voice is ever made to go still, forever, it should be allowed the opportunity of apology, and redemption. I did not see that option being offered here. What is that old saw? Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Kommunist. Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat. Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten, habe ich nicht protestiert; ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter. Als sie die Juden holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Jude. I accuse no one of anything. I may, in fact, be a man speaking in a bad cause. But I will not choose not to speak, for all that. Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte [ May 11, 2008, 01:48 AM: Message edited by: Seanachai ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Alas poor Dorosh, I knew him well...... what that really means to say is that it would be nice to hold his skull in my hands one day and then punt it between the goal posts of some forgotten sports field only to leave it lying forgotten in the tall grass until one day a mouse decides to take up residence in the cranium until, after several months of crapping in the nasal cavity it decides to leave due to the smell.....the end.

Joe Shaw Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Seanachai, I'd recommend that you consider further editing of the above post. Remember, as a wise man once said "An Orange Moose Never Bugles In A Snowstorm" ... no wait, that's not relevant is it ... true but not relevant.
