I'm sure I have changed (with my "LVP attitude," anyway)- I don't need to ask other people about that.
In fact, if my behavior annoys people in any way, they are more than welcome to tell me that they don't like whatever aspect of it- and I open the constructive criticism with open arms. If I respect the person giving me the criticism then I'll fix the issue- if I don't, then chances are slimmer- however if they provide a decent reason or two as to why I should stop doing whatever I'm doing (whether it be just a small action I constantly do, or a whole part of my "attitude") then I'd surely take it under consideration.
As for "you should stop hanging out with HC4L already"- I wasn't hanging out with them to 'stick it to the admins' or whatever, I was hanging out with them because I found them to be genuinely interesting people, they make me laugh and are interesting to talk to. It's just a shame that in all my fighting for their rights, I have made a couple of over-agressive moves that have resulted in every single one of my ideas being shot down as soon as the name 'Maddolis' is read. I suppose I deserve that, no arguments.
However, I don't think I deserve a forum ban under 'Maddolis' for saying "one man, one pimp, one GangLord- GangLord my leader" in German. As much as you'd like to think that I'm a nazi, I'm not. Due to Australia's multiculturalism I probably have more non-white friends than there are non-white people that you have met (perhaps a little overexaggeration, but the underlying concept remains true). I chose only to use the words "ein" and "fuhrer"- both used throughout German history (and not directly associated to Nazis, hence me avoiding "reich", of which only the 3rd was related).
We've had some interesting arguments over the past year, Peter, I'll be honest and say that I've made some dumb moves, but I'll also be so bold as to say that you have too.
I'm a
strong believer in the freedom of speech (perhaps an activist within this community), and I press the issue yet again that I am not out to annoy or test the admins, however much it may seem that way. I'm sure if you dropped the whole "no tolerance to Maddolis" or other people on that secret list you mentioned, there'd be less hassle, less bullshit and I could just visit LVP once every week (the forums perhaps daily), enjoy myself like everybody else without being muted, kicked or banned for things I've seen (unpunished) daily for the last 1.5 years.
This could start by unbanning/muting Maddolis on the forums for something I wouldn't call a crime in my darkest days.
Thanks for reading, it'll probably be my last big post here- no promises though, we'll see what the future brings.
