View Full Version : Explanation about Peace Keeper

Well, at DG's request, I am posting this, I hope you get a kick out of it. As I am sure several of you know by now, Peace Keeper and Xavier and JustWhelemed and a couple other user names have been banned because they were discovered to be the SAME PERSON! Well, for a little while now, PK was quite eaten up about a warning DG issued PK and showing signs of being disgruntled.

Pk thought I was in on this, that I was leading DG on to believe he was a bad thing on the boards, but I let PK know I also got a warning as well. With that in mind, PK tried to get me in on his private little war against DG. And tried HARD.

Well, PK was never able to get me to post anything bad about DG so suddenly JustWhelemed and Xavier pop up with inbred hatred towards DG. What the heck? Why would newbies have such an interest in this kind of stuff anyway, and what would they care about the board politics?

I knew that PK was Xavier, not because he told me, but because they were writing EXACTLY alike. And when PK IMed me one day and JW IMed me the next, both were using the SAME EXACT FONT in the SAME EXACT SAME PURPLE COLOR! They were obviously the same person.

So why did PK do this? I thought PK was cool, and the only reason I was writing to him after he got his warning was to let him know he still had friends on the board and to get him to post again, but I guess his root of bitterness was too great to overcome. So PK tried to rally me into his war against DG, to try to fuel a grudge in me against Dick. While I would agree with PK on certain points, I thought he was stepping way out of line, especially after I saw the Xavier posts.

So while he tried to get me to become bitter and angry to, I said, I had no problem with the warning I got, just the misinterpretation. So PK was alone in his war, but wanted it to look like he had supporters on the board. So he created Xavier and JustWhelmed to make it look like he had support (and why newbies would come out in support of PK is beyond me, anyway. That was also a tip off something else was up). I never saw posts from the other two personas PK was using, so I don't know about those. What's sad is that PK couldn't come to grips with the fact that 340+ posters have no problem with the boards or the rules and had to create his own support group to make it appear as if there was suddenly an uprising against Dick.

I've been on the boards too long to let a warning get in the way of my posting and enjoying the boards. And while we can all learn from our mistakes, I doubt that it makes DG a nazi or an ancient dictator who's come back to exact an out dated method of execution upon members of this board.

A moderator's job is to regulate the board. You wanna use the board, you abide by the rules.

You wanna live in society, you abide by the rules. Same thing.

In my opinion, DG did the right thing. It's his and the other moderators to make these boards as pleasant and fun for everyone :D Three cheers for DG!!! and the other Mods....:D

Pk's posts made me quite mad, for several reasons. In fact I was going to report Justwhelmed and make a thread saying I did'n think DG was a board nazis and if some people don't like the the rules here (meaning Pk's aliases) maybe they should leave. But the boards were down and I thought that would be overstepping my boundaries.

I think a lot of people were: Flash's defense of DG was still up the last time I looked, and I was also prepping one when the boards went down. But when they came back up the last offending JustWhelmed stuff had vanished and "banned" notices were beginning to proliferate.

So DG, with his usual impeccable timing, seems to have prevented a major explosion, even if one aimed entirely at PK/JW/X/etc.

DG is good. Very good.

Whoa fact kicks the poop out of fiction. That is one twisted story. Somewhat entertaining as well :P :D. Why would someone go so far out of their way to do that? Anyway, I most certainely don't see the mods as facists or tyrants. Heck, you guys are very egalitarian.

And I had no clue about any of this, just shows you how much attention I've been paying. :D


I never had anything against PC, but if you don't like the rules of MB why even bother posting there?

Of the many boards I post at, it's funny how often someone uses "nazi dictator" when they're PO'ed at the moderators, regardless of issue or subject of board.

I think the moderators here are doing a great job (Me being a clueless newbie, but oh well).

It's pretty twisted. I can't believe that someone with a grudge against me would go to all of this just to smear me, in attempts to start (as JW/PK put it) a revolt against me. PK is the only person I've ever had trouble with, and I hope he/she/it is the last. I'm still getting emails from PK/TW saying that they had nothing to do with this and they demand (yup - he said 'demand') to be unbanne dimmediatly and allowed back on the boards. You can guess that ain't happening anytime soon.

The reason why, I think, these boards are so awesome is becuase th emods actually participate in the boards. On othe rboards, mods barely even post or acknowledge their existence. To have a good board where people know that rules are to be followed and you have to respect each other, the mods have to participate. That's the only way, I believe.

It's true DG you guys do a great job. Just don't let all this praise go to your head. Keep humble or something. ;)


As for PK/JW/whoever if they're still bugging you why not just block their email addy?

I won't let it get to my head! I'll make sure of it! If I get too humble then bring me down to size! :)

As for the emails, they go straight to the trash now. PK/JW/X just can't accept he got caught and it booted. It's funny how he said he's "wear the banned sticker proudly", and now he begging to get back on the boards!

If he did get back in I don't think he'd like the welcoming reception. Some of us still have the pitchforks and burning torches within easy reach.

Hmm, looks like I missed out on all the "fun." Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who have nothing better to do than to stir up trouble on boards. Really, that's the sign of someone with no life whatsoever. And I'll second that it's great Mods participate on posts regularly... that way, you get to know who they are and realize that they aren't "Nazis" at all.

By the way, I thought Peace Keeper was a she? He/she did say that she tried the, um, "enhancement" pills.... then again, it's probably just some random guy who'll say anything for attention. Yeesh.

Humble is what you are if you don't let it go to your head.

DG is so humble he thinks "humble" is a kind of pride! :D
