Yes I did, thank you Danny - although after what I did to Moniker, I am not such a good Mother Eliana.

Nah, he had to be reminded where the authority lies even though I am incompetent to the post.
his hatred should've been done through PMs and not in public, he was disrespecting our rules and i just became sassy over him
you did the right thing

don't punish yourself for what you did. someone had to deal with him and i couldn't because it would've made me feel like i was doing this out of personal choice. i know it was a hard decision, but if you ever get into the same trouble with a member, me, bird and daniel will be there to make that important choice

I know what you mean. It's not always obvious to make a choice like that.
Though if things go sour and the boards get invaded by spammers like it happened a few years ago, I know you wouldn't hesitate to help us right?
all we need is to make sure people respect the rules we all decided for the boards and this include "even" us.
besides you got a good head on your shoulders and you know when to tell me when i'm doing something wrong -- even when i pout like a big baby, it's better to have a council than nothing at all lol
sounds like eliana is our queen and we are her knights

Danny, what I did to Moniker was wrong, and no amount of saying 'it's okay, it had to be done" will make it better. I definitely did not like the word used, but to ban him arbitrarily like that, without discussing it with anyone else was wrong, wrong, wrong. If one of the others had done that I would have been aggravated with them, as they were right to be aggravated at me. I have no idea what you are talking about when you mention Silver, and I don't want to know. I am going to emulate Tom, and not pick sides, just take each situation as it comes.

I see. Sorry. What I meant is that I couldn'T ban him it would had make me seem like I wasn't caring about your feelings for him.
You are his friend after all.
Mirage Calhoun

Mirage Calhoun
Yes, and we get along well now. If you don't mind, I would rather not talk about it any more. Still get mad at myself, and just want to forget about it. Thank you for understanding.

I know Danny, but once a situation has been resolved, it does not help anyone to bring it up after that.

the situation has been quite awkward, i was trying to lighten things i just messed up
whenever i mess up i overthink and tend to put my foot in my mouth

I can understand that Danny, but sometimes if you think you are going to mess up, just stop, take a step back, and think before you post.

yeah yeah ... the fact i snapped back at him isn't better than what he did
i've always been told to stand my ground, so it came automatically
Mirage Calhoun

Mirage Calhoun
No, Danny, what Moniker said was wrong - he acknowledged that, and was okay with his ban. Again, I was wrong to do what I did , and he was wrong to write the word he did. And I am done with the whole situation. It is over, Moniker and I are good friends again, and I will not talk about it. You can't always stand your ground automatically, you have to stop and think sometimes. There have been times I wanted to cuss out an individual, be it online, in real life, or in PMs, but I refrain because I don't want to hurt them, or hurt myself by being a person I don't want to be.

understand your point of view
i*
the only reason why i didn't ban him was because I didn't want to upset anyone
i was like: "nope, not my problem anymore"
one way or another, it would have ended ugly
there's no easy choice
Mirage Calhoun

Well, that is a decent attitude to take.

No, a hard choice is never an easy choice, but sometimes we have to make them.
Danny Arseneau
showing restrain has never been my forte in the past
this time i was like: "nope nope nope nope... i won't blow up..."
guh... but i see what you mean. i don't want to think about it anymore.
if moniker's alright and promises he won't come after me, i'm okay with him coming back sooner
i don't want to make him mad
Mirage Calhoun
Okay, so let us not talk about it anymore, okay? I think everyone in the BCB wants to forget about it.
And Moniker is definitely all right - he won't come after you. You can lift the ban any time.
alright. i'm lifting the ban effectively now
Okay, thank you. I have to go and do a few things, I will talk to you later. Have a good day Danny.
