Re: SBYW is being discontinued this Friday.

Redfox, your post was the only one here I can see that would loosely qualify as a personal attack.
Here's the difference.
Mason. Grow the fuck up! Stop being a little bitch wen someone, like me, points out one of your flaws! It's called self improvement! Ironcross told you, you can fix this! All you need to do is try, and stop being a little bitch!
Calling someone a, "little bitch", is not only directly targeting an individual but also doing so in a derogatory manner. For lack of a more sophisticated explanation, it's directly name calling without any room for any other interpretation. Statements like this only serve to turn up the heat. Instead, you could have been like:
I'm seriously just, sick of this. The way he acts is just... I was banned unnecessarily, and if I didn't know any better I'd categorize his actions as that of a bitchy 14 year-old. Sorry but it's completely true. Last week when I was online my friend Joe was x and y and then z happened! I'm no longer supporting his titles.
Regardless I'm in agreement with a lot said here. I would have replied earlier, but truth be told I had literally nothing to say that was worth saying.
Liam, I totally agree with your point here. The repetition is getting somewhat old. But by that same token, I can more than understand why people here are all up in arms over the situation. Indeed, clicking on the topic from a couple days back, link is in 25, we get a variety of comments from displeased players, with Mason even understanding where he went wrong and wishing to improve. People generally absolutely hate to see well thought out advice just disregarded without a second thought. Posting incriminating logs tends to bring out such an effect. But I believe everyone has more than made their points, and it's clear no amount of good wishes and sad faces will make him change his mind this second. thus I'd say further bashing is tantamount to pointless complaining. As a community I feel we have done all we can, and Mason will simply have to live with a steadily decreasing playerbase. Personally I had decided I wasn't looking back, in the SBYW ban topic, but I've also seen the unrelenting pattern for a matter of years so have grown used to it all.
Mason, if your reading this, allow me to speak for myself in saying I don't mean to target you personally. I regret the way the community steered you wrong, because they certainly did and combating that is futile. I've apologized for my part to play a number of times and wish to do so yet again. With that said, it was almost four years ago, and I no longer see any connection between your choices. You took a small break, and as many have said before me, I don't know if moderating games is your thing. I happen to know you possess quite a few other talents. I'd recommend highlighting on those, specifically the ones that don't depend on direct involvement with the community. You'll be saving yourself much time and player indignation. The way you keep acting is not only immature, but far from what any mature individual would expect. I wrote a post just last week saying something similar, but would rather not reiterate because I might have better luck convincing my refrigerator to brew me a nice cup of morning coffee.
I think the best way of helping him learn is simply not playing his online games. You will have no ties to whatever he next introduces, so the I bought the game or have many maps or whatever reasons don't apply in the slightest. When you are unrightfully punished as the result of playtime by Mason and friends, all we can do is suggest other games and say I told you so. So I wish this would all die down, as it's been proven time and time again Mason won't learn anything with public ridicule.
