And I just wanted an explanation for why you took the newsgroups were down. "I was working on them" doesn't cut it. You asked for an apology AFTER I asked for an explanation, which you eventually finally gave after it was practically beaten out of your sorry ass. But before you did you mentioned this "vote" to ban me. If anything, THAT is tripe, sport.

You THINK it's with the "community", but it's not; it's with you and you alone. Had you thought otherwise you would not have then passed off the responsibility to the community to ease your conscious on the matter. You have played a subtle, but important, card in showing your hand, Facter, and I've called your bluff. Now fold before you lose your entire pot. User dismissal voteFeb 8, 2001, 11:56pm
You should know me well enough by now to know I won't just stand by and let this vote happen or accept its outcome one way or another, Darla. I appreciate your and others support but I must stand up for what I believe in. I don't think Facter truly believes in what he's doing or he would NOT have shoved it off to the "community" (and only in the newsgroups, too, I might add) to decide. Where are Rick, JP, and the other AWCIers' opinions on this matter? Where is Lucrustia's dictatorial opinion? Facter obviously has too much power and is left ungoverened by Rick and JP; the power is going to his head and he needs to be put in his place since his Aw parents (Rick and JP) don't seem to be doing their employee management job.

You may not have made it part of the "official" voting "rules", but considering you mentioned it only HOURS (if not minutes) before you posted those "rules", I seriously doubt you're still not thinking about it. You're such a fucking twit, Facter. You say one thing yet do another, then you later attempt to skirt around it by claiming "<whine> but it's not part of the rules&!*(#". You fucking disgust me with every post you make. You've always been a twit to me over the years in how you act and what you say and do, but now you're nailing the point home in this latest attempt at "helping the community". What you FAIL to realize is that you are actually helping to DESTROY the community by this latest charade of AWCI (of which you are ineptly a part of).
YOU, idiot twitfuck moron pissant, have no grip on logic. Now evolve already...and get over yourself.

Yet you forget about how oppressive these newsgroups USED to be and what happened to the newsgroups when they were: they went silent.

I rip heads off Barbie dolls and steal candy from babies at EVERY chance I get. Muhuhhahahaha. Get out much, Facter? I'm quite tame compared to MOST people. It was YOUR bad decision to hold a vote about getting me banned. If you had a high enough self-esteem to not have to abuse your newly acquired "power" over the newsgroups, you would not be in this situation. But, alas, you need to mature some more yet and finish withdrawing from all those drugs you used to do. > One can only try - I tried and failed - too bad. Don't try so hard, champ.

Do you know what hypocracy means? It means to do say one thing yet do another. Facter said the newsgroup charter is enforceable by AWCI without the need for the newsgroup community to vote on issues relating to it. Hence, the vote to ban me from the newsgroups was hypocritical. Get it?

> Sorry Eep it wasn't.
Sorry, Jeiden, it was. To say one thing yet do another is hypocritical. Facter said the vote wasn't at all necessary to ban me from the newsgroups, yet he went ahead with it anyway instead of simply banning me as per the charter terms. Hence, hypocracy. > Even though AWCI can if they wished boot you > both here and in AW. The vote to get you banned was not hypocrisy on > their part.

AW's banned me from AW and the newsgroups before so that's nothing new to me. However, I've always been let back in either after threats of going to the BBB (of which I've already filed a report once) and/or causing an injustice outcry in various forums besides these newsgroups, sometimes spawning in protests. I've never been banned for something that wasn't protected under the 1st Amendment and as such have eventually been allowed back in. Is it really necessary to include PGP signatures in here? Security isn't an issue here. [View Quote] User dismissal voteFeb 10, 2001, 1:35pm

Er, well, the Voodoo Banshee chip is old and outdated, Fyrene. You really should consider upgrading if you want to take advantage of AW's newer features (multiple lights, mipmapping, etc.--and Myrth tells me Roland's considering upping the max vis limit to 200m for AW 3.2 so to get all those multiple lights AND high vis yer gonna need a powerful 3D chip and system). Consider a GeForce 256 or GeForce 2-based card.
