This is petty and harping of me but… I /still/ am very bothered that jomomo or whatever the name is got to fire personal attacks at everyone leaving/banned but has not faced any consequences. By the standard Derp and Gany have set, jomomjo should have been insta-banned. The comment made in the ethics post was well beyond what most of the banned/formerly banned people said and did. Some reacted very badly but I chalk that up to emotions on high/anger being the primary feeling. Yet jomomomomo has faced nothing.

@icanbeyourmuse it’s only personal attacks if it is made against people we like.

like, seriously, though, what he said was worse than what tempest said, and tempest got banned.

I think even Tempest deserves an unban. Taking away the Hogpit and then punishing her for posting outside the Hogpit before you’d put up the new code of conduct felt like bait.

Tempest didn’t deserve to go out that way, not after the years of her shit.

@Meg It was and Tempest has said a LOT of horrible things. Like really bad. The comment about everything was especially mild for Tempest. I would /almost/ call it polite. You know, in the way Tempest talks, maybe not so much by a lot of other standards.

I have it in a word document so I could respond point by point of what he was calling me out on. No worries.

Yeah, I REALLY think Tempest got a super raw deal, and I am not a fan. Hers was more unjust than most of them (and they were all unjust).

I’m a petty enough bitch to want to go back and accuse them of being in a clique that silences everyone who disagrees with them, but shit, never mind. I’d rather have closure.

This post is deleted!

Sorry, actually just deleting my post. It’s not worth it to post on MSB but also, not worth it here either.

I woke up this morning a wee bit sad as I had to close a tab open to MSB on my phone, and reminded myself:

The forum was never the community. It was just where the community agreed to hang out. It could have been Reddit or Discord or a MUSH but - for a few years - it was the MSB forum.

If WORA was ever a thing, it is here now. The spirit of open, lively debate is here.

What we left behind are admin who admit candidly that they wanted us off their forum, so we are gone.

The people left behind on Derp’s forum are a separate community.

People can decide where they would like to belong. (Except for those of us who were banned but I also think that just reinforces what most of us had already chosen.)

I am happy to be part of this community. 🥰
