Con


Innomen predicted, when I returned to DDO, that "It's just a matter of time until the next melt down."

Such open-ended predictions are win-win for those who make them; if not proven, they are forgotten, and if proven, the predictor is hailed as a prophet. So this is a way of holding Innomen accountable for his prediction in a manner consistent with the primary dispute mechanism on this website -- as well as holding me accountable for my behavior.

Full Resolution: WriterDave will melt down before there are less than 3 days left in the voting period of this debate.

"Melt down," in this context, means to explicitly convey the immanent presence of a life-threatening psychological distress on my part.

If before the time when this debate has 3 days left in the voting period I have melted down, by the definition above, all 7 points should go to Pro. If not, all 7 points should go to Con. There should be no voting prior to the last 3 days of the voting period.

To protect Dave, I will be taking this debate and forfeiting. Dave, I care a lot about my record, so I just did you a huge favor . . .

Dave, please stop this. I have sent you private messages that you do not respond to, as has TUF. There are people who support you and want to comfort you, but you are not accepting our aid. There is only so much we can do.

Mr. Dave, He does have the right to use PM's as a tool of solving a problem, but only PM's of the members in trial (or in your case, trouble-making). I won't go much into your case, because I don't want to end up being fooled. You could very well be a troll, but whatever.

You came to this site, and I among many other members put huge value on you without doubt. But one debate made you go nuts, and you want all attention drawn toward yourself. You're the magnet that draws negative attention from people. If you don't like this site, either try to improve it in a good fashion or just leave.

You did indeed, sir. And in retrospect, I disclosed one item from your PM, namely the item where you promised to keep the items in my PM confidential. I apologize for that, because it went against the normative set that governed my behavior at the time. But now I guess it's all right.

Well, in either case, you clearly hold that disclosing the contents of another person's PM does not violate the terms of service -- and my own reading of the ToS confirms this.

So what I'm going to do is, I'm going to assume that any critical administrative announcement will be given its own thread in the DDO forum, and will temporarily turn off javascript if I see such a thread there. That will give me leave to do something that I've wanted to do for several days now:

Are you saying that I disclosed the contents of your PM?

Are you saying that you had the moral right to disclose the contents of a PM I sent you in confidence, and that you said you would hold in confidence?

Dave, if you had serious concerns about the privacy of your instability you WOULDN'T HAVE MADE VIDEOS FOR YOUTUBE!!! News flash: posting on the internet should be considered for everyone and forever.

If someone's suffering from cancer, do they make youtube videos and refuse any comments of support, but only cling to the negative comments?

I do hope everyone knows WriterDave is a fake account created by Imabench to distract people from the DDO elections....

That's news to me. That people have already seen the videos, I mean. Where have they been talking about them?

I'm starting to agree with you, innomen. Dave hasn't been responding to support, so I don't know if I should keep giving it.

Dave, people on DDO have already seen the videos. They have been talking about them since Saturday.
