It doesn't matter. I was wasting time then and I'm wasting time now. I guess I liked wasting the time better when I was an Admin, but even then, that could just be because the Forum was more lively in general.
Ignore all the self-righteous higher ground bullshit in that thread I started and know what is probably obvious anyway, I resigned because I wanted to be left the fuck alone. I think that I did a good job as an Administrator there and that I was fair and unbiased except for when there was a good reason not to be for the benefit of the Forum. Bending over backwards to try to keep MickeyCrimm from getting himself Nuked, despite his best efforts to thwart me, for instance.
Anyway, there was nothing noble about my resignation. In fact, I specifically asked if resigning from being an Administrator would prevent me from getting paid for writing, and I am paid for writing still, so you can put two and two together on the answer to that one. If resigning would have prevented that, then my resignation would have been a bit delayed. I'd have probably saved up some amount, resigned, and then none of you would ever see my fat ass again.
If people believe that the worst of what was speculated was true, then they could go fuck themselves anyway. As far as continuously Nuking CasinoKiller's thread, the link in the thread was a clear violation of the rule against Doxxing. I'd have Nuked that thread for my worst enemy, not that I have enemies, per se. Actually, I wouldn't do it for anyone...I'd do it because that's simply not a rule that should be broken ever. You can't even have message boards that would discuss stuff like Advantage Play without having a rule against Doxxing.
Also, the website that was being linked had a picture of WoN's wife---might have named her---don't remember. I might have been inclined just to wait for Wizard to handle the situation if it hadn't been for that.
Another thing is that if I had been protecting WoN specifically, then it's obvious that I would have banned CasinoKiller for Doxxing.
Not only did I NOT ban CasinoKiller for Doxxing, the reason that I didn't was specifically to avoid the perception of bias. The only thing I did was Nuke his thread every time he put it back up. If anyone except WoN had been the target, then I would have banned CasinoKiller for Doxxing. I guess maybe not if there was someone else I had ongoing real life business with.
Anyway, contrary to popular opinion, I was not protecting WoN. It was because I worked with WoN that my actions against CasinoKiller were not more severe. Doxxing is a serious fucking thing. And, again, had it not been for the mention/picture of WoN's wife---I'd have probably just PM'ed the other Admins and informed them that I want my hands clean of that whole matter.
