Litopia

Admin on a power trip. See for yourselves. To summarize the events leading up to this discussion: 1) One of the members was rude and snarky to me, which Admin denies but which many other members and non members who viewed the posts could see. 2) In response, I said how i felt, because their attack felt personal and unwarranted and I'm (as you can see) not one to roll over and play dead. 3) Mr Rude responds saying he didn't mean to offend 4) I said I apologize also if I offended him 5) He said was NOT apologizing and was still very angry and decided to step away. That was the end of that. We both *moved on* AFTER we've moved on, admin Jamie starts this convo with me, which wasn't a request for me not to post, initially. Without anything further negative transpiring on the board, a DAY LATER, he *requested* me not post so I could take some time to feel better about how I had been treated. When I opted not to take the time off, even though everything was going smooth on the board, he went on a power trip and in the end banned me from their site. I had seen his request for me to take a week off as 1) optional and 2) based entirely on how he felt about me and not about what was going on on the boards, since he'd already contacted me positively after what happened on the board, and his response for me to take a break was related to our private message and not to what was currently happening on the board. I was polite with him, but honest. I don't feed into people's power trips. If someone is doing something wrong or abusing their power, I speak up. I don't like it when people use their power to play favorites either. And SAYING you aren't playing favorites is different from not actually playing favorites. Evidence of what admin is like on Litopia. I recommend trying absolutewrite.com instead if you want a positive writing community. 1) PK was rude and snarky (in my eyes and the eyes of several others, but not in your eyes or ren's eyes. So, possibly all a misunderstanding) 2) I said how i felt 3) He respondes saying he didn't mean to offend 4) I said I apologize also if I offeneded him 5) He said was NOT apologizing and was still very angry and decided to step away. That was the end of that. We both *moved on* AFTER we've moved on, you start this convo with me, which wasn't even a request for me not to post, initially. Without anything further negative transpiring on the board, a DAY LATER, you request me not post. (This is in response to our discussion and not the good nature taking place on the board at the time of your request) At that point, it was clear there'd been plenty of time that passed on the forum showing that we'd both moved on. This is why I see your request for me to take a week off as 1) optional and 2) based entirely on how you feel about me and not about what was going on on the boards, since you'd already contacted me positively after what happened on the board, and your response for me to take a break was related to out private message and not to my behavior on the board. I've been very polite to you (but i've been honest. It's true, I don't see being an admin as a free pass, and I don't think you see it that way either) After that, he banned me :)
