5 things Arek,
1. not my second post
2. You said that was about Bad just now, not me, I don't think I mentioned his name in that post even.
3. Again that wasn't a shot at Bad, I was using an example to try to highlight a point.....it's not a knew concept, it's been going on for years. How it's construed isn't my problem, next time I will put 'This is not a shot at anyone just 'trying to highlight my point by giving you an actual example of dishonesty that was accepted so you can see that people do actually lie, any similarity to the actions of anyone living is purely coincidental' as a disclaimer in brackets next to it ok?
4. If Bad was so sensitive about the issue perhaps lying to an entire server wasn't the best course of action for some one with such a tender disposition in the first place? If Bad truly has a problem with what I said he can come speak to me himself, I may or may not acknowledge his existence and discuss it with him.
5. When the server apologies to me for calling me a Troll I might give some thought to apologising to Bad for calling him a dishonest. Until then quit bitching at me for acting the part I'm given.
Cata

So it's not about bad at all, and yet you are sitting here talking smack, making insinuations and turning this into something about bad. Clearly he is so sensitive because he's here posting in this thread. Oh wait. Your strange hangup about bad is becoming more transparent with every post. Get over it. And your number 5 is one of the lamest justifications and cop outs I've ever seen on a forum. But it's ok, keep black knighting for the server that owes you an apology for giving you the role of troll on a message board where you make posts like this.

That was no cop out or justification, I believe it is called a condition. When I get my apology Bad will get his. I never said my comment wasn't about Bad, I simply said I didn't name Bad in my post as the one I was talking about, you can hardly hold me at fault if people assume correctly the identity of the person I am talking about, nor can you hold me responsible for them 'outing' him as the person I was talking about, I'm not the one trying to turn this into something about Bad. Other people are doing that, I'm simply answering their posts since you know, they were speaking to me, it would be rather rude not to. But if it makes you happy I've said all I have any interest in saying on the matter so I'm more than happy to let it drop if the rest are Cata

Cata,
Sigh. I apologize for your being such a jerk.
There was once told the story of a man who ran up such a tremendous debt, he had no hope of ever repaying. So he wrote all his creditors suggesting they cut him up and divide the remains in lieu of settlement. One to whom he owed money responded. "I say we do it. I want his gall."
Cata, you are that man. You enter a conversation having nothing to do with you, and toss about insults and absurdities with all the accuracy and care of a blind man with a machine gun. But when you are called out for taking a cheap and pointless shot at a third party to this thread, one who had made not a single post here, suddenly you are the one most deserving of an apology? What should Bad say? "Sorry, Cata, is my eye hurting your elbow?"
OK. Makes perfect sense. I'll be right back with your apology as soon as I finish writing those apologies due Jack the Ripper, Mussolini, and Idi Amin.

Welcome to the Higher Ground Minority Report... It's probable that a crime will be committed, so I am justified in pre-emptively lynching the (potential) perp. If we had 'lynched' him, his ip would be banned - as just about any other gaming community would have, by this point. By contrast, we believe in a lighter touch, making this remark all the stupider. It never fails to amaze how some players are willing to complain about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING under the sun. We assume a certain goodwill and trust on the part of the community. If you don't trust us, you shouldn't play here, as we could have easily fabricated all that later-posted information you're referring to. I already took pains to point this out to Cata. Of course, if you can't reason that much out for yourself, I doubt my pointing it out a second time is going to penetrate, but hope doth burn eternal, and stuff. Of course, you would not only have to not trust us, you would also have to believe that we are secretly conspiring to drive innocent people away from the server because of rank stupidity, perversity, or a sekrit desire to have no one get to see the content we spend countless hours producing. Which is, frankly, just moronic. Or - just a thought - you could try shaving with Occam's razor. Could it be we actually have an incentive to protect our playerbase? No! Perish the thought. Playing the benighted prole is ever so much more fun. Really, it's terribly rude of us not to go a little Orwell on your ass so you have at least a semblance of an excuse. Since I was directing the original statement at a player and not the administration, and since I was referring to the specific behavior of a presumption of guilt without evidence, it is rather telling that you should take such umbrage to this statement, especially since you went to the effort to take it out of context. Comment is as important as content. The ONLY point I was trying to make is the fact that someone who is not part of the community and reads this thread as part of their introduction to Higher Ground is going to see a bunch of administrators and senior players hammering another player for questioning their behavior. It either takes already knowing about the player originally posted about, or trusting a group of people on the internet that they have no previous relationship to to accept this as something legitimate. I have no doubt, and never did, that your actions are legitimate. Go back and read the statement without applying the accumulated upset of the thread. It is criticism, but it is meant to be constructive, not just trolling. Not to worry, I won't tilt at the wind mill anymore. I'll just leave you with the final thought that I am not the only one putting forth my position.

What should Bad say? "Sorry, Cata, is my eye hurting your elbow?" OK. Makes perfect sense. I'll be right back with your apology as soon as I finish writing those apologies due Jack the Ripper, Mussolini, and Idi Amin. I think you missed the point of my post. Do you seriously think I am stupid enough to actually expect the server to apologise for calling me a troll? Why would they? Contrary to what people believe I never intend to troll anyone, it never actually enters my mind that I want to deliberately offend or abuse any member of this community. However I do go back and read my comments and usually cringe at what I see. I get lost in the moment and I do get angry and sometimes act stupidly but it is always with the best of intentions. I can be stubborn, arrogant, stupid, abusive sometimes, sarcastic, I have no doubt you can add numerous other faults to the list as well and I'm sure it will give you and others quite a bit of pleasure to do so, so feel free. If that makes me a Troll, fine, I'm a Troll. Do the server a favour and quite feeding me, it is somewhat idiotic behaviour on your part don't you think? As for Bad the only time I mentioned Bad's name was in relation to the tongue in cheek comment about the hard work he put in trying to get new players to join the server. That was not a dig at Bad, if you think it was then sure I'll apologise for the comment. As for the rest of the comments, sure, they were about Bad but I wasn't the one who announced that fact. You lot were. Nor were they posted to 'have a dig' at Bad. I simply mentioned behaviour I find reprehensible, you guys were the ones who stuck Bad's name to that behaviour. If you think Bad is owed an apology for his name being dragged through the mud perhaps you should hold your grubby little hands up and apologise to him yourselves. Anyway, since my comments have nothing to do with you why are you getting involved? Btw, that I can recall Bad has never actually insulted me ever. Bad wasn't the one I asked the apology from. Learn to read Cata

Back to topic, I suppose Bad is Chaos sister and Cata is more the gnoll type. I can vouch that Cata is not a gnoll Honestly I started off on the wrong foot with Cata - and I do not think it was anyone's direct issue, we just kind of clashed the first time we met. You know what I found out though? He is an awesome guy. One of the most fun things I ever did on HG was an Abos run that I did with Cata's shifter while he boxed a bard and a druid that had no spells to cast (he didnt recharge his ring) ran along tanking. We had tons of laughs and it was awesome. I do not think he is a troll at all. I like Cata.

The bard was your wife's toon and she had to go afk after the second pull with the baby and never made it back btw.
