"Kyote has gone..." Topic

I have received the bad news… I would miss him as a trully good friend of the forum…

Hope he return in the near future…

Best wishes my good friend!!.

Regards
Raúl.

Truly a loss to TMP.

Yes a big loss!

Agreed. What happened?

His feelings on how the Forum should be moderated does not coincide with that of Dear Editor.

I'll take his place. DUDE!

Please move this to the Blue Fez!

We are all the poorer for his absence. I shall miss him here. But Kyote's must run free.
Cheers old man and mow the lawn!

Cfuzwuz…why?

There is a discussion ongoing in the Ultramodern forum that many consider to be Blue Fez material, but as per Bill it shall remain and that has offended many members. I have my opinion regarding the decision, but by the same time I've elected to stay aloof from that discussion.

And yet you claim this thread…all nine posts…is Blue Fez material.

Again…why?

You know at first Tango I'm thinking he died.
I could see this coming and figured after a comment or two I needed to stay away from it after typing and deleting

It was a joke. Take it to the Blue Fez was kyote's motto. I said up above I was taking his place. DUDE!

he is still on facebook.

….and TWW….

A tip of the hat to Kyote.
Welcome back if you decide to do so.

Gave me a timely caution when I was in danger of inadvertently stepping over a fuzzy line.

Come back, Kyoteblue-- I need your help staying out of the DH!

Cfuzwuz…your apology is accepted!

By the same time, I've just took myself completely out of the Modern folder. I've better things to do.

There is no way that discussion was warfare as Bill stated. It was clearly about civilian police action. I do feel it has largely steered clear of politics in spite of it being a discussion of police tactics.

I just sent Koyote a PM asking him to return to TMP. While he and I may differ politically, he is the closest person, geographically speaking, to me on TMP. His absence will be missed. I hope he reconsiders, and returns as soon as possible.

He really does add a lot here, I hope he comes back

A good bloke who has repeatedly stood up for his views; having read the thread I can understand his motive for leaving.

While I do disagree with him on many things, particularly the thread that broke his back, I do consider him a friend and a needed leftie conscience on TMP.

I exercised the option to deselect that board a while ago, its a shame he didn't follow a similar route and continued to bang his head against that particular wall.

Wise decision Earl John, glad I followed your lead here, even if I rarely commented in the folder itself.

I have to say I got a real fright when I read the title to this thread which left me relieved that Blue has just left TMP!

I know I won't agree with some of his views but they would matter not a jot. He is a kind and generous man, full of heart, witty and wise. The world is a much better place with the likes of Kyotein it so I'm certain TMP is also

Moreover to quote the Blackadder series, "he's got a beard you could hide a badger in"

I never found an internet argument to convert my opponent or convince me to change. All they have ever done is raise my blood pressure, which my doc says to avoid. So I de-selected Ultra-modern and try to stay out of any political arguments here. That's why I have in-laws – just spent a week with them.

Vince is right. No internet argument ever converted or convinced anybody.
Do why let them upset you?

Note that Kyote locked his own account, using the "stifle a moderator" method.

If you can't stand to read opinions that you don't agree with, to the point where you think you have to leave the forum, perhaps the internet is not the place for you.

Yes… he did… he choose that way to walk away… I beg him to reconsider… Ultramodern is not the guilty motive of his quit… as some fellow members said here… we can see that this comming a while ago… hope he return in the near future… with Cacique Caribe he is the guy I most miss more… I'm realy sad!.

I'm assuming he left over the thread that is gone now I think. I have no problems with anyone over a disagreement but would suggest if you haven't lived with something your not going to understand it like someone who has.

> Do why let them upset you?

Below is a general comment about all internet discussion and not anything in particular with this site – which I find somewhat of a bit of normalcy in the cesspit that is the internet.

Only reason is I can no longer live in the blissful ignorance of the depth of human idiocy that I used to.

Bill, at least unlock his account and let Kyote return, should he wish.

TMP needs guys like him.

WTF, he's opinionated, and funny! He adds to this looney bin, not detracts.

If anyone could be voted back in he would at least have a good chance

+1 Cellar Door. We do need him…
He's a damn fine man.

+2 that.

And that stifle the moderator code locking an account is a really bad feature. You can stifle/unstifle any other member, but stifle a moderator and BAM! – your account is locked forever.

my thoughts…since HE did it knowingly and willingly, we should respect that.

If or when he chooses to return, for any reason, he can reach out to the Editor and make those accommodations.

No special treatment. I don't think he would want that anyway.

YMMV

That stifle the moderator code locking an account is a really good feature. Many forums do that and so do many Facebook groups.

I get his point though.

On forums where politics are Verboten, you can discuss gaming in almost any context and people will play nice.

If politics are a common topic however, certain topics will always be in danger of being derailed, because people must shout about their pet cause any time they get.

If I was going to set up an arab-israeli war scenario (for example), I'm not inclined to ask here, because there's a decent chance of wasting my time while people shout at each other.

Always enjoyed his reaction to my "Animal Farm" scenarios. You WILL be missed!

'I never found an internet argument to convert my opponent or convince me to change.'

Actually, a couple of times my views have been changed/modified as a result of discussions on TMP.

'I never found an internet argument to convert my opponent or convince me to change.'

Hmmm. I've changed my views on a number of occasions by reading a well-defined argument on the net. Nothing to be ashamed about really.

There are limits mind you, but I certainly would tend to listen to someone with knowledge or experience around an issue.

Me too!.

I don't know why he can't simply resist the urge to click on the Ultramodern Warfare board like 99% of the TMP population. Bill created a separate Ultramodern Gaming board just so he wouldn't have to read about all the politics.

His recent stint in the DH might have been the last straw though. Oh well.

Imagine if we had an "Ultramodern Napoleonics" board. The resulting cataclysm might well destroy the internet forever.

Ba Bye!

…but stifle a moderator and BAM! – your account is locked forever.

Not forever. Quite a few people have talked to the moderators, and we were able to unlock their accounts.

Sometimes, we lock an account temporarily until we can resolve issues with the individual.

If I was going to set up an arab-israeli war scenario (for example), I'm not inclined to ask here, because there's a decent chance of wasting my time while people shout at each other.

I've been posting about my Arab-Israeli project, and no one has said anything controversial.
