Silver recently posted a few messages that I felt were mildly bossy, (which when coming from someone with any amount of authority is multiplied by a magnitude of 10), and were undermining the fun attitude of some threads in the "What should a werewolf be?" section.
Based on the phrasing, and the fact that she is not involved here on the forums as often as other members, including Anthony, I suspected that this was simply due to some minor confusion on her part from being away from the forums for a while.
I received a far less than welcome response for suggesting that she allow us to carry on our conversation the way we want to, and explaining why I believe that is our right.
I don't care if she is the Queen of England.Silver wrote:Vuldari, Whoa, I guess you told me!
I'm thinking that you don't know or remember the history of this website and who I am.
To start: I am one of the two writers of Freeborn, one of the original members of the Pack, and one of the original founders of this site.
...she was still accusing us of getting off topic in conversations that were not intended to be Freeborn Specific, and discouraging us from continuing to do so, in a section that was no longer dedicated to that purpose. (While there are other, In Use, sections that are)
If I know someone is mistaken, I do not bow down and accept whatever they say, no matter WHO they are.
...and I am not impressed with her "High and Mighty" self proclamation either.
Apparently, she thinks so highly of herself now as to believe she is too important to even listen to the reasonings of "Commoners".
This is the response she gave me to the PM I sent...
...Oh Please...
I would just as soon call out Steven Spielberg or the President of the United States if I thought they were being foolish, or simply mistaken.
We clearly have very different interpretations of what "Respect" means. Not speaking out is like letting your friend go all day with something gross stuck in their teeth and letting them suffer the embarrassment when they find out later, rather than pointing it out right away before it's a problem and saving them that grief. I see nothing "Respectful" about that approach.
I speak up. If you choose to receive it as an insult instead of assistance, that is your decision.
A word of advice though...
...get over yourself.
