About Reveille

[Relique du Madde]

So many things to say, most of which would be repeating what was said before.



Anyways, since it's likely that Rev will hear about this message, let me just say, from one HIVER to another, if you want/need to talk, you know where to find me.


Btw., if ti was all a sick perverse joke, the Discordian in me approves. If not, then you all I have to say what you did was very thought provoking.

So because of this I don't think he should be permanently banned. Besides, his shame will likely keep him away from these boards longer than any ban. Or, his sickness, combined with his computer savvy, will have him back on these boards under a "secret" identity as soon as he wishes.

You know, I disagree with you. Some things need to result with permanent banning... a temporary ban is just not enough. And, as you say, he can always come on as a new name - and a fresh start (at least until he reveals who he really is).

It is, as people have said, only a forum board. You can say he is a sick individual (Which I disagree with), or at least an upset one (which I do agree with). But either way, we are not a treatment centre. We are a place for like-minded people to talk/rave/complain about Dungeons and Dragons (and other games).

Shutting our doors to him is not shutting him away from treatment, because we are not treament professionals - and we shouldn't be taking on that role. Shutting our doors to him is simply saying "what you did is not cool, and we don't want to talk to you about Dungeons and Dragons anymore".

If he wants, he can always sneak back onto the site. Whatever. More likely, he'll get his fix for gaming conversations on one of the other related sites out there. We are not the only one, after all.

So, I wish him the best, but I wish him the best somewhere else.

I'm disappointed in Rev, but we all make mistakes. I forgive ya, Rev; hopefully everyone else can do the same.

Regarding the ban length, I'd vote for a year and a day, if it were up for a vote. But I like that kind of thing.

 

[Truth Seeker]

Wait, this was a fake...all of it?


Wow...you got me good.


Wow...you got me real good.

 

[Kzach]

Best. Troll. Evar.

 

[Blackrat]

Meh. I have come to expect the worst from any- and everyone so I'm not even disappointed. I don't know the reasons and I don't even actually care. You're still ok in my books Rev.

I think everyone needs to step back and breath a little. Rev was a valued member of our community for YEARS before he did this. Sure he may have tarnished his reputation in a huge way, but he shouldn't be perma-banned for one lapse of judgment.

If anything you should look at what he did in this way: He showed each and everyone of use how fragile this digital existance truly is. He made us realize that if something happened to one of us it would truly difficult for anyone to know because it is easy to fabricate lies on the internet. He also showed that having purely textual relationships over a digital network is foolish since it is difficult because how much information and disinformation exists. He tought us a valid and much needed lesson, so don't damn him because you didn't get the "harr-harr" or because you felt hurt/deceived by his cry for help.

If anyone on ENWorld deserves a second chance, it's Rev.

 

[S'mon]

Honestly, the whole thing felt very fishy to me from the beginning, which is why I decided not to post any sort of "support" in the original thread.

It did seem odd, and I'm glad I steered clear of it.

I want to say - best wishes Piratecat, sometimes it's really tough being a moderator. Thinking of you.

As a police officer, I already had this one figured out a while ago. I just didn't want to say anything because personal attacks are not acceptable nor should they be. I didn't know Rev and he didn't know me so really, anything I would have said would seem like an attack. I am truly sorry however that it came to this. It's unfortunate but it certainly did reveal that people on this site care of others, which really is the point of sites like these. I'm proud to be an EnWorlder!

 

[Shadowsong666]

Well, i don't know why he did what he did, but if it helps him getting over his problems - so be it. I don't have a problem with people who make me show that i care for other people over the net if they suffer horrible.

But yeah, please don't 4chan ENworld.
