"I'm youtube famous!  Gimme free shit!!!"

Did your dad die of shame and regret?

Cancer.

I don't care if iretrogamer brought it up his dad or if this guy is the bane of this boards existence (which I doubt), that is pretty low to say Necro. As a moderator you should hold yourself to a somewhat higher standard

Agreed. That is pretty f*cked up...

Cry to someone that cares.  Mods have the same rules to follow as everyone else, and last I checked "always be nice" wasn't in my job description.

You may not care, but I agree mocking someone losing a family member is pretty low.

If Necro's comment was simply cruel, then yes, I would agree with you.

However, the comment was also horrifically hilarious and I almost spewed my coffee on the campfire. Hilarious + cruel is definitely better than merely being cruel. Or maybe it is even more evil? Hmmm, I might just be an evil person.

I am guilty.

Regardless, All is Not Lost.

The key thing is that most of us are willing to give iretro a second/third/fourth/fiftieth chance to redeem himself, but he has had a tough time digging himself out.

For every half-step forward, he takes 1.75 steps backwards.

BUT THAT'S OK, because we really can coexist if he spends some time to figure out the pcefx community. He certainly seems more promising than many other folks whose tenures have been fleeting.

Think about it: even if iretrogamer doesn't agree with us, he (probably) has at least considered and contemplated our viewpoints. THIS ALONE puts him above most folks, who outright discount opposing viewpoints.

True, we will never know the actual degree of his sincerity, but that can be said of 99% of people in general.

iretrogamer: Don't worry. Take some time. Don't rush. In time you will become part of our dysfunctional family.

FWIW, I'm still glad Necro is a mod here and I think he generally does a great job. We're all guilty of being a$$holes sometimes. Except maybe esteban. :D

iretrogamer, I'm sorry for your loss. I enjoyed the one video of yours I watched and I hope you stick around and participate in discussions here and not just engage in commerce. :)

I'm not trying to say it wasn't cruel or that it was totally appropriate, just that it was within the rules.  It may be 'wrong' in terms of some community standards, sure, but is it worse than the constant sex jokes, misogyny, mental handicap jibes, or telling people to go f*ck themselves simply because they asked too high of a price?  I think not.  The bar isn't set that high here, but y'all are free to petition for rules changes.

Nobody accused you of breaking the rules of the forum (nice try). They accused you of being an unrepentant dick for unwarranted reasons and it looks like you're %100 happy to live with description of yourself so that's probably the end of it.

THANKSGIVING: Wednesday June 13, 2016

You made me happy today—even if that makes me a horrible person—and for that I am grateful.

Exactly. Real, Genuine Thanksgiving.

Not that fake shite in November.

Give thanks when it is deserved.
