The line between what you consider to be valid criticism and what you consider to be "fuck you" seems to move depending on your mood on any given day.
You have all the power. It's different when an average member gets ornery, they get ornery and it's over. You get ornery and you say things like "you want Cow back?" as if you feel you need to instill the fear in us that you would take away this board just because you don't get enough unconditional love here. On a troll board. Populated by trolls and freaks. Who don't place a high priority on being loved.
I'm slowly trying to understand the disconnect, and just when I think I do and try to make amends for getting pissed, you say and do other things that threaten the day-to-day ops of the board over your mood, and I get pissed again. You can provide links and claim that's not what you do, but the real point has always been, that's what you make people FEEL like you're doing.
Sometimes it's not us who are the crazy ones. Sometimes, just once in a while, it's not us who need to reflect and repent. I'm sorry if you don't get enough emotional return on your physical investment here. But maybe you should realize that those are two different banks.
And I'm sick of having this fight. Wacky getting smacked around this week has almost done it for me here.
And yes, I may not feel this angry a few days from now, and regret being so harsh. But then, me always caving in just enables this codependency longer. Do you ever think that, for all the work you put in here, that there might be things you say and do above that that might be cause for reflection? Ever? The work enables you as much power here as you see fit to exert. Making dry "jokes" about taking everything away with you because people feel pushed around or put upon by excess mods is actually a LOT of power being exercised.
Thanks for the upgrades, this place is 50% faster and 50% less fun. I have enough fear of losing everything in real life, having to fear for it here on a day-to-day basis as well is too high a price for PETZ and EGG TOSSING.
Do you get that this is how you are making people feel? Even if you don't believe you're doing it intentionally? Does that ever cross your mind? We don't want you to leave, we want you to stop threatening to leave, and to stop being a prick to people who don't want everything you want.
Why am I bothering? Oh yeah, because even the Mine Field isn't safe anymore. A damn Top 100 list can't sail smoothly without some backbiting because of the lingering resentment. But as has been said before, fuck me.

I guess I'm just not compatible with the place. And no, that's not a threat to leave. I will stick it out, and do what mm or the members ask me to do, but I don't think I can participate, post, etc.
And no, this isn't some passive aggressive love me or else thing or whatever you like to think I do. This is me giving up, because I'm apparently doing harm I don't want or intend to do, and don't know how not to do, and am to old to try and figure out how to be somebody else.
So whatever you all need from me, I'm here for. But, sadly, the personality formally known as Hambil has left the building.
I love you all. Well, most of you. Okay, some of you. At least one of you, I'm pretty sure.
Peace.

I'm not taking everything personally. There is/was obviously some personal stuff in some of what's been said here. If you want to take the old "It's just TK" easy out, do so. It's been done a thousand times before. It's old. I'm old. My bones ache. I'm not up for it anymore.

DON'T FUCK WITH MY TITLE BITCH
Yes it is. Maybe it is subconcious and you don't realize it, but that is exactly what it is. I'll wager that in RL Morrhigan also tends to react poorly to similar responses of yours.
The problem here as I see it is that no one here is willing to make the commitment to playing this game (and that is what this is) at the same level of commitment you have to being IT to this board. Heck. I'd do it, and I'd be quite good at it, but I've never been able to make a sustained long-term commitment to board contribution.
Get some perspective on your posts. Think third-person.

I like the egg-av, and Hambil can be less douchey than others at times!

This wasn't my intended result, and I hope it's not permanent. I was ready for quite a different response, in fact I was ready to leave myself rather than to keep making these long-winded speeches that take things too seriously.
God dammit, why is it that I never want to fight here when everybody else does, and the few times I do, things like this happen instead? Fuck that! I'm not staying here having to carry this on my back.

Maybe it is some passive-aggressive love thing, or maybe it's genuine - I haven't been in a long-term relationship in a while, so I've lost my edge, adolescent intrigues-wise.
I think that taking a step back may be the best option here, though, either way. I'll miss Hambil's posts in the MF, just like I miss him pissing off the resident Hitlers in AP when we still had resident Hitlers to speak of and people still posted in AP.

Somewhere out in a shack in the woods of rural Ohio, there's a woman reading this thread and cackling wildly.

moral imperfection
Eggs - it's okay. I also sometimes seem to be in the wrong mood with the wrong group of people - it happens. It's damn frustrating when all you want is a good, witty forth-and-back along with sarcastic insults thrown in here and then, and the opponent of your choice gets all teary-eyed and emo on you. Even more so if what you say is profound and should be taken into consideration.
(Of course, it's just as shitty if you're lookin for a nice, fun meeting with friends, and one of them chooses that moment to tell you where and how exactly you suck...)
Anyway, I see where you are coming from in this case, and I agree and feel mostly the same. I do appreciate you caring enough about all of us to make that 'speech'.
Fuck, can't you tell a good-natured, half-assed attempt at getting on everyone's nerves from the kind of asinine, cutting, personal jabs that might merit stretching your admin muscles and DC'ing or *gasp* leaving forevah!! ?
And yeah, I do agree with what Eggs said upthread, I have reacted negatively to this kind of dangling your admin powers in front of us before. You may or may not do this consciously, but fact is - it pisses me off.
As for criticism - they piled lots of it on you, and lots of it crossed the line to being just harrassment. BUT.... some people do give constructive opinions, and maybe it would be a good idea to search those posts less for personal jabs than for ideas you can use.
Anyway, I am appreciative for a lot of the stuff you did, and I also wish you would show more of that dry wit of yours down here. But that would, imo, really require for you to listen to Dual:

Hambil - up to this point, I actually thought you were just playing along with something that was so clearly just another OMG DRAMA IN THE BADLANDS play.
