Original thread title was 'Annie Hall' wrote:Have you ever seen Annie Hall?

There is this one scene where woodie allen is on a date at the cinema, and there's a guy behind them who's coming out with loads of obnoxious opinions and stating it all as fact and so forth. Allen gets more and more annoyed about this and eventually turns around and says to the guy, 'actually i disagree with you about that'. The guy looks at him and says, 'well, actually I happen to be a professor of so and so, so I know all about this author's work, so stfu'. Woodie Allen then looks at him and says 'orly?' and walks off the screen and comes back with the author himself, and the author says, 'what you're saying about my work is completely wrong, and if you say that you shouldn't be a professor at all.' Woodie Allen then looks at the camera and says 'pity that sort of stuff never happens in real life'.

I tell you all this, because it recently *did* happen, in this thread. And, imo, it was pretty damn sweet.

Thing is though, it feels rather as though my Annie Hall moment was stolen. This upsets me because Woodie Allen is right, that stuff doesn't hardly ever happen in real life. So this is a thread to (hopefully) ressurrect the moment, and ofc to discuss other 'Annie Hall' moments that people have had. It is not a targetted whine, it is exactly what it says on the tin, a discussion of a scene in Annie Hall as well as comparable scenes that occur in DAoC exc/pryd cluster.

Enjoy!

p.s. if this is all completely confusing to you, check sig.

So what if it focuses on a particular guild? There is specific stuff said about guilds/individuals all the time, that stuff should only be modded if it is unreasonable, untrue, abusive etc. The stuff being said in the threads was none of these things. The fact that two threads have now been deleted that draw attention to my opinion about that feels as though there is an attempt to suppress these opinions and stop other people perhaps scrutinising the mods activity.

Anyway, it's over a completely petty matter all this stuff developed in the first place. The thing is, when you are stopped saying something you wanted to say, you want to say that thing about a million times more, no matter how pointless it was, or how little you cared about it in the first place. I must say I am very angry at all mod behaviour since eggy initially closed the first thread.

What annoys me is that first an embarassing line of enquiry was nipped in the bud by mod action. And then other people's legitimate desire to discuss and question mod action (God knows why you feel you should be able to prevent people doing this) was not just closed but deleted. I believe mods are mods and they should have the authority to take action, but when they do things in such a way as to hide questionable actions from forum users, it's pretty low imo.

If you felt your modding was in line with policy and justified, why did you delete rather than just closing the post?

Anyway, I think you can tell I am now on a real mission about this, when it was something I couldn't care less about to start with except that it gave me some mild amusement. I feel very provoked etc. And ofc now I am told that any further open discussion, no matter how reasonable, diplomatic or *WHAT ITS FORM MAY BE*, will be deleted and I'll be banned. Eggy's PM clearly indicates that it is the content of what I'm saying, not the form or delivery that is off limits. That to me is complete censorship.


cheers,

It's like logging onto to go school and getting assessed on each and every post, hope pryd.net doesn't turn out this way.
