Remember, Remember

[Mehmani]

Not at all, I'm pretty sure that most of you have lives outside of the Internet. Draco didn't though or at least it comes over like that and that's the sad thing. First of all, that comment is not only a matter entirely of personal opinion, it is wrong.

But I never got why that Guy Fawkes guy was so special (Catholic being mad at his Protestant government) and using him as an allegory or celebrating him like many people do in England is kind of pointless, since there are hundreds of other people who did better. Guy Fawkes was a Protestant, his Catholic step-father only converted him when he was nearly a teenager. He was a scapegoat and was actually caught six hours before the Parliamentary meeting. The King was never in danger as the whole thing was actually a set-up to make the people feel grateful towards their government. See where the comparisons are coming from now? Also, unlike Fawkes (who did actually have a stash of gunpowder big enough to blow up Parliament), Draco had nothing to attack with. And like Fawkes, Draco was set up and made a scapegoat.

And yes I have the right to get that kind of opinion because no other member made such a hubbub about getting butthurt or banned on the Internet, scrap Ragnarok. The thing is though, Draco had a right to make a hubbub - what the moderating team were doing to him was wrong.

 

PS: I don't even remember what the mods back then did to him and maybe I wasn't in the team yet so I don't get what "morally and ethically unjust" thing was done to him. But I guess we all got some morally and ethically unjust stuff done us over the Internet but most people I know got over it. And do you think I care so much about how you guys should support him or not? He and IDK how many other people get enough of support the whole year through and afaik most of the mods haven't paid much attention to who you like and who you don't. I beg to differ. I know for a fact that it is Forum Policy to punish people who post incriminating evidence regarding the moderating team's actions surrounding Draco's permaban. I got punished for it.

I agree that maybe it was wrong (if I could still remember what it was, that is), of course it's possible that some actions over the Internet can be very unjust and butthurting. But then you're butthurt for a few minutes and then you're over it, also I usually get more angry when something bad happens to me in real life rather than here.=/ IDK personally it's worse for me if a teacher doesn't let you into the exam because you came from the toilet 2 minutes later, or people around you are constantly lying, or your hyperactive friend is blowing up your room, these are things I'd really be mad about.

tl;dr: Point is, if Draco did these "heroic" things for uber "justice" that he did here in real life, I'd have much more admiration for him. Because doing something heroic in real life is much more noble than the same thing on a pixel screen.

 

And if you got punished for it, you probably have a right to be mad then, who was it? But for all I care personally, you could go ahead and marry him even and I get my cool story bro shirt.

Haha, wow.

I just remembered something.

Like a year ago, I found a post by a Draco Straybyrn in a gaming/modding forum bragging with other guys about how he manipulated and trolled a "kids forum".

 

How could I forget something like that >_<

You forgot because you're making it up.

[Yasu]

I'm not.

Besides, I never really trusted that person.

Out-of-context cropped screenshots? Encyclopedia Dramatica? "For Great Justice"? Delete system32? Guy Fawkes?

 

:lol:

Which is why we take December 1st to celebrate his courage and honor his memory.

 

You mean ride his dick.

 

Ya'll need to let Draco's past rest in peace, and let the s*** die. It's ridiculous.

It's a sig... Get over it? .-.

[Legend Zero]

It's a sig... Get over it? .-.

Never said I hated it now did I? No, I simply pointed out the irony that the person who tells others to "let the s*** die. It's ridiculous" still remembers an old childhood TV program.

 

You implying things is something you need to get over. <_<

 

Thanks for the neg Icy...seems you have the same problem. =D

[Larxene]

You're all being whiny jabroniy b****es.

[MarbleZone]

There's nothing left to discuss here, and I'm not sure there ever was to begin with. The way this is headed, it has no reason to stay open.

 

Whoever wanted to know or remember Draco, the topic has been created and discussed, and it's really going nowhere anymore; some will agree with his actions, some will disagree, and some will remain clueless, but the first of December has come and gone and this thread has served its purpose.

 

If you all want this to be reopened badly, PM me.
