Straybyrn Draco Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Good evening, Yugioh Card Maker Forums. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone’s death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this day, one week from December the 1st, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into instant messengers, and moderators with delete buttons will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this forum, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the moderator team and its leader, YCMaker. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. I sought to end that silence. I questioned the moderation and created a controversy to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. I aim to do the same for December the first. So if you’ve seen nothing, if the crimes of this administration remain unknown to you, then I would suggest you allow the first of December to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one week from tonight, outside these forums, and together we shall give them a first of December that shall never, ever be forgot. This account is in no way associated with Draco Straybyrn. Read the goddamn name, its STRAYBYRN profanity removed DRACO! GET IT OR GET OUT.

It was "matched with" accounts used in the raids; I presume this to mean IP addresses, although it could be something slightly different if this site is able to construct usermaps (which I doubt). Also, why would I be concerned with shutting anybody up? You know that I don't take any of this silly drama at all seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I should have clarified, his IP address matched with those who participated in the raids. Like Crab already said, the usage of the f-word would not get a permanent ban, but the other evidence that was found would and did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
