Trust me I know you don't have time to screw around with me, I'm not going to try to dispute anything.

My notice has been extremely vague. Tim pointed me to one message stating "she is really dumb" and I don't consider anything I did harassment, nor do the others I asked. If you would kindly show me what specifically has you guys in a bind, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

(thought the twitter mess I'm seeing makes me think this is just a gamercrate issue at heart and I can understand how PR works)

That really reminds me of something I tweeted a long time ago.

It also fits the classic GG response of "WHERE'S THE PROOF, HUH?"

What is GG?

gamergate

I see your reasoning I really do. I'm not going to dispute anything you say or try to prove I am "in the right" or anything like that.

If you re-read yesterdays transcript and think it's not a problem, then there's not much left I can say.

In all honestly... I don't know anything about gamergate (gamercrate?)

So let me just quote a single thing you said, noting that it certainly wasn't the only thing

And at that I'd like to leave this.

Well I said I wouldn't dispute it.

@balpha en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm hahaha. Lighten up.

I won't waste anymore of your time.

@balpha interesting developments. I see you are anti-gamergate, you have followed -as well as @stackexchange- that chick and made this a politics/drama/feminism/raping/tons of fucked up stuff it turns out in this GG thing idk/crazy thing. I don't know the first thing about this drama, or rather I didn't until this morning. I'd rather not make an outstanding issue between us or any of the other room members but I believe someone is trying to "go public" with this new development for Gamers Gate.

I chat in a room 9-5 while I do my shitty job, I call people who insult thousands of other people on no basis "bitches" "assholes" "piece of shit" and many other things. If you create a repository such as hers, you are a bitch. I'd like to be excluded from your personal bias drama with gamers gate and whoever else. I simply don't care for high school anymore.

You made this into something it isn't. I'm not afraid to speak up and say this.

@Jhawins So "I won't waste anymore of your time" - that was just talk, huh?

You asked what specifically was causing problems here - ok, let's answer that:

Don't do it by calling names.

Don't call people "bitches", don't call people "assholes", don't call them "pieces of shit" and don't call them anything else.

And especially don't do it on this nice chat system that balpha and others built as a place for programmers to hang out in where they wouldn't have to deal with all this grade-school crap.

Because that just causes problems. Just causes problems. Has no redeeming qualities - just problems.

If you can't understand how it causes problems, that's fine - go somewhere else. You got a week to think about it - if you wanna come back and contribute constructively to the discussions in the rooms you're in, good on ya; if you don't, don't come back.

That clear?

Either you participate constructively, regardless of topic, or you leave.

Have you seen what she made? A generator to list all the "sheeps" "idiots" and other names

Don't care.

"Don't call people names" -> "But that chick can she's anti-GG"

Whatever this GG stuff is hahahahahaha

Don't know the gal, don't follow her, don't have even one tiny smattering of interest in this whole childish "gamergate" situation.

It's a big joke

Don't know, don't want to know.

My only concern is what happens here, in our chat.

Which at this moment, involves you.

I haven;t read half your rage spiral yet

So shut up and read it.

I have coffee to drink.

Hahahahahha

Is this a joke?

No.

You tell me to be polite

Then you act like this? You're sure making it seem like a joke.

I'm tired, it's early, you're here causing problems and asking why - so I told you. Read it.

> Shut up and read it

yeah - do exactly that. Stop typing, start reading.

Can we have a discussion yet? Or am I still at the other end of the firing range?

Have you read everything I wrote?

Of course.

Because I read everything you wrote.

Well that's good

May I respond in hopes of a constructive conversation?

Or am I still under fire.

If you have something constructive to say, say it. Otherwise, don't.

You have no place here, in this room, talking to me right now. I do not need to be attacked by other moderators or members of the community. I have started a personal conversation with @balpha. If he so chooses, he will respond (albeit chances are a lot lower now that you've "dealt with" it in this way). If not, I will not be ganged up on by other members of Stack Exchange whom I do not have any past involvement with, nor do I know the significance of, in this room.

Why are you here?

@Jhawins so when I said "I read everything you wrote", you didn't read/understand that, apparently.

^ I can;t make sense of that statement.

balpha doesn't work a 9-5 job. It's quite late where he's at. But you invited him into a room and asked him a question, and when he answered you said you wouldn't waste any more of his time. And then kept talking. Asserting your right to insult others.

This room is public - it's sitting at the top of the room list for chat.meta right now.

If you thought you were getting a private discussion, you were wrong.

So now I'm here, responding to you.

Because you asked a question, and apparently didn't feel like the answer was satisfactory.

So I answered it. In what I sincerely hope were no uncertain terms.

And instead of reading, understanding, and responding... You're debating my right to engage with you here, in public?

Ha, you are here "because you can"

I'm not here to have public conversation.

Then you can leave.

Leave the room I created?

How about this. If you don't want to have a talk with me, you can leave.

That makes a lot more sense ;)

@Jhawins No, you can leave Stack Exchange.

But you've removed any hope of having more of a discussion here anyway.

Is that my pink slip?

You now have a week suspension everywhere on the network

Hahaha. And why?

I'm sorry I just don't get this all

During this time, I expect you to think long and hard about whether you care to contribute constructively - adding value to discussions rather than name-calling.

You guys need to learn how to live, lighten up.

When you're done, either come back and participate politely, or don't come back.

@Shog9 can I get a private room with you?

@BenjaminGruenbaum if it can be a brief discussion - I'm kinda falling behind on things today already.
