One ill-considered uncomfortable joke on a message board, made by someone who momentarily forgot the other person's age and didn't even have it consciously in mind when he made the joke, has been compared to literal and deliberate child abuse, predatory grooming, and real statutory rape. One bad joke. The age of legal consent has been invoked to dismiss the fact that the recipient of the remark was not offended, as if consenting to physical sex is the same as consenting to a dirty joke on a message board, or as if 17 is not old enough to be able to say a dirty joke didn't scar you for life. This has been a level of outrage that should only be reserved for people who actually intend to molest minors, yet at no point has there been any intent to molest any minors at all -- no intent to molest anyone. There has just been a bad joke. I have no problem seeing why it made anyone uncomfortable, but the sheer degree of the response was at least 60% about preexisting personal hate for bish.

PC Culture is toxic...extreme PC culture is inherently a violation of the 1st amendment
Don't forget silly, tribal, and overreactionary. Doesn't matter if the person you addressed wasn't offended, you still have to apologize to the whole world and everyone's feelings. The mob won't relent until you do.

@Annie_ESocialBookworm
Given that the person he made the remark to said he was quite all right, and that no harm was done at all, I'm not sure who you expected him to apologize to. You, and all the other people who were offended? That is just not how it should work, and yet I see it working more and more like that in PC culture.This (post to gather pity) could have been avoided if you'd acknowledged your mistake and genuinely apologized. Your lack of remorse leaves me with a distaste and honestly, I used to like you so it's a pity you didn't mature over the years. I am sorry for kicking you while you are down (this is one way to apologize by the way) but I suggest you find some way to work on yourself to handle the responsibility of being a moderator and deal with the personal issues we have discussed privately that lead you to this point.

Ha. Well, I'm at least 10% drama whore myself, so it would be at least 10% hypocritical of me to slam them too hard. I never set any fireworks off myself, but I have repeatedly been guilty of watching the fireworks with popcorn. I'm terrible.

@Mage-CPA
Is this level of drama normal on this website?
It's not uncommon. Some people get bored to tears if there's not some e-drama to get their blood racing, and when you have personalities like that on a forum you can expect them to regularly attempt to provoke drama.

@Mharman
Do you really want to lose Virt as deputy over this? I get where you're coming from, but I still think he's a good guy and a good mod, and it would really be a shame to lose him over one slip-up. I'd rather be removed as mod than see Virt removed. He's much more valuable -- he brings a positive and supportive undercurrent to the primary mod team, he's likable and fair, he puts people at ease, and despite this last small error, I have always found his character to be trustworthy.

Fiend! Blasphemy. We all know Jesus was explicitly anti-robot-clone-army, it was the last thing he said to his disciples at the Last Supper.

@RationalMadman
Interesting. So what exactly does it take to qualify as an "elite"? Being part of some shadowy, manipulative in-crowd? Is "elite" a putdown or a compliment of status? Do elites have to have DDO tenure?

@Wylted
Ah, Wylted. When you're the one getting your rocks off at someone's expense, you're relentless and remorseless in your self-indulgence. Then you get one tiny taste of what it might be like to be on the receiving end, and suddenly you're all about seriousness and composure. Such shallow flip-flopping.
Not that I think you're 100% serious about all this or anything.

Well by "can't force a meme" I meant can't force a new one. Obviously memes that already exist are much easier to carry off.
Just like Joe mama was easy to carry off. Bam.

A deep-cover contact of mine (alias "Deep Flush") can get you a picture of the clogged toilet as evidence. I will send it to you. You will soon see the value of what I can contribute to this investigation.

@Wylted
Castin has not been cleared of any involvement in the subject matter. If she wishes to assist the investigation, I would urge her to release all documents she has pertaining to the investigation, such as screenshots of PMs between herself and all suspects including but not limited to bsh1 7th theft, tyrone virtuoso and spacetime as well. as the hammer
I also heard that one time she pooped in a public toilet and it clogged but she just ran out like a coward.
I am certain if you just give me my investigator's license I can corner her. She's a slippery bitch.

he forced a meme, eat your hat.
Now, now. Joe mama was already a meme, to be fair.
We just mounted it and took it for a ride like Joe mama did last night.

@coal
This is outrageous. You are making up rules out of thin air. I demand an objective third party investigation into the matter of my admission as assistant investigator. You are obviously trying to influence the results of the investigation to tilt things in your favor. This I suspect goes deeper than what has been made publicly known. This investigation into your investigation will need to be investigated by an unbiased third party such as myself and my appointees.
My goal is to get at the truth, and your cooperation would be useful and would go a long way at proving your innocence.

I will be your assistant. Why don't we team up and divide our labor -- you investigate bish and Virt, and I will investigate the moderator who banned you.

Why are you acting like the the only component of his ban was attempted election interference.
Or were you joking. If you were joking, pretend I picked up on it immediately and said something really witty in response.

@Lunatic
The thread title is asking if Jesus is me?
It is also asking if Jesus was "a" Lunatic, as if there are more of you. Are you a clone? Or a robot android with multiple other identical models? When is your friend Liar going to get here? Is he also a robot? The title question implies he is. Or a clone. Like you.
I find this highly suspicious. Clearly you and your friend (who is yet absent, probably busy setting up a sniper position while you keep us all distracted, I don't doubt) are planning a takeover with your robot clone armies who may or may not be named Jesus.

@AvoidDeath
What, you mean the homophobic and racial slurs he used on bish? Slurs against mods are not prosecutable. If you banned him just for that, you'd be banning him a month for no violation. You'd be cool with that? Can't relate.
