 Screw equality and fairness
Her's an idea to deal with posters and fights that break out: you get into a bullshit fight, you get a wanring ban for a week. No questions asked, provoked or unprovoked, whatever. God dman, we fight about so much little nonsensical things it staggers that most people can even work the keyboard enough to find this website, let alone spew their inane babble onto the forum into enough incoherent sentences and form the vague hints of a decent "argument".
Seriously, sleeping in a cinema? Who cares. No, seriously, who cares. It's not about right or wrong. Who honestly cares? I don't care who's right or wrong, I care that this is wasting time, space and bandwidth for nothing. Screw this whole uneasiness to dish out a warning. I demand justice for having to sit through this. I feel significantly more stupid just for reading it, let alone going on this stupid rant.

An obviously neccessary bylaw. In fact, just put me in charge. I'll be the best [s]dictator[/s] admin ever.

So you are suggesting that the mod who started a fight gets banned for a week?
Or Moviedude gets banned for a week for following me around the forums and posting abuse wherever I go? Chipmunky? How about Torri? Jon? Dare I go on? All of the people who basically started a fight with me because I said it was rude to sleep in a theater? Which is bizarre because, like insomniacdude says, who cares? I dont even care that much. He can do what he damn well wants, if my friends did it, i probably wouldnt even care THAT much. But it was too late, because apparently voicing my passing opinion on an in-cinema act that i personally find pretty distasteful was enough to merit an attack on my character. Twice.
Sounds good to me! I dont care about these things enough to report them to the mods, but since were on the topic... A simple comment was blown out of proportion by someones penchant for dropping sly abuse into their posts and someone elses inability to think and not speak (mine). I still dont think that because im loud and i dont care that it makes it okay to dump the blame on me for a situation that is not entirely my fault. Perhaps Its a good idea for me to learn when to shut up, because at first when i responded to the agression I thought the thread would die quickly after some light sparring - not so. I probably could have stopped it before it started. But so could Zingaling and he did not bother. That said im not really concerned about the situation either. I dont particularly like any of the people I came into agressive contact with. No skin off my back. You know what really blew the thing out of proportion though? When other people who had not a damn thing to do with what was going on started jumping in and posting threads about it elsewhere. I dont understand that.
Honestly, the thread should have been locked AGES ago.

by the way, can someone unlock my hugs thread? I wanted to thank people for my hugs! I dont see why my thread should be locked because Moviedude chose it to come in and tell me im shit. I had no plans to respond any further to him than i already have, I have nothing to say to him or anyone else I've made my opinions clear about in the past few days.

You know ... I had been avoiding a certain thread for a bit only cause i'd spent the entire last week blasting da vinci code and i think people needed a break.
turns out the entire thread starting page 3 was all about zingaling's sleeping habits at the movie theater. no wait, i just checked again. it started page 1.
you know .. people know my history with felicity (michael) so its not something i really want to comment on ..
but what bothered me in that thread was something that eagle and i used to have a major problem with. I'm no longer admining this forum nor is eagle but i do believe in sharing my personal opinion on this.
Getluv's attacks towards people are just unacceptable. while some of the other arguments (still of a controversial nature) revolved around the subject at hand, GetLuv's comments were just blatant attacks involing a wide array of colorful language directed towards users on this forum.
This is where I personally draw the line on things. Calling an entire board of people fuckaroos just because you dont agree with them shouldn't be flying here and following that up with another 8 pages of attacks for whatever reason is quite unacceptable. Its blatantly against any rule here and I'd wish for the mods and admins to consider this before even proceeding to the case involving felicity, zing and moveidude.
just for the record though, i finally read through that da vinci code thread. zing commented on falling asleep, and others retorted back continously with their disapproval. I'm sorry but zing did not start that fight in any given form. and keeping the fight going about sleeping in a theater for 12 pages is rather pathetic and then calling out a mod for starting that one is even sadder. if you plan on devoting 12 pages to calling someone out on sleeping in a theater when the thread was about something completely different, maybe you should take a look at yourself first.

Voicing your dissapproval for someone falling asleep is called "starting a fight"? Seriously?
There were no personal attacks.
There were statements made on what is and what is not acceptable in theater conduct.
I wasn't the one who called Zingaling "odd" and "stupid".

Michael, all I'd suggest is maybe laying low for a bit and perhaps distancing yourself from getluv, unless you wouldn't mind a mandatory break from the forums.

*sigh*
I've thought this through
As I said to BaBa on MSN. I think I'm done being Felicity Titwank. I just don't have the energy any more
Most of what i've done on this site has been independently concious. I've seen how people have reacted to a high level of obnoxious behavior, It has been fun to have this bizarre alter ego that has really caused such huge personal vendettas despite doing very little apart from participating in arguments at the drop of a statement, never knowing when to shut up and keep ones opinion to oneself and being painfully honest to a fault, all exaggerations of the worst parts of me and you and everyone you know. I apologise if anyone was deeply hurt by anything I've said. Or angered or whatnot, I guess you have every right to be. But you have to remember that this is a forum on a website and not everyone is here to take each other seriously, too much faith is placed on face value and presumptions. I might have been pushing the blame around on this latest situation justifiably, but in the big picture of my actions here, I'd say those people have every right to be pissed off, because I know as well as they do that I've been provocative on a number of occasions. Therefore, having admitted that Titwank has run it's course I think that the zany and annoying conduct must come to an end. I never really had a desire to get to know people here on the basis of my true personality, those who I did are already on my msn list, but I don't see what the point would be to keep the charade up any more. A few people here knew what I was doing, the majority did not, either way I got some great entertainment and have been very interested to see how people have reacted and responded to various scenarios. Some people have a lot more patience than others, and to those people I say kudos, and to the others I say sorry.
Felicity Titwank is over.

while everyone came and said they dont have an issue with the sleeping, you managed to drag the discussion on for 14 pages, generalized and accused americans of having bad ethics, defended your stance on peeing (which many including those that aren't your friends find annoying when someone gets up) while accusing another to fall asleep cause its personally something YOU'RE not okay with, called others who came in to defend zingaling obnoxious pricks even before zingy replied back, you continually call zingaling as someone who is rude to all his friend yet consider it an attack when he calls you odd (and hence, according to you begins a fight) when calling someone rude and not considerate of his/her social circle obviously is no where close to being a personal attack according to you (for the record, neither really is a big deal), accuse others for not having good manners and educating people on etiquettes while you seem to be okay with things that others dont find good manners either, while zingy feels that its stupid for a friend to be offended by him falling asleep, you give your abrupt nos like you're the authority on if one thing is right and if one thing is wrong, while others still admit that they dont know your situation and can't judge this whole peeing experience, you continually state that what zing did is an absolute wrong even though you have no idea if his friends are actually offended or not, ofcourse after that, you accuse him of "call anything and anyone who doesn't function exactly the same as you do "absolutely weird". " while you still continue your rant on what is not acceptable by you is rude and there is no 2 ways around it, you asked a bunch of your friends if they'd be offended and they said yes while half the forum is calling out that they won't have an issue with it thus underlying that your opinion on the subject is not universal yet you continually keep pointing out how zing only thinks others react the way he does but no .. you based your entire opinion on things on the circle you hang out with.
Michael, i've been typinng that with that thread open and honestly, i'm only upto page 3 of it (outside of the generalization of american and their moral and ethical behaviour) ... i'm too tired to even continue.
i said lets not bring this up but really, it just gets too annoying. you're terribly hypocritical when it comes to your stance on things. you accuse others of generalizing their behavior on things yet you stick by your guns on how you would be and thus, others should conform to it. you spend all your time accusing others of being immature and yhow you expect nothing more from them yet you create accounts such as fartboobs, spend time talking about liquid coming out of people's vaginas, spin arguments every which way when they dont support you and finally drag an argument on for 12 to 14 pages over someone falling freaking asleep in a theater. you mention things that are subjective!!!
you know ... i find it slightly annoying when people fall asleep, not because its rude but because i watch films on opening night and you just took away the seat of a person who may have wanted to see it. but you know .. you fall asleep cause the movie was sucking, i dont blame ya ... you fall asleep cause you were tired, i'll try to wake ya up and no harm done ... but honestly .. at the end of the way .. thats just my FREAKING opinion on things!!! others are different (as already mentioned by the tens of people on this board who have already stated they dont care if someone falls asleep).
peeing is the same. its terribly annoying when someone walks by you holding his wee wee, opening the door to let the light in and then finally returning and disturbing all those around you to get to your seat. but hey .. when ya gotta go, you gotta go. you dont plan to take a leak and miss the film. people understand and people dismiss it as an annoyance. you obviously dont see an issue with it and thats the bloody point.
your aarguments are based on things that are completely subjective. but what gets to me is how hypocritical you get in them. you defend what YOU feel is right but blast others for what YOU feel is wrong. worse yet, you call others for being immature if they argue back with you, tell them they lack common curtesy and what not. this is the same thing going back to the celebrity arguments you used to have. you used to blast everyone for saying something remotely negative about garner (and celebrities in general), then say shit about christina aguilera and when people called you out, you defended yourself as doing nothing wrong, then a couple of months later, you started stating that celebrities were fair game for everyone.
ofcourse, when people like us type back and call you out on them, the expected reply from you is always
"This is ridiculous" or "I dont believe this" or "I'm done here" or "I guess i shouldn't have expected any kind of maturity from KJ .. what was i thinking" or "Frankinipple reference insert here".
SO yea .. sorry for opening up the trap doors and spilling it all out but really, thats how i feel on the entire thing. as soon as someone does something that you dont approve of, you make such a big scene of it, it isn't even funny. learn to accept the fact that different cultures behave in different ways and just because they dont do what you do doesn't make it any less unethical, any less ruder or any less curteous. i guess the next time you tip a guy a quid for 10 quids you spend, i should call you uncourteous too!

Well, to an extent, yes. Although shifting the blame to a pisstake entirely probably isn't fair. There has always been a bit of Michael in the titwank, but FT was me at my very worst. I knew on several occasions that I shouldn't be doing things I went ahead and did. That said, it didn't take that much for people to roll out the situations. This should have been some sort of social study. I suppose the name "Felicity Titwank" might have been some assortment of a hint that I wasn't to be taken very seriously. But still people did.
I'd expect a ban as well. It'd be well deserved and i'd have no problem with it. I've given the site staff here a headache for long enough about too many things.

Michael and getluv, here's a nice little warning to you both.
Sommie, in the future please address your feelings to the mods/admins privately first. I wasn't even aware of any of this because I never looked at the 'Sleeping in the cinema' thread (thank god?).
Michael, on top of this, as part of your punishment your username will go back to Mikepepsi for 2 weeks.

Sounds okay to me. I do hope though that these actions are part of the bigger picture of my purposetrolling and not just based on the most recent events, although I dont really have the energy or the position to dispute anything about this. I'm just hoping it was for my overall conduct as titwank.

By far the very best post on the whole stance.

Meh. Maybe because I haven't been paying enough attention lately, or haven't in the past, but if someone would have told me your actions as Felicity have been conciously different (and worse) than as any other name, I wouldn't have believed it.
Not because I think you're always "that bad", but because, outside of this latest ordeal (where I hardly think you're the only one at fault), I just haven't noticed anything worth getting upset about.
Oh well. Glad it's "over", I guess..

Note to self...
Things I can do
Feel free to make racist jokes, group groups of people together in a degrading way
Things I can't do
Call someone a fuckaroo, or continuously argue one side of an argument using bad words.
We should start a list in order to get some consistency.

If you want to, you can be in charge of said list.
Look, I know there may not be a lot of consistancy when it comes to moderating her,e but we do try andput mitigating factors in perspective. Just don't be a jackass, and you should be fine.
