Sct disabled. Help?

[Brandon]

...whereas I'm mature enough not to call you childish names, to me makes me a better person.

...

I also never said I was perfect, nor did I state I didn't ever make a mistake. That also doesn't make me a hypocrite for making a memory mistake. Just fyi.

I also never said my college education made me more mature than anyone.

...(calling me a Retard when I have a college education and you don't is kinda funny though) whereas I'm mature enough not to call you childish names, to me makes me a better person.

You do realize that typically anything that's put in braces is usually a side comment, often times a thought or sarcastic comment. I guess you didn't find the joke in calling someone a retard when they're getting a college education (which would be pretty damn tough.. this is a side comment btw) is silly. Regarding the second part, I was referring to the topic at hand. What that means is, when someone is trying to have a serious conversation and you walk in and go "LOL YOU'RE A RETARD!!!!" is immature.

No doubt there's a clear explanation for these clear examples of what is the spitting image of hypocrisy.

If it's due to my lack of college education then I truly apologise...

Has nothing to do with your education there I don't think. More to do with you toying with my words and meaning I'd say.

Alas, gone are the days when quoting word for word was deemed valid then.

There I was getting confused with the real world again..

[Brandon]

You stated nothing but your own personal bull which was set out to tarnish ScTs image. You still have no proof, no facts and no data to back up anything, so why try and convince the FST users that you have? They cant really be that dumb to believe your words are true?

Just give up on you little vendetta to tarnish ScT, its Staff and users. Spend some time working on your own site rather than trying to rip others.

If you continue this little feud you have as much sense as a brick wall.

And again... This somehow turns into a personal attack.
I stated facts in what I said btw, go back and read again. I also stated opinions and theories, yes. Am I trying to tarnish sct? No. I clearly said that sct had a ton of potential. Why would I say that? I also remember saying that I never expected people to believe what I said, but it was an important enough topic to me that I wanted to speak out about it.

There is no feud. Read the majority of my posts, and read the majority (all) of your posts as well as some of the other sct posters. Every one of them is a personal attack against me in their full entirety. Even in this post.. I'm not even bashing you

If I recall correctly (correct me if i'm wrong) the only thing I said that could be considered bashing was saying you were being immature.. I'm pretty sure you're the one causing the feud.

That's like me doing this:

Yea I'm a junk food whore myself also (Yea I think candybars are awesome). Butterfingers suck though because they taste like shit.

And then you saying I said candy bars suck and tasted like shit...


It seems to be a trend for the sct crew to come in here and change a topic that was originally about sct, into a topic that becomes personal and all about me. Why is that?

... Are you serious? it seems to be a trend for you to come into ScT topics and post your crap. Get your facts straight Mr B... oh hang on, that will never happen

Well I'm not expecting you to necessarily read imbetween the lines, but maybe just from the beginning of the line to the very end would be helpful.
Bold is often used to highlight certain words or phrases, it isn't an excuse to ignore any words imbetween. (I'm surprised it wasn't in that grammar book you've read explaining 'braces', 'sarcasm' and such)

It seems to be a trend for the sct crew to come in here and change a topic that was originally about sct, into a topic that becomes personal and all about me. Why is that?

1)The topic is about ScT.
2)ScT Staff/Members responded.
...it's all going well so far, bear with me..(p.s. don't forget to read this even though it's not in bold)...
3)You turn up criticising ScT's rules/ethos/Staff/Feeling/kimii
4)The thread deviates

Again I am no genius, but it is not difficult to see where the change in topic comes from

My crap? You mean my opinions? Since when was it a crime or wrong to post one's opinion.. Seems your facts are a bit jagged.. not mine. Oh look, another sarcastic attack by you. Who would have thought..

My point was that the two weren't together in the same context... Let me break it down for YOU since you obviously aren't able to comprehend.

"(calling me a Retard when I have a college education and you don't is kinda funny though)"
^^ That was a sarcastic comment. As in, you shouldn't call someone a retard when they're the ones in college getting a degree and you aren't. Make sense?


"whereas I'm mature enough not to call you childish names, to me makes me a better person."
^^ this part was saying that I'm mature enough to have a mature conversation and not just come here and try to belittle someone by calling them names and putting nothing into the topic.

1) yes it is.
2) they sure did, nobody disagreed with that.
3) there's this thing called constructive criticism. Basically what happens is you point out something unfavorable, and if you're lucky the people who can change it do. There's also this thing called "having an opinion". Don't tell me you never disagree with something and say it. Ever had an exam and say "man this exam sucks.." Same concept. Regarding criticizing people, there was much more criticism against me from those 3 people than me to them combined.
4) you're adding to it.

Stop taking everything I say as an automatic negative comment. I even stated ways I felt sct could better handle things.. Like giving 1 invite to every user when you raised the db. It's more constructive criticism coming from me regarding some actions, not against the site as a whole.
I wouldn't say a site had potential, or say "why not do this instead?", or try to give any other positive insight on something if I hated it.
When you were little, did your parents ever do something and you would tell them you hated them for it, only to realize later on that they only did it b/c they actually cared? I'll be as blunt as I possibly can. I think sct as an enormous amount of potential. I also think sct can do an amazing amount of contribution to the torrent community as a whole, especially after the oink situation. I wouldn't waste my time writing paragraphs about something if I just wanted to bash it. Don't forget Feeling, you and I used to be really close at one time. I was also a staff member there for a bit, so don't think that doesn't mean anything. I don't even think I would admit to being a former staff member there if I hated sct so much. Would be more of an embarrassment to me wouldn't it?

Anyways.. As usual I don't hold things against people. It's rather obvious there are some harsh personal feelings against me based on some misinterpretations of what I say and what was said in my name, so I can pretty much see why you would take everything I say in such a negative aspect without hesitation. No intention from me about straight bashing anything or anyone and I do apologize if that was what you interpreted. It does sadden me though that you feel the need to intentionally bash me.

Captain Obvious and his team of defenders to the rescue. If there is one thing high school chemistry did teach me, its that when you add more oxygen to a fire, the fire doesn't extinguish itself. To dumbify this, if said flame is contained in presence of no oxygen, said flame burns out. Said idiots need to stop supplying said flame with said oxygen to fuel said path of destruction. If you don't understand this metaphor, you are most likely said idiot keeping this flame alive and burning more said houses down.

I took the time to read this thread, as it seems I am the only one who doesn't bother to consume myself with the wealth of intelligence that seems to be prevalent in the high quality forum content bestowed upon FST. I do believe that if it were possible to combine the total IQ of all the members, we would have what they in the scientific world, call a breakthrough, a number which by even today's advances in science would have a hard time representing. Perhaps I live in the dark, and perhaps this dark isn't really dark at all, only when looking from the outside in. I'm glad I took the objective advice on the tinting though, the initial outlay now when I think about it, has paid for itself many times over.

Anyway thats enough sarcasm for one post, I didn't even think I had that in me, guess I shouldn't have doubted myself.

I'm not going to quote anybody, quoting is lame, and if you don't understand what I am referencing, tough shit, read the thread properly. I'm also not here as a soldier to fight a war that is based on misconception (kinda reminds me of the whole iraq debarcle), since this isn't a discussion on politics that comparison ends just as it began.

Celtic, I respect you're standing up for what you are, and as a friend to Brandon, I respect you standing by his side. You are also a friend to me, and we both know exactly how I stand on these matters, and that I wouldn't be posting here if I thought there were other alternatives.

Brandon, what can I say you're a friend, you are standing up for what you believe in (or at least that was what I believed before I read through every post of this thread), but you need to drop this now. Once perhaps there was a cause for your personal interference in such related matters, but now as it stands, there is no cause, and there is no war to fight. You really need to step back and take a good look at what you are doing here, and really ask yourself if that cause you were once defending (P2L, the cause that I stood strongly against also, and by you on it) is that same cause that has you back here today "defending the public from injustice of p2p tyrants".

I came here to read this with a fresh state of mine, completely non-objective to all parties involved in the discussion, and no chosen side to fight for. And now here I sit writing this, wondering why you are still fighting, wondering what exactly the cause you are claiming to be defending has to do this thread. If I'm missing something, please point it out to me, because in all honesty I've read over each post here three times, from start to finish, and there is no logical cause here worth, that could even come close to being worth as much as the combined hours you have to devoted to actively both defacing and defending.

What you did earlier on for the OP, if I was a soldier I would say it was commendable and my support would be there, but on the other if I was your commanding officer, you would have been immediately reprimanded for your actions while could compromise your team. I'll elaborate on this, just as Josef Stalin said it himself, "One mans death is a tragedy, but the death of a million men a statistic". This simply means while for the lesser picture what you did made a difference, my problem is this. The bigger picture is the one where your vigiliante like behaviour is no longer based on pure good intent.

You have an army of puppets here, ready to flame others at will, ready to fight for whatever you say is worth fighting for, its just a shame they speak like they are packing MP5s, but what they forgot to tell you was, they aren't ready to go down in your name.

On the other hand the real people that will hypothetically take every bullet for you, the ones who time after time defend your erratic actions, speak up on your behalf to defend something you have gone and done not considering the consequences, and I would even go as far as saying are your own personal clean up as well, no questions asked, all fucks up treated with equal importance, have you coming back to a spotless home, like nothing ever happened.

Ask yourself this question Brandon, Which is more important,

a) the respect and love from a bunch of puppets that I know for a fact you wouldn't be able to tell me anything more about than I can clearly see in front of me.


b) the respect and loyalty of your real friends, the ones who have the balls to step up to you and tell you honestly that "you need to stop acting like a damn fool in public places, you need to really drop this bullshit once and for all, its not healthy, and most importantly WHAT SCT DOES WITHIN SCT'S SITE IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM, stop devoting so much damn time you constantly point out at every opportunity to many people you apparently don't have with all your study commitments. From one friend to another, drop this whole ftn is better than sct drama. It's one thing competing for fun for the best pre-times, I'm all for that, just don't make it personal, you have a bad habit of doing that. It's not personal, therefore don't let your emotions dictate your actions.

I don't know if you have noticed, but the reason Feeling isn't defending himself has nothing to do with you're apparent paranoid beliefs he has something to hide. He isn't defending himself to your outrageous claims simply because in this particular scenario, there can be no victory no matter how he plays it out. He doesn't care what the users here think of him and his site, and therefore he has no reason to justify wasting his time defending himself. For this he gets my respect. So if my respect and the respect of the people that are important to me, and therefore should be important to you is worth anything, please take the advice of a friend and follow suit.

I expect you to be offended, even hurt by me stepping out in public and saying this. I've tried my best to stay non-objective. If you feel that in my posting this, you believe I have some kind of unresolved beef or problem with you, don't even bother telling me in private, because I can tell you right now anything more I will have to say on the matter, will cut deep.

I honestly was never going to use this account here to post on this place, but after having people come to me asking "what the f**k is going on with all this FST warring with you and SCT", and me having no prior knowledge of this till this evening past. I then knew, everything i've ever said to you within the confines our friendship, that you have ensured me you understood and that you clearly realised certain mistakes that you have made (you are only human). Now after reading this thread Brandon, the only thing I can say is I'm disappointed in you, first for your public display of such childish behaviour and clear disregard for people you claim of importance to you. Second, in relation to the first, not only do your actions here reflect your ability as a leader, but how they also reflect on your team (your friends). If you find anything I've said here selfish reread and rethink it. I'm not going to stand by and let you make any more of an ass of yourself than you clearly have on this thread.

Back the fuq up, forget about this place, start showing the people you say you care about, that they can depend on you just like you depend on them when shit hits the fan. You've got some damn shit hot people standing behind you, so if not for yourself, but for the FTN you were a founder of, you have devoted so much time to, and still claim that your heart belongs to, don't fuq this one up. Whatever you need say the word and we'll make it so, but you need to say it, and you need to stop leaving a trail of destruction everywhere you go. Running away using your studies as a reason you are not completely there, or you are absent for extended periods, is such a childish act.

We've discussed the shit on your mind, and I gave you word I'd cut you some slack, but look Brandon, if you want to be cut slack, quit this bullshit between you and Feeling, shake hands and accept that you both have different ideals, but you are neither far from different, worlds apart, but you both share similar motivations and both share similar long term goals.

While you're at it, if you care for Kimii as much as you clearly pointed out throughout this thread, and that most importantly I know you do. Be happy for her, and for her decisions, if doing what she is doing makes her happy, respect that decision even if you don't completely agree with it. If you want to be her friend, be a friend don't get in her way, don't get in his way, let them live their lives, and fate decide the rest. You are not fate, therefore you shouldn't be the one deciding what is best for her, trust her judgement. I know I do, and I have my reasons, so if you can't trust her judgement, at least trust mine.

Sincerely,

Part time n00b/Full time ghost.

I'm still a ghost even though I've posted this, and will remain that. Don't ask who I am cause if you don't know, then you clearly don't need to know. So please show me the respect I show you guys, I'm posting here as a friend, not as a anything else. Feeling, Brandon, Kimii, et al I know we have a common understanding how I feel about this place and public exposure in general, so I know there will be no question about paying that due respect to me.

Thought this thread was about ScT...apparently it is about who can make themselves look better on the internet (side comment....hopefully you have heard this already and I am just refreshing your memory...."arguing on the internet is like the special olympics....even if you win...you are still retarded")

[SpeedFreak]

its MESSAGE not MASSAGE

a "massage" is what u get from an asian girl in garden grove

MelvinMeow said he'd give skeetzoo a massage he will stop being a dick and let him back on here

[redcorvette]

okay so now i sleep for 5 hours (after talking to melvinmeow on the phone from 1am-3am...he dooesnt stop) and now i see some ppl from sct actually posting. but why are you guys posting against Brandon. I know he's criticizing sct and you know that too. Instead of brawling him out of the bar, why not show your /manly/ side in the very same bar? Not that i am trying to mock you, but merely asking you to reply to his criticism and not him!

okay so you know he is wrong, but we dont. why dont you say something against it, not him. Well, if you merely made accounts here to watch the fun, we arent hearing your side of the argument, in ANY of these kind of threads. yea you say that Brandon rants in any "sct disabled" thread, tell me on thread where a persons' FTN got disabled for no pointless reason! hell you guys are being like BitMeTV, trying to be ruthless in who you chop the heads off just cuz his invitee's invitees were ratio cheaters. How is the original guy on the top of the invite tree supposed to know that the small fish were going to die??

Well, its kinda like becoming more of a personal attack with every post being made now, by everyone. Its a "cause and effect" kind of a thing. Certain times, i just wish this thread would stop like when that speed-freak (the closet guy) posted in here. But other than that, this seems to be like any other heated up argument i have been in.

Till now, i may not have seen such huge of a personal attack on anyone, and thats why i think the staff havent locked this thread yet.

I completely understand Brandon's point of view. I have sct and i know it has a lot of potential even after being so good at what they do. If u guys wanna be the best, try to change something, tell us that you will change. There is no guidance in your posts Feeling. So i dont know who to side on, yours or Brandons (side on as in being against or for brandon's arguments and not him.) Hell, you could probably asuume that i am an ftn fanboy by the way i present my posts, but do you rather know that i have spent more time on sct than on ftn?? you didnt know taht. well the the question would remain: Why am i standing by brandon's side?? well, its kinda obvious. the other side of the argument is always constant. either they are tired of posting back or they know its a win-win situation for brandon (i am not implying anything by this; its only a chioces i assume to be on their mind).

@Zeus
If you really want something worth your money, go pay for newsgroup servers and you'll get much better speeds than sct or ftn or TL. That is if you really want worth your money. Dont talk about making profit here. we donate cuz we feel like. I, personally have never donated cuz i am not allowed to spend money on these type of things, but if i ever could there would be only one place i would donate (tophos). yes that is the only place where i actually had fun with the staff and everyone!

@Brandon
dude, i know you went through the loss of losing your friend. But never use it as an excuse EVER. unless you want to be bogged by your own excuse. If you do so, the person itself will attack you WITHOUT sympathy as in they would be thinking "thats what he gets for dragging me into this kind of shit" if u get my jist??

Well, i see where you are going with these arguments Brandon, but its not how hard a hit you can take, but how hard before you try to hit back. You see they are trying to make a fool of you by saying you dont have enough education. People who know you well, know how educated you are. dont digress away from the main argument due to these little hilly-billies! I myself am not an expert at english, but i do know that they are derisively (haha i just figured out this word a few minutes ago) attacking you. Dont try to hit back at them...its always how long and how many can you take them before you be like them.

I know it hurts, but its always better for oneself. It used to happen to me until i stopped caring what they said about me and started caring if they said anything bad about my family. That is one thing I WILL NOT TOLERATE no matter who it be (my best friend or my worst enemy). I know i digress with all this talk, but isnt this what we all are seeing here right now?? i mean i see personal attacks flying everywhere and me going under them and trying to help them be "sorted out"

wayyyy off topic: And yea OMG..dont even talk about being funny. i have been at tophos...ask melvin how badly i get raped there. hes been talking to me for sometime now and for some days....ask him, he'll tell you more about me Hey i could merely walk out of this thread without saying a freakin' word, but hey i like to be debating in topics that interest me. If i wanted something worth my money, i would go for newsgroups cuz hey they can fucking max your ISP speeds from 100days (depends which plan) of posting an nzb. And if you guys think i should be respected enough, then bow down NAOU!!

Spoiler: Show

and lick my balls when you're down there too!
