The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
The Situation: Contrary to popular belief, I was actually off SR for 10 days, until the pressure got too far for me to handle. I promised Stryke that I wouldn't return for 30 days, but the torment, insults and accusations behind my back have got to me to the point where I have to come back and make a statement.
My statement: I want to thank those who stood up for me (namely Edgy) and reported certain people for particular offences (though I doubt much will be done). Next agenda - Mr Snuggly. Now, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I was wondering if we can start a clean slate and I can be eligible for GAD again and it can go back to normal. Notables, contenders and anyone else whose wondering. I will not be starting a boycott unless myself or others are bullied. We have the support, but I really don't want to start a war on these forums. To anyone that has badmouthed me: I don't hate you, but am incredibly disappointed at your ignorance and the pure fact that you had to say it behind my back. I don't enjoy FOG as much as I used to, partly due to my own selfishness, but everyone on here is so hostile towards each other now, and trying to catch each other copying (and copying too!). When it was me, Grix, Golden Rhino, SSX Pro and Dringo, it was perfect. This grading system is in my opinion a sham and is not the right way to go about things.
The bottom line is this: I want it to go back to normal, with NO insults, because I have a zero tolerance for bullying on these forums and I'm sick to death of it. I want to win GAD's, I want to chat about games, films and life, and I want to be accepted, if I can put the term loosely. I still stand by my premise that the "I HATE YOU!" post was a joke, and SR were thinking up any reason to get me banned. However, I just wanna start again as Desert Beetle and make some friends on here, and possible make the peace between a few enemies. I don't want this topic filled up with crap about how much of a "loser" I am, but sensible contributions. I don't mind honest opinions, but please keep the insults to a very low minimum. Cheers. Shaun.
This happened, about three months ago, and it happened before that, and before that, and for as long as I can remember.

And that is why I know that you'll always be serving me food and blaming others for your lot.

I don't agree with saying that.
Fair enough, he could've made it up, just as I could with the bulying (ask darkmark, he can vouch for some of it), but saying he is probably this that and the other isn't justified.
Shaneo doesn't deserve abuse, but Snuggly reserves the right to withhold his GAD chances (it's not like he doesn't have good reason to!) until he see's fit.
So long as Shaneo doesn't screw up again in some way in the near future, I can't see that restriction lasting for so long...

> has against Shaneo for one incident.
Ordinarily I'd agree, but I can see that Snuggly would take this personally, and I can't really blame him. He was told one thing, then effectivley laughed at - and not even behind his back, but in public for all to see.
When you think of the hard work that he and the others put in around here, that's just not on. They all go out of their way to be more than fair with these things, and what happened shows nothing but contempt for their efforts.
What Shaneo did in the past was wrong, illegal and everyone else who lost out deserves to be angry. I feel he should be allowed to come back but if he breaks the rules again then be no longer allowed to win GAD (it should also be the same for anyone else who breaks the rules)
I'm saying, to myself, that I know for a fact that I've done and seen things that nobody else has or ever will.
This isn't boasting, this is in reply to a punk teenager that took it upon himself to start labelling me a "tool" when I had no issue with him.
However, being a grown up in the real world, I will not tolerate insults from little boys that mouth off behind a computer screen.
Everyone else is cool, I don't like Shaneo for cheating reviews and violating what I hold sacred in personal writing.
This is purely an annoying little poster that has got my back up by posturing and mouthing off.
T-Devil, before I waste any more thought or time on you, tell me your age.
