Here Harkius chooses to bring back an issue that had already been settled behind closed doors and on the site chat since yesterday.Here's what I am forced to conclude.
Even none of you can be so bone-crushingly stupid as to actually believe that I was secretly racist, but then accidentally revealed it in a PM to Scumbag in this fashion. Given that, the immediate follow-up conclusion is that you're a bunch of assholes.
But I guess that really isn't much of a surprise at this point.
In answer to someone's additional stupidity in the mChat, no, this wasn't a test. It was a failure on my part to communicate. And Scumbag, being the solid guy that he is, decided not to politely point out that Mogadishu Jones might take offense at the words that I chose. Instead, he chose to send them to someone he knew had an issue with me. So, that's especially classy of you, Scumbag.
Particularly since I can't possibly think that you would be so dumb as to believe that I am secretly racist, but chose that way to express myself because, "lol...I just couldn't help it."
So, congrats assholes. You successfully trolled me.

Here Harkius chooses to bring back the issue in the most active drama thread of the site, instead of taking it by PM, IM, email or something less visible.
Here Harkius showcases his sincerity and commitment to #nomoreforumdramaz by avoiding forcibly throwing gasoline in a dying fire.
Well played boy.
Harkius: Don't use PMs.FTR, I disagreed with kpaca expressing his dislike for your persona so vehemently, and I considered you had some leg to stand. We discussed the issue for a while and I think that even kpaca was convinced of the arguments we put forward in that despite our personal likes/dislikes one should always strive to attack ideas and not persons, and that what took place with you was the later, and that would be avoided in the future. So the issue had been settled already, and I don't think you will be attacked like you were in the future.
Your PM was nonetheless in very poor taste, even if stripped of its racist connotations, because it assumed that kpaca was somehow someone I kept on a leash, like if people around here are nothing but my minions instead of my
equals (As they are).
I am also assuming that calling him boy was possibly an honest mistake, because the avatars that kpaca has sported all over the years, as well as the poetry he regularly wrote have made a very effective job at concealing his ethnic heritage. Who knows, you might be African American yourself and this is just a huge misunderstanding.
In any case I've told you before, stop using our PM system, because as for every internet forum it is not 100% secure, and because I will repost the PM's you send me in the threads where we discuss the issues at hand.
Forum Protip: You should assume someone's race can be guessed at by using their avatar (which you generally don't even look at) and the fact that they write poetry (that you don't generally read).I am also assuming that calling him boy was possibly an honest mistake, because the avatars that kpaca has sported all over the years, as well as the poetry he regularly wrote have made a very effective job at concealing his ethnic heritage.

Use the PM system if you are sincerely committed into participating in the site without stirring shit at every cornerLOL. Wat?
Nope. Not a test. If you look up in this thread, you'll see exactly what this was:Let me guess Harkius, we failed the test again no?
Uh...since my PM's aren'tUse the PM system if you are sincerely committed into participating in the site without stirring shit at every cornerLOL. Wat?

Don't use the PM if you are trying to test us by publicly announcing that you are sending a PM to Pendulum in the chat, then sending me a PM complaining to me that my boy Jones has been reading your PM's*.

*Indeed, as with every online medium, private communications may be decoded, given enough clearance.
It was actually Harkius telling Pendulum, "hey sent you a PM right now" and then a few lines down Pendulum replying "yup, just got it, reading as we speak" or something.I actually think it was Pendulum who announced a PM to Harkius, but regardless, the point stands that discretion is in order if the "no forum drama" shtick is supposed to work.
That's actually funny. And it's funny because it wasn't actually a PM on this site. Hence the note that I sent him a PM. (Well, it's also funny because it's funny. But it's funnier because it's funny on several levels.)It was actually Harkius telling Pendulum, "hey sent you a PM right now" and then a few lines down Pendulum replying "yup, just got it, reading as we speak" or something.I actually think it was Pendulum who announced a PM to Harkius, but regardless, the point stands that discretion is in order if the "no forum drama" shtick is supposed to work.
It was a fascinating account on how internet medium communications work, and a total relief for me because I never had received confirmation that our PM system did actually worked, but there it
was, realtime confirmation that things were going smoothly. I was proud of this site.
lolwut? I can't quote a PM I receive in a relevant discussion?Uh...since my PM's aren't going to be private anyway, why bother using the system? And if I am going to use them and they aren't private anyway, why bother not announcing it?Use the PM system if you are sincerely committed into participating in the site without stirring shit at every cornerLOL.

Which part is it that seems obvious?
You shouldn't invest the time. We both announced that we PM'd each other. Neither PM was on MtG Community.I will not be made a fool of, indeed I will find an instance where Harkius was told by Pendulum the same thing.

what I am telling you is that you are acting all paranoid about PM privacy, the correct course of action is not to use the PM system instead of announcing to the whole site you are sending PM's to other people "as we speak"
Well unless you would be trolling and trying to stirr up drama, but you would never do such a thing now would you?
