Knighty is a fucking asshole! · 11:04pm Dec 14th, 2013
Knighty deleted my wonderful new story, "December 14, 2012". Based solely on NOTHING. Because of his incompetence in setting rules for the site, he decided it would be a good idea to create a fail safe rule where even if I follow the rules he lays out for me regarding stories, the story can still be deleted if he doesn't like it.
I'm sure many of you have already heard this story before, or you think Knighty is a dick as well, but it actually happened to me, so I feel a little more passionate about it.
Have no fear; the story is gone, and I can't repost it, but he can't stop me from parodying other things. There are thousands of events like this in history, so I'll always have fresh meat to work with.
Knighty is a dick head, fucking English tea-sucking, prick, and this blog is meant to vent. If you wish to vent some hatred against our wonderful dictator, you can post here, or there might be a group for hating on that incompetent fuckwad.
What was the rule, "Don't be a dick"?
1607113 Well, that rule doesn't seem very clear. The line is fuzzy, what some people may call dickish, is normal to others.
1607118 Saying someone is a "dick" is like calling someone "beautiful" in the sense that it's the person's definition of what an example of the word is.
For example, "desirable" can be someone with a large ass. I don't find that "desirable".
1607135 Exactly! Well, I don't find making fun of tragedies involving deaths of humans to be dickish. I find it funny; some people do.
Who is Knighty to decide that?
1607141 At least ask for other staff members's opinions.
Or ask for him to define the definition of "Don't be a dick".
1607149 I would have if he actually ever answers my messages, which he never does.
I appealed for an unban when Alextrasza banned me when I trolled him, and he didn't even reply. Like I said, Knighty himself is a dick, and it's bullshit he took down my story, I mean troll fiction.
1607155 Maybe go to Wanderer D? I've heard that he's pretty cool.
I've seen him break down the reason for his banning somebody; it was actually reasonable.
1607167 Wanderer D may be nice to some people, but I argued with him once, so I don't know if he'd listen to me or not.
1607291 Maybe I'll ask him.
Or maybe ShadowFlash. I really like Shadow; really awesome guy, IMO.
1607344 I sent Wanderer a message anyway, and I just sent Knighty one as well, a couple moments ago.
I decided I'm not going to lay down and give up on this one. If he doesn't give me a good reason for taking down my story, I'll troll him until the day I die, he dies, or the website goes down, whichever comes first. Because like he said in the message he sent me:
1607350 Explanations are everything.
No explanation; no rational reason. Not everything is self-evident.
1607358 He answered and said that because the website is privately owned, I have no right to freedom of speech, maybe in England, but in America, whether it's privately owned or not, freedom of speech is still allowed.
Oh well, I'll just troll him hard. REALLY HARD.
1607361 Well, tell him to tell that to all the American users on his site. I'm sure they'll all appreciate knowing that they can be silenced on any issue knighty deems unworthy.
1607372 Hell yeah! If I can raise an army of angry users, that might be enough to have him return my story! I'll go to all the groups I can and tell them what happened.

1607376 Don't post too quickly.
knighty will see that as spamming and ban you. Like me and my *ahem* "spammy crap".
If anyone who randomly stumbles across this doesn't know, I respect knighty for making this site and making it usable, but I don't exactly enjoy his way of running things. I'm one for explanations; I am a college student seeking great grades, after all.
We don't just say, "That's how a mitochondrion works because that's just how it is." We go through glycolosis, Kreb's, the Electron Transport System, and all that jazz.
1607386 I posted a blog entry, but I decided to hold back on alerting the WHOLE community, which I probably won't be able to do, anyway.
This will just let my 27 followers know, and they in turn can spread the news or not. I posted the message he sent me as a quote, so people will know what he thinks about freedom of speech.
I explained why he can't do that in America, even if the site is British, it's a public place full of Americans who don't like people treading on the constitution.
1607386 Uh oh, now Knighty is feeling like a dickhead. He's saying I don't have a right to troll people using insults or profanity! He said if I do, he'll ban me.
Really?! Who doesn't use insults or profanity when they're trolling?! That's virtually unheard of!
1607426 I've done so when I feel depressed and making myself feel as though others are below me.
One can just get under their skin by talking about things they like or enjoy and state your feelings on them. Though mine were genuine and the issue I brought up was resolved on their end, I still caused grief for them.
If a mod reads this, they'll totally call me an ass.
1607435 I've tried trolling like that, but I usually troll random people, so it's hard to know what their beliefs are.
In the end, it's just easier to insult them directly, and possible make fun of something commonly considered taboo to insult.

Steps:
1. Meet person
2. Talk to person
3. Ask questions related to preferences
4. Remember to not use "crap", "shit", "fuck", or any derogatory name
5. State your negative opinions on the person's preferences
6. If they react in your favor, continue your one-sided gentlemanly discussion until they ragequit or you decide they've had enough to warrant grief only on their end (AKA: no bans for ye)
7. If they react as a reasonable person would (accept your beliefs), then say "good day" to them and to whatever you want. I prefer just going off and playing games/snacking on food as I consider my slightly miserable life temporarily out of college.
(Boy, would I love a ban from this!)
(Y'know, freedom of speech and gentlemanly trolling and all that.)
1607480 Hmm, your method seems well thought out.
I'll try it next time I feel the need to troll.
1607485 It only requires that you act nice as they only beat themselves down.
A small part of me likes being manipulative and forcing others to unknowingly lower themselves before me.
Small part. Not the majority of me; I'm too generally nice to become a full-fledged troll.
1607495 I'd say a bigger chunk of me likes to troll. Probably 75%, but only because I have a small group of friends and acquaintances; everyone else will feel my wrath if they invoke it.
1607504 Makes sense to me.
