The Burninate - Our View

Disclaimer:
The story above is a metaphorical tale of The Burninate, a group of posters who decided to post under one forum account on RWL because they all felt the same way - for a while, at least. The members were Beatles, Veranor, Holby, and Nevadacow. Wolfo Ono is a male character in this story, currently Wolf Bite on RWL. Everything written in this comical and metaphorical style is actually true, and it is just a limited story. If you knew the full story...! However, what is written here shows enough the glamour and camaraderie, the friendship that the members shared. If you look at every occurrence written in the story, you will find that it corresponds exactly to something that happened at RWL, trying to be as precise as possible within the story. There is no shifting of blame or responsibility, or falsification of facts. A few details are omitted for brevity, and the chronology has been slightly tweaked to better the tale. This document, this is Our View of all that's happened when we were together. There is no intention to bring up old issues or to insult; this is a record of what happened, in a more readable style. We hope you will like this, perhaps you will find out new things and new truths, and also laugh on the way.

Nostalgia.
Not so much the scandal, but the air of mystery before it all got messed up.

Er.. seeing the RWL post, you should probaby also put the link here. You've got a link to a page there, and here, it's only plain text.

Interesting... Where would the current period fit into the story? Sometime after 1982, I'd guess, but I'm not sure...

They locked it on RWL?!

Pardon my french, but what the heck? I swear, I know she doesn't need to give us a reason but it's just that kind of crap that annoys me. She can do it because she's an admin and she need not provide any explanation for anything, but it's just crap. In one day it will be gone. And it's all cause Wolf can't just chill. Ok the disclaimer was a bit wrong. Fine fine, and you guys said you'd do it over PM... so she locks it? She thinks that was the only darn purpose of the thread?

Well, we've always known RWL admins are short-sighted immature brainless buffoons, but especially Shael. As I was saying, this kind of thing is lost on her.

There's a side of humour, as that's what this is, but do remember, the original; events were quite serious.

I don't agree with the locking of the thread, but I assure you that bashing Shael won't do anything to further your cause. She was just trying to maintain peace, and had such an event occured here, I'm sure that we would not be beyond considering such methods.

I'm biased towards Shael. So sue me.

For some time I haven't been the one regulating the filters - I assure you I take a more liberal stance.

Hrmph. Beatles, you're a nice guy otherwise, but when you start on your spat against RWL, you start acting extremely childish and rude. I wish you could just let it go, make the FaF game and stop comparing it against RWL.

You don't have to keep proving to yourself and others that you're better in some way than all the RWL mods/admins. It's not worth the effort. Trust me about this, I know from experience.

IMO, this place has a small member base in part because you bash the RWL guys so much.

Please take 5 minutes to respond after you read this message to think about it. In my case, when I read something that's totally contrary to my views I (sometimes) get online and type furiously for 2 minutes, and zip out an angry, unreasonable response that ends up making me look like an idiot. I don't know if this ever happens to you, but I'd just like to let you know all the same.
