as a relative outsider to this whole mess, i rarely post outside of the mine field after all, i think i have a unique perspective to share.
this is what i've observed, some of which i've posted before.
1. charles, ceejay, blackfoot, whatever: utterly pwned, in utter denial. no amount of explaining will open his eyes, no amount of talk will show him the way. he didn't show up in philly, he won't post a pic of him and his hummer with a "loktar's a dual" poster, he can't back a single thing up. pathetic, but we knew this already.
2. charles' "the new jack" manifesto is so egregiously misplaced it's pathetic, and we're all laughing at him. he's so incredibly unfit to take over for jack it's laughable, never mind the fact that there really isn't a position to take... it would be similar to me shouting that i'm the new bill clinton, so you all should call me "mr. president". it's pathetic, and charles' unwillingness to bend will make this an issue that won't go away until he does, so it's best to let it just lie.
3. conchaga did what he considered appropriate and relatively mild, but in essence it served his purposes. i could give two shits about "admin abuse", in the end this is TK and if that sort of thing bothers anyone, they have the perfect right to talk about it. i'm leaning toward being on conchaga's side, if only because he's fucking with absolute retards. if i were to get DCed for no reason, simply because an admin wanted to, i wouldn't really mind so much (and if i wake up tomorrow to find i've been DCed, well, that would be hilarious).
4. jack and charles will continue to play footsies with each other for as long as they care to - i totally get why jack is entertained by charles, and i understand charles' desire to make a name for himself by trying to bring down the once great "king of the gutters". we shouldn't get to worked up about it, though, it is what it is.
5. menty's thoughts in his one post pretty much mirrored my own, in so far as to say that if there really was an abuse of admin powers he'll get to the bottom of it in all good time. at least, that's what i gleaned from his post, we was cranky and blasted when he wrote it, so who's to say.
all in all, no one is ever going to crack charles' thick skull, much in the same way that luci will always be a prick for being a prick's sake. so what's our solution? we should do what we've always done, point and laugh. even if he never tires himself out, continuing to spout off the same bullshit, we shall prevail.
