Like ZServ, I too enjoy IRC.
Cataract | 2:22 PM on 12.02.2008 12 comments


For any of you who follow IRC, or atleast read a bit of the two cblogs that ZServ put up yesterday, I got to have a friendly heart to heart with the person who thought he could moderate IRC. I do these things because I love you all. Also, for any of you who were concerned by my username, be informed that it was simply Bear O' Clock, a very important time of day.

14:32 krullertime i am waiting for ZServ as we have PRIVATE business to discuss regarding the removal of logs from the internet

14:32 Beararact Oh, so you mean when you were acting like an asshole on here yesterday?

14:32 Beararact Thats not really private matters.

14:32 Beararact Mark, I'm going to be civil though.

14:32 Beararact Why should he?

14:33 Beararact He isn't breaking any laws by having them posted. You got yourself into a mess, and you know that.

14:33 krullertime What gives him any right to post my PRIVATE chats onto the internet - this is defamtion as it makes me look stupid

14:33 krullertime and it looks like they got one over on me

14:33 krullertime which is not the case

14:33 Beararact Private chats?

14:33 Beararact YOU IMPERSONATED A POLICE OFFICER

14:33 krullertime yes

14:33 Beararact Fuck.

14:33 krullertime this is a private network

14:34 Beararact And what are you going to do thats going to force him to remover them?

14:34 Beararact He has as much rights to post that conversation as you did./

14:34 krullertime hopefully that wont be necessary - im sure after a chat between us he will see the light

14:34 krullertime if he dose not

14:34 krullertime however

14:34 Beararact Also, if you're so concerned with defamtion, you shouldn't have acted the way you did.

14:35 Beararact Are you aware of that?

14:35 krullertime then I will look into whatever action I need to, whather this is legal action or otherwise

14:35 *** Beararact is now known as Cataract

14:35 krullertime that is not the issue

14:35 Cataract Legal action for posting a chat log?

14:35 Cataract What crime would that fal under?

14:36 krullertime http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation

14:36 krullertime it only shows 1 side of the story

14:36 Cataract Let me ask you something

14:36 Cataract A hypothetical scenario

14:36 krullertime what

14:37 Cataract A man goes around, in public, insulting others. He breaks their property. A newspaper
runs the story the day after.

14:37 Cataract Is it the newspapers fault for reporting what this man did?

14:37 Cataract Are they at fault for anything other than reporting what happened?

14:38 Cataract Also, trying to make a case against someone for demation while using Wikipedia as a
referene isn't a good idea

14:38 Cataract Just a tip

14:38 Cataract Also, you should read that first line of the wiki.

14:38 Cataract "In law, defamation (also called calumny, libel, slander, and vilification) is the
communication of a statement that makes a false claim"

14:38 Cataract What false claims did he make?

14:39 krullertime the entire chat log makes a false claim

14:39 krullertime by trying to present me

14:39 krullertime as someone i am not

14:39 Cataract But it is you who typed it, coirrect?

14:39 Cataract Then that is who you chose to portray yourself as.

14:40 krullertime it is selectivlly edited

14:40 Cataract But he did not add anything

14:40 Cataract What he posted was what was said

14:40 krullertime dosn't matter

14:40 Cataract Yes it does.

14:40 krullertime he was taking things out with the deilbrate intent of giving a false impression

14:40 Cataract Your argument in a nutshell is "he posted stuff I said on IRC in a blog. Thats illegal"

14:41 Cataract Regardles, you imposed that impression through the actions that were portayed
regardless

14:41 Cataract It's not like you came in and were acting civil and respectful

14:41 Cataract You came in and began acting like an ass for no reason

14:41 krullertime how would you feel if someone posted all of your private conversations on the internet
for everyone to download ?

14:41 Cataract He only showed everyone that you were acting like an ass

14:41 Cataract Go for it.

14:41 Cataract Post this one

14:42 krullertime how about if it was your phone conversations ?

14:42 Cataract Patriot Act?

14:42 Cataract lol wut

14:42 Cataract Thats also different

14:42 krullertime I did not like an ass - I came in to bring some order and respect into the room

14:42 Cataract You're in a public domain right now.

14:42 Cataract No, you did.

14:42 krullertime no it isnt differnt

14:42 krullertime this is a private network

14:42 Cataract Can anyone with internet access get to an IRC channel?

14:43 Cataract Then it's public.

14:43 krullertime if someone recorded you at a PRIVATE meeting and distrubuted it to everyone i dont think
many people would like that either

14:43 Cataract If I was acting like a complete ass at a private meeting then yes

14:43 Cataract You came in, acted like an ass, then begged and pleaded in a PM

14:43 Cataract Honestly, just drop the whole thing and don't make it any bigger than it already is

14:44 krullertime anyone can access IRC yes but this is privatley owned network and the admins can
terminate people if they wiseh

14:44 Cataract "anyone can access IRC"

14:44 Cataract There you go

14:44 krullertime Once the logs are removed, I will never return to this place

14:44 Cataract Just leave now and people will forget

14:44 Cataract If you stick around and make this bigger, you only attract more attention to yourself

14:45 Cataract Mark, I'm giving you a chance to just admit that you acted childish and to leave with some
form of your dignity intact.

14:45 krullertime I did not.

14:45 Cataract Explain why you didn't.

14:45 krullertime Everything I have done has been in the intrest of the chat

14:45 Cataract No it wasn't.

14:45 krullertime I came in to put an end to profanity and abuse

14:46 Cataract You know no person who frequents this chat, and came here for the sole purpose of
disrupting other peoples enjoyment.

14:46 Cataract Also, there's nothing in the dynastynet ToS about profanity or abuse

14:46 Cataract So you had no grounds to act as if you were a moderator

14:48 krullertime So you think its OK for profanity and abuse to be displayed across chat for all and
sundry to see?

14:48 Cataract Yes.

14:48 Cataract It's a risk that happens when someone goes on the internet.

14:48 krullertime well it shouldnt be

Part 2 to follow, because this shits long.
