| Greetings everyone,
I'm ComplexityBrit, sometimes known as CB, or LR (based on another username that I go by on different sites).
I'm a friend of Mr K, CNC, and Kana - whom I know from a place that shall not be named.
I'm not entirely sure what to say, other than that Kana sent me the link to this forum a year ago when I finally lost my patience with "someone" in the place that shall not be named.
Tonight, both Mr K and Kana sent me the links again, so here I am. |

| Hi CB;
Long time no see, well that site overt there had a melt down, and it makes me Mad and Sad, I put a lot of work into it, and now I have been tossed aside.
But none of that now...
Welcome to BSS, jump in and find something fun to do.
Mr. K |

Have a good visit! Just remember that you're entitled to (and expected to have) your own opinions here! |

| Welcome, CB. This site is filled with nice people. Disagreement is allowed here, but it's always friendly. |

| Thank you for the warm welcome Silvery; as Kana and Mr K can assure you, I do in-fact enjoy debating, just as long as disagreeing with you won't get me banned xD Mr K, lovely to see you again. I was shocked and appalled to hear what Giskard done to you... you've become yet another in a long line of collateral damage that has happened to residents of Giskardistan. Don't ask where the name came from, I came up with it sometime last year after I disagreed with him branding the US Homeland Security as members of the SA from Nazi Germany. Thank you Kana - I do hope that this community is infinitely more peaceful than helltown. |

| Peaceful is a fluid term, I don't mind if its busy, just as long as it's not loud, dramatic and with as much stress as a robot trying to defuse a bomb.
@Sue, I was banned around January of last year, and refused to apologise as he had gone totally over the top of the mountain.

| Hi CB and anybody else reading this; It looks like I am on a Rant, and I probably am, so just don't read the rest of this post if you don't want to hear all this crap about a Friend of mine. - Spoiler:
I worked your issue with G, and I tried to show him that you where not attacking him just disagreeing, but he did not believe me. You should have seen what I had to say to convince him that Nakia was a nice, but sometimes aggressive person, that is somebody that is a good person to have as a friend. I did that one so well that he not only let her back in, he made her a Moderator, well, until she disagreed with him a few days ago.
But I think he has run-off, or Banned all the Adult Members of his website, and now he will mostly have young people, and newbies as members, and he doesn't like to answer the same questions over and over, because he expects to have people with problems to read everything and figure out what he is talking about. Not easy to understand his explanations with out having a lot of background info already.
OK, let's try not go into the whys and how we had our Freedom of Expression shouted down, by someone that did a lot of screaming about how people where trying to stop his Freedom of Expression. That is what I got Banned for, I did not agree to just agree with him. And I talked to him like an adult talking to another adult that made a major mistake in their personal relationships with the other adults at TEG.
I did not call him names, or talk bad about the UK, or people that would agree with him, and he saw what I had to say as a personal attack on him, not me disagreeing with him in a conversation that should have not taken place in the 1st place. People do not become members of a Gamers and Modders site to talk Politics, and he started the Topic about the Newtown Massacre, and all he thinks is that we Americans are, as he said it, Fascists, Racists, and Bigots. I like just about every individual in the US, would be insulted to be called a Fascist, and most of us, would be insulted to be called the other too. The crazy thing is that I had stopped posting in that thread after it got too heated, and in the Moderator area that is just visible to moderators, he asked me to look at some post in that Topic and give my opinion. Well I gave my opinion like I always try to do, in a clear and as neutral a tone as I could, and I did not agree with him, so he PMed me to tell me I was breaking the rules of the site, and I was being a Troll. Well that is when I started trying to show him how he was wrong, and so after telling me I was trying to "take away his Freedom of Expression", he decided that he could silence me by Banning me. Well now I have been contacted by several people, that used to be active members of TEG, and asked about it, or complained about how he was acting. Well, I still have my Freedom to complain about the people that have some kind of control over what I choose to say.
Anyway, it is nice to see a friendly face. Mr. K |

| Welcome, CB. Just relax, look around and make yourself to home. You are free to have your own opinions. This is a French board but it is an International site. Rules are common sense rules. Treat others with respect and you will be treated with respect type rules.
Some of us are hurting right now but let us try and put that behind us. Hate is a poison, a cancer that destroys the one who hates. I do not hate anyone, I am not angry at anyone only sad.
Oh, some of you may notice that we have no friends list that is because we are all friends here. Carabas, Silvery, Skorp, Triactus and I all come from another site. I guess I am sort of the bridge between the different sites.
I don't know what else to say except that this is a new site and let us try not to bring old grudges and hurts here.

| Thanks Nakia;
As always you are the Voice of Reason. I feel better now, ranting helps me organize my feelings and thoughts. Your understanding is a breath of fresh... Hold on, why is my glass of Butter Milk starting to look blue?
Nakia! What did you do to MEEEeeeee....what, ifeelphunny? Splat, slomffpomp.... ZZzz...ZZzz... |

| Mr. K, no one can throw a rant like I can and have. Rant a way. We have a spoiler tag people can use. Let's get it out of our systems and move on. If a snake bites you the best thing to do is bleed the wound. Do that and then remain very still and quiet for a while. Sakura wants to know who is bringing the tuna. |

| Very wise words from Nakia. Any friend of Kana's is more than welcome here so make yourself at home ComplexityBrit. - Quote :

We try to keep a friendly place here so we try not to get into sensitive topics like politics or religion. If you feel the need to rant you can make use of our new blog subforum and if you really want to get into some sensitive subjects you can take advantage of the spoiler tags. Real life is harsh enough as it is and we created this place to have a safe haven where we can relax and unwind with online friends and certainly not get all riled up because of diverging opinions. That being said I can assure you that disagreeing won't get you banned. As far as I can see the only things that will get someone banned from the saloon is discussing piracy, pornography, commercial use of our forum, racism and unwarranted hostility. If you feel there is a problem you can contact one of the Janitors and ask for our mediation as it's better to take a step back and ask for someone who is not involved when things get out of hand. Last but not least we are all equals here. Janitors are here to help members and keep the forum tidy and that's what we do. |

| Thanks for explaining what happened to you CB. I didn't join until July 2012, and am sad at what has happened, but am pleased to have been invited to a new internet community where I can exercise my writing and, in time VA muse.
This is a time of transition for quite a few of us.
