A superb post, Zook. I value your perspective and appreciate you posting it here. Thank you for your contribution.

I too had a similar perspective to the one you have so eloquently painted for us. I would have been happy to remain with that perspective, in the warm comfort of rationalization and understanding, but events pushed me forward and forced me to examine things in a different light. My understanding changed.

I should make it clear that I have no hatred or vehemence towards Celine, Richard, the Nexus mods, or the Nexus members. They are people, just like the rest of us, doing the best they can with what they've got, just like the rest of us.

When I was younger, a car crossed the center yellow line and nearly hit head-on the motorcycle my wife and I were riding. I pulled over, shaken, and turned my head to see the same car run a red light as if it were not even there. I whipped around and chased the car, getting its plate number. Inside was an old, white-haired lady. Later that afternoon, I got the address and paid it a visit. An old, white-haired lady answered the door.

"Hi. I was on the motorcycle you nearly hit today."

"Oh, you need to speak to my mother." She turned and came back with her 94-year old white-haired mother!!

The mother proceeded to deny having crossed the center yellow line, said she did not almost hit a motorcycle, and swore she never ran the red light.

Now, I had nothing against this 94-year old human being, who was just doing the best she could with what she had, but it was clear to me that she shouldn't be driving, because she was going to hurt or kill someone sooner rather than later.

I subsequently recounted this story to the Department of Motor Vehicles, and a flag was set to have the 94-year old woman come in and take a driver's test.

I know that old, white-haired daughter loved her 94-year old mother, but that did not justify letting the mother drive a car and risk the lives of others.

My point here is that Celine is not qualified to be a moderator, and Richard is not qualified to be calling the shots at Nexus (including making his wife a moderator), and I can show why that is the case. I realize that flies in the face of many well-established friendships and loyalties, but that does not change the truth, nor does it change the remedy.

An even more blatant example that Celine should not be a moderator is this Nexus Group chat. One of these members would likely be a candidate to be banned for her un-moderate behavior, if her name wasn't Celine. Can you tell which voice she is?

Note: Most names have been changed (to animal names) to protect both the innocent and the guilty.
Chat occurred February 6, 2012.

[11:57:05 AM] Bull: i dont want your karma to affect my darma
[11:57:07 AM] Bull: lol
[11:57:23 AM] Chico: Yes. Why would that come up for Andy, or me when logging in as Andy, when the server is up and running?
[11:57:37 AM] Dog: you logged in using his info?
[11:57:50 AM] Chico: Yes. Read my post. He asked me to.
[11:57:59 AM] Cat: yeah thats what the thread says. he checked on andys account
[11:58:07 AM] Dog: Chico, you are way off base on this one
[11:58:12 AM] Bull: ya ya ya .. technicaly thats a banable offense..but thats the old team huh
[11:58:29 AM] Chico: I may be, but show me.
[11:58:43 AM] Bull: Chico will admit he is wrong..but trun it on others none the less to take the focus from him
[11:58:57 AM] Dog: Show me what you have Chico?
[11:59:03 AM] Dog: this has gone far enough
[11:59:04 AM] Bull: You really seem like a lonely man Chico.. im sorry for that..but i am serious .. i am not getting your stinck on me no more.
[11:59:15 AM] Bull: Chico... SHE DID

[11:59:33 AM] Bull: your like a baby we have to teach you every step
[11:59:36 AM] Cat: http://nexus.2012info.ca/usercp.php
[11:59:43 AM] Dog: there it is
[11:59:50 AM] Chico: Why would that come up on log-in?
[11:59:59 AM] Dog: I GET IT TOO AT TIMES
[12:00:12 PM] Chico: I've never seen it.
[12:00:14 PM] Dog: nobody here is out to get me
[12:00:17 PM] Cat: when i cant log in, or if i click on something i dont have access to from the map, it gets me there
[12:00:37 PM] Cat: its the redirect for a faulty link
[12:01:01 PM] Cat: maybe andy was trying to click something on that forum list he originally got to, and it didnt exist anymore
[12:01:22 PM] Cat: when you look at the directory, some things may not be there
[12:01:34 PM] Chico: I'm sure Andy knows how to log in.
[12:01:42 PM] Cat: and last night the screen shots show he was getting the directory instead of the forum
[12:02:01 PM] Cat: yes he knows how, but he was having issues last night, remember
[12:02:18 PM] Cat: the joke screen isnt something they send people to that they dont like
[12:02:30 PM] Chico: Why would I have the same issues testing his account?
[12:02:48 PM] Cat: now that i dont know and am curious about. can i see the screen shots as proof please?
[12:03:16 PM] Dog: hell if I know chico, like i said it happens to me too. I just retype the address and problem solvred. I dont go off thinking conspiracy
[12:03:30 PM] Bull: chico..
[12:03:33 PM] Chico: Andy took the screen shots. I didn't take any on my end. I just verified what Andy was seeing.
[12:03:35 PM] Bull: i explainmed it ..5 minutes ago
[12:03:38 PM] Bull: YOU DONT READ
[12:03:40 PM] Bull: do you
[12:03:46 PM] Dog: I have seen the same thing chico on my own screen
[12:03:53 PM] Bull: and mine
[12:03:59 PM] Bull: and anyones who hits that wall
[12:04:02 PM] Chico: Andy worked on it for a long time.
[12:04:10 PM] Bull: Rat CODED it in..cuz he thought it was funny..and it is ..kinda
[12:04:20 PM] Bull: worked on what?
[12:04:28 PM] Bull: wtf do i read his words if he isnt reading mine?
[12:04:30 PM] Dog: Chico you are my friend, I respect you. And I am telling you that you are way off base with this.
[12:04:33 PM] Chico: Andy worked on logging in a long time.
[12:04:52 PM] Bull: ya so did others
[12:05:00 PM] Bull: for fuck sake chico
[12:05:03 PM] Chico: I hear you, Dog, and I am listening.
[12:05:13 PM] Bull: no he isnt listening
[12:05:16 PM] Dog: when it happened to me I went right to Rat and he explained to me whst happened
[12:05:20 PM] Bull: h eis flatering you up like he does on the phone
[12:05:47 PM] Bull: everyone you have talked to chico says your all nice and cuddly on the phone but fucking way off base and antagonistic in your posts
[12:05:48 PM] Dog: no he hears me, if he says it he means it
[12:05:53 PM] Bull: what does that say?
[12:05:55 PM] Bull: agenda
[12:06:01 PM] Bull: right
[12:06:14 PM] Bull: including Dog..here.
[12:06:17 PM] Chico: If I can log using my account, and I can't log in using Andy's account, and neither can Andy, what does that mean?
[12:06:25 PM] Bull: umm servers
[12:06:33 PM] Bull: dont cover all with 1 server
[12:06:42 PM] Bull: in thailand they might go down
[12:06:44 PM] Dog: So you have never had an issue before loading any webpages and it come up as something different?
[12:06:46 PM] Cat: so andys account is on a different server?
[12:06:47 PM] Bull: but in new zeland its ok
[12:06:59 PM] Chico: No, I haven't, Dog.
[12:07:00 PM] Bull: Bull rolls eyes
[12:07:16 PM] Dog: never????? only nexus?
[12:07:49 PM] Bull: lol
[12:07:53 PM] Dog: Then I want your internet, because that shit happens a lot. I worked at an ISP and this sort of thing happens quite often
[12:07:56 PM] Bull: fucking childish games
[12:08:24 PM] Bull: you know why hes bitching? becuase its been switched to a joke one rather then the template that everyone sees
[12:08:39 PM] Chico: I've had viruses do that, yes. But that's not what was happening here. The symptoms were as described in the "Miserable Users" mod I linked to.
[12:09:05 PM] Dog: if you were redirected to an outside site say like the CIA? like what happened at Att1.....i might perk up on it
[12:09:20 PM] Dog: but this is not the case
[12:09:22 PM] Cat: lets just find out the reason for the prob, show the evidence, and be done with it. there are other explainations besides Bull and Rat are targeting one member.
[12:09:43 PM] Chico: No, this is a different mod from the Att1 mod. It does different things. Read the info at the link.
[12:10:10 PM] Chico: That would be good, Cat.
[12:11:05 PM] Dog: The world is burning and we are having to show evidence of a glitch
[12:11:08 PM] Cat: thats the same as what xenforo does
[12:11:21 PM] Cat: you set the redirect page, it could be set to any page on the internet
[12:11:37 PM] Dog: it could have been stuck in his history on his browser
[12:11:55 PM] Dog: that happens a lot to me as well, i just got done fighting with ATT about a similar issue
[12:12:08 PM] Cat: chico, if there are other explainations. isnt it unfair to have this thread up accusing without proof?
[12:12:31 PM] Dog: it redirects me to a bin file and says my internet service is down. I have spent 25 hours on the phone with ATT.......utter complete waste of time due to a glitch.
[12:14:47 PM] Chico: I included the evidence, Cat, in the post. But I see your point. Should we allow evidence proving me wrong to be posted there as well?
[12:14:52 PM] Dog: Would you like the forum re-coded to suit you and Andy?
[12:15:02 PM] Bull: Rat will post the evidence
[12:15:08 PM] Bull: all the server logs
[12:15:12 PM] Chico: No, Dog, of course not.
[12:15:28 PM] Dog: it was a glitch, you blew this way out of proportion
[12:17:12 PM] Chico: If that is so, I'm going to look like an idiot, but perhaps that is what is needed, giving the magnitude of the blunder, if I have indeed made one.
[12:17:38 PM] Dog: you have my friend, and you know I dont say anything unless I know it is fact
[12:18:00 PM] Cat: how will you save face chico? its not necessary to do this. why didnt you look for the evidence to the contrary yourself first?
[12:18:07 PM] Cat: youre just being unfair
[12:18:22 PM] Bull: he is being himself
[12:18:53 PM] Bull: Chico, it appears pulling the ripcord is not an option on this jump. <<<<<<<<,, from fred...best post in that thread
[12:19:41 PM] Chico: I think I should be cut down in public. I can take my medicine.
[12:19:48 PM] Dog: why????????
[12:19:53 PM] Dog: what is the point?
[12:20:02 PM] Dog: that is riciculous
[12:20:02 PM] Bird: [12:01 PM] Cat: <<< maybe andy was trying to click something on that forum list he originally got to, and it didnt exist anymore >>>
happened to me when one of the threads was moved to members only
[12:20:11 PM] Dog: All you had to do was ask someone
[12:20:34 PM] Bull: in public?
[12:20:47 PM] Bull: Bull: you gonna share with everyone all our secrets now?
--- [10:46:03 AM] Bull: or just the ones that serve you well?
--- [10:47:29 AM] Chico: All of them. <<<<<<<<<,,Can i post this in public?
[12:20:52 PM] Bull: im asking the friends here
[12:20:52 PM] Chico: Yes, Dog, that would have been best. I didn't, though, because I usually work alone.
[12:20:56 PM] Bull: i dont care what chico says
[12:21:06 PM] Bull: he has posted from here so he negates being able to say no
[12:21:09 PM] Chico: Yes, you can Bull.
[12:21:22 PM] Bull: f u i wasntr asking u
[12:21:36 PM] Bull: i dont need your permission
[12:22:08 PM] Dog: I am utterly speechless......this makes no sense whatsoever
[12:22:26 PM] Bull: Cat? Squirrel? Dog? u care if i post those words?
[12:22:39 PM] Chico: Dog, if I made a mistake, shouldn't I pay for it? I'm not into saving face.
[12:22:45 PM] Cat: i think chat needs to stay off the forum. its a different media and conversations are too easily taken out of context... so i say no to posting anything from chat because it can be misleading
[12:22:46 PM] Dog: This is a direct attack on Nexus, its the only way I can describe it.
[12:22:51 PM] Bull: pay for it?
[12:22:58 PM] Bull: hes inticing us to give him shit
[12:23:02 PM] Dog: No you shouldnt pay for it my friend
[12:23:03 PM] Bull: dont give him what he wants
[12:23:17 PM] Dog: but christ turn it around and make it right to the best of your ability
[12:23:39 PM] Cat: chico, you will be cut down, but as a friend, why would any of us not try to stop you?
[12:24:17 PM] Bull: he has no clue how others feel Cat
[12:24:19 PM] Bull: give it up
[12:25:30 PM] Dog: remember something.......I will throw myself up in front of anyone to save them, unless they dont want me to.......are you telling me to get out of your way?
[12:25:44 PM] Chico: I know I will be cut down. It seems like justice to me. I should pay for the mistake, I feel.
[12:26:02 PM] Chico: No, Dog, what do you suggest.
[12:26:25 PM] Bull: oy chico
[12:26:29 PM] Bull: see its all about him
[12:26:30 PM] Dog: I suggest you rethink this, and consider the fact that this was a glitch on my word........
[12:26:35 PM] Bull: not the ppl he fucks over
[12:26:51 PM] Dog: hang on please
[12:27:08 PM] Dog: Chico, you know i wouldnt say it
[12:27:10 PM] Chico: OK, I trust you Dog, so I will.
[12:27:11 PM] Bull: hang onto what?
[12:27:14 PM] Dog: thank you
[12:27:14 PM] Bull: his word?
[12:27:22 PM] Bull: Bull laughs so hard she falls off the sofa
[12:27:43 PM] Chico: Dog, can you Skype me?
[12:27:48 PM] Dog: yes
[12:27:52 PM] Bull: Bull rolls eyes
[12:27:58 PM] Bull: let me woo you some more
[12:28:08 PM] Bull: let me convince you im an innocent man
[12:28:33 PM] Bull: before you think im worried about you talking to Dog...

[12:40:41 PM] Bull: i will never forgive you chico... thankfully i am not very emotionaly invested in you... but the distress you have brought to this room..the mod room..and the forum.. is unforgivable
[12:40:59 PM] Chico: I understand, Bull.

[12:41:23 PM] Bull: you are a selfish self centered bastar

[12:49:57 PM] Wolf: should I laugh?
[12:50:12 PM] Rat: not really, but feel free if it works for ya

Hey Chic,
If I understand this, I am assuming you called out the Mod team for tampering with Andy's board. You were wrong in your accusation and asked to be reprimanded?

The mod team probably knew nothing about it. Only Richard (and Celine) knew the truth. The probability is still high that I was correct in my accusation of a "Miserable User" mod being used against Andy.

Quote:

I was quickly convinced by Dog and Cat that I had made a mistake, as both claimed that they had experienced the same symptoms as Andy. So I issued an genuine apology, stating I had made an error (but I did not ask to be reprimanded). I felt awful for making such a blunder, but the next day I went back and reviewed all the evidence. I did some more digging, and I discovered the "Miserable User" module for Vbulletin has a known bug that causes others to experience the same nuisance screens that the intended target experiences! In other words, if the module is activated for just one person, others will also get the treatment by accident. That meant that the convincing arguments of Dog and Cat were no longer valid reasons for me being wrong, but reasons for me being right!

From what I recall, even after you asked to be forgiven of your transgressions, they did not...not really. The mere fact that I was also banned at that point suggests that someone was on a "power trip". Oh, what fools these mortals be. :roll:

Yes, that was quite funny. Celine said she would never forgive me. Richard said he would forgive me if I left the forum and never looked back. These are people that claim to be enlightened, mind you, that are making their forgiveness impossible or conditional.

"We'll forgive you if you shoot yourself in the head."

I can see how this forgiveness thing is not working out too well for them.

Well, let that be a "lesson" for us. We will all make a blunder, and if we can't truly forgive than it wasn't the "blunder" that was the problem.

Well the Mafia employs these tactics and they are very civilized too with it. Buy you dinner before you act.
I am assuming the MIserable User is a application you can put on people to fuck with them or send red flags when they are online?

Yes. As I posted on Nexus in the "Nexus, we have a problem" thread (since moved to "Members Only":

There is an optional mod for Vbulletin called “Miserable Users” designed to do exactly this. The symptoms described are exactly the symptoms andywight experienced. Andy took some screenshots of these symptoms and posted them in the Nexus Group chat. I have copies as well, which I can post.

Zooki,

is it not true that when Nexus2012 was first formed by Richard and Celine that most of the mods that followed from PA told Richard that they didn't want Celine to be a Mod! and that his response was to tell them that if you/they were not prepared to work with Celine that he would "Find a new mod team"?


Nope. Not true. Nexus was formed because Richard had a pre-existing personal website. The band that left in the exodus decided to stay together and see if we couldn't found our own forum. Since Richard already had a website, it was decided to build the forum there. Some didn't think it was wise for Celine to be a MOD ... after all, she was never a MOD at Avalon. Others felt that we ought to give Celine a try ... after all ... we were in the first days and at the foundation of Nexus, not on the twelfth floor some twelve months in. Over the year incompatibilities developed ... some of the staff voluntarily left the MOD chamber ... other MODs came in. What transpired between Celine and Chico was not unique. And the reasons for MOD turnover were sundry.

Richard even threatened to leave himself ... but with him being the main administrator (based on his technical knowledge), that may have ended Nexus right there. For other reasons as well, all of us coaxed him to stay put. We were all determined to keep Nexus free of the stuff that ruined the other forums. Not sure that we succeeded ... but we tried ... and are trying. There came a moment when Richard pushed ahead and threw the guantlet down about Nexus's charter and future. He asked all MODs at the time to join him ... or find other paths to good energy and/or truths. At that moment, I remember distinctly asking Richard if Nexus was his personal forum and whether the rest of us were his supporting staff ... to which he replied NO ... that Nexus was a forum for all members because it was built on donations and transparency. However, he also stated he would not stick with the negative energy that had descended on Nexus at the time. I said fair enough. Richard's word is good with me because I saw the drama play out at Avalon and knew that Richard - with scant few exceptions - took the high road and King Ryan the low one, e.g. when the two butted heads.. And I haven't been disappointed since. I also understand that Richard and Chico didn't share the experience of the Avalon exodus - as Richard and I had done - and that it was easier for trust to break down between the two because of that.

Eventually Chico came along and the rest is - as they say - history. His story versus her story ... and if ever you trap a man between his wife and his friend, nine times out of ten he will choose his wife if he is a man. No bad eggs here. Just incompatible eggs in the same basket.

How can Nexus2012 ever be described as a forum of "planer equals" when this happened at its inception?

Nothing happened at Nexus's inception, Andy, other than good honest energy on an untamed, unexplored spontaneous plane. Then human nature happened. Spontaneous combustion. :)
