Have I?
It must have been back when I still thought you were a god here,around the same time when i finally joined after 3 months of non-member lurking,but once I was here that same respect for you crumbled.
It's nothing personel,and it's more the people who listen to you blindly who drove me back,because when you idolize everything a person says you loos your own ability to identify everything you see from true and false,due to always waiting for the person you idolize to tell you your right.
Like I said though,I've nothing personel against you,just against the ideal of "ATism" as it's called.
And I'm well aware of it not being your creation,and I don't blame you for it,due to the fact that it started due to you being right most of the time,but you've never made a point of telling anyone to not blindly follow you,which is where you are tied to the peroblematic ideal of "ATism"
..reminds me of Alkaid bashing... just because people turn to him because he's smart doesn't mean they worship him, this is the internet, I'm saying this nicely but theres a high chance that you will assume I'm attacking you(I'm not...), so theres also a high chance "AT-ists" are just being sarcastic about the 'religion'. So...if you hate AT for being involved in "ATism" then what would you think about Shinryu(The "Tales series god" on any tales forums)? People naturally turn to 2 qualities on a message board;
1. They know what they're talking about(Does AT, yeah)
2. They're A) kind or B) funny(Not A but B for AT)
3. They're a mod or admin(ATs a mod)
AT has those features and more. He's a great mod(A little odd but...) Its only natural that people come to him for info and then joke around about him being a god(The Mawd Gawd).
I back the the admins though, can't go wrong there!
(Cept on tales forums where I even call Shinryu Mr or Sir... What he's smart)
First,I use the word "worship" to say that people beleive AuraTwilight even when they think otherwise.
Second,I'm not an "AT-ist" becuase it' the ideal that I'm against,and in a different way from most others.
Third,I don't hate AT,not in the least.In fact,if "ATism" wasn't around,I expect that we would be fairly good friends,or at least where we were when i first joined the site,even though I was probably brushed off as just another member new to the site in those days.
and last,please refrain from grouping me into any sort of type of person unless you have good reason to,or I've confirmed it myself.
And no,I can tell when people are attacking others,and I don't take offense usually unless it's about..well...I won't bring it up.....but the point is that I don't care what people say about me as much as I can,which has proven to be alot.

the one time I said a comment to the effect of sounding like ATism(once) was when I said it during a debate between he and umbra, and, in all fairness, I said it there not with any believing it but to point out how absurd the whole ATism thing really is

It IS ubsurd,and immoral at best,but you can't just rush out to rip it down,as it IS a testiment to ideals of others banding together,and must be respected in that mannor.

well, my quote was not a direct bash, it was something like "umbra, I think even you can't stand up to AT" or something like that, but I said it with a satirical tone, funny thing is, that was shortly before all this blew up, wonder if I helped create a monster O_o

Believe me, most people are NOT being sarcastic about AT-ism. I've had people send me webcam pictures of little AT Crucifixes. It's CREEPY.
2. They're A) kind or B) funny(Not A but B for AT)
Hey, I'm kind, or I wouldn't tolerate a good number of people on this board. I'm just a douchebag to people who throw hissyfits like certain 12 year olds. (DarkChaos.)

sry, that nazi comment a while back was when I first started lurking the boards and that was my first impressions of you(I think it was in a topic about Vol. 3 pre release, not sure) then the pimp slapped god comment from the same topic(Not like you would remeber that topic with a post count that high under your belt)
Sry if I offended you AC, last thing I want to do on a message board is get an enemy(Other than the retarded bot VeghEster, come to the tales forums, you'll find out why) Also you seem to really try to help peace on these boards(Reminds me of Marlo's quest in .hack//Mutation, which one are you, Law or Order?)
Also extreme apologies to AT(Not worshipping, just sucking up so I can silently leave this tread without a mark on my account and peacefully watch as it soars away from the TC's original intent and explodes in the distance)

Oh man I've got to see some of this, it's like dothackers version of Haruhiism. <_<
Next thing you know the worshippers will cast AT figurines in gold and sacrifice sheep infront of it.

lol. Making a statue of AT would take away his sense of mystery. Once we see his face he'll lose status. Mystery = Admiration + Intrigue. He's an enigma.

The fact that he's an Administrator is only part of it,he is carismatic as well as intelligent,which is an uncommon combination,and a good one as well.

and a nice asshole! Don't forget that combination! ^^
Oh, and I'm not an Administrator, I'm just a Mod. Hence Mod God. If I was an Admin, I think I would've lost my temper and banned people like Twilight Rose unfairly, which is why I turned down that position and now use Kuukai as an intermediary for my banning requests, because he has the clarity and common sense I don't have when I'm angry with someone.
oh, and there's a picture of my face somewhere on the forum. I'm not that mysterious.

Well, atleast you're humble in that you'll admit to some of your faults.

I'm humble enough to admit ALL my faults.
I'm an asshole
I'm a douche
I miss the obvious
I have a short temper
I lie sometimes to get what I want
I don't care about other people's feelings
I'm selfish
I'm Egocentric
I'm prideful
I'm arrogant
I'm trigger-happy
I'm confrontive and aggressive
I'm downright mean sometimes.
Criticize me if you want, but I'm sure almost none of my other criticizers will admit their faults so readily...DARKCHAOS! AHEM AHEM!
Sorry, bit of phlem.

Technically you can just sayyou are an asshole and it would apply to everything on your list.
I'm just saying....

I guess so, but it makes it look like I'm being more honest and such.

lol, AT reminds me of me, wonder if AT is an aires, too(I fit my sign so frighteningly well

Not to mention you've been off-topic for nearly a page. :P The Perfect Guidebook confirms that
the AI is Zefie, so I'm closing this thing down. Split to Off-topic Chat if you really, really want to.

Also, let it be known that you never turned down an admin position, because it was never offered to you. :p

Really? I was pretty sure SOMEONE asked me. It might've been another .hack forum. It was back in like September, and God knows I can barely remember anything in February.
