I know better than to try to change minds, but I do want to correct a handful of things.

note : I'm not defending geoff, I'm just stating the obvious. I usually don't visit the site and most of the time the ad posts just rubs me the wrong way.
There is this interesting idea out there that I am seeking to "boost my traffic" for some reason. I don't make money off of DDOgamer. It has no ads. It's just a fansite that I run because I can. I like to promote the game, I like it when people read the blog, and I make an effort to let people know about it, but again, it doesn't make me money. It costs me money.
And it is probably not money well spent.

No, I blocked you for spamming the site with the same 1200 words over and over and over even after I asked you to stop. Nicely. Several times.

Yeah but you are changing other people's actual words right Getoff? ya little bitch.
No, that did not happen. I removed some of his words, and clearly annotated where I did that, and included a (clearly annotated) summary of what I thought he was trying to say.
However, I probably am a little bitch.

Sure it's your site, but if you want people to take you seriously you'll tell and show the true story and not an edited version because you didn't like it.
No one is going to take me seriously no matter what I do. Nor should they. But again, his post was not "changed". It was "moderated", as fairly as I could (which you may disagree), and completely transparently (which you cannot disagree).
Nor did I do anything to the many angry posts Hammer added to the article, except to remove the 1200+ word original comment, which he spanned half a dozen additional times.

Hammertop's request to pull the comment entirely if a middle ground cannot be reached is perfectly reasonable. I respect Geoff's right to pull it if he finds it unacceptable, but not to edit it in a way that distorts the original intent.
See above regarding intent. And I didn't really get a request to pull the comment, I received arrogant orders to include all of the original content including the personal attacks that I had removed.
But the rest of your point may have some validity, maybe? I think I am in the right here, but I don't believe I am unassailably so, rather instead, I am quite fallible. Perhaps this is yet another instance.
Would today be different if Hammer had said something like "Hey Geoff, I don't think you got the meaning of my comment right, can we hold off on your post?" Maybe.
But I dunno, I'd already done the whole graphic and everything, and besides we all agree that I am just a little bitch. And an asshat.
You guys really do need to add some ranks to your Insult skill. I miss Gawna.

Wow, GAME BAN? How in the world can that be justified?
I don't know what to say about this. Whatever else you can say about the guy, he clearly has a passion for the game. Nothing he said on my site should have anything to do with anything in-game.
Maybe there is more to the story?
