Who's tattletaling? I thought everyone knew you were banned.

Look, I'm mostly impartial to this, cos you did help me with some stuff, Echo, and you've never been that mean to me. But I am sharing wisdom, because I am older and wiser than you. :D

When I got banned, I was very angry at Forest, and spent a while thinking of her as a dictator, etc. But (from what I guess, I'm not an adminship expert) being an admin is tough, and you have to make tough decisions and stick with them, even if sometimes it goes wrong and you make a mistake. I'm not saying this was a mistake. Anyway, when I first got banned, all Forest did was kick me from the IRC a couple of times. This made me extremely mad, as I thought she was being an awful dictator, and I kept going back on and yelling at her a lot like you did, although I didn't swear. Anyway, all my yelling at her did was make me seem immature and stupid, not to mention rude and hurtful, so naturally she kept on kicking me. By the time I stopped going on, she had seen me come on several times with different nicknames to insult her. So when another user (no names) decided to come on with a different nickname, and then someone else decided to start impersonating the users there at the time, she assumed it was me. As it turned out, both those people were someone else, which we found out later. But what I did was kind of like crying wolf, in a sense. Only in reverse. If I hadn't come on before and yelled at her, but just accepted that she had kicked me, and maybe apologised to her through a query with someone else, she wouldn't have automatically assumed that the rude impersonator was me, and I wouldn't have been banned from the wiki for three days. So it was my fault I got banned, and I'm very upset about that, since it probably goes on my permanent wiki record etc (like having a crim record. No jobs for Zaffie. D:) and eventually Forest and I did sort it all out, and I came to realise that she actually did ban me for a good reason. And now she is my friend. :D

Echo, I'm sure you can work out the moral of this story. And I might be inclined to sympathise with you more if I hadn't been there yesterday when Wetty and Icy unbanned you. And when Forest came on while you were there, instead of apologising or admitting you were in the wrong and just really wanted to talk to your friends, you said 'Hello, ." And that implied that you were confident, completely in the right, and not at all apologetic. So... maybe if you change your attitude from that Forest will let you back on. Kay? Those are my words of wisdom. Heed them well. Like, seriously. :D
