You know. Normally, I don't come to QCDN's Flameboard because I really don't like reading about E-Drama when I'm trying to study. The only reason why I come here is because Tyrath or someone will send me messages in AIM, MSN, or in FFXI telling me to "go to (this) thread because things are about to get epic."
Hell, in all honesty, I never would've known Meeze did this and left Quetzalcoatl if Isomiau wasn't talking about it in Ventrilo during my Salvage run. That's how bad QCDN's flameboard is at times. It has such a STRONG influence on people who regularly visit it (the trolls know who they are), that it indirectly affects people who don't keep up regular attendance.
And then after checking this thread, this Meeze issue has spread like the plague to both BlueGartr and KillingIfrit? What, it's on Allakhazam too?
I mean, shit, lol. I wish I had that kind of power! That's some awesome Word-of-Mouth, Viral Marketing right there. There should be movie trailers for this thread like friggin' Cloverfield or something.
Honestly--I won't lie--I don't have any particular fond memories of Meeze. Especially from that one fateful Roaming Merit Party that Tagrineth started in Mamook where I had to run back and forth and Minuet x2 him, and keep Kabrina's (Who was on WHM) MP up... She wasn't using /heal for the first hour and a half of the party. Which then triggered one of Meeze's infamous "Michael Richards" style tirades... Stressful, indeed it was, but that's in the past--I don't want to make the thread derail any further.
That, and accompanied with the eyesores that were Meeze's condescending Bazaar Comments I saw every time I home pointed to Bastok Markets, I didn't see Meeze as the friendly huggy-bear Galkas I'm used to. You know--Plucking their banjos and dancing to sprightly Galkan jigs through a field of wildflowers in Konschtat Highlands while telling us tall tales of their heritage and the racial intolerance and persecution from the Antica and Humes.
While I don't consider Meeze to be a friend of mine, he DOES have my respect however. Sort of a mutual understanding that two enemies share--Like that episode of G.I. Joe where the Joes and the Cobras teamed up to stop Drug Dealers from selling crack to kids. Not sure what that has to do with FFXI, but bear with me, I'm having another random moment.
I don't get along with Meeze, but I sympathize with him in saying that he got a bad deal. I sure wouldn't like getting jacked for my shit. Or facing the injustice of a screwed up LS system (Lord knows there's a lot of them.)
"Do unto others". Meeze did what he needed to do, although he may have taken it a step further. I would've just stripped the character instead of deleting it.
He resolved the situation by his own hand. And it should be left alone after that, to be honest. Us getting involved isn't really going to do a whole bunch of good.
As for Meeze switching servers? Really, even though we don't get along, I would've loved to see him stay on Quetz.
You guys said so yourself. Meeze is an asshole, right? Well, imagine Quetzalcoatl's community as a functioning human body. We take in garbage and junk food from various sources and other people. We "digest" it, and filter out the junk out of our body, then we end up shitting it out.
If Meeze is the asshole, and Meeze is gone, how can we take a dump?
Besides, if there's anything that South Park has taught us, it's that Assholes aren't funny....................................................... They're frickin' HILARIOUS!!!
I miss that bastard, Meeze. He made me laugh.
