It is an inside joke because she's a perfect little nun. That's what pisses me off, she thinks she's better than everyone, at least that's how I perceive it.
It's not an inside joke and I sent you the following PM on march 10th which you never responded:

Hey Burke, I mean this in the best way possible because you're a cool guy and have a nice personality, but given recent events and you being a mod and all I don't like when people call me derogatory names like "dumb bitch", "slut", etc. If you think I'm one that's your deal but please stop calling me that because I don't think its cool. Thank you

I just wanna set the record straight about this for once and all without getting caught up in nonsense drama. I have no problem with you, Burke, in fact I think you're a nice person whenever you want to and to the people you want to. I know it might be fun to you to call people names but the constant name calling really started to annoy me and that's why I privately decided to ask you to stop. You never answered so about 20 days later (on wednesday) I asked some of the members of the mod team to talk to you. It is not my intention or my wishes that you stop being a mod, to be honest I couldn't care less if you're one or not. I hope we can clear the air between us and you stop calling me names. Thank you.

I say this to everyone:

Boo-fucking-hoo.

Learn how to take a joke or learn how to not care what people you consider dickheads think or learn how to use the ignore function.

Or maybe I should insist Alen be banned for his questioning of my sexual preferences?
Being called a "dumb whore" or a "slut" everytime I say something isn't a joke.

Red, You are right but Andries got banned because people couldn't take his jokes while everyone MUST know how to take Burke's. I actually don't want Burke to justify his behavior towards Fabiana (and many other members). I just want to know what is the difference between Burke' jokes and the others'.
Rab, I never remember Alen calling Sabet a whore. It's easy to understand when someone is joking. Sabet was replying him back with the same jokes, there were all laughs. Now Burke keeps calling Fabiana names and she even prefers not to make it public because she doesn't want to make herself a target for the next name-callings in future. I've been here for years as I told you earlier and I have never seen a guy using such a foul language towards a girl. And you know what, I cannot believe you are defending that.
I didn't want to make it public because I hate this drama, it's unnecesary and I would always rather to resolve issues between two people and behind closed doors than make it public for everyone to participate.

You are right about the foul language being used towards a girl.
Fact is here that we have to accept that Burke is joking all the time. I actually see Burke very seldom on the forums because I'm not posting on the threads he normally posts but whenever I see his posts I wonder if he's got a warn because of that or not.
It's cool that someone is joking all the time but people should have self control and know when to stop (this isn't directed at Burke, it's general).

I questionned him calling you that Fabi (not cool even this risque jokes inviroment, out of the blue)), and was suprised you were "ok" with it (due to your lack of reaction and silence) and assumed it was some weird inside joke despite not seeing the jest side of it.

But to read the above, that you said you werent ok with it to him privately and for him to stop 20 days before (this is were it stopped being "harmless joke"), and he still continued? Thats were it became more then just a joke, to say the least, for him to ignore it and continue to insult you in that way, is clearly disrespectful. And if he continued it, not only as a mod, but as a poster, you were totally in the right to report it.

Seriously, what a dick move Burke. If someone behaves like that, they should be warned, and if its a mod, he shouldnt have it "suggested" to him to step down, but demoted. Simple as that.



P.S I defended Burke in bizzarely being compared to Seven, by saying what he says is in jest, for fun and does not really intend to insult (mostly), and that the comparison is hardly valid. But the above is simply nothing but a basic case of clearly and directly insulting someone else repeteadly (and as a mod to boot).

No offence Osman but what do you think you will gain from writing such a post, to cause further bad feelings? Fabi herself made her feelings clear and it's up to her to talk to Burke nobody else. The situation is between her and Burke nobody else I think everyone needs to check themselves before they wreck themselves.

I wanted to keep it between him and me but when he didn't stop I had to tell the other mods to do something about it. And I think the issue now becomes public because he isn't a regular member, he's a moderator.
