How about instead of being a fucktard like the people Sythe's ranting about right now, you have a little sympathy.

I agree with some of what you've said, however bottling your emotions and being afraid of the natural expression of your principles is not freedom.I disagree with your second bullet. People do attack you because you are the owner but that isn't the only reason. As I said during the SytheMMO period, trolls like getting reactions. The hatred that you describe is something that these trolls love. They have learned that you will have this reaction and they get great amounts of joy from causing it. The more that you react the more that the trolls will continue to prey upon you.
There is obviously a time and place to react to accusations of immorality. During my senior year of high school a teacher accused me of lying about something completely insignificant. I could have let it go without having any reaction but felt that I would be abandoning my principles if I did. So I quickly stood up, gathered my things, told the teacher that I would not be falsely accused of lying and walked out, ignoring his protests.
However during online activities (and other activities) there is not a reason to do the same. The teacher was a figure out power over me and I felt wronged by "the man" and I felt I needed to resolve that issue. The internet is different. I do not care if someone thinks I'm a liar. I know I am not. If a person is too stupid to know that I am not they are not worthy of my time. I ignore them.
I strive to be happy within my life. In order to achieve this I have taught myself to not care about things that are not important. I do not consider stupid people important to my life and therefore I have given up on most interactions with them. If they refuse to accept that what I am saying is obviously true it is their own fault. I will not live my life with unhappiness in order to impart something which they refuse to accept on them. I do not let others control my life. I do not let them have influence over it. My emotions are mine alone and I strive to reduce them as much as possible except when I decide to allow them to arise.
So do what I do and teach yourself to not give a fuck about the stupid people. They aren't worth your time anyways. You have better things to be doing besides dealing with morons.
I'd like to note that everything I said above has one exception, my girlfriend. Well, not all of it. Some of it.
for being a griefer
- Second, I am only being attacked because I am the owner. If I were just another random user, no one would care to attack me. This is fundamentally unjust. It means you are attacking the most competent and virtuous FOR BEING the most competent and virtuous.
Now let's get on to specific accusations people like to make:
- You invented the SytheMMO just to get donations. -- http://www.sythe.org/something-all/941584-sythe-org-mmorpg-accusations-post7373234.html Failed crowd-sourcing project. Anyone who accuses me of this from now on I will simply ban.
- You make tons of money off this site and don't share it with anyone. -- http://www.sythe.org/12001914-post16.html The site doesn't even make enough to pay someone to do my job. Fuck off.
- Secretly all the staff are corrupt and scam. -- They aren't and don't. We have never had systemic corruption at sythe.org. We are probably the only site on the internet that hasn't. So: Fuck off.
Final thing:
Being attacked for banning someone who is attacking me: I do not fucking deserve this. If people want to stay on the site then they should learn to be nice to (and not breed contempt of) the staff. This is not fucking rocket science. Really, it isn't. If you want to hate on staff, go set up your own site and do it there.
I agree with some of what you've said, however bottling your emotions and being afraid of the natural expression of your principles is not freedom.
And, unfortunately, I have to interact on some level with these people in order to run this site. The site needs its reputation to function. It's reputation is linked to my reputation. Therefore I need to defend my own reputation. And thus you see the issue.
But the worst part is not what they think. I don't care what Spyike and similar think. The worst part by far is how the rumours spread among the average userbase and poison their opinions. And that they don't think to give the benefit of the doubt. I am constantly fighting to keep a clean name with the average user, when it should be the opposite way around. The griefers should have to fight to soil it. Why do you think this is?

What actually started this? I haven't exactly read about any Sythe.org scam conspiracy rumours or whatever round here lately. I haven't even seen anything (serious) on Spyike's site either. You may just be misinterpreting all this on a far worse scale than it actually is. The Internet is full of idiots, retards, time wasters, trolls, everything. Just tell them to fuck off.
Do this in real life right now:
Smile!
Probably just people getting mad that they got scammed and then claim that Sythe is corrupt blah blah blah.

Fendle scammed me for my hamburger. He told me I would get $0.66 for it. Never paid.
I've had a bad day. I don't have them very often, but since we're here, I'd like to share a few thoughts:
I'd like to let you all know that if I go/quit/disappear, I won't be selling or transferring this site. I will raze it to the ground, destroy it. I've always felt an acute sense of justice, and I feel now, more than ever, that it would be an injustice to reward the haters, griefers and accusers which compose some small but material percentage of my stress levels with any semblance of a working site. In my head I have a list of about 15 commands to run which would completely destroy beyond recovery the entire site.
What people don't know about me, or perhaps refuse to believe, is that I follow a code of rational ethics based on Objectivism. And I don't just pretend to follow it; I actually follow it. I have a very great deal of trouble even contemplating not following it. These ethics underpin everything my actions and statements in every aspect of my life, and have for many years.
When I am accused of dishonesty, scamming, or whatever other crap people front up with here, for no reason other than that I am the owner of sythe.org, it triggers such an intense hatred in me I cannot describe it. The hatred is four fold:
- First, of all the people on this site I am the only one to profess a rational ethical code and actually follow it; I am easily the most innocent of wrong doing of anyone here.
- Second, I am only being attacked because I am the owner. If I were just another random user, no one would care to attack me. This is fundamentally unjust. It means you are attacking the most competent and virtuous FOR BEING the most competent and virtuous.
- Third, the attackers use and promote their altruist ethics -- which actually are EVIL and based on nothing -- to attempt to destroy the virtue of my actions which actually are based on real ethics and are actually GOOD.
- Fourth, almost every accusation presented -- ever -- I have already addressed somewhere in some thread and had to present -- unjustly -- evidence of my innocence. You people will not even grant me the basic human right or principle of logic (pick one) of presumption of innocence.
Now let's get on to specific accusations people like to make:

If people don't like that, they can suck my left testicle and then leave.
If you're serious about this, people will actually leave.
lol he's done perm bans in the past and they've accomplished nothing. They just make new accounts
yeah but that teaches them a lesson
