If anyone has been playing jj2 lately, they have no doubt noticed a recent outbreak of clans, or similar groups of people bent on destroying DM members, JCF admins, and their supporters. They claim our "corrupt tyrany" is a good reason to crash servers we are in and make themselves general nusances. To me it seems most of them are just ex-J2O/JCF members who have been banned for various reasons, and the followers of these people.

Because of the way things are, a lot of DM members have leadership roles in the community. Simply put, they are heavily involved in JDC, J2O and the JCF. The reason is because a DM member, Bobby aka DizZy, owns and pays for J2O. Without him, we wouldn't have this message board, this forum, or JDC. Fquist is another DM member who helps maintain J2O, and he was one of the creators of it. Both of them are the reasons we have this website. Since bobby is one of the leaders of DM, people he will pick to become an admin are also people who would probably be good, loyal clan members. And that is the reason why DM seems to "control" the community sometimes. I admit there is probably a slight bias factor involved too, but it is not the main reason.

So, let's take a look at the reasons why these "rebels", as I call them, seem so bent on ending my reign of "tyrany" and destruction on all you poor souls who have to deal with me.

1. I, or we ban people who are against DM/EM/MERC/GPW/Whatever.
I admit that I am ban-happy sometimes (although I'm not nearly as mean as I was before. I have been making an effort to cut back on this addiction. Heh.). I will NOT, however, ban someone for simply disliking me. I will obviously dislike them back, and keep a close eye on them in case they happen to break a rule, but that's human nature. Everyone who I have banned from J2O, from my recognition, has been banned for abusing the review system or upload system in a severe way. Dislike is one thing, but personal attacks which involve a rating of 1 are something else. That is inexcusable.

2. I stole CraccoBoy's gametypes.
All I have to say about this, is whatever. I respect CraccoBoy for his creativity in comming up with new gametypes, and I happened to come up with a few ideas myself that resembled his. I do not hate CraccoBoy, and I am *pretty sure* that he doesn't dislike me either.

3. I, or a JCF admin, banned them.
All I have to say is, "tough luck". You broke a rule. It was severe enough to result in a ban. Sorry.

4. I am biased against [instert clan].
No, I'm not. I'm against certain members, but not the whole clan.

The people who want to crash servers and generally be an annoyance are just as bad as the people who they claim WE (the admins) are. Don't be a hyppocrite.

Someone has to maintain order, and hold our websites toghether. They are not going to accomplish anything by being destructive. I was actually going to consider listening to a group of these people before they started threatening me. If any of you people who want to make me leave the community (or whatever else you have planned) are reading this, I encourage you to post a good reply. Just don't call me a part of the male anatomy or a female dog. I don't want this topic closed.
