Natasha has been saying that for months.

Maybe he will listen to you.

Yes Holister, do get well soon. My master is just itching to see what Dark has in store for you next.

Holister · Post by **Holister** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 6:19 am

Thank you Hannah. I don't know why I haven't posted a response to this sooner. I know that molly is alive and well somewhere and I plan to get her back.

Hannah I want you to know you are a great kid an will one day be great adult. I only wish that more people in the world were like you.

As for you voice. I silenced Jeremiah, I can easily enough silence you.

I hear an echo.

Totally inside joke everyone. Sorry.

We got rid of Deathblaster. Maybe now we can get rid of you.

Because you an obnoxious, arrogant, egotistical hosre's ass that always has to have the last word on everyone's threads even it what you have to say is nothing but worthless garbage.

All you are doing is playing catch up to Ron for the highest number of posts and its getting really annoying. At least Deathblaster was humorous, you're just pathetic.

Natasha · Post by **Natasha** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 11:03 am

Kolya caring about post count? That is funny. Now I know why he is in a good mood this afternoon.

Although I see mostly your name at the end of the posts...

Geeze Kolya . . . you are starting to make me wonder if you are some kind of internet junky or something.

Sasha · Post by **Sasha** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 1:27 pm

He was supposed to be busy all day with some of the brass, but they rescheduled, so he had a burst of free time.

Not to worry, he is back to work, even if it is 21:30 here.

Oh and +1, bitches!

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 2:00 pm

I get to fly to Irktusk now.

Just as soon as I get finished pumping my post count a little more :roll:

You know mr. hollister I was told that you were a nice man by Mr. Greydawn but since your return all you have been is hateful to Mr. Kolya when he has said nothing to warrent the attacks maybe you should go look in a mirror before calling someone else a obnoxious, arrogant, egotistical hosre's ass.

In all seriousness, Ben's been through a lot. Last time he was in control, there were a good number of family members he no longer has, and he only has hope that he'll get another one back.

So if you think he's acting like an ass, it's probably with just cause.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 4:10 pm

Lack of self control is never justfiable. Never. Period.

We all been through a lot. More than most of you will ever know.

Still, I do not randomly single out society members.

Although I suppose he was wise to pick me. Anyone else might have already beheaded him.

Shadowstalker · Post by **Shadowstalker** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 4:18 pm

Hey I am all for Ben venting instead of repressing his emotions, as we see what happened before. I just think he needs to vent in the right directions is all. And when he goes looking for Molly if he asks I will back him up best I can.
Thou I do have to say, Hey Kolya what up? You are being a little more talkitive than normal? Not complaining but wondering.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 4:24 pm

Like Sasha said, got a run of real free time today and the better part of yesterday.

Meetings were rescheduled and all the debriefings from Operation Silver Strike have more or less ended. Other teams are handling the follow-on operations and we have hit a stage in the planning where we really cannot move forward without some more intel, which other teams are handling. We have been granted a break in our fairly fast tempo'd pace of operations.

So I thought I would catch up a bit on the boards. See what everyone was up to and chew the fat with some of the folks around here.

Shadowstalker · Post by **Shadowstalker** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 4:39 pm

Sounds reasonable to me.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 4:40 pm

Good. Natasha says I need to be more sociable.

Holister · Post by **Holister** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 7:13 pm

I have something to say so listen up. I have been focusing all my aggression towards Kolya and I appologize. I still think hes a miserable SOB that needs to have his head handed to him royally, but what I said earlier today, that just wasn't cool.

I have a a new duty and I need to be more professional.

I would just like Kolya to stop being so damn irratating.

Im sure he's a "good enough guy" once you get to know him and all, but I have little patience or diplomacy left in me.

So I am sorry for ragging on Kolya today, as I said, It wasn't cool.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 8:16 pm

Slick non-apology.

Can you at least tell me why you think I am a miserable son of a bitch?

Shadowstalker · Post by **Shadowstalker** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 8:35 pm

Uh I would like to hear that myself?

GhostSpider · Post by **GhostSpider** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 9:18 pm

It's because he's russian. :wink:

Just kidding Kolya, you know I respect what you do. And who you are.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 9:28 pm

None taken, and, thanks, and, yes I do know. The feeling is mutual.

Shadowstalker · Post by **Shadowstalker** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 9:41 pm

I would like to make a point if I may. I have worked with Kolya a couple of times now and I have trusted him not only with my life but the lives of my team. That is not something I do litely, Kolya has my trust and respect.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Tue May 01, 2007 12:11 am

At the momment, Ben deserves a little slack for the aforementioned reasons.

Ben has recognized he crossed a line and repented (partially). Provided he doesn't keep jumping back across the line, we should let it be.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Tue May 01, 2007 8:58 am

Thanks Shadowstalker. The same on this end, too, you know.

Being the obnoxious prick that I am, I disagree mostly.

Grieving is one thing. I understand some people need to do it. But losing self-control is unacceptable. Like Sasha said, venting and being anal leakage are very different things. I think we know which is the healthy one.

But Holister is not creative enough to insult me, although his inability to bring himself under control is unfortunate, especially for someone with his skillset and training. Between the chumps I have met at Black Badge and some work in DC, I really worry about him.

If he is not careful he will burn the wrong bridge, one he may desperately need someday.

As for repenting, he did not come close to even partially apologising. Apologies with as many conditions as he gave is just more of the same insults; nothing like an apology.

There is no excuse for his behaviour, but I have been asked to give him a lot of latitude by people I respect, so that is exactly what I am going to do.

That is all there is to it as far as I am concerned.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Tue May 01, 2007 10:26 am

Not definding him in general, just the last day's outbursts.

If they continue, then we have an issue.
