The link was removed today, as well as all Jedi Defender staff were advised they could no longer use the Rebelscum forum.
This was done after constant and repeated use of our forum by some of their staff to bash Rebelscum.
Which isn't very nice, nor acceptable.
They have their own forum to do this on if they see fit.
I consider Rebelscum to be a place where friends of ours can communicate. Some of these people have abused this consideration in a manner we can no longer allow.
This is all that will be said on the subject because it doesn't deserve conversation.
You know what, this response from Philip is complete and total bull****. He banned jokabofe today there, and Dave hasn't even participated at RS in ages, let alone said anything bad about RS there.
He banned Nataku today, and similarly Jeff hasn't said anything bad about RS
at RS.
He banned CHEWIE today, who's not even a staff member here for Christ's sake, and to my knowledge hasn't said anything bad about RS anywhere, though he had a JD link in his sig (but NOT a JD e-mail account).
And I was banned, and the only place I've said something bad about RS lately at RS is in that Spam thread that Jason posted there a few days ago. That was pretty much it. Considering there were about 50 people in that thread expressing their displeasure with Philip at the time, I hardly think my one or two comments in it warranted any special treatment.
Granted, I did tell Jimbo to shut the hell up and stop flaming everyone over there in two posts, and then I lambasted that homo-phobe scalper Matkatnadam over his scalping of the Lava Vader. But again, a large number of other people did the same thing to both of those clowns.
So the bottom line is that
Philip's flat out LYING over there about the reason for these bans. We're not stupid enough to talk **** about Rebelscum
AT Rebelscum (since Philip doesn't allow it, and we have more tact than that usually). As everyone knows, we do pretty much all of our RS bashing over here, along with many other RS members who can't speak their mind over there.
So Philip and Dustin can keep lying all they want to everyone about the reason for the bans. It had nothing to do with me fighting with Katmandu and Jimbo, and it had nothing to do with any of us talking **** about RS at RS. It does however have everything to do with Philip's burning hatred of JediDefender, since he keeps losing most of his best members to us, and because this is the place where everyone discusses the truth about his site, and his disgustingly disrespectful attitude towards his members, who are nothing more than a meal ticket to him now.
It's disgusting really.
As for Jimbo suggesting he hasn't given me a second thought since we had to ban him from JD here long ago, that's absolutely laughable. He's posted about me incessantly at sites like The Jawa and Trade Fed, where I wasn't even a member. He even thanked me personally in his main page news post at Trade Fed (after we hadn't even corresponded in months), when he returned to that site since he was banned from all the rest at the time. True, I do love popping into RS and putting that ******* troll in his place from time to time, since no one else there will, but that's about the extent of it. It's often quite entertaining to check in on him and see how many people he's flamed the **** out of on any given day at RS.
He's just fortunate that Philip Wise made some bizarre "special arrangement" with him to allow him back into Rebelscum, after he'd already been banned from there at least twice. What's really strange, is that the first of Jimmy_'s bannings was because he was constantly berating Philip all over the forums there. Now the two are best of friends, and Philip protects him at all costs. Go figure...
