I like you

but there are absolutely 0 repercussions to saying anything to merle.
You saying that is about the biggest power he can get.
The worst that can happen is you can flame him so bad that an actually important person could step in and warn you

Why do you think the whole "MMA med" team always picks fights and hates on the JSP med/TT team and tells them that they have control over nothing?
Because in reality, these guys do nothing but hold fg for 10 active bettors in this section, and have absolutely no control over a single thing other than that. They have to create their own scripts to give themselves a title in this section that only about 50-100 people regularly visit, only about 20 seriously normally bet.
Why do you think I spam every single one of their mediation topics? Cuz they can't do a damn thing about it, it's as much spam as theirs since it's not supported.
Not that I dislike them at all

Fat's a cool but very opinionated person, don't know anyone else and it's fun to do.
Though I found it funny when merle told someone in a UFC stream topic just a sec ago that UFC.com and yahoo sports streams them like it's the noble thing to do after making a public topic announcing that he has downloaded the torrent of every UFC and Pride fight.
Edit:
What they like to do is try to make everyone who challenges them (including the meds, and will be me in a sec) seem completely stupid compared to them.
Teehee I guess that one flew over my head then

Wow, you've got some self esteem issues huh? I've stated publicly on many occasions that I have no power over anything, nor do any of the other mediators. I've also stated publicly on many occasions, that I'm just another random d2jsp member, and am not above anyone else. And I have never thought any differently It actualy shows a weak mental state for someone to draw that conslusion.
And his statement is about the biggest power I can get? The ego of mentally healthy people isn't affected by such things as that. Based on your post, apparently it's true for you, but personally, my self image doesn't rise and fall on the opinions and statements of other people, especially people from the internet. Based on your evaluation of this whole situation, obviously yours does.
And the whole mma med team always picks fights with the d2jsp staff??? Is that some type of a joke? Since this is such a common occurance, why don't you provide even 5 links to such examples? In fact, I challenge you to even provide one single link of me picking a fight with d2jsp staff. The fact of the matter is that some of my very best friends on this site have TT's, with one of them being a retired mod. So instead of making empty bullshit statements, why don't you provide a list of examples? Now remember, you said the whole MMA med team, and you used the word "always", so it should be very easy for you to provide examples for every member of the MMA med team. Get on your marks, get set.... Go!

Just the fact that you were compelled to state this, is strong evidence of your own insecurities, and low self esteem, because in reality, there's not one single person, on the med team or otherwise, who isn't aware of that fact. Were you honestly under the impression that there are those who thought differently?

My mediating of bets has nothing to do with power, or any type of self perception, in fact... How possibly could it? They're not even related. I mediate for one single reason, and that's out of concern for other people, because I don't like to see people get welched. It takes a high level of insecurity for a person to be able to interpret anything else out of that.
Regarding your quote specifically: No thinking needs to be done at all, it's simply immaturity that motivates people to behave in this manner. There's not even any argument about that. And if that's not true, give me even one example of a mature reason why someone would do this.

You should find it funny, but the reason why you should find it funny is because I gave that response jokingly, out of ligh hearted sarcasm. But an insecure person isn't able to clearly see honest jokes like that, because reality is blinded by their insecurities.
All in all, the truth of the matter is that we're no different, and don't do anything any different than anyone else on this site, it's only that in addition to that, we happen to mediate bets as well.
And no, my motivation isn't to make people look stupid... If I'm attacked, or someone calls me out, I simply defend myself, and this often results in an continued textual exchange, in which I further defend myself, and if this results in someone else looking stupid then so be it. That's an unitended consequence, not my motivation.
Certain people sure do have an odd mentality, and view on life.
