Its more than just someone trash talking, this is someone clearly just coming out and saying hey RQ - Fuk you,
I'm not upset with someone cursing out the mod. Why are you?

I made some points on the other thread that you ignored. Basically I gave some scenarios that would produce the same results as what you're claiming is happening, but involving more people and without the conspiracy.

I think some of us are concerned that it will have a negative impact overall...to me the end result will be LESS players on the server.
So to avoid losing players we should remove players?

Have you worked so hard over the years keeping this mod and the server going only to come to an empty server? Sure I could be wrong and I hope not, but the average new person who hears about RQ from another player who promotes it in a GOOD way...and I stress GOOD - versus the kind of players the kind of posts made by a person like Timmy can attract, I would tend to think would be a prefered development over one thats now trending.
Suppose there are a group of players who can't stand players who aren't as good as them or can't stand players who are easily offended. Don't they have just as much of an argument as you? They could claim that more players would play here if only we got rid of those whining no skilled players constantly accusing them of botting or winning merely cause of ping.

Is this any different than someone going to school and was left back so many times, that they now need to bully and beat up on younger kids who are smaller and less powerful than the older kids in that class? What would a good teacher or principle do if they saw this going on? They would remove this kind of person because it would prevent other kids in the class from learning or being motivated towards learning in a positive environment.
Quake is a game about killing people. You're not going to get along with every single player you come across. Some players are going to dominate you and call you names and do anything they can to get under your skin.

What do we expect you to do ? All we can do is let you know what we think...and I can speak only for myself, but I think the people supporting the complaints agianst Timmy are speaking out because we do not want the server to down the toilet.
I understand the point you're trying to make. I don't fault anyone for feeling the way you do. I can even remember a time when there were a couple servers like this. These servers were home to a select group of regular players who were friendly with each other and purged anyone who didn't fit in. There is nothing wrong with having a server like that, but Shmack has never been that type of server and I don't have any plans of changing it. I welcome all players, even the ones who hate my mod and think it's for noobs.
