No, he did -not- see the full conversation, nor all of the actions of either party that composed the entire story.
I have been asked by a few people regarding the whole story, and I have told them (and even provided evidence backing up my 'side'). One example was over one year long use by dst of admin tools to harass and spy on dreamers and use of council powers to harass me in and out of game.
She killed my role long before I sabotaged it (and she laughs about this and states this as well, publicly).
Now, if I were to post my side of the story... it would be... 'moderated.'
How do I know, I have mentioned posting these things to council, and 'one' of the council threatened retaliation. I do not know which one but I have a good guess.

Dear moderators,
What is your position re: the recent thread dst wrote about me, in which she deleted all of the replies, and then locked it (preventing me being able to reply if I choose to)? To my knowledge all of the replies were worthwhile opinions on the matter, and what does that say about the moderators in general when one of them uses her power in such a one-sided fashion, effectively silencing the majority?
I would like to hear from each moderator if possible.

I fully support increased moderation, so long as it remains objective (as much as possible). It sounds like this will be a joint effort between moderators/Wookie, and I think this approach will work better than any one moderator.
There have been too many toxic words exchanged - and it taints the realm/forum. I will be the first to accept responsibility for participating in this, and I hope others will carefully consider their words too (and think about their effects before clicking 'post'). Let's move forward!

Have a nice day! :)

My turn? ^^
MD would crumble were I to post all the dirt I have on 'powerful' individuals like yourself.
I am choosing not to take your bait, not to play your game no one/dst.
As I have stated all along... just leave me alone (it is best for the realm). I have been willing to bury the hatchet for a long Time now - how bout you give it a shot?

Finding the answer is part of the quest... have you tried asking around? ;)

Not so random, because it is namesake quote - but, still, I thought I'd share. :)
"Of our studies it is impossible to speak, since they held so slight a connection with anything of the world as living men conceive it. They were of that vaster and more appalling universe of dim entity and consciousness which lies deeper than matter, time, and space, and whose existence we suspect only in certain forms of sleep — those rare dreams beyond dreams which come never to common men, and but once or twice in the lifetime of imaginative men. The cosmos of our waking knowledge, born from such an universe as a bubble is born from the pipe of a jester, touches it only as such a bubble may touch its sardonic source when sucked back by the jester's whim. Men of learning suspect it little and ignore it mostly. Wise men have interpreted dreams, and the gods have laughed."

A cat sat on Zleiphners face and then died... Zleiphner woke up he said, "WHY!?" He shoved the knife into its sheath, slapping DD who's a GoB onto a bee. Zleiphner, thought that this was bizarre So he kicked the puppy Fang and Fang cried... hell broke loose! and licked BoB, poor BoB always whipped by demons. Then came Eon who finally said, "Enough you people!" and killed DD. DD's blood flowed down and down until it reached a river of chicken fat. Change with Lord Tipu is a good pair of idiots. After Eon's retirement, they decided to kill each other but were unsuccessful, so they slept embracing one another's anime collections. Meanwhile, Peace declared war to avenge DD and all bees, headed by *MasterB*'s biggest CrAzY BeE Eff Eff. The war was won! DD's revival was forever postponed but finally happened in his dreams and reality too! But! DD mutated into a glow, eventually becoming human 9000.1 years later. He killed Change's cousin named Chaos with bread knives and a toothpick killed DD again. This time Permanently. With no way (pickle radish turnip) to not revive without dying again. Peace killed Pothos with his scarf and disappeared. DD trains hardcore despite nadrolski copying him. Except DD's dead dog is revived and it kills DD, starting an apocalypse of pretty rainbows indeed.

Err... How does natural selection happen?
Natural selection by itself is non random. But the variations in a population from which selection takes place is through random mutations/random chromosomal mixing. Keyword: random.Thus far unpredictable, yes, but a measure of randomness or non-randomness depends upon the capacity of one's ability to measure (or not) such things. I would argue that to call something random or not is subjective upon this capacity, belief system, etc.
(I wholeheartedly agree with you about your statement, I in no way subscribe to religious dogma (surprised?!) or scientific determinism... what I am trying to do is push us to question the 'obvious')

However big the picture is, the fundamental base of evolution is randomness.
And all this Time I thought it was natural selection! ><

what else can you observe on water that is not tainted by knowledge
Every living thing was created from water, according to the Qur'an; in Genesis, god's spirit hovered above water, creating darkness and light; in the Hindu tradition (and many others), water is the source of fertility and healing (both physical and spiritual).
Science teaches us that water came from the heat of clashing stars.
And when I look upon the reflection of the sun and moon on water, it reminds me that water began in starlight!
But it is the force of water that, for me, creates such power and beauty by how it moves through our day-to-day lives. From earth, to air, and back again. It may come as a trickle, it may come as a hurricane. It may fall as a drop of dew down a lover's chest, or as an avalanche.
It is the great shapeshifter.
It flows through our body (not to mention we are ~70% water) in our blood, just as it flows through all other forms of life, connecting us all to the Source.
Now, to answer your question.
Feel your pulse. Close your eyes and do not think about it... feel it.
That is water.

re: randomness
I really liked Chew's statement:
If you look at single elements, without considering their outside interactions, things can appear random. However if you look at the greater picture then it becomes much more predictable.

PoE I might sound crazy, silly whatever, but it is very hard for me to understand the reasons behind this sort of acts.
So I would like if you can explain me that. Like is there a real reason behind this?

For clarification. There are dreamcatchers, those with the ability to cast dreams, those with that particular role - but, there is only one Dream Weaver, and that is me. I say Dream Weaver because it was a role I created, a role I continue to play even though I destroyed my dreamcatcher role.
It was an art form I created to supplement the dreamcatcher ability, an art form I have begun to teach two people in the realm. An art form I will continue to use to explore, to push boundaries and limits, to make things challenging and uncomfortable (for with struggle comes growth, resilience).
There are a few who seek to understand the reasons, the why. And for those on that path -- it will require a stretch of the imagination, boat-loads of patience, and a discerning eye.
