Log Analysis
<br>
<br>This is the exact type of thing the Dark Council has been forced to deal with under Astatine. In response to Astatine's threat posted on the message board (Please see http://www.chaoslogic.com/db/grievance/Grievance_Message_Board_Astatine_Threatens_DB.jpg), FireFox asked for what Astatine wanted to see done. Astatine dodged the question and when FireFox told him what he was in the process of doing at the time Astatine replied with "I don't give a [explative deleted]."
<br>
<br>Astatine mentions that the Dark Council should learn to take negative feedback. However, it is clear that Astatine does not follow his own advice.

<br>vafirefox (12:35:47 AM): So, which changes would you consider acceptable?
<br>Astat1ne (1:20:26 AM): ones that are emailed for approval would be a nice way to get on the track to acceptable
<br>vafirefox (1:21:26 AM): You want me to ask for approval before I fire people or downsize the SA or get rid of the useless stuff?
<br>Astat1ne (1:22:17 AM): yep
<br>Astat1ne (1:53:32 AM): I deleted the topic
<br>vafirefox (1:53:41 AM): I noticed
<br>vafirefox (1:54:23 AM): The question now is, how far do you want me to go in that asking permission thing
<br>Astat1ne (1:55:32 AM): how about "I don't give a shit"
<br>vafirefox (1:58:35 AM): Then I'll still inform you of what I'm going to do.  I'm moving the DB website to Jac's server.  I'm firing CoFo for being unable to use even the most basic common sense in promotions.  I'm firing Khaland for not even being able to do the minimum for his job.  I'm removing Khobai for going too far one time too many and once I get the last piece of evidence I asked for he's being HCIed.  If you don't want me to do any of this, tell me so.
<br>Astat1ne (1:59:51 AM): I don't give a fuck
<br>vafirefox (2:01:25 AM): Then I will proceed and inform you of any further developpments.  Would you prefer one single mail every week on top of the report or bi-weekly mails that have less content?  Of course Ronin and you will have full FTP access to the new server
<br>Astat1ne (2:02:13 AM): and thanks for making me waste my christmas break on that database
<br>vafirefox (2:03:21 AM): It's not wasted and you know it.  However note that we're at the end of march and there is no end in sight.  Besides, I'm moving the site to fire CoFo.  I'm not going to fire him and ask him to host it still.
<br>Astat1ne (2:10:00 AM): is all this supposed to make me happy?
<br>vafirefox (2:10:55 AM): No.  This is simply supposed to show you that things are happening.  I've never cared to make someone higher in the chain of command happy with me.
<br>Astat1ne (2:13:13 AM): it's funny
<br>Astat1ne (2:13:17 AM): I do nothing, people whine
<br>Astat1ne (2:13:21 AM): I do something, people whine
<br>vafirefox (2:13:50 AM): You've said it yourself the other day.  No matter what a leader does, people are never happy.
<br>Astat1ne (2:15:04 AM): one would expect that subgroup command staff would be mature enough to take negative feedback without questioning in an unsuitable fashion
<br>vafirefox (2:17:32 AM): Since your decisions on particular subjects can change in a rather sudden manner, we will ask for clarification and precision.  That is a sign of maturity.  And obeying blindly every single time would only result in people incapable of making independant decisions
