Not a bad person i think. Just too bitter from years ago. If you start caring about others do and say and don't detach yourself from these petty things you end up like that. I have heard the things she says from several other people, former staff and veterans. Heck i even experienced some of it.

A bummer that most intelligent people feel bored and subchallenged. And instead of using their intellect for good purposes, they try to make others' lifes harder. Maybe because to compensate some social lack or to pull people down onto their level of dissatisfaction.
On the other hand, it can be challenging and entertaining for their presumed victims.

I'm almost tempted to agree with you. However, anyone that smart could come back here and play it cool, being careful enough not to reveal himself. Since I, and most other admins just can't be bothered to hunt people who aren't causing problems he'd probably get away with it. It's a shame really, because he could probably come to really enjoy the game again. Oh well.
In fact the RP encounters i had in-game were enjoyable in fact, and seemed like a nice person. But I'm in no place to judge, as I am too "new" here indeed.

I once played on a server a few years back where most of the staff fell into these behaviour patterns. New players were clearly inferior and had to produce a lot of content before being even remotely recognised.
Many people gave up pretty much straight away. I appreciated the glaring criticism though. Without it I would never have discovered my passion for writing in the first place.
TL;DR - Those sorts of attitudes suck. But they can have occasionally beneficial outcomes.

Karlotta is right about some things. The problem is he wants this big earth shattering statement of his rightness every time he is right. It is not enough for a problem to be fixed, for Karlotta to be satisfied the past must be changed, and that is an impossibility, but that is what he is looking for. He sees himself as a crusader for justice in discoland, but doesn't understand that most of the things he is crusading for justice about have already for the most part been addressed and taken care of by the staff. Is it perfect? No. But continuing to bring up how Virus did something wrong when he was an admin, what like 4 years ago, doesn't prove that the problem exists now. Another good example is his fixation on Joe. Joe hasn't been an admin in what, like 3 years? It doesn't really matter anymore what Joe did, didn't, is claimed to have done or claimed to have not done during his time as admin, it is irrelevant now, but Karlotta can't seem to let it go. He doesn't know when to quit on a topic, he doesn't know how to accept when he has lost at something. Yes, sometimes we are right about something and we still lose the argument, that is how life goes, it is something most people in the world have learned to accept, Karlotta has not. It is why even if given a clean slate and unbanned from disco, he would be rebanned within a few weeks. It is a repetitive behavior that he can't seem to break himself of. I would assume it follows him in real life too. I would imagine he is some kind of politically left social activist, or at least that is what he wishes he were, fighting the man wherever he can be found, no matter how simple, daunting, serious or absurd the situation might be.
Did have lots of fun playing hide and seek with him during my time as Mod and Admin.
