....and I shouldn't really give a fuck, but I do. As do the umpteen hundreds who took the time to repeatedly reply to JPR's little missive. While attempts are made to make the situation black and white....there can be nothing but grey in such matters as she recounted.
What can be controlled, and has been, is input. HB40 gets banned and, frankly, he deserved it. He was stirring up way too much shit and acting on emotion rather than logic. I haven't a clue why UncleG got canned. But, that takes out two of my fav's on the board. I phoned HB tonight and we set up a drink for when I am back in town next week. He was laughing and agreed the ban was coming and deserved....he's such a shit disturber but...I trust him like I trust few others. He's brutally honest and that's my kinda guy/gal. Of interest, HB made me promise to try to get JD to that mini Merl meeting so that he could give him a hug.
What can also be controlled, is my own input. So, call this a vacation notice. The fun and interest I have in reading some of the stuff on here has basically vanished. I have met and am able to maintain contact with those that matter to me and, for that, I am grateful to Perb. Barring getting banned, I'll still answer PM's (not like I get a pile of those) and will wish to maintain my account so that I may initiate contact with those of interest to me.
One parting word to the mod's and management....it is my highly unprofessional opinion that this entire disaster should have resulted in the banning of a paying advertiser as well. I would not like to think that the mercenary aspects of collecting a monthly advertising fee overtook the honourable ones of keeping the playing field level. But, it "seems" that way. And, that's all I or anyone truly have...their own perceptions to work from in forming judgment. I don't envy you your moderation duties, but you do them well. At least, that's been my perception.
cheers,
eddie.
