Okay, yes, I knew that you guys were kidding.
At this point in time, and for the foreseeable future I am not reall open to kidding on any subject related to what happened over on the THF.
Some folks do know all that went on, Spanky for one, and others just saw the peripheral side of things.
Do I claim innocence in the matter, no I don't, I freely admit that I caused problems over there.
Whether those problems were real or imagined by a certain few folks, is immaterial, the results are, I was banned for 1 year, and was Up For Re-Evaluation As A Member In 2010.
Folks, the THF and this site and any others, are just internet chatrooms/message boards, what ever a person wants to call them, Not A Friggin Job.
I would not go back on the THF if they paid me to.
Had one person made an effort to really get involved with what was going on, and not trusted or relied completely on the judgement of a Moderator that had developed a Personal Grudge against me, and one that he has yet to give any reason for, the situation could have been diffused.
Those of you that are/were on the THF at the same time I was, saw that the one Moderator had no problem in calling me out on the site in front of the membershiip and making it clearly known that he wanted me off the site to the membership and was looking for any excuse.
Throw in the fact that when other members, Sethfish/Spanky/RGC/Maggie to name a few began defending me on the site, and questioning the actions of that particular Moderator, they too were banned from the site.
Not all of their actions were taken in my defense, in some cases it involved other but similar matters.
During the time I was on the THF one recurring problem that I have grown to totally despise on all but one of the forums I am on is this Post Count/Membership Level Status crap.
On Accurate Reloading, which has been around since 1998 and is world wide in scope and membership. once you get past your first few posts, it does not matter how many posts you have, up to the 30 Thousand plus range, you are simply listed as One Of Us.
I have seen more folks make mention of another members Post Count or Membership level, and that is BS and causes more problems than anything else in my book.
I have yet to understand, and I have discussed this with several folks, as to just exactly WHY people will join something and not be active?
If I offended any of you last night with my spleen venting, it was not my intention.
However, while the adult or normal thing to do would be to move on and let what took place on the THF not bother me, I am not put together that way, and when someone does anything to me over something I do not even know that I did, I never forgive nor do I forget.
I am a lot lesser person than most or probably all the rest of you, but there are still people that did stuff to me when I was in High School, and the Newcastle High School Class of 1969 is fixing to observe its 40th. Anniversary, that if I walked up on them and they were on fire, I would not even take the time to piss on them to try and put it out.
