Reply to "The Final Curtain"

I gather a few of the members are pissed at me (see London thread).

I don’t have a dog – honest! I’m more of a cat person.

People come and go. I can’t control that. This is Mory’s last post:

Am I to assume that Mory left because Mike kidded him about “honery”?

Boy, the hits keep on coming. Is this how you normally deal with someone that you don’t approve of?

Gosh, sure glad you didn’t overreact. You actually emailed the CEO?

You know Camera, if you spent half the time helping new members learn how to snipe as you do bashing, this “might” just be a nicer place – don’t you think?

I hope that would be AS’ policy with everyone, even for the one time poster, as long as they follow the Terms of Service - even for someone that complains about AS. I would also think it wise that they wouldn’t cave in to public sentiments, but would approach it on an objective, and equal bases. After all, if someone else shows up that some don’t like, will this be the S.O.P. for dealing with them instead of a calm, rational and mature discussion?

Sounds like someone has been using Google to harass “someone”. You aren’t referring to threads like this and the “London” thread where several of the regulars have a thoroughly entertaining time bashing one of the forum members, are you? Some of the responses from the regulars on the “London” thread would make for some great nighttime reading for prospective users. See, my comment about “spiders” (referred to in the “London” thread) searching forums came in handy.

Pure nonsense. I don’t want anyone to leave, but it appears a few want me to, and are doing everything they can to accomplish it.

This is your time - the majority of members of this board (and I hope some will append their names below) feel it is your turn to do the decent thing - for once.

Is this a popularity contest, a soap opera, entertainment for a handful of regulars, or a sniping support forum?

Tell me Camera – do you expect AS’ CEO to boot me off this forum because some of you don’t “like” me? Because I don’t let others get under my skin? Because I point out hypocrisies when I see them? Because I won’t be intimated by others? Because I’m outspoken and irreverent? Because I don’t fit your and some of the other members’ mold of what a member should be? DO YOU REALLY EXPECT THAT?

Let me quote some text from this forum’s Terms of Service:
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this software service to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.
The highlighted words could easily apply to you and a few of the other forum members. The sending-me-a-virus bit in the “London” thread was a little silly, don’t you think, and in some circles might be considered “threatening”?


Anyway, remember when you said this:

Well, you must admit – things have definitely livened up.

Goodbye.

Did you know that the origin of “goodbye” is “god be with ye”?

Anyone up for a witch-hunt? If I leave, who will you have left to blame?
