I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, I think people on both "sides" have taken this too far already -- John for pressing the issue (even if you're right, I'd really rather we not talk about standing judgement on somebody because of coy hints), and all the witch-hunt/are you now stuff.

Oh yeah, please let's drop it.

Edit to make myself less of a dick. Sometimes you just snap, you know?

Okay, I think I need to go. I am not an admin nor a core Buffista so I guess my opinion, which is based on the actual experience of having lived through a similar situation, is not applicable here. But having lived through it once and seeing the turmoil it caused, I'm certainly not going to sign on for a remake.

I wish you guys all the best.

So, yeah. That was really not helping your case, Schmoker. Really. Thanks for answering the question (which, by the way, was asked of you in this thread days ago), but no need to call people Nazis.

If not friends, Schmoker, you have allies. Chill, dude.

Is there a way to have a user account deactivated? Voluntarily, I mean?

Right, but there's a need for this guy to spend weeks acussing me and emailing me? I'm pissed, so I ranted. I apologize if I offended you Jesse, but I figured I better either just get booted off or something.

It's really frustrating to be having no real problem on this board and have some guy harrassing me endlessly. So I snapped, but I'm afraid I don't take it back.

But after reading him bashing me endlessly, I decided I deserved to let him have it back a little. And now I would like to just let it drop having had my say. And if you guy want me to split, then just take away my account and be done with it.

Still not sure at all what I ever said to get John so riled up in the first place

Up with the sun

God, what's with us? Do we as a board need to up our meds or something?

Schmoker, I understand your irritation, but wipe the foam off your mouth next time. Kristen, about 5 people said you were right, so drop the "wah, no one's listening" thing. You cannot control other's reactions, and being disagreed with does not equal being disrespected.

And we. must. CHILL.

Thrive to spite them

This has gotten way, way out of hand.

John, I respect you a lot, but I think this should have been taken off board and stayed off board. If you wanted to discuss this with the other Stompy Feet then it should have been done privately.

The only thing that has occured is now almost everyone is upset.

I wish that another person in authority had stepped in and made an announcement that this issue was off the table.
