OK, i have seen several posts in which people indicate I am to blame for all this BS. The "other guys" have indicated the same. So I guess I have to say something.
First off, I have in no way participated in any of the topics in regards to the issue at hand because I felt if I just ignored it, it would go away, which is more than I can say for admins and mods alike from either side that were involved. You think my not saying anything is just as good as encouraging it? Bullshit. This is an open forum and I am not going to run around deleting posts because I am tired of hearing about one thing or others are tired of hearing about. Yes I am tired of it, but no I will not delete posts because of it. If anyone here or anywhere else thinks I have some incredible power over admins and mods and can force them to share my perspective, my views or opinions you are a fool, I don't have that control nor do I want it. Independant thought and freedom of speech have fueled the progress of this nation for years and it is no different for this forum.
That said, you want my opinion here goes. This all started over a post about some server issue.. which again I was not involved in, well actually I was, but I was not involved on the topic, but on a totally unrealated issue within the topic. Vosko was subsequently banned. Did he have the right to make the posts he made, absolutely, would I have done the same, absolutely. I have seen admins and mods publicly say things about me both here and on their own forum, I just choose not to do the same, it doesn't mean I don't have the right. All of this from one simple post and things got carried away from there, was there any stopping it? No, any attempt to stop it would only have fueled the fire more, this point was proven if you think about it for a sec. That quite honeslty is the only aspect of the situation that I paid any attention at all too, whatever happened later I did not even waste my time trying to read or keep up with. I just hoped it would all die down as it always has in the past and I still feel my not paying any attention to it at all was the wisest choice. In my opinion and this goes strait to everyone that has said my not getting involved is a part of the problem... all of you that made any comment of any kind in regard to the topic at hand in some way contributed. You kept the topics alive, you fueled the fire, don't blame me.
You wanted me to say something.. you won, hope you got what you wanted. What's the solution, well to continue posting crap and replying to topics will only keep the flame alive, just walk away (yes I do believe this topic in some way contributes, but I had no choice). From here out, let's talk about the positive aspects of Nopistons.com, let's get back to keeping this circus fun, put the other crap behind us and forget about the past few days. By discussing the positive aspects of Nopistons and not dwelling on the negative aspects of other internet forums.
Thanks always for your support, I do appreciate it.
