I don’t know the details, and I refuse to ask anyone. But I do know that a very popular member of my favorite forum got banned today for 30 days. I’ve never met him personally, I’m not in his clique, but I do like him a lot. But I still support the moderators decision… Even if he feels like he got shafted.

In typical fashion of the boards lately, people are responding with their emotions and not with their brains. Experience outweighs all else.

This has got me thinking of stopping my visits again. On one hand I know that over the past 2 years I have contributed some good things. On the other hand, all the in-fighting and time wasting is starting to piss me off.

Sometimes I just want to take a frying pan an knock some of them over the head and remind them that they are adults… Their world does not revolve around a stupid forum. Likewise, simply because they work with adolescents does not give you a license to act like adolescents.

I’ll stop ranting now. I have something cooler to think about.

Sorry……you’re right. The world doesn’t revolve around it, but it was significant to the one(s) affected.

I don’t know if I regret what i wrote. It was pretty harsh. There have been some times over the past couple of months when I have really had a hard time seeing the forest through the trees.

I feel for Derek’s loss. (Especially after reading his blog) But I still think the moderators did what they had to do. I wish that all the rallying against the decision had never taken place. It wasn’t fair to anyone. I hope it never happens again.
