I'm backing Chris 100% percent on this, some of the attacks that have been aimed at James P. has been disgusting.
I mean, here is a guy who joined a forum, hoping to make new friends, and thinking that he'd meet people like himself...but all he found was that he was outcasted for being himself.
I mean, Daryl Jones and his friends, they were people who deserved to be outcasted, as they had no respect for the forums. But James P. does, I don't see him TRYING to upset any body, or talking using text speak, OR turning the forums into an instant messenger. All he's done is try and settle in, and you guy have pulled him to bits.
I am DEEPLY ashamed at all of you for all this. I used to consider this place a safe haven, a 2nd home, but over the last few days, I've been posting less and less because I've found that it's become place of poison, and that makes me deeply unhappy. And because of this, I have actually been seriously considering leaving the forums, because I've found everyone is starting to turn into chavs (by attempting to destroy or ridicule anything that isn't like them), and that is something I REALLY hate.
I hope that I'll see some changes after this, because I don't find any pleasure in being part of a society that does something like this.
