Thank you for posting Danny, I can praise you for that, while i still am intending on leaving I will at least get back to you with what i think needs to happen and perhaps I will change my mind,
As for bring up Daryl what I will say about him is that he joined he bullied, harassed, spammed and generally treated everyone very badly, he would insult, cuss, spam at every opportunity, the board became a mess. It got to the point where Danny stuck perma-bans on them, and to make matters worse he had a group of friends who did the same thing, once they were banned they made an offensive website about the forums, the site got closed down but it was a very poor incident and one which should have been forgotten.
The point I was trying to make is that now the positions are kinda reversed, that Danny, RV and some others are being the bullies and the behavior is being endorsed and seemingly encouraged since Danny wants to leave the 101 one reasons topic open, plus he is also getting paranoid just because I was trying to stop the bullying, yes i went against a direct order but when your leader wants it up for the laughs it gives him does nothing but piss you off and get you angry because once upon a time, bullying would have never been tolerated, you loose faith and truth is someone you once looked up to as a good friend. I still see no reason for laughing at another members expense here. yet James was annoying but he never meant it and unlike Daryl he never did it deliberately, we can laugh at daryl because we were trying to stand up for ourselves, now I am standing up for someone who despite his issues, has shown the forum for what is becoming.
I'm not asking for everyone to change, what i am asking for is for more tolerance and respect for others, that is what the forum was all about and i feel we have lost our way with respects to that.
