As re-posted today at QS2 ...
Friends,
Over the past couple of days, I have received a few phone calls and several emails asking my opinion about the events of the last week.
7, I'm guessing this is your post. It's very good. However, there seems to be a lot of misconception about all this.
None of this is about the rules Flave posted. Rules are rules, good for the rules.
Flave did two things with impunity.
Impunity: exemption or freedom from punishment, harm, or loss. I'm not saying you don't know what that means, I've just used it a lot and no one seems to be making the connection.
All the post in ACORD BFF were deleted. All of them. Flav told me someone complained and he acted. He did not look at all the posts. He told me he was at home and didn't want to click on them and take a chance his kids would walk in. I completely respect that. But why did he have to do it then. And is BFF so important to me that it's worth leaving the site. Yes, ACORD is the group I belong to. We forged it, came up with our own rules and had one of the highest numbers to ever hit the HOF. Who is Flav to say what we do in our group. If people don't like it, they don't have to come in, period. Like I said before,
if someone is so stupid that they will click on a link they KNOW will offend them, they don't need to have a computer.So, even with that being said, that isn't what drove me from the site. I could have worked it out. Flav took a side in an argument without hearing both sides of the story. He took one side, deleted or edited the posts of the "banned boys" and left the other side of the story free to continue whining. There was NO checking. The mods on the other site keep saying they can help, they're mods and they have some control. I was a mod. Flav didn't ask me a damn thing. He just deleted and modified posts. So, where was the mod power there? There are two sides of a story. To hear from one side and act is not right, it is not right at all. The answer to this I get told...........It's Flav's house he can do what he wants.
7iron, I know you to be a good man. Don't by into the "they didn't want to live by the rules" bullshit. It's a lie. I won't allow one person, ONE PERSON to dictate the rules of my quit.
I wasn't going to respond to your post, trying to put this behind us and move on. But you deserve to know the truth. Now I know, everyone over there thinks it's the stupid rules. 'bang head'
And besides, we have way cooler smilies. 'sos2'
