thread closing

Then I demand you retract your statement saying you never tried to hide the fact, ruined my joke you did, very upset it backfired I was

Yes, you see what it leads to now??
Ok, to make myself feel all self-important and moderator'ish I'm gonna have a go at this malarky.
Ok, anon.. I'm not gay. Your remark was possibly the wittiest thing I've seen posted here (that wasn't posted by me)..

Hmmm, sorry that was a weak effort.. My post-fu is suffering under the weight of the crushing inevitability that West wouldn't have the Corleones to deal with any issues in this thread in a meaningful way..

I'm also a little disappointed in myself. A little part of me thought he might at least create a new username and pop in and defend himself to the hilt..


Well I'm sure there's a lot going on in the "cool kids" forum that us peons aren't privy to..

Westie,

I read the thread earlier on tonight about the abuse thing and while I thought it was interesting to read your thoughts on the matter I would make two points:

1. I think that in your frustration you may have closed the thread to prevent the possibilty of it becoming a sh*t fight and while I can understand that, I would say that this is a "community" and therefore closing a thread should be something that is handled with care and consideration. I have no view on the validity or otherwise of the thread, just that I feel that moderators should have a light rather than heavy touch on the board...

2. After you closed the thread you allowed yourself another opportunity to post a further response. Again, while I can sympathise with your frustration, that is not fair. You cannot, despite your annoyance with people, have the ability to abuse power. You seem like an intelligent man who has a zany sense of humour and you yourself like to provoke comment and controversy so I would just like to ask you to think about that. I will accept fully that moderators have to put up with a lot, but it goes with the territory in a way.... I think that moderators really need to have such thick skin that it probably doesnt seem worth it sometimes, but if you have accepted the mantle I believe that one has to take the rough with the smooth or else it mightn't be the role for you.

Please don't take this personally, it is just my view on things (not just the thread I have mentioned) that I have watched happening recently and I am not suggesting that blame is limited to moserators.

Thanks

Thats all well and good but when i find two members of this commuinity trying to set me up and have me removed. I cannot elaborate on this any further. Its my view and my view only,not the other mods or E-I.

So im all for comments, when ppl have their facts right. I would love to, absolutly love to elaborate fully but its against the site rules so my hands are tied fully.

I wont be posting much on here for the time being as this is the only way for me to avoid being set up. Sometimes backing off is the best way to deal with a situation.

If you look at all my so called provoking youll find there is a lot of fact to it.

Sincerely,
Westside.
