Right - what you said. Do you honestly think I don't know you and Budworth especially have not been on Gyne's case for weeks.
No paranoia at all. Just call it good instinct.
I've brought up the tracker forum issues to RobFunk all season. When no action was taken after this last offense, that's when I started to speak up on the site itself. Voicing my concerns via AIM just wasn't getting the point across.
How do you like Budworth briging up suicde by Gyne in the next thread?
That was overdoing it, obviously...but people should know better than to take threads like that seriously.
Looking at this entire thing I am not really sure if you are pissed at Gyne for not posting the way you think he should or The Rx. moderators for not taking your side here. Which is it?
I was never pissed at gyno. Show me a post where I yelled at him, called him derogatory names, or otherwise bashed him. I disagreed with his practices, but I did so in a respectful manner. Maybe if you took the time to actually read my posts instead of getting defensive, you'd realize that.
As for being pissed at the moderators, I'm not pissed. I'm disappointed with RobFunk for leaving me out to dry when I first brought up this issue, when he had agreed with me in prior conversations. I'm disappointed that you, TTinCO, and Journeyman jumped to conclusions and wrote my posts off as bashing before even reading them, and not taking me seriously(Journeyman made good on this, though, and TTinCO apologized, but I'm still not convinced about you). I'm also disappointed that a head moderator would act in such a professional manner, especially considering my posting history here. I wasn't some newbie or a ghost trying to make noise or stir the pot. The defensive and immature nature of your initial responses in this thread were very disappointing, to say the least. As a head moderator, you should be the model of calm and collected. You should also set an example of doing your due dilligence when an issue is raised. You failed on both counts with this issue.
Disappointed, frustrated, but not pissed.
You throw Rob under the bus by posting things from a private conversation that make it sound like he is neglecting his job and don't see anything wrong with that. Remind me never to have a real conversation with you.
Any conversation that Rob and I had via AIM regarding his tracker forum thread is fair game, IMO. I continually IMed him reporting issues with the thread, he'd respond and agree that they were deceitful in nature...then when it comes to actually speaking up on the RX, he went MIA. Forgive me for feeling confused and betrayed. All he has to do is post here and either agree or deny that he said that. I didn't post a private conversation, I simply stated what a moderator had told me. I also attempted to IM him last night(before "throwing him under the bus"), but he refused to respond. I did everything possible to not drag his name in the mud, but his not responding in here or on AIM left me no choice. And facts are facts. I still think he's a good guy, regardless of what he thinks about me now.
In general, I don't post other peoples' opinions on here unless I get their permission first. Ask Journeyman, whose permission I asked for before posting that he agreed that the tracker forum thread had been mishandled. I've exhibited far more class and respect in this thread than you have.
But not having a real conversation with you would be just fine by me. Heaven forbid I actually have something to say, disagree with you about something...you'd just get defensive and dismiss my opinion as bashing because I have an agenda. Wouldn't be a very productive conversation.
