An open letter to DeVore

ColinM · 2003-08-26 21:48:44

Hi Tom, bear with me for a little while here, will you? I have enormous respect for you - not because I have to have, but because of who I perceive you to be. I registered on Boards.ie here as you can see back in November of last year. I first discovered Boards.ie when I returned to Ireland from the UK in the Summer last…

I believe that his intentions are good. He's fighting a battle on behalf of someone who, on the evidence, doesn't deserve the effort Colin is going to though IMHO.

I have tears streaming down my face with laughter.

ColinM: This is the person you are putting yourself on the block for. Mind you the reason the admins are so impatient with him in that thread is because it was things like that day, after day, after day. Also bear in mind that Detonated Sauce is Sloth and you get a picture of the stress he caused the Admins.

Hang on a second, the "letter" was written to me. So let me answer it.

I wont quote all of it as a lot of it is just setting the scene for a final comment.

ColinM, I always listen to civil points of view regardless of whether they agree or disagree with mine. I listen and reconsider my decision based on any new information received.

I dont know how you can say I "havent listened". I have, I responded on your very thread, I just dont agree with you or see any upside to allowing the Sloth character to return. He brought me nothing but headache. Apologies are not necessary and dont speak as loudly as actions. If the person who is Sloth truely wished to return and has changed their idiocy (which I doubt) then they can register a new account and go about their business. I'll never be the wiser.

Other then that I've listened to what you've said (and to be honest you have given no clear reason why I should make any concession to Sloth) and my answer is that he, and the rest of his personae, remain banned.
Thats my decision having listened to everyone. Please respect it.

DeV.

Speaking from experience, this is very true, and the admins around here are fair. think of some of the mindless crap i said when i first arrived here, and the repeated bannings and warnings. No body thought i could turn myself around but it happened, even because a mod here for a short period, untill certain people (you knwo who you are) made it clear that i'd have no peace as a moderator here and that i should leave. but hey i' still around. No body really know what i'm like, am i a muppet or something else, theres a card somewhere that says muppet.

anywho the point is that if people change, then they will be forgotten which is as good as you can hope for.

I must admit, I admire the manner in which he (ColinM) defended Sloth's integrity! We all... stand... together! Bom bom (a la frog chorus).

listen, is it possible that we can set up a special board for people to post on that when they are banned from everywhere else, they can still, like, post from there , and like, defend themselves and their nation til the bitter end?

or maybe i should just stop reading the feedback forums?
still, you open a site up to the world, and this is what happens. people get embroiled ina time consumming debate over someone that no one cares about, on a topic, no one cares about over something, that no one still continues to care about.

i feel ive lost 2 minutew of my life catching up on this thread.
im going to post in my journal about it....
