An_Apple_A_Day did not, in my opinion, make any ban-worthy posts. I just went back and read all of Apple's posts, and it seems that the others were the ones starting the fights because they didn't like what he had to say. Now Apple gets banned because one of those fights was against one of the forum's leaders. Again, this seems petty to me. I hope I'm wrong, and I apologize if I am, but I think if you replaced TomD's username with someone else's in that Rules thread then nobody would've been banned.
I might be a 'leader' here but I am no moderator or dictator. Dameon and only Dameon alone is qualified to ban or not ban. The rest of us are equals.
I try very hard here. I hope some have appreciated it rather than just try to find fault with it. Some of the other members also put a lot of effort in here. I credit them as well. I am not trying to assume any authority. I just work hard. There is no point to assuming control here. Its not for hire. This site will never be here to make money.
You state that you think this Apple guy comes in and we just out of the blue dont like what he has to day. Absolving Apple for any responsibility for what he wrote in the first place. He is entitled to write whatever he feels, no matter how accusatory, no matter how obnoxious, and we 'didn't like it' and thus we are at fault for yelling at him.
That is your story. Counting on others who read this and just take your word for it and wont go back and check. Sorry. That just wont do. Apple came and started this both of these times.
You are using the same logic Apple used. Come punch someone in the face, deny that you did anything wrong , and when they complain , point the finger at them wondering why they are yelling at you.
According to your logic, anyone can come here, stir up crap, and if we dare complain, we are being mean and run a kangaroo court. Do you know how ridiculous that is?
As Dameon wrote, there is going to be some forms of censorship. Whether you like it or not. Dameon also wrote that the reason Apple was banned was due to ridiculous behavior .
Your thinly veiled message is that Dameon plays favorites with me and Carter. Well, I hope he plays favorites with EVERYONE who puts the effort free of charge to help this site out. I can tell you that Dameon works the hardest of all and does not deserve your accusation.
Apple crossed the line and paid the price. As Dameon said, if he doesn't like it, he can just go back to old forum . I would ask he take the rest of the moles with him please.
If you want to make this forum work, then I have a suggestion.How about you roll up your sleeves and put a effort in and stop judging the people who are working hard here. You put up rules. You contact doctors. You brainstorm with Dameon. Go ahead. Nobody is stopping you.
Do something constructive.
