The issue wasn't fought over. It was discussed. Time, albeit too much in retrospect, was allowedwideblock wrote:"i wish i could take all the credit on this but the moderators are a team."
HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!! your right, they are the team who faught to keep jim around for the longest time. a team who let thier own personal fight against certain members cloud thier judgement on this jerk off. nothing against you personally ben, your statement just struck me as funny. glad to see the "team" is finally on top of this guy, even if it did cost valuable members to finally get there.
for all moderators to weigh in and then a consensus was reached.
My judgment wasn't clouded. I chose to give this individual the benefit of the doubt at that
particular time..... to allow him one more chance to see if he could pull himself out of the
sh*t hole he'd dug. He failed to do so. I don't look back and second guess my decision. Some
may agree..... some may disagree. [Many years ago.... I dug myself a nice little "hole" that I
had to crawl out of..... to this DAY, I still owe a debt of gratitude to those who gave ME the
benefit of the doubt.] This issue is behind us now and I sleep just fine at night. If anyone has
any problem with my decision I made at that time..... OH WELL....
Some members took a "rub" on how this matter was handled. You can't please all of the people
all of the time. Inevitably, someone goes away sore..... thats life. Those who subsequently
realized that their VALUE of this site comes from the HOBBY, the enthusiasm and the willingness
to jump in and help each other out in enjoying their Sweptlines have since returned.
This issue can be dissected, re-hashed, discussed ad-nausea.... and folks STILL will fall on
both sides with no end to the topic. Eight months have now elapsed and dozens of new folks
have joined our ranks.... and that's a great thing..... lets all keep the positive momentum.
For any who decide to dwell on the situation.... I can only say I'm sorry you have to do so....
you're depriving yourself of the benefits of a great community
