Poor form on the part of several of you to jump all over one of our regular (and importantly selfless moderator) members yesterday.
You can look at the situation from several viewpoints. I will not argue some of these.
I will argue this at a couple different levels. Number one; if you have a difference of opinion with one the people who volunteer their time in here, you owe them the respect to air your grievances privately - at least initially.
Number two; there is a social feel to these boards. Just like in life, we support our friends, and this can be, and often is, at an emotional level - whether we fully agree with them or not. We usually take people aside if we disagree, and express this.
We don't call them out in front of everyone and throw them under the bus.
I am timing myself out for the next 24 hours because I am very disappointed with several of you; you show an apparent lack of understanding as to what friendship and loyalty truly mean in life; and yes, these boards are an extension of our lives to some extent.
I will leave it at that, because I could go on, but I won't. I could call out about six people by name here, but I won't.
I could just "forget" it happened; but I can't.

I agree. I don't post on here often but i just read through the gdt and wow some people went overboard. Shony made a decision that hjky whatever his name was be banned and the other posters and mods should respect her decision no matter if it was right or wrong. It's like if a family member does something wrong you still support them no matter what, i know this is a message board but whatever same thing. Now maybe we can all get along
