*sigh* It's so disappointing to see Tommy act that way, I thought he was going to be different, but apparently not, reminds me of the Big R man. Tommy gave to much special treatment to his friends, and let them go around insulting anyone that they disagreed with on any thread. I suppose both sides were in the wrong to a certain extent, but no one wants to just say sorry and start over.
The Thubanites did have 2 people posting on 1 account, and didn't realize it would be a problem at the time, and they did post thuban material in a non-thuban related thread, and they did argue with other members. Yet those members mostly purposely started fights with them on purpose, with the sole intent to get them banned, when they committed far more offenses. The CF moderators also acted rather unethically, when Lita was caught pretending to be leaving the forum and pretending to be 2 different people, they also attacked other members that were non-favored, and encouraged other members to attack them. Steve, Chaska108, and Chakra also allowed other members to copy and paste long blocks of text, for very long periods of time all over their forum, and no action was ever taken against them for that.
Both sides pretty much broke the rules, but to just slam one group simply for not liking their opinion is so mean. I really hoped Tommy was going to be a different and be completely unbiased, but it was not meant to be.
Thubanites " Hi guys I want to play kickball with you guys at recess"
Litakickballteam " No I don't like you and don't want you on my team. TOMMMY TOMMY TOMMY"
Tommy " Okay Thubanites go into the corner"
Thubanites " You guys hurt our feelings!"
Litakickballteam " Tommy ban them ban them ban them *throws a dodgeball at Arachne*"
I guess I am just upset that Tommy would post here, and claim to believe in freedom of speech, yet allow his friends to commit so many offenses completely scott free, and to go around attacking people on all of their threads without any repercussions. If there were repercussions for the Thubanites, then there should at least be repercussions for those that attacked them, it's the only fair way to handle it. There would never have been any drama if Tommy had simply drawn a line in the sand, and didn't allow his friends to go around stalking people on all of their threads. It just seems so wrong to hurt other peoples feelings like that. I mean they started the whole CF forum in the first place to allow greater freedom of speech, and now the whole thing has been hijacked by sycophants, that just want Mike Quinsey drivel re-posted all over it. The only ethical place to post is MOA imho, and it's going to be the only place I post. Oh well I guess I am done with the subject and put my last 2 cents in =).
