Nero, glad to see you've realized that the message board isn't a text-based virtual reality to be taken so seriously. You're welcome back anytime if you want it but the last thing I need is a lot of in-fighting which always seems to be ignited by certain members (which Hutter already mentioned). Why does this have to be a popularity contest anyway? One thing I've seen over the past couple of years is a tendency for certain members to be very manipulative, always trying to sway or coax me to their side while demonizing certain others. I always try to see both sides and as is usually the case, the truth tends to lie somewhere in between. I've seen a lot of personality clashes resolved through simple email correspondence, which I'd prefer rather than running to the mods or posting for sympathy.
I try to keep things fair and I know some of you may not agree with how I've acted or reacted to some of the drama that goes down here -- that's fine, but I think people's actions speak for themselves. The thick-skinned, bullying types here would do well to back off on the obvious targets and just let things go for a change, and the sensitive types should remind themselves of the first sentence in this post and not let your emotions overflow onto your posts so much.
I'll take "Never Say Never" over "Goodbye Is Forever" any day![:D]
