I too am concerned about how this issue keeps dragging out. If we as a community can't forgive and forget (or at least on of those two), and move on to other non-drama business, I will tempted to pull up stakes too.
I regret the passing of all the users that chose to leave, whether they be offenders or the offended. It weakens the community, and it's starting to feel like Survivor around here.

Here is the thing. If I am woman enough to apologize for presumed insults, then getting sarcastic answers, such as “Can I shoot her now” is absolutely (to me) insulting. As I had already resigned over the bullshit there wasn’t a whole hell of a lot more I could do. To me though that was just salt on the wound.
I was trying to soothe the situation, but you know what, the situation only arose because people decided that even though I was an admin and I worked my fucking ass off for this board, I had no right to try and stop the pikey bullshit from being spread throughout the board. I never said stop the argument, I said keep it in the original thread. If people had bothered to read what I wrote and not read a line or two then went batshit……
I mean let’s be brutally honest here, if you substitute pikey with nigger or spic or dago or any other ethnic, regional or religious insulting moniker this board would have went batshit. In fact, some of what was said could easily have been construed as hate speech and is illegal in many places. I didn’t say stop making nasty racist comments because everyone has a right to their opinion.
The problem is, when I chose to express MY opinion, I pissed off a few people. They were a lot more vocal about it that I was. I didn’t feel we needed the threatening pms or anyone pulling rank and making general statements regarding account suspensions or warnings. I thought if I made it a bit humorous then I could make my point and we could all move on.
But no, the accusations continued to fly, the arguments continued and it has now spiraled into an empty hole. Why? Because ONE MAN got butthurt and decided he didn’t want to post here anymore. Now Willy is mad because Duck has left and he blames me. Stormi is mad because Willy just couldn’t let it go and move on, he had to be a gigantic dick about it even after I resigned and stopped posting. And that is a major point, if I truly was the reason the Duck left as Willy has accused, then why didn’t Duck come back when I resigned? Moley gets involved and she is repeating whatever nasty comments the Duck has made.
Here is the thing. The Duck chose to leave. No one was ganging up on him, he made some disgusting comments and he got called on them. He CHOSE to leave. We didn’t ask him to leave; in fact I know he was sent numerous pms and emails asking him to stay. I’ve yet to receive a response from my emails.
I appreciate Stormi taking up for me, there was a lot more to my leaving than just this bullshit but this was the final straw. She was upset on my behalf as well as everyone else’s. If other people had just let it drop, yes I’m looking at you Willy, and kept their imagined humor out of it, this would have been done days ago. None of us are ever as funny as we think we are.
So now everyone is sniping at everyone and it all boils down to opinions. Well opinions are like assholes, we all have one and right now we’re full to bursting with them. Everyone can either ball up and put on their big girl panties or bitch and whine and moan and run away all butthurt.
Now you can lock this thread. I wish you all the best and I hope everyone decides to be grown ups about the whole thing.

I won't get in the way of your Forum. That's the first thing in a week you've been right about. Good luck with it though. Ta. We are all victims of something dear girl and all have feelings of injustice and anger but we try our hardest to forget and move on, rather than undignify ourselves and wallow in self-pity. Poor Hare has had a hard life and will still be feeling delicate I hope she comes around and find this is nothing in the whole scheme of things. I thought you had a heart, then heard about the school girl bully type rantings that you sent to PKD because he wasn't in the mood to hear another of your sob stories. Apparently this angered you and you said BB would rip him lots of new @rseholes or words to this effect. More over-dramatisation about something that would have just gone out if you hadn't interfered. As a suggestion you may need to calm your over-enthusiastic ego down where as it appears you are a special case and created a clique atmosphere. I know you originally thought you meant well but you just seem to have pushed the boat out too far in this instance. Passionate words maybe but they just come across as nasty. We will miss the Mad Hatter but this is bullshit as it was hare choice to leave, I really liked her. PKD felt he was being ganged up on and got the the impression your sob story was always trying trump everyone else's. However, sadly I am starting to wonder if a lot of what you say is even true now. Regretably, I used to think we could express ourselves freely here and now fear there are some double standards, just saying. Now get over it for fuxsake. Yours Moley I would just like to note: The Duck WAS free to say what he liked...he said it and said it and said it. He said things which on any other website would have had him banned for hate speech and insulting other members. Here it got him a bit of well earned ridicule and he couldn't abide that. What you three seem unwilling or congenitally unable to understand is that BB was equally free to say what he thought...and what he thought of the Duck was "what a petulant pratt"The Duck left long before I emailed him Moley...so don't blame his temper tantrum on me. He was the one with the sob stories... oh poor headless aunty Norah, poor traumatised young Robbie....he was the one who asked that he and only he ought to be given any special consideration. And even when he got it; when the offending avvy was changed he kept up his bile and invective. HE dragged it into other threads and involved people who had had nowt to do with any of it...and HE packed up his bruised ego and flounced like a 6 year old who didn't get to throw all his toys at the other kids in the sandpit. He LEFT...he wasn't threatened. He wasn't insulted. But he wasn't grovelled to sufficiently either...and Willy wasn't indulged endlessly for his childishly vengeful Pikey thread....so you've all flounced. Well good on you. And good luck to you too, finding another forum which will allow you the freedom to indulge your penchant for playing "look at me look at me aren't I clever" as much as this one has done. NOW the thread's locked.
