“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
RSR .. knock it off. Jim is entertaining your issues. I won't. You chose to step down because you wanted to act in a manner unbecoming a staff member. Your choice. No problem. This isn't an issue anymore and no one is after you, nor accusing you of doing anything more than you did. The air is cleared. If you want to post as a member free of the restraints as a staff member, I can respect that. I can't respect it turning into something more than what it is at a later time.
Jim made the right decisions as far as the staff and board goes. I'm sure you feel you made the right decision from your POV.
Let's move on, huh? You're as welcome as you ever were, but this pissing contest based on he said/she said is bullshit, jr hi babyshit. Let it go.

Gunny, I was fine until the cheap shots taken at me in public
I did nothing and I said nothing to allow time to pass and tempers to cool down. Like you, I will not be accussed of something I did not do and stand silent
I siad my piece and being a mod I respectfully suggest locking this thread and I will NOT bring up the subject on any other threads
But I will respond to anyone saying I did someting when I clearly did not

Really? The reason you stepped down and anything involved with it is staff business and not common knowledge until you made it so. As far as I knew, you stepped down because you wanted to be free of the restraints as a staff member to go after who you wanted when you wanted. No problem with that.
Now it's turned into something ugly and bullshit with fingers being pointed because someone's out there spreading bullshit rumors.

You are right Guuny. I did step down as not to cause problems. For some reason cheap shots were taken at me over rumors I never heard about
I am not the one who went "ugly" and as I said, I have no hard feelings towards most of the folks here
I do not want to cause problems but I will not be accused of crap I did not do

Okay, then. Let's move forward with a clean slate.

Let it go. The fact is, you stepped down of your own accord because you didn't want to be confined within the restraints of being a staff member. No harm, no foul.
Anything else posted to the contrary was most likely based on misinformation. Seems all you have to do is be who and what you say you are and have stepped down for the reason you say you did to prove it wrong.
Seems a lot of counter accusations out of context were levied towards the staff as a means to justify certain behaviors. The fact is simple ... if you (the universal "you") want to run someone off the board for personal reasons, you don't need to wear a badge. I'm cool with your decision, but let's move on and let it go.
And while not specifically directed at you, ANYONE invoking the "friend" word as a means of making Jim feel guilty is full of shit and needs that open space between their ears cleaned out.
