Well, I for one, don't care about the supposedly great posters, the answers, the alleged victims, and the nay sayers.. I could be wrong, but personally, I've been having a great time lately with various ladies, and GUESS WHAT????? I didn't hear any "scoop", or rumors or inside info about anything, anyone or any event.. DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING WRONG, BUT I JUST GO, HAVE SEX, GET A BIT OF FUN, AND GO HOME.. I must be doing something wrong cause it's not causing a problem, and obviously, some think the purpose of the board is DRAMA, I guess I got it wrong.. cause I'm only having fun with some lovely ladies.. Thanks Girls!!!!
NOW, Back to your regularly scheduled drama.......

Seriously, I could give a fuck about Trees, but what if it were one of us that made a mistake, would you break rules to mess with me? If so, then the rest of us DO have a dog in the fight.

Wow Wispers, you are calling me out and saying I am driving hobbiest away and keeping them from posting and speaking there minds.

I am saying that people LIKE you that question absolutely everything someone might have to say and look for absolutes tends to keep people from speaking up at times.... I did not imply that you are driving people away. Or if I did that was not my intention.

Thanks by the way..... I started a whole NEW thread to respond to you and you are continuing to drive this one!

I guess so? I'm trying to see where I said that. Please provide the quote as you do tend to take things out of context.

But what are we missing with their absence?

He's more than welcome to answer:

Duh.............He is currently banned at the moment......

Who appointed you three as the local complaint department?

You didn't get the memo? All of those that mattered got the Memo..... Hey Still Looking? You got the Memo right?

BTW... Did you forget or just ignore that there were women posting as well?

And is that acceptable behavior? OR are all three of you violating the rules about accusations and sharing information you shouldn't (such as the contents of a PM) as you conspire against Trees?

There are no rules about sharing information based upon where it comes from other than private areas. The rule addresses POSTING Private Correspondence. You can paraphrase almost anything you receive without violating and information.

Seriously, I could give a fuck about Trees, but what if it were one of us that made a mistake, would you break rules to mess with me?

Asked and Answered!. Nope! But you are too busy getting flustered to stop and read right?

If so, then the rest of us DO have a dog in the fight. Originally Posted by 3daygetaway

I gotta admit that I thought this tread was ready to die off.... I want to Thank all of you again for not just keeping it going but for pumping new life into it!

3. Because Trees was a Mod, he had the advantage of power and control of the Boards.
4. Because Trees had power and control of the Boards, he was in a position that threatens the young and naive (in their minds).
5. If you or others were Mods or Staff and committed these abuses (andsome of us knew), we would hunt you as well.

This is being done in the court of public opinion in our little Society.

Personally, I think he was lucky to resign when he did. Less messy that way.

Keep trying to distract and deflect. We will keep sending it back down the middle.

And to the women who have posted about corroborating evidence, shame on you too. Advising a fellow provider to do/not do something is cool (that's how we become better hobbyists and providers), but when you make this information public you violate the rest of our trust.

Keep trying to distract and deflect. We will keep sending it back down the middle.

I don't care to have my business discussed by providers or amongst hobbyists--that's what I DON'T want to see in the future.

Since the girls had a change of mind on sharing I walked away from this and had every intent not to post here again but then read something aimed at me so I just want to say There is a huge difference about talking about other hobbyist vs. speaking up when someone with power is abusive with it...
If speaking up for them after they asked me to is wrong and shameful well then it is what it is I guess

Everyone here knows I have locked horns with Whispers, so in no way am I cheerleading for him.

I don't really care how he got to know the info he obtained. I'm pretty sure he didn't go asking around aimlessly for it. I don't see any documented hatred between Trees and Whispers.

Yes Whispers talks a lot of shit here - he talks shit here with impunity. Mods won't touch him. That's just the way it is.

Strip away all of the personas here and you have one issue here - abusing the MODERATOR title. Plain and simple.

Did it happen here? Looks like it probably did but I don't know for sure.

Should any abuse of power be tolerated? Absolutely not.

Will it continue? Hell yes it will.

Have other mods been accused of it in the past? Yes

Will anyone in charge of the board handle it? Not sure

That is what I see as the issue, ignore for a second that it is Whispers calling a former mod on the carpet. Remove all the bias you see based upon what you know of Whispers, and ask yourself if this is a valid concern.

Your words:
Many people here feel they cannot speak their mind. They are concerned with those like Codybeast or IronButterfly or others that will barrage them over and over and wear them down as they lack the ability to press it.....

So this is what I meant by you saying I keep members from posting or speaking there minds. Maybe I miss understood you but maybe not.
