It does matter in HAW. You don't see what the CO's have seen about what the admins think about the subforums. Two admins want them gone. A few of us had to argue why it's best to keep the subforums around.

 

Just because it's HAW doesn't mean there aren't rules. There's a CO forum and it's been mentioned before by the admins to eliminate it. The rules are pretty minimal in the subforums. I mean seriously, it's not that difficult to understand that once the thread is locked, just leave it alone.

 

Peter, you have gone overboard again. I'm asking that you think about whether or not continuing in this manor is helping or hurting the community.

 

I've gone overboard for responding to your remark about me? Just because we're CO, doesn't mean we have to sit back and let you step on us. We do have a right to defend ourselves.

 

Actually, my comments have zero to do with any comments you've made to me. They are based on how you have dealt with others.

I remember watching an interview with Ice-T. He was talking about how folks, him in particular, change when it benefits them. His example relayed how he hated the cops when he was doing the wrong things, but they were the first he called when his car was stolen. Reason for sharing that? Having been a CO, I realize that you cannot please everyone all the time. Sometimes you have to put your foot down, and because of this, some will be "for" you one day and "against" you another.

Peter, I know you can be an extremely giving and genuine person. I've seen it on numerous occasions. No one's asking you to taking an internet beating by any stretch. I don't expect anyone on here to, but I also know that you are intelligent and know exactly how your postings come across.

I honestly cannot remember me being cliquish. I'm sure I have been, but I always try to make a point of having a little dialogue with each person at meets. If my not making many meets the past 2 years because my car has been down most of that time is cliquish, I apologize. Are there some members that have drawn my ire? Sure, just as I'm sure I've infuriated others. If you look back at my earlier post, you will see that I included myself as those that need to make more of an effort to promote cohesion. Peoples priorities change; their preferences change. You, like all of us, probably have things going on that none of us will never know about and those things affect how we deal with things. It is because of this that I'm asking that we all use a little more restraint and goodwill.

 

I couldn't have worded that better, actually.

My whole issue with just being CO is that there is a majority that thinks I'm power tripping over spilt milk, when in actuality, I'm trying to get the person who broke the rules to understand why I did what I did. Did I come out a little harsh? Yea, I'm sure I did. Should I apologize for it? Probably. Did it get the end goal of the person to understand my point? More than likely (if the weed doesnt get to his brain first.)

But I agree with you Skip. We could all use a little restraing and goodwill. Me included.

 

wow............................................... ...

 

Really not into that but if you are go for it.
