Unbelievable.

I am very curious as to whether I'll be banned or not.

I know that Sully is reading everything that is said here. He certainly knows my position and yet so far, I'm not banned.
Fine. I'm happy with that.
I think that what I'll do is simply change my user title and sig. now and then in ways that reflect my position and see what happens.

PS
Sully, I don't think that there is anyone here that won't say.
"Hey, No big thing, I'm over it" if you would just be man enough to admit that when you were confronted with the fact that you were wrong, about a number of things, you reacted in anger and that you now realize that no one conspired against you.
If you would just admit that you realize in your heart that, in spite of your best intentions, the task of creating a "Democratic" forum. Filled with " fun, easy going people", was a little more difficult than you bargained for.

I respected you for what you were trying to do. I supported you in your effort.
I would again.
Be a man. Step up to the plate and say it.

"I'm sorry, I screwed up."

Sort of. I will only be installing and testing the change. The people (by a democratic poll) decide if they want it up.

100% pure and transparent democracy. Just didn't have a system for this part before, and have seen the error of my ways.

Wonder if Chuckles is going to make it through today? He was on thin ice an hour or two ago.

Silliness

My two weeks here have been fun.
I was the first one flagged.
Discovered that I did not know how to write code and participate in democracy.
It helps to have friends.
It helps to know where the power lies.
Amazed that so little talk about sailing is going on.
Not surprised that so little talk about sailing is going on.
Don't ever name yourself or the dog SanderO.

Pray that the Merry Pranksters at Sailing Anarchy never decide to take a field trip here. If you think the Netters were bad........damn.

3:37 PST. I expect this thread to be gone by 4:00.

- AND - You can't fire me, because I quit.

I wish you success, but anticipate doom and unmitigated failure.

Out of things to gripe about now that your changes can be made, huh? No drama left for you guys to feed on. Bu Bye.

Could you please stop refering to "you guys". Not everyone new here is the big bad wolf. I for one am interested in a SN alternative and think constantly refering to those of us that have migrated here as "you guys" is devisive and inflamitory. It would make much more sense, and harmony to treat individuals on a individual basis.

Just my $.02, when adjusted for inflation it is worth exactly what you paid for it. Zip.
