View Full Version : What I'd like to see: an apology

I think that those who were primarily responsible for the site being taken down know exactly who they are and what they did. I think that they should first apologize publicly to Attroll and Rock for causing so much extra work for them, then I think that they should apologize to the rest of us for causing a site that we enjoy and sometimes depend on to come close to being closed permanently. But of course they won't -- people such as that rarely take resposibility for anything they do.

Boone,

If you don't think people should do what you want, why do you think they should do it? Yeah, I wrote that just as you said it. Your post is what's known in the trade as a 'troll': Starting a dispute, rather than calming it.

Instead of so many people saying, in multiple threads, "The other guys did it" - I think that is in Troll's major post from Sunday - perhaps now is just a good time for everyone to take a deep breath and start to behave in a more tolerant and less contentious way.

I don't think Rock and Troll would demand that, so I'm going to close this for the moment. What they would really like is for discussion to happen civilly.

I will send them a note, and either one of them can elect to reopen this. I'm not sure this is going to help at the moment. Thanks for bringing it up though.

*I don't think the OP was trolling BTW.
