If you were truly indignant about my private message, then you would have kept it private instead of showing it proudly just to prove how persecuted you are. And the only reason your post was quoted is because the link added it for some reason and I forgot to delete it. The Private Message is about more than that one post, but your general attitude in general.
And yes, the cursing was out of line. I apologize for that. It is just very frustrating that whenever I get a little time to be with my wife, something is happening on this site that pulls me away. Now I have a pissed wife and am awaiting a very unpleasant evening.

Wow... you're being patient Wayne. A member on MY site quoting a pm for all to see, whether the pm is from a member or staff, gets an IMMEDIATE ban.

agreed. The only time you have a "right", imo, is if you own the site. All the rest is just a privilege

New licence holders coming here now, I despair for what they see and what they think of it.
I have great sympathy for both sides' points of view, but as things are, it isn't ever going to get resolved to mutual satisfaction. I would urge those who can do so to try and compromise, accept flaws in the other side, and carry on with the site. (That's coders AND staff). I would also urge anyone who doesn't feel able to do so, to back away from the site gracefully, sad as that will be.
As a vB user I greatly appreciate the efforts of ALL - staff and coders alike - please do not let this "war" carry on any longer.
For most this is a hobby. Take an honest look at yourselves, and if it seems that it's got a bit more serious than a hobby and it's all a bit much, please step back for a bit.
I come to this site for modifications and modification discussion. All there is the last month or so is all out war. Those involved may not realise how unseemly it looks.

VERY well said!

Though some have said this is not the case... to me and many, MANY others, it does appear that way. "I wasn't chosen to be on staff and I'm jealous because some who were chosen aren't as good as I am" does seem to be the attitude.
And the "things aren't happening as fast as I want them to" and "we're not being told what's going on fast enough" attitudes are getting OH so tiresome. Impatient people who can't give the new staff time to get settled into their new positions, who seemingly want to KEEP things stirred up, are nothing short of childish.
Newsflash... The teams are still being assembled... that's been posted many times over. But, sorry to say, for those who wanted to be team members, and who keep posting these moronic threads, your chances of being a team member are getting slimmer by the day. Your fault and noone else's
