DAMMIT ALL OF YOU, GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!
I agree with you, I’ve always wanted this place to be somewhere where you can escape the outside world and your troubles, talk about sci-fi you enjoy and just generally chill, and more than anything get away from the flaming of other sites (not just sci-fi ones).
I came here in the summer of last year and it was like paradise, a breath of fresh air in a stale and vicious internet, I almost beleived that Saddy was a buddhist monk and the mods were the guardians of peace!!!…not a bitchin remark in sight.
As of late we have had several disturbances to threaten that feeling, and I’m very surprised that Saddy and the mods don’t appreciate that one of it’s biggest appeals was it’s ability to avoid this trouble, and I feel that’s why this place has so many fans.
Sadly it doesn’t seem to be the case so much anymore, but to be fair, mods can’t go around kicking people out for those reasons.
DT is an enigma here, most of us know what to expect from him, and he know’s that people will once in a while berate him, but credit too him, he takes it in his stride, he’s a mixed bag, sometimes you get the funny DT and then sometimes you get his more arrogant side, but what is agreed by most, is that he is a genuinely nice guy that sometimes says things that come out wrong…as simple as that.
But it’s nice to see that the instigators of some of the little isssues verging on the edge of flaming appear to have dropped that side in their posts (ya know who you are!!!), and choose to discuss without trying hurt/wound or upset others in the process…so hat’s off to you for that.
All in all, this place still doesn’t drag itself down to other sites levels.
And while that remains to be the case, then I’m glad to be a part of it.
