The whole Steverr1 issue over the past nine days has opened my eyes to a lot of things.
"Do this." "Do that." "Prove this." "Prove that." "Gimme this." "Gimme that." Then when none such is forthcoming, the insults and accusations start.
A few of you have appointed yourselves as the judge, jury, and executioner here. Endorsed by PA, you've had the run of the place and done as you pleased. You've been asked by others to please chill so that those who want to see what Steverr1 has to say can do so. You won't. You go right on doing exactly as you please. That might not be so bad if you were confining it to the threads it originated in or that the target posted was in, but you've taken it to other threads that were unrelated to your feud. That's going too far.
This forum is starting to disintegrate into a flame-board similar to Hottalkers, DRF, or even the dreaded HPU of a few years ago. If it's allowed to continue, that's exactly where this forum will head.
Since what you're doing is cool with PA, it's apparently going to go on until it's played itself out. It's his privilege to do as he pleases and run his forum as he sees fit.
Of course, PA will step in before that and put an end to it, but to me, the damage has already been done. I've seen the light: a few of you, in the heat of battle, have shown your true colors, and it isn't pretty. A lot of the rest of you have joined in or refused to get involved. Only a few have voiced an objection, and the ones that do have been hooted down by the lynch mobsters, which gets the point home to anybody else who may speak against them. I don't feel like sharing what little I may have to offer with people who have a street-guttural mentality and who are callous enough to not care about anybody else's feelings, so long as they can get their egos stroked. I realize that this will be unfair to those of you who had no hand in this nonsense, but I have to be fair to myself first, and I won't be a part of it. If you feel that's overreacting, that's your privilege.
As soon as I finish this post, I'm going to take some random characters typed into Notepad, go to control panel, reset my password with it so I don't know what it is, change my email to an unusable one, then log out so I can't use this account anymore. I'm also restricting this address in my browser, my firewall, and my network router so I'm not tempted to visit it again on impulse. That's how upset I am about this.
And the ONLY reason I'm making this long farewell speech is so that maybe somebody will wake up and see that it's gone too far and take steps to put an end to it. In either case, I won't be back on this name, any future alias, or as a guest.
Goodbye and good luck to all.
