I found it beyond ridiculous and it made me angry. I seriously had to think about reconsidering my return. I felt like someone was getting protection beyond what others usually get. BUT I said what I thought and the awesome mods were awesome. I do understand feeling frustrated when things get messy.
I'm sad awesome dude is out of character today. This is not normal him. I don't like it one bit. It would be nice if things cooled down and everything went back to normal. The mods are cool peoples. Rocket is usually cool people. I like everyone involved except the spokes.
May I just add one thing. I have behaved waaaay out of character before in my life due to life struggles. Those days do not define me. I do not identify as that person. The people I hurt, I wish I didn't. That is all.
Mazactly. I am cool most of the time, an asshole sometimes, and every so often batshit-crazy. I'm grateful to the understanding that most folk extend to me, and as a result, when a brotha gets bent out of shape, rather than extending the judgement rod, I work towards understanding -- some times are more successful than others.
I think there's a touch of dogpile happening, not as bad as I've seen at other forums thanks in good part to the moderation itself. I hope folks look at his history here rather than one day, and judge him on that basis. Rock is a keeper. The mods are doing their jobs. Not every day is easy money.
