A Note From Sowulo

What the hell is wrong with all of you? Yes I mean all of you.

Why do I see people who have not posted for some time or those who have gone elsewhere coming back to flame this post? Why are all of you arguing again? Why do I see people who have not poted for weeks coming back only for this? There is no need for any of this inane argumentative bull****. Curt wanted this posted so that everyone would know why he left as he was getting a slew of e-mail about it. Many asked – he responded. There was never a call to begin arguing again, this is just an informational post, treat it as such. There is no need to rehash arguments again and I’m wondering if we could all act like adults for just a moment and please not argue and piss and moan for once.

Please note curt did not ask for anything. Clam was the first to ask for Scott’s response in the steam room and others followed very quickly. Some of use would like to hear Scott say anything at all about this and since the people who want it are the people who actually post the most here and did not run off to form their own mock WD site, or stop posting for the most part to go elsewhere, or just stopped posting, why don’t these folks just go leave well enough alone. We never see many of you unless Curts or Darrens name is mentioned or there is some sort of argument or upheaval of some sort, so please leave us alone here if your only intention is to stir up a piss storm. For the folks who post here frequently, why do you have to argue with everyone all the time, why do you feel the need to do this? Why? Now, for any of you who are taking up open argument against anyone, could you please be civil for just a few days?

Oh, and as a side note (a pet peeve if you will), do not think for once that posting in the steam room or lounge alone makes you a supporter of this site. Perhaps if just a few of you actually were to post in the technical topics once in a while this silly ****e would not be happening. I don’t blame this on having a room to speak in about non tech topics. I blame it on those who have chosen to come here and not help in the technical forums. That is where camaraderie builds, the base members come from and if the majority of you condescended to help out there once in a while maybe people would have a little more respect for you once they got to the lounge or steam room.<hr /></blockquote>**Penguin stands up an applauds**

Note the sarcasm.

I don't post in the tech forums(well, every now and then) because I do enough tech work at WORK. I come here to bull****(can't believe this word gets past the censor) with people who do the same kind of job I do. I'm sorry if in your narrow opinion that doesn't make me a member.

Curt was a nice enough guy when he wanted to be and to who he wanted to be. I'm not going to feel sorry for him because he left. It was his choice. I could give a rats behind what it was about. It all smells fishy.

Nice use of the implied "us" versus "them" in your post. "real members" versus "not real members" Great way to segregate yourself from the rest of the group. And they say there aren't clicks in WD. Phooey.

And why is it so gosh darn wrong that some of the members(oops, I guess I'm using that term too liberally) decided to start up their own site? Is it hurting you in some way? Is it being flaunted in WD as an alternative? Are the members there claiming superiority? No. It's an honest attempt to do some good. What's wrong with someone having a different vision and taking the time and effort to build it? They should be supported and not ridiculed.

i wonder how much longer this thread is gonna last. we're beating a dead horse here folks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

***The fatboy catches the beer, opens it and downs it right quick, says yum and asks for seconds.***

Mr. Pickles - I don't have a beef with you - we will just need to agree to disagree.

**Morticia Addams** · June 21st, 2002, 04:22 PM

I agree Takes the beer and lets it drip slowly out the can to the ground for my homey SOWULO and my girl RENEE ...

**Cleetus** · June 21st, 2002, 04:27 PM

That is it!!! I have had all I can stand and I can't stand no more.

Never ever ever waste beer Ticia. You are asking for an enemy by doing that, and you just got one bucko.

**ilovetheusers** · June 21st, 2002, 06:12 PM

Mmmm, beer in the shower. Makes for a good day to follow. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

**WebHead** · June 21st, 2002, 09:30 PM

Well I guess everyone probably know's where I stand on this, so I don't even need to say anything. And on a side note, I just think that there's more important things to think about rather than who said what to who. Btw,.. did anyone hear about how retail stores are phasing out VHS? Damn I'm bored right now. If I had a life, I probably wouldn't even be writing this. Ooops, that reminds me, I still need to go to the store to get beer. And also, stop being mean to each other. And everyone stop being so damn opinionated or something. Oh yeah, for those of you who have Sowulo boners, don't worry,... I'm sure he'll come back one day. I'm sure he's itchin to post as we speak. I mean, what's all the fuss aboot? Post if you wanna, don't post if you don't wanna. It's so simple, yet so complicated. :boobies:
