Could be my last words... we shall see...

[Wayward Clam]

An open letter to Scott, the Mods, my friends, and the other users here at Windrivers.

Scott: I asked you very politely both publicly and privately for a comment on Curt Sowulo; I have not been one of the pathetic wannabe witch hunters here. And I know you read my PM because it said “Read by Recipient”. You declined to answer. That is definitely within your rights--it’s your site. You can be whatever kind of head honcho you want to be.

The Mods: Seems pretty obvious to me what kind of head honcho Scott wants to be. It’s your prerogative, of course, if you want to keep volunteering to help him make money. I have great respect for most of you, and hope nothing similar happens in your cases.

My friends: I don’t want to lose contact with you. So if I remain unbanned here, I will show up now and then to stay in touch. If not, feel free to email me; the address in my profile and if that goes you can ask most people who know me for it.

Everybody else: I will miss the old Windrivers. Oh, don’t get me wrong--I don’t plan to stop coming here completely. Unless they throw me out. It is Scott’s site, he can certainly do that if he feels like it. But that’s exactly the issue: it IS Scott’s site. It’s not your site, or my site, or the Mods’ site. And Scott’s site seems to be about helping Scott make money. Which is fine for Scott. Hey, if I had a site, I would want to make money off it too! But I don’t know Scott, and he doesn’t seem concerned with doing me or my friends any favours, so I don’t feel like helping him either. I won’t help people other than friends any more with tech questions. I am no longer concerned about trying to entertain anyone here (and generate hits in the process.) And I don’t see any reason why I should be civil to the various morons who like to argue around here anymore. I quite simply have no more reason to give a damn how this site does.

If anyone wants to flame me for this post, feel free. It’s been a while since I had the freedom to tell an idiot exactly what I thought of him.
