Enough!

I have seen alot of things, both positive and negative, said on here about a relationship that really doesn't concern anyone but myself and Wiz, but as of yet have remained quiet. No longer. That said, enough is enough! There are plenty of other threads dedicated to the topic of age differences in platonic and romantic relationships. Why do we need another?

Also, the thread entitled "Disguesting" by TheChaosFactor is no longer a thread of people voicing their opinions as it is people trading insults. I'm so tired of this stupid "war". There a great many other things to do besides trading snide remarks about people we've never met on an internet forum. It's ridiculous.

To those of you who have been positive and supportive, I really thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is a touchy subject and it is wonderful to know that there are some people out there who truly believe love knows no boundaries. You are beautiful people and I admire and respect the courage it took for all of you to stand up in favour of something people so viociously oppose.

To those of you who thing it is sick and disgusting, while I obviously disagree with your opinions, I do agree that you have every right in the world to express those opinions, AS LONG as you can keep the mud-slinging and insults out of your argument. That was the one thing missing in the dissenting crowd. No one simply stated that they thought such age gaps were inappropriate and left it at that. Too many people had to try and demonize both parties instead of just stating their opinions and leaving it at that.

As for Trish, she has stated numerous times that I have been mean to her for "no reason at all." She seems to forget that the night we had our fight, she had posted up rude and derisive comments about my fiance. I decided to (immaturely, I know) be rude and derisive right back to her. If she cannot figure out that my rudeness to her was based on her rudeness to my fiance that is her problem. I had sent her a PM explaining that this was the reason behind my temper with her, but she either chose to ignore that or just did not comprehend it. Whatever the case may be, I have no ill will to her, despite what anyone on here thinks. I admit I was way out of line that night and apologize. I wipe my hands clean of that subject.

As for Madcrappie....The only thing I can really say is that for someone who has the privileges of a Super-Mod, he should really review what the duties of a Moderator are. A Mod is supposed to keep flaming and trolling under control and to put a stop to threads and posts that veer from the topic and turn into pissing matches between users. Instead, Madcrappie has partaken in the pissing match on the "Disgusting" thread and has posted a thread "Wizard Drew" which seems like it was put up solely for people to flame the Wiz. THIS IS NOT WHAT THE MODERATOR IS SUPPOSED TO DO. The Mod should be above all the pettiness and arguments and do his duties without bias. Especially someone who takes their Mod privileges as seriously as Madcrappie seems to.

I can't really think of anything else to add except that I will be alerting some of the more effective and responsible moderators to some of the threads in this Forum. Enough is enough.

Blessed Be,​

yeah, yeah get over yourself. if you dont want the flaming to keep happening, then why do you feel the need to post?? lets just start a new thread about it, shall we??

seriously, though, it is wizard drew who is acting immature. he is 54 for chrissakes.

once again, no one was attacking you or your fiancee, until he attacked people for voicing an OPINION.

and you dont know the reasoning behind putting up that thread for wizard drew, it was for him to stop bringing up all these old threads.... and personally attacking me for my opinions. it wasnt to (as what you say) to start a flame war..... I guess thats what you two want, seriously though, you two have serious problems. and why feel the need to start drama??

 

*sends lotsa postive energy and love*

as long as you stick to your truth it's gonna be okay.
and i know you will girl.

 

and I guess I should have been a good moderator and banned all of us for taking part in such a flame thread, that would have included your precious fiancee as well......

so I guess, you should all feel lucky, for I at least have a heart.

 

I know I'm going to get such stick for saying this, however.... as mods have a postion of power on these boards I think they should have the good sense to be objective and stay out of petty bickering.

If I need support and advice I would go to the mod who I thought could be unbiased.
S

 

yeah, yeah, and thats your opinion.

you know nothing about this situation, bubba

but carry on anyways.

 

I like madcrappie... he may be a mod but like everyone else he has his own opinions.

 

I know everyones been thinking, "What's lodui have to say about all this?"

ANd the answer my friends, is I don't really care. You're an adult, he's an adult. Whatever.

 

Thank you for the positivity and good advice, Samhain. Blessed Be!

Madcrappie: I was stating MY opinion. If you can't see that, and think I was only trying to stick up my fiance, and not voice what I think about the whole situation, then it's you who needs to get over your own ego. Whatever your reasons were for starting the thread, it doesn't matter, because you should be above what's going on and not be neglectful of your duties as moderator. PERIOD. END OF STORY.

And as for telling Samhain to stay out of it because she isn't as up to speed on it as you are...? Why, just yesterday you didn't even know Wiz and I were a couple, so you haven't really been informed about the situation that long yourself, to be making judgment calls on anyone here, have you?

Lodui, I thank you for the support, but could have done with the infantile question.

Lastly, I will not see this thread be turned into a bitch slap contest. If ANYONE wants to act like a child, IT WILL NOT BE DONE ON MY THREAD!
