I hope I'm not cutting my own throat here, which is the reason why I have relatively been silent. The thing is folks, we are shit slinging. This isn't helping matters at all. We're in an endless circle of He said / She said and it's not getting us anywhere.
How anyone can say that the majority of the posts on this thread alone are professional is beyond me. There has been name calling (hello school yard), accusations, and double talk. I haven't even wanted to look into this thread as well as a few others because of that. That's not to say that the opinions aren't valid, they are for the most part, and the questions are valid as well. All I'm saying is that when a question has been asked the answer given for the most part has been used as an excuse to bash the 4 former mods which is NEVER a professional reaction.
I love the AFF community, I have done everything I can to become a part of a family, and now that there is strife all I see is it falling apart. DA loved AFF and did everything she could to make it what it is today. She did the coding work, she started the resort of the main site, she worked her ass off with little or no thanks from anyone. What saddens me is that some of you have forgotten that fact because it's so much easier to either sit back and stay silent or "forget" about what has happened before so you don't make waves.
I know I probably just slit my throat and allowed someone to happily piss in the wound by saying this - I just couldn't stay silent any longer. I hope that I didn't - my hope is that you will take this as my opinion and a sad attempt to ask people to sit back, take a deep breath, remember what has happened over the past year, and think damn it! Please - we do need to get along, and belittling, attacking, and slinging the shit isn't doing it.
