| I agree with almost all the points made in your reponse and appreciate all the time you guys put into this site. I understand being busy and having big responsibilities above and beyond keeping up with exactly what goes on here. Maybe a more diplomatic route would have worked out, however I personally doubt it. This has been going on for a long time and admin have had many chances to put an end to it, simply by not allowing flaming with no basis, and all the he said she said stuff. It's become clear to us over a long period of time that the admin and site ownership would not stop this circus and have been seemingly in denial that the core has gone to far to the point of constant accusations based on assumptions, hijacking, flaming, hypocritic double standards, and rampant hear-say in their tactics. Maybe simply because they are not aware of the reality of what goes on and both sides of the story? Maybe they won't go against the member controlled democratic structure even when the system is being abused, just to insure that it doesn't look like Z1 is controlling anyone. If they went against the core group, whether right or wrong, it could easily be twisted to look like we were buying them off, bending under the pressure, and compromising the itegrity of the forum. I can honestly say to the core that are 100% behind you and have not compromised when it means going against you. I don't beleive the site owners were/are neccessarily stacked "against" us, but I do beleive "some" of the mods and admin have been and have represented biased interests at times. I may be wrong and it is just my opinion. We jumped the gun and made a rash decision in the attempt to make a point instead of just stepping away, that was indeed a mistake. Our "response" was no doubt over the top and we apologize for any trouble it may have caused. We'll be happy to make a donation to TT.net to offset the time wasted cleaning it up. I was working on a response to an original post that was deleted. After I posted it and saw that it had been removed, I copied and pasted the preview into a new post and screwed up the lazy links in the process. I could post all this again and fix the links like you suggested, however I would greatly appreciate it if you could just fix them for me so we don't have to take up another page with this same post and response again?
