I think being oversensitive and a little antagonistic was also what you were ... no offense meant with that .. but making such a fuss about it shows sheer frustration over something pretty benign
Occasionally, I fall prey to my own sensitivity and I do overreact. Clearly, there have been times when the mood of the moment has taken over for my usual rational thinking processes. While this isn't the case here, someone mentioned awhile back that I set myself up for this because I sometimes post outrageous stuff about myself and then get upset when folks react negatively. But hey, no one is perfect.
Everyone of us here have had posts deleted and threads removed ... most of us don't feel the need to make another thread to complain about it ... it's not hard to figure out why things are moved or removed
Like I said, mood of the moment.
Ron contacted you or you asked him and he responded ?
Ron sent me a PM explaining what had happened. I did not solicit it. However, I do appreciate his taking the time to offer me his explanation.
The G&O is for BODYBUILDING related posts .. not hard to read the "description"that states that .. it doesn't include personal opinions on any subject in the world
It's not a highly scrutinized guideline .. but it is enforced and mostly by Ron him self
Guess I should have read the forum description huh?
My experience there was far from the way you see it .. but you weren't part of the behind the scenes drama .. what remains there now is all it will ever be .. a ghost town with an out of touch owner .. for all the years it's been there the same shit has gone on and on about improving or growing it never changes and never will .. Matt is not capable to understand everything there is to know and cannot remain focused on anything long enough to accomplish it .. he let his chance fall through his fingers because of his own weakness and insecurity
Sometimes I question what the attraction with that site is for me. Yes, I too have felt frustration over unsolicited promises that never seem to come to fruition. If excuses were results, that website would be amazing. Matt does appear to have issues with staying focused and completing tasks. I guess I am hopeful that this will eventually change. Most folks learn and mature over time....I guess I am waiting for this to happen.
No, I was not privy to all the behind the scenes stuff that went on during that particular time. Maybe that's a blessing. I am generally a very positive person. As such, I try to gravitate towards positive experiences. Too much drama strikes me as being highly negative and I try to avoid it as much as possible. However, sometimes I do allow myself to get sucked into it anyway. Matt has allowed me enough moderator privileges to be able to help curb a lot of the spam. He has also lately heeded advice on ways to resolve the spam problem. So, at least in this area, there is hope. Now when it comes to political/racial/ethnic stuff, Matt and I are totally on different pages. I don't see that ever changing.
I'm not hating or trying to incite an argument .. I'm just stating my opinion
Nothing in your post suggested to me that your were hateful or trying to incite an argument. Your opinion is valid and I appreciate you sharing it with me.
