Folks,
I know that not everyone gets along on the forum. Some people you like and some you just don't. I get it, we're human and have our preferences in who we like to interact with. If you don't like someone on the forum, feel free to address it with them via a direct message or even openly if you feel so compelled, but please let's not go ballistic and resort to stalking each other. Moreover, let's try to leave innocent people (friends and family members) out of any forum disputes. These people don't care or even know about GetBig and don't deserve to be harassed.
I know what some of you are thinking, "this shit has nothing to do with me, it's all about Josh". Yes and No. Josh and Bhank have been feuding. I don't know the specifics of why Josh and Bhank don't get along. It's not my problem, but I also don't want this place to become a hazard for people to visit for fear of having their personal and professional lives ruined and/or their friends and family harassed. Nor do I want to keep receiving emails from outsiders asking for assistance. I don't get paid to do this shit. I do it for fun and because I have a great time sharing with you all. You're all honestly like family to me, albeit online. I also have no favorites. I like Josh. We've always "somehow" gotten along. We just get each other and I'm one of the few people he seems to be VERY honest with. For fuck's sake, I know every one of his gimmick accounts and I'm never the person to ban any of them. BUT I also like Bhank. I appreciate what he does bring to the site, that being engagement, content and humor. This guy has no shame in posting up pictures, detailed stories of himself and others and actively participates within many topics posted by others. He is an active and contributing member. Whether he is a "good" person is not for me to judge. Heck, just the other day I told a random, young, homosexual that his purse was ugly and the guy was ready to claw my eyes out. Does that make me evil? No, but I'm far from a saint. So, any without sin cast the first stone but I think it's fair to say that we've had way worse than Bhank (we've had pedophiles & murderers to name a few categories).
If we allow incessant stalking, we (as a site) won't ever grow past the handful of members we have. Participation in forums is already a thing of the past in many respects. We come here for the emotional value, the fact that many of us have become online friends (some even in person) and moreover the fact that some of us have been here for over 20+ years. I'd hate to see us lose what little members we have left due to these types of issues.
I know some of you won't like this post and some might even become my enemies, but know that I hold no preferences and truly want what's best for the forum. If Ron disagrees, he can say so himself. If any of my fellow moderators feel differently, I welcome open dialogue. If the members want to argue this issues, that's fine too. I am not proud and appreciate feedback as well.
