You can call me that out of remembrance if you like. ;D I remain an admin by name but not by action.

You have been in fact lurking for months, it seems that you like that I look behind and those fights seem so stupid, I am not going to tolerate that kind of stuff, so unless you want to start bickering again I see no reason to ban you You should wait until I start acting randomly and irresponsibly before you acuse me of anything

^Yeah, the lurking has been better for me then being an "active" participant in this group - I know that I have had a hard time not taking a defensive attitude (which I do admit, I feel is warranted) towards this forum for a while now. As a bonus, I am sure some members are thrilled with me not being here, and I don't tick as many people off with my "views" by not posting,
As far as the fights, and the "bickering" (especially if you are suggesting that it was me doing the bulk of the"bickering" - particularly when I felt I went to lengths to keep my end of the "bickering" civil, like attempting to explain to pilty MANY times what composite meant in the way it was being used in reference to the fossils, and such, until it became clear to me that he had no intention of wanting anything "cleared up" as it was not a communication problem we were having - he was just having fun at my expense, and he was drawing the whole thing out specifically to get at me) that you and various other forum members down right actively dislike me, and what I have had to say/post here. I will say that I absolutely do not feel welcome here anymore.
I will say tomhet, that I am actually going to be afraid to make posts now that you are the Admin - I have no idea if what I will post will lead to some "bickering", or tick someone, or you off, and then get me canned.
Like I said before, besides "cool figure" and "nice work" posts, I have had the feeling for the past few months that every post I make will be the one that looses me my membership here - like the birds and femur motion posts...

I like you, and miss you. I know thee are others who feel the same. Please don't loose touch altogether. I don't truly think Tomhet will go out of his way to ban any of us, I am sure he will honor Dr. A's attitudes about things.

CCM seems to be dragging me BY NAME into every dispute or disagreement he has had with this forum Were you, CCM, on any other forum, you would have been banned a long time ago. You are deliberately trying to incite me to quarrel with you, so you can play your innocent, "what, me?" act. You don't and have never fooled me.

You are the one who is citing me in every dispute, now you are playing innocent again! You are provoking me, but then you say, "huh, me?" As usual. Admit it--you want tomhet to ban you so you can go crying to your DML friends saying how anti-science we are here.

I has never been my intention to "fool you", or anything of the sort. You seem to like the drama - you have left this forum in a huzzah, and returned multiple times, only to do the same thing again. I feel that you go out of your way to incite me to respond to you, and you previously went as far as to have other folks come on this board and make fun of me. I don't like you, thats true. But you clearly don't like me either. So...now, in response to this, Tomhet, I will probably be canned, right ? I know I am not your friend and pilty is - so this somehow clearly all my "quarreling".

Well, CCM, you should be happy, they have taken your side.

Sorry to disappoint, but nobody is going and nobody is voting. Thread about to be locked, at least temporarily...

Post by tomhet on Jul 12, 2009 20:42:33 GMT
Unlocked. Any post that has nothing to do with the thread will be erased.
CCM, you come and accuse me of being a bad Admin, I invite you to present evidence. If not, well, shut up or leave, you don't seem to want to stay here anyway, you are not being defensive, it's evident you have a hostile attitude towards the forum.

Just my opinion, but I think this a lot of fuss and noise over nothing. I think we need to cut Tomhet some slack, and give him a chance to get his bearings and some breathing room. Y'all MUST have some idea how much work it takes to run this, and how much of his time, which he gives to us for free. Without him stepping in for DR, A, someone not familiar with the site might have had to take over. Or worse still, no site at all. So, maybe just a thank you for your time and effort to the man would be in order?

So, maybe just a thank you for your time and effort to the man would be in order? I completely agree. I am not choosing sides, as I like and respect everyone on the forum, but I believe even if some of us do not care for each other it is still for the best if we treat everyone with respect. In this case, Tomhet is the admin, and really does deserve an even greater respect for taking on such a frustrating task at times (This scenario for example.) Anyway, good luck Tomhet. Obviously you will do an excellent job. That's all, I'm out of this thread!

I don't have any evidence that you will be a bad admin, but had/have concerns about what will now be deemed "acceptable" to talk about now that you are the final word on things. Like I said above, I have felt that you were "hostile" towards me in the past.
*Shrugs* I guess you are saying, I'll just have to wait and see...I hope you make your decisions about what/who is acceptable here, and what/who is not with a level, fair and open mind, like I feel dinotoyforum did.
For the record, I would say that my "hostile" attitude extends only to those who have been "hostile" towards me on this forum. I mean, I am just looking at this and have to say, Pilty saying - "Mods, decide once and for all! Either CCM goes, or I go." comes off as nothing but hostile to me. Has he received the same "shut up or go away" line about not wanting to be on this forum considering he only seems to want to stay on this list if I am removed from this list by the mods...
