In case anyone wonders, I'm getting the hell out of here, I have remained virtually silent for months but today not only the things I like have been insulted, I myself have been assaulted and I think I've had enough, I am not willing to be the target of emotionally unstable people anymore.
Here's the full text for your reading pleasure:
You're lucky you're not within the reach of my hands. This is NOT a subject for joking by half-educated juvenile morons who have spent their entire lives sucking at the teet of the system that they throw rocks at.
Why don't you go to Castro's Cuba for a couple of years and then report back to us whether that has changed your point of view?
Or are you just a lazy-ass who doesn't like to work for a living and thinks that all of us who work 15-hour days to support our families should support your lifestyle with our taxes?
Oh, let me back on topic: On a good day when you get me going, I can do a BETTER than good imitation of Col Quatrich - except that unlike Steven Lang I'm QUITE a bit larger - I'd have to bend way down to scream into your face from an inch away you idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I'm sorry, I MEANT to say "you 26-year old uneducated naive idiot."
Enjoy your lifes, this uneducated idiot is out for good.

I instinctively blew this off as a resurrected thread upon seeing it, but after having read your post I see now that you are indeed serious.
I am positive that absolutely nothing I say will convince you to stay, so I would only like to point out that it is because of members like you (Those that truly have interesting words to post) are the reason I choose to return to this forum. I urge you to come back, but I wish you the best of luck with your collection if not.

Sorry about the cranky post Tomhet, I've already deleted it. I won't disagree with your characterizations above, my bad.
I think I need to take a break as well. I'm going into self-imposed exile. I deserve it.
*POOF*

God, wtf happened indeed! Tomhet, I'm sorry that this was directed at you. IMHO, you are one of the most educated posters on here and I have learned much from you in a relatively short time.
And, as "cranky" as you profess yourself to be, I think I have seen many times over what an awesome person you really are.
I for one will definitely miss you. I hope you will reconsider. Maybe take a breather, but come back soon!

I don't see why Tomhet felt he had to leave--but I am thinking that an abusive message like that would have been grounds for an immediate ban.
I was also well aware, for the moment I read the post, as to who it was that sent it. What I don't know or understand is why it was sent in the first place.

I knew this place would be converted into a drama filled JPtoys. No thanks to y'all. No thanks to drama hoars like me, who vanish for 2 days and then all hell breaks loose. What happened anyways? Someone fill me in.

Someone fill me in. I've been here for the last 2 days--and I still really have no idea. Other than people with differing opinions often find themselves at the receiving end of aggression (does Avatar really warrant fanaticism?). But the Tomhet thing was a complete blindside--since it was entirely by PM as far as I know.

Can't we all just get along and stop bashing each other with brash words? Can't we leave our...rough personalities OUTSIDE the forums? I learned my lesson the hard way. It was a tragic day. It's funny how today is the anniversary of my banning from JPtoys when I was a lame over-dramatic gay bashing 15 yr old. Sure I was led to being banned, while being in the insulting end from others. But I learned to leave my personality and my opinions outside of it. We are here to discuss dinosaur toy figurines which I'm sure bring joy to our lives. We are also here to discuss dinosaur art, paleontology in general, and culture, media, news and the occasional personal problem. Nobody is asking for personal opinions, nobody is asking for for love or hate, and nobody is asking for insults. I advise us all to GET OVER OURSELVES and promote a more friendly environment.
In other words, if you don't like that a Battat is being repainted, a hard to find Battat than nobody has, then DON'T LOOK OR COMMENT. If somebody comes in and tells us that the Bible is the most accurate human document of our times, DO NOT BASH THEM. If you think my drawings are ugly, then don't comment or look. If you feel your intelligence is superior to another person's and you deem them as 'uneducated', DON'T TALK TO THEM. If you are cranky and drunk THEN DON'T POST unless it's something funny. Just be milder.

I was unfortunate enough to witness the entire conversation, but I'd rather not get into details. It was a silly argument and bucketfoot eventually deleted his post (which some of it you can see in Tomhet's original quote at the top of the page).
I can fill some of you in if you're interested, but only by PM. I'd rather not start all of that over again.

So wait a minute here. Kevin is quitting posting repaints 'cos people don't like to see 'sacred' figures 'defaced'. DTF left and put Tomhed in charge, Tomhet got insulted and left, Al did the inslting and went into self-exile, and everyone's arguing amongst themselves. Sorry if this is not entirely correct but it is what I gathered from the various 'doomsday for Dino Toy Forum' threads. If any of this is wrong, please inform me as I don't want to offend anyone in any way. Also, please don't go tomhet.

well, mega, I will be posting some comission wips in the art board in a few min. A true sacred cow I gather, I am repainting the Bullyland mastadonsaurus....I will also add comparison size shots to the Krentz apato page, and a new thread for the Krentz coryntho. Susan let me tweak it some...

I feel an urge towards writing something that makes sense and helps everyone calm down a bit. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, this is a forum where people who love dinosaurs and dinosaur toys meet. It has become bigger and bigger over the last year. When I was new to all this I was happy to have found some people with the same crazy passion as I had. It was a little cozier, I have to admit, we were around 100 or so members back then. But somewhere else I wrote that more members mean a chance to having more fun and celebrating diversity. Was I wrong? Is this place just a vanity fair? I donĀ“t think so. Adam did not want a vanity fair, he wanted to create a place where we can feel at home and well hanging around - just as I did for over the last 19 months. I hope the infections have been removed by now and we all can go on exchanging facts, figures, art and pictures about dinosaur toys peacefully. This is what 99,9 percent of our members want, too. Not more, not less.

Bucketfoot requested i post this
Dear Fellow members, SBell, Tomhet: I would like to apologize to all of you for the commotion I caused last night by taking a humorous, tongue-in-cheek post that was made with no malice whatsoever by Tomhet and replying to it in a most inappropriate, ad hominem manner. Unfortunately, by the time I came to my senses and deleted it, the damage was done. After reviewing my outburst and its consequences (ie Tomhet's leaving), I decided that I no longer deserved to be a member of the DTF and deleted my account.

I hope Tomhet will come back. I don't think he should leave just because one person lost there composure. Bucketfoot and I got into it a few months ago and we talked via PM. He called me all kinds of names. To some extent I think i had it coming. We worked it out. Bucketfoot has a problem with going off. Kind of like Tourette syndrome. He gets mad and then he feels bad about it after the fact. He is really not a bad guy he just has some personal emotional issues. I really wish that both of them would come back. They both have a lot to offer.
