Hello guys,
After considering it for months, I think it's time for me to leave. On various occasions (right now it's too late to point fingers) I've felt that my work is not appreciated (someone even complained that my Dilong review didn't have the quality he expected, to him a big screw you) I've had to keep my mouth shut while me and Piltdown (a dear friend of mine) have been insulted and humiliated time and again. Clearly we are not meant to stay in a forum that's for the scientific elite.
To all the people with whom I have pending business (sbell, dinoobcessed and theri), I say don't worry, I will keep my end of the deal, and if you want to contact me, my e-mail is toter_mond@herzeleid.net.
So long.

So long. I'm confused, is this you tomhet? If it is, tell me you are joking Have I missed something? You can't be serious! It won't be the same without you No more meanness people, I think sometimes we all get too carried away....

I'd have to say that I find that very sad that you choose to leave. I certianly do not feel that the forum is for the "scientific elite". *shrugs* I would also say that as far as pilty being "insulted and humiliated" that he didn't get anything on this forum he was not trolling for with a well baited hook. I would say that the folks who responded to him were no more "insulting" then he was to them, and IMHO, less so.

I had no idea that Tomhet was so unhappy. I hope he comes back. I will miss him! He is leaving while DTF is out of town. I always liked his reviews and pictures. I wish I could talk to him about this.

Why would you leave by just what a few " stupid " people said? You were great for the site, I loved your reviews, and all that stuff. I will certainly miss you here.

I wish I could talk to him about this. Maybe in time he will... you can always email him you know. So with Dr. A out of town, that leaves sbell to manage us all I will miss tomhet a lot

Huh. I hope everyone is on good behaviour, because I won't be around much either.
Did anyone know this was coming?
I have to agree with CCM--Pilty was always quick to jump in when feathers came up, and gave as good as he got. But Tomhet? I did notice he pretty much stayed out of those conversations recently.
Unless it was the recent Papo stuff--I really hope that my, well, disdain for Papo was not somehow translated as personal.

Sbell- is there a way to make someone a moderator for a week? You could choose a senior member and have them keep and eye on things. Just a thought.

But if Dr A came back, there would be no need for a new mod, would there.

What do you mean "if". He's coming back, just not for a few days.

I meant if he came back like today or something, there would be no point in a new moderator.

People disagree in life and life situations everyday & everywhere, Only last night i was told my potato salad was too creamy, IT WAS NOT TOO CREAMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This does not mean i won't be cooking any more, i love cooking. Anyway seems as though some people take things too seriously.
