I address this to ot, because she is my friend. I seldom provide commentary on my actions, but the same people try to twist my actions into additional fodder.

Regarding the post that was deleted, the stated assumption about the relation of the author of the article is verifiably false. All that does is start rumors that are untrue. Then someone else have the audacity to continue to say it's true? Why would I not remove it?

Although the LML article being referred to was primarily about a family, the sarcastic comments on the post would lead one to believe the article was all about promoting accomplishments. Even if it was, I don't understand why accomplishments would be disputable as the sarcasm would suggest. Keep in mind, that all is not as it seems just because you read it here.

Also, I find it ironic that the poster doesn't mind mentioning names when he himself doesn't like his real name mentioned. I "Laugh Out Loud" at that.

There are a few people that frequent the forum that have political and personal agendas they are trying to promote. In my opinion, it's nothing more than hatred against the undeserving. Most evident when there is a history of this kind of activity from the same members over and over again. Their objective is to sway public opinion to their beliefs and I'm not going to allow that under known false pretenses.

Speaking of hate, I grew to hate the company I resigned from, but I'm not going on a public Internet campaign against it either. I'm not going to allow that kind of stuff on the forum. This place is not the petri dish for hate. To me it's not much different than operating a billboard business and allowing vandals to spray paint remarks over your client's ads.

Sometimes I wish we would use our real names on the forum. The professional site Linked-In.com and FaceBook.com use real names and that does provide a large degree of validity and legitimacy to everything. Those sites differ from forums in that the people that opt into membership and groups know each other beforehand. I've got some ideas for better things. I would appreciate other people's opinions too (by private message please).

So go ahead people and continue to bash the Nazi Webmaster... I have pretty thick skin!
