I meant every single word I said last night, period.
No sarcasm involved, no jokes involved, period.
I am glad you're gone, your behavior on the server and now in this post clearly proves me right in thinking you do not belong in FuN
Do not, however, tell only 10% of the story, spanky, and do not lie.
Here's what happened. You connected to the server and at some point decided to stick your [FuN] tags on, to which I then asked the very fair question "if you consider yourself a FuN member, why don't I ever see you on the forums" (it is a membership requirent actually, always has been), you said that FuN isn't active so why should you. Well, FuN is as active as the members make it, and you haven't done much to change anything about it, have you. Furthermore you claimed you were quitting FuN "tomorrow" (that is, today) and was only sticking on the tags because it was the last time and also to annoy me and you liked doing that. In response to that, I kicked you off the server, because I did not feel I deserved that kind of treatment from a then-member and maybe because I liked doing it. You then came back and used quite profane language to describe how you felt about me and FuN, unfortunately you left before I had the chance to respond.
So there you have it, you did not leave FuN because of what happened last night, you said you were going to already before anything serious happened. So do not claim otherwise...
And that's a fact, I'm sure someone could cough up the server logs if need be.
Not that I feel I have to explain myself, I just want to make sure everyone knows what happened and don't get a wrong idea.
Right, as that's out of the way, let me put a point across, which is not only aimed at you, but actually at every FuN member. Only very few of us make an attempt to strengthen the FuN community, as imo is part of membership, and I find that a big shame. That is why I have a go at every member of who I think they could do more for FuN, and I know the before mentioned group of members support me in this. Is that being self-centered? Not at all, quite the opposite, I think in the best interest of FuN, not myself. You wouldn't begin to understand how much I and other members have done in the past, and still do, to make FuN what it is today. I'm also sure that I enjoy the respect of several members, and they know that is mutual.
I'm all open for discussion, albeit it a more mature way than this post of Spankzor. If you don't agree with something I do or say, let me know and we can talk about it to prevent any harm from being done. Having said that, I stick by some principles, both personal as FuN's, so if that clashes, you may notice that I be very serious and you need to be careful about what you say.
I'll stick to this for now, I could type a whole lot more and maybe I will, but at a later time. I guess Spankzor won't be back to read this topic, I personally don't care, but hope that other FuN members may, if they feel this post was also aimed at them, change the way they think about their FuN membership and draw one or several conclusions from it.
