Like a Protoss Dragoon

Post by woodchip »

I am returned. Anyway, my farewell topic worked as intended and brought a robust discussion to the board as to whom and how moderators are chosen. I tip my hat in respect to Bee for stepping down in consideration of the greater good and not hanging on due to ego or pique. To all who replied to the topic and those who pm'd me, thank you for the replies.

I think at this point we need to have a robust discussion about how there was already a robust discussion going before you got involved.

you mean you didnt just say. HEY!!! Who can we pick that would piss off a select group of people on the E+C forum :P

IMHO Wood, your farewell thread was very unfair to Bee. you took your ball and went home. seems to me thats the same way .com was started.


welcome back though

I in reality, went nowhere and I did not take the ball as it was not mine to take. I did throw the meat covered ball into the ravening pack of posters and watched as the fur flew. :P Bee is a big girl and is quite capable of handling unfairness all on her own.

I stand by my comment. I felt the uproar was needless and then I felt like Bee walked into a no win trap

In this thread, woodchip displays his unwarranted self-importance.

[quote="Bet51987"

One of the reasons you were able to come back with dignity instead of crawling back on all fours was because I chose it to happen that way. I resigned because I still live by those principles my father gave me so don't shove that gift in my face by riding in here on a high horse pretending to be a champion.[/quote]

And just what makes you think I would ever crawl on all fours to come back? So much for trying to be respectful to you.

So the secret to having robust discussions is woodchip's absence? ;)

UHM next time you say your Absent you might wish to hide your status. we all knew you were still here, remember this?

The Irony is, that while you may have achieved the results you wanted by Bee stepping down she's the one that came out of this looking good. She took a stand, and stood by her convictions after being set up even knowing the backlash that could come of it. and then was Gracious in her handling of it. she didn't throw the tantrum and run off to her room to sulk because she didn't like the decision that was made. the same cannot be said for a couple of this forums members

I did log in to respond to pm's. By "leaving" intent was not to post. You too can take the tunnel vision blinders off. :wink:

She looked good until she made her response to me in this topic. Now she shows herself to be the denigrating, harping Bee we all know and love.

Try not to sprain something while patting yourself on the back woody.

But if you did, I'm sure there's a nurse or two out there that would be quite willing to put you through some painful rehabilitation.

I think Foils a good choice, but come to think of it, I can't name any regular that I would think is a bad choice. We are a small group that have been around for a long time. So in that sense, I think all of this hoopla is a bit like mustard in a pocket watch.
