I agree with all those sentiments
Conradino was the first to welcome me and pennywise stayed with my first journal from start to finish, with heaps of encouragement and help and I appreciate it so much.
I feel a bit hurt that an inference was made to me being a teachers pet to the mods (among other things). They were hurtful things to imply, and unfounded. I have never reported a post of yours Preston, man. If anything I’m a pain in the arse to the mods because I’m sometimes on their back to deliver some of the things that were promised during the change over. So yes, I have some communication with the mods, possibly more than most - but I’m
nobody’s pet, and my comms with them are nearly always in the service of making things better for the
membership, us. I desperately wanted to walk away and not respond to the inferred slur, but it’s so far from true, and hurtful, that I had to answer it more directly, even if it did come at me kind of sideways.
We obviously feel very much the same way about the forum and the friends were making here so Preston, if you have something to take up with me in the future (or with any member perhaps) can you maybe come a bit more directly at it? Like, just ask me.
