Thanks everyone.
I thought long and hard about what to post. I will admit there are some very hard feelings on my part. But I choose not to vent them pubically.
I received a private message though from a member accusing the present moderators of voting me out.
That is not true. What I said was the administration voted me out. The administrators are the owner, Rob E. Kotch. and Pecker. According to the e-mail I received from one of the assistants, all three were in agreement.
My personal belief is that I wanted to cross all i's and dot all t's in making decisions and I questioned to many things. That was alluded to in my message, though not in those words.
I am only human though. I have my breaking point as well. The one person who I should have heard this from and not from Kotch or Pecker has yet to send me any acknowledgment that I served as a mod, thanking me for serving. Nothing, absolutely nothing from Rob E. I am very disappointed in that he didn't send this to me personally instead letting one of his administrative assistants to handle.
I hate to see a lot of innocent people blamed for what happened.
I had to be true to my convictions. We post when members are banned. When moderators are as one poster said voted of the island, that should be a matter of public record as well. It makes sense.
Coming clean is difficult though. Once we start unraveling the cord.....
I don't mind sharing my letter of dismissal though I don't want to be the second moderator banned so I will decline to do so. if they give permission or if they wish to publish its contents as long as the entire contents are printed, that is fine with me. It makes it very transparent.
Two avoid speculation as far as I know only three people have in the history of this site been asked to step down as a moderator. Everyone one else who left the mod board did so of their own decision.
One of those mods voted off the island had to have much more severe action taken, much more severe and it happened a long time ago. Pecker and Rob E are the only ones who know about that situation.
Only Pecker on the active board goes back as far as I did.
I am very proud to have served you. I can leave with a clean conscience. You all can surmise as well as me. You may read this and draw different conclusions. That is fine as well.
So out of all the mods that have served according to this administration I rank in the bottom three as far as my official record shows. What other conclusion can I reach? Only three mods voted off the island. Speaks very poorly of me. I really don't believe Pecker and Kotch feel that way, but that is how it is coming out on paper.
Again, I couldn't let the mods take the heat for something they had no part in. So there was no much left to do but make it clear as both Kotch and Pecker wrote extremely nice things on the mod board to the board and to me. Words of praise I haven't heard given to most mods leaving.
If you are confused. Join the party. You can't be more confused than me.
In the end, it is you the members that I felt that I served. To that end, I felt I served you well from the beginning to the end.
I am proud of my record. I always will be. If I was treated wrongly, it will sooner or later surface. It always does. There are no free rides for our actions good or bad.
I was really looking forward getting back into the groove. My new computer had to have new soft ware and all the trial ware taken off.
This computer crashes like crazy especially when I first click on a site. most often it takes several tries and then it will crash and don't think about checking something else out on this computer. That hindered by visits here severely. It was almost impossible for me to research anything.
I have had to type on word pad and then hope I can get it to paste before the computer crashed again. This computer has been to say the least hell.
You may all wish you hadn't asked me to stay now that I will have something new to type on sometime tomorrow, whenever the store calls.
It's paid for they had better call!!!!!
After severe health problems from November until March I was and am on the upswing. I am back to my routine before last November. I plan on living until 90 at least!!!
Again, thanks for all the friendships that I gained while being a mod and before that.
Advice: When someone who looks like Microsoft comes on the screen and says to turn off your virus protection for five minutes while some "updates" are done. Don't. That was the beginning of the end of this computer.
i've written way too much, but hey it is my Swan Song so if there are two many stanzas well I won't be on the mod stage much longer.
Love you all,
Freddie
