The Jersey Devil is BACK by popular demand!!!

jerseydevil · 07-29-2004, 04:52 PM

After having received numerous requests for me to come back, even from people who had publicly stated they would not be sorry to see me go, I have decided to return.

Now here is the way it is going to be, if people start crap with me – I will not refrain from speaking my mind. I will, as have always, stay within the rules of Entmoot. I however will not put up with the vindictive personal attacks directed at me, NJ or the US which are for the sole purpose of flame baiting me. I will not put up with people starting things and then reporting my posts and acting like the injured and innocent party.

I suggest if the administration cares about keeping Entmoot civil then they should make the effort to find out where the flaming originated instead of just going by hearsay and the particular posts which may have been reported. They should not assume that PMs that are reported have been sent in a vacuum with no reason behind it. I have a problem when staff members in high authority send PMs saying “I don’t care who started it.”, because that to me indicates they are not interested in the truth or solving the problem – they just want someone to blame and be the scapegoat. I am not the scapegoat – nor will I accept being the scapegoat any longer. SGH has repeatedly been supportive of me – not because we may talk – but because she actually knows what goes on in the threads, does the necessary research by taking the time to look at the past posts and communicating with ALL the parties involved. She does not give the cop out answer of “I don’t care who started it.” She does not delete posts or edit them without contacting the posters or leaving a tag.

I had all intentions of not coming back. It is only because of the numerous people, including the one person yesterday who does not want to be revealed and who used the “You are missing out on the Vbulletin 3” line along with numerous other comments in our hour long conversation, IMing, e-mailing and practically begging me to come back and telling me repeatedly how boring Entmoot has become.

To those who made the personal attacks, underhanded digs and unwarranted sarcastic comments – it is YOUR choice if you want things to be different at Entmoot.

Well considering that this is not just any member, and considering that his leaving was quite involved and his return could be such an asset to the board, I find it to be necessary and beneficial.

Welcome back JD.

Hanza · 07-29-2004, 05:21 PM

yay! welcome back JD! scared away by the new look yet?

Nerdanel · 07-29-2004, 05:38 PM

Welcome back, JD!

Elvengirl · 07-29-2004, 05:59 PM

Hey!
Welcome back JD !

So how do you like our new home?

***Fat middle*** · 07-30-2004, 07:27 AM

I didn't know you had left Entmoot (I suppose it was during my last absence...) but I was begining to wonder if you had been banned or something, because it seemed too long an absence for your usual standards

Anyway, welcome back

I hope it all goes better from now on.

BTW, you'll have already noticed that the old sarcastic rolleyes smily has been replaced by this one

. It seems more undetermined...

Falagar · 07-31-2004, 10:24 AM

Welcome back, JD! Nice to see you up and running again.

Giroth · 07-31-2004, 08:27 PM

Welcome back, JD...I baked you a pie, too..

*hands over freshly baked pie*

Sminty_Smeagol · 08-01-2004, 01:41 PM

I am loving this. Ha.

**Nurvingiel** · 08-01-2004, 04:37 PM

Lol, good times were had by all...

About the 4th territory, I think California, Oregon, and Washington should separate and join us. They should get the honour of being provinces though.

Why is it that us Canucks are always goodnaturedly ribbing JD? It's just good and jolly times...

When Ben deleted my post in the farenheit 9/11 thread for no reason and no explanation. It was about a month ago.

Sminty_Smeagol · 07-31-2004, 05:10 AM

After me, or before...

Aw. I didn't get any popular demand. I had one PM whilst away.

I just remembered this board and I was like "I think I'll bumble on over there". I miss the old look.

Fenir_LacDanan · 07-31-2004, 05:40 AM

Didn't know you were gone either. Then again, I have been away as well. The moot must be considerabley more dull when the occasional sword is not crossed.

Oh, and I like this new interface, its all pretty and such...

Artanis · 07-31-2004, 07:40 AM

Glad that you're back JD.
