I've had a pleasant 4th of July. Met with friends, met with my sister who just returned from Oxford, for a time, enjoyed some massive conversation with her, enjoyed conversation with other very intelligent persons as well, got to watch the first two episodes of the second season of West Wing . . . it's been a very pleasant time . Ah yes, heard an excellent sermon as well. This post would probably belong in the "happy thread", if there weren't a thread particularly made for this day. Ah yes, I did some very enjoyable writing too, and took a day off school. This post of course relates not very well to anyone but myself :P.

JD can't handle that many people don't agree with his opinions and beliefs so he quits the forums and you want to blame anyone but JD for his decision. Sorry to disapoint you SGH.....but there was not great conspiracy to get rid of JD ........ I doubt anyone had anything personal against him..... the simple fact is that he couldn't handle the atmosphere here and he quit. He wasn't universally loved and respected.......he seems to have gotten over the fact and moved on. Good for him. |

As for some great conspiracy to get him to leave, who knows? But from the evidence that existed in posts, PMs and some general conversation that took place in the moderator forum, it certianly seemed as though a conspiracy was a possibility. For no one having anything personal against him, he certianly bore the brunt of some personal attacks like being called mentally ill, and told to get a life and a job. As for being able to handle the atmosphere here, he handled it for nearly three years, but there came a time when enough was enough.

Hope y'all had a happy 4th of July.
It's a shame to see that JD has taken off. But I find it weird that other people are being blamed for it. You reap what you sow. |

Oh shush about JD all ready. He left, and that's all there is to it. If there were a bunch of people trying to get rid of him: Fine, he's gone. If not, then he's another person who's left.
I think he's a great guy, but if you're honestly sorry that he's gone, IM him about it, don't post on a forum that he doesn't come to any more. And Happy Fourth . EDIT: Oh and before anyone goes and jumps on me: I think JD is a GREAT guy. I talk to him quite a bit over AIM. But when you make friends over the net you have to get used to them coming and going. The fact that JD left the moot is nothing huge, I hardly posted with him, and I still talk to him over AIM so it doesn't hurt me much. Last edited by Tessar : 07-06-2004 at 12:33 PM. |

OK, since it's up, here's my two cents.
Quote:
My experience of JD was that it was impossible to have a constructive discussion with him. His response to disagreement was invariably a blend of distortion, posturing and self-righteousness. Frequently, I have experienced positive, interesting discussions being totally ruined by his interventions. Latterly, I've tended to ignore threads where he was active. Maybe others felt the same way. Like I said, you reap what you sow. |

In other news: The fourth was awesome. I had to work all day, but that wasn't so bad, even though I felt bad because someone dumped a batch of unweaned kittens at our door (I work at a petstore) and I dont think they're going to make it. Fireworks, whee!
