The Jersey Devil is BACK by popular demand!!!
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.

Heh! Welcome back, JD, and pleased I am to see you back from the void.
I'm certain that no-one intends to 'start crap' with you because this is a great place to be, we all ultimately fly the same (Tolkien) banner, and it's such a rotten shame if things get marred by infighting. I really do hope things will go smoothly from now on I am glad you're back |

Eh? Nice auspicious start there, jersey. Anyway, I hope we can ALL make a fresh start, and wipe the slates clean.

Now, how am I supposed to sneak up on people unawares, if you persist in ringing the doorbell first?!

Aftethought ...
SGH, you said before that JD had done a lot of work behind the scenes, and now you're saying that JD isn't just 'any member' and that 'his return could be such an asset to the board'. So ... how's about either you or he lifting the cover just for a moment so mere ordinary bods like me can know about all the good things he's done? I've got some vague idea it's in terms of technical help in running this board - would this be right? |

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...
