I'll tell you what Robbie, when all is truly said and done, people seem to forget that just because someone is famous it doesn't make them less of a
person.
We all have other interests in life other than our "jobs" ... at least I like to think most people do. It's only normal that we would wish to share
those interests with others.
What I truly find amazing is that you can have Al Gore out there trying to introduce people to "Global Climate Change" ... but there's not a whole
lot of people saying that he's abusing his "celebrity" by doing so. It doesn't matter which side of the issue you take, that IS what he is doing
...
Yet here you are, trying to introduce more people to what YOU are interested in, and you are condemned for it.
I think the unfortunate problem here is more the topic rather than the actual "agenda" and that is just to bad. People should take the time to
examine what's out there for themselves AND THEN decide whether they wish to pursue it further.
I for one am very pleased that you are here and remaining passionate to what you have set out to do. If there were more such people in the world, I'm
certain a lot more problems would be solved and a lot more things would be discovered.
Keep up what you're doing, you're not forcing anyone to come here who doesn't want to ... yet people seem to be acting like you are ...

I agree with everything WUK said. I have not been using the chat long but everytime I try I have to attempt login about 10 times because I keep getting a unknown random error.. it gets really frustrating but at the same time.. once you are in the new software is nice.. so yeah... Thanks for the chat but can we get the login fixed?

Amen, wuky.
I'm not sure where this us -vs- them mentality comes from. The mods herein are, for the most part, impecible in their restraint. If anything, they are less active then they should be at times. Err on the side of restraint, I suppose. Certainly, the rest of the heirarchy of ATS are conspicuous by their absence in many cases, though I'm sure they are around in the background...backstage if you will.
I was u2u'd by another member who attacked me and called me several names, posted out and out lies quoting things I supposedly said that I had not said, anyway I complained. The member I complained about u2u'd me to tell me that a moderator--the one who closed the thread I presume after my complaint--- applauded him for the attack he made on me. I would think moderators would be required to be nuetral, but of course I found out awhile back that is not the case. Anyway just wanted to say, if you wonder why more people aren't joining in with the discussions it's because if you don't have the mindset that the majority of posters AND moderators share, you're doomed. Countless people know exactly what I mean.

I forwarded the u2u w/ as many details as I could to two moderators whom I was told, by another member, would look at it impartially. I noticed both of those mods were not online so I guess I just await until they log in and have time to review it. I do not think I was being overly sensitive in this case, but I had complained a couple of times during the attack from the other member, but he was able to continue it for quite some time.

The issue was brought up and answered. No need for members to keep posting in this thread how much they like someone and how welcomed they are here.
If allowed we'd have hundreds of posts in there of people simply syaing "we like you, we want you here, etc"
It was simply time to move along.
Thats all.

They are not true...
I am the other member and obviously mods can check my messages/u2u's and i did not attack this person.
This person posted some of the most hate-filled and disgusting things i have seen on these boards ever.
The thread in question was closed...although myself and others were continuing to have a rational discussion, Bombeni could not keep her hate filled vitriol to herself and the thread was subsequently closed.
Which is a shame because the rest of us on the thread were actually getting somewhere and begginig to understand each other points.
As i said in the thread, the motto of the site is "Deny ignorance" not allow it to flourish.
thanks, Blup.

I simply await a review of the situation; I hope an impartial look at it will be made, to see if I did the things this member STILL says I did. I posted my moral opinions and views of the subject, and attempted for hours to get blupblup to discuss in a civil manner, to no avail.
I also hope to know if it is true that a moderator applauded him for the posts he made.
Thank you.

NO, the redneck posted moral views and opinions.... you posted hate-filled, abhorrent rubbish.
You could have said what he did, i find it repulsive but i respect everones right to their own choices and to live their own lives.
You did not, you posted bigoted views and made disgusting allegations and totally unfounded ones at that.
Also, stop u2u'ing me please.
I want no contact from you, thanks.

Moderator, admin, someone please look at this. Again, this member has is posting things in an attempt to make me look bad. He just said to stop u2uing him. I assume mods can look at our u2u's. HE is the one who u2u'd first, all I did was send civil replies to his 3 messages to ME.
