I hope they see your intent, and you remain a moderator. It's the fair thing to do. Those who don't see your point of view just aren't looking past their own. I'm totally against piracy, and what you asked for was not in any way an attempt at piracy, which anyone can see after reading your posts on the matter. --- In God we trust! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[email protected]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 06, 2009 10:56 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] My Apologies and Explanation
Hi Darren, And what exactly do you consider saving face in this case? I've already done the damage, according to you and others my reputation as a moderator is shot, and I'm a hypocrite, etc. I've explained my intent, my point of view, and many of you don't agree with it. For that reason we will simply have to agree to disagree. It will do neither you or I any good to argue the point on list any further. You've made your opinion known and so have I. Is it possible to offer a truce, and move on? This I will say. I will shortly be e-mailing Kevin and Raul asking them for their decision regarding my moderator status. If they say I should resign I will do so willingly. If they want to suspend me from the list for x days or months I'll have to live with that decision. If they decide this is an unfortunate accident and do nothing so be it. I'll put myself at their decision and mercy considering this matter.
