Un-pinning the topic because I'm pretty sure the whole world has heard about what happened, not to mention the thread has been horribly derailed /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

Tomorrow is caturday if you guys wanna celebrate /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

so, if shiz hasn't changed his email and/or his im, etc., then can't someone just email, im, etc. him and tell him to come back, that it was just a terrible april fools joke gone worse made by tigereye?

He is aware. It's just one of the things that drove him over. Its not really BV or TE I think its more the fact that they did something so incredibly out of character and so obviously wrong and then to have a majority of the community support it, is what scares many of us, I know it did me.

I lol'd at the whole thing. Anyone who doesn't know tigereye enough to notice the difference in posts = fail. I knew something had to be up.

I was just getting ready for a light ban once in a while. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

It scared me too.

...but then I looked at the many other examples around us every day in communities much larger than Allegiance. That scared me more.

Oh I know, not really complaining, just saying it really jolted me back to reality. Was definitely an eye opener into how some people think and how they really don't care about what happens to some especially when the pitchforks and torces are tossed out there, they just pick them up and run with it.

I think this can just as easily be reversed. Stackers don't care about the people that leave because of the stacking. So why should the people that hate stacking care when those that support the option to stack leave?

Though I think the positions spoken about went too far it's interesting that there are really two extremes. One that stacking is prevelant and the other where it's nonexistent. I think most would agree the latter is preferable and that a minority prefer the option for the former (note OPTION). The people that quit because of stacking are usually not as vocal but those that support the option to stack are very vocal. Any type of correction to the no-stacking policy becomes a huge debate and cries of foul but the status quo is just fine and those that quit as a result are called whiners. To be fair I'd say one has to consider both the same. People just have different opinions and should be respected and a compromise reached. The status quo that we're living in is not a compromise.

If you still think any of the drama, which I don't want to stir up again, was about stacking . . . . then just WOW! Like really wow!

Like totally missed the joke!
