I am leaving this message for every one on my friends list. It so that you will know I have no ill feelings towards any of the normal users of the website.
Below is a message I sent to Erric to explain my reasons for leaving.
Thankyou for your response to my post. I will try to explain why I feel I can not be a part of your website.
It is not to complicated to understand I hope.
The modinations post in my opinion was a farce and wasn’t thought out nor was it neccecary. While it was running as a post I left a message saying that the members should ask the person they were nominating if they were prepared to be a moderator.
This is because hmf in particular didn’t want to be one, put on the post that she didn’t want to be one, yet members still kept voting for her. She had to spell it out that she didn’t want to be a moderator again that she would not want the post.
I did not want the post and didn’t want people voting for me, so I asked that the members asked first if the person they were nominating was prepared to do the job.
It is also my oppinion that the now admins and new moderators new in advance that they had already been chosen and that they had already accepted.
There were a number of members that could see that this post was causing anger and resentment between and with each other, just to give you one example look at tap dancers reply. There were others like it but the reasons were different.
I have no interest in who was picked for these particular posts although every one of them is a very long term user.
I also think that you already know that the only moderators post I was intereted in was one that could delete the bad posts that were being put on the site at the week ends in particular. Again I would not have accepted the post if asked, I know that many members would be interested.
If you can or want to try to convince me that the whole thing was for the good of the website I would consider trying to help again.
I have though lost all faith in the admins and mods, hence my leaving.
You had the curtesy to answere my post, you deserve to have an answer.
