Seriously, why does it bother you so much what goes on here? You seem to be taking this whole thing very personal.
Does it hurt your feelings that Colin left? You were surely one of the ones on the gradeschool bandwagon that is the Rants, bitching and moaning about broken rules.
Doesn't bother me a bit. As stated earlier, I'm here strictly for the shits and giggles factor.

Absolutely agree with you on that. Maybe Colin can follow them better on this site.
MidWesty wrote:What took place over on thesamba is done, has been for a few weeks now. I believe the reason your post/link was deleted/edited here was the admins trying to avoid this becoming a cesspool of toilet humor. I can understand that. What Colin was doing on thesamba, from what I could tell, was throwing in some daily observations sprinkled throughout his technical stuff.
If you go back and re-read his post, it is clearly political and there is a forum for that which scardycat Colin is afraid to go into. So, what does he do? Breaks the rules and posts it in the BWF where it is deleted. So, what does he do? Breaks the rules and re-posts it in the BWF VERBATIM (which tells me that he needs to muse and write out every single post he makes in Word and then copy/paste it into his post - i.e. can't think on his feet).

Nor does Ev.
MidWesty wrote:No, I don't know Colin nor can I say that I'll ever meet him. Believe it or not, I don't even like Kool Aid. I can see why he left thesamba though. Mob mentality. I do not expect you to see that or understand it though. You see what you see he sees what he sees, I see what I see, you get the idea. Nothing is going to change that. It's in our programming.
Yes, I do understand that completely.

Maybe one day I will, or maybe I won't. We'll just have to see.
MidWesty wrote:Mr. Breeze didn't lose his mod job over this, everyone in the rants had a few days of good laughs. All's well that ends well. I'm sure your corresponding with someone via email or PM over at thesamba about all the "trouble" your causing over at that stinkfoot forum. Probably getting a real kick out of it I'd say. If your only here to point out the blatant hyprocrisy of the site, well I say good job man. ***hands over a cookie*** So be it.
Nope, can't say I am, and thanks for the cookie, hope its peanut butter.
MidWesty wrote:You say that there are names being besmirched and mods being badmouthed. How come they are not over here defending themselves? Or are they?
I don't think that would be very ethical of them to do such a thing. And I have personally met the mods/admins that are in question and in my judgement, they would never do such a thing.
MidWesty wrote:Again, why does all this touch such a nerve with you?
God's honest truth? Well, you see, once upon a time, there was this guy over at the samba BWF that felt the need to incessantly post his musings, observations and general outlook in life as well as throw in some technical writings about running on 3 cylinders. Well, the admins/mods there thought instead of having such an incessant number of Itinerant threads, they'd make a sticky about it. Well, this guy then threw a temper tantrum that would piss off a teething 2 year old, so the admins/mods let it continue to the point where this guy had to go and push the envelope too far, threw another temper tantrum and when the admins/mods didn't relent this time, he took his ball and started his own site.
Guess what. I'm here to be the very same thorn that this guy was there.
I mean really, there's 76 Itinerant threads over there, yes,
76. This guy needs to deflate his ego a bit and come back to earth one of these days.
Hope this answers all of your questions.
We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.
