yeah Riley, you'd better stick around or I'm gonna hunt you down, and... mess up your fancy banker's office... or something.

Shane's not a bad guy.. i'm not actually sure what his position was on the Knight situation.
basically, quite a few posters from that other board would be welcome here, i'm sure we can all admit. too bad its so split right now.
plus, i think its incontestable that these boards are set up much nicer, so this one has that going for it as well.

Hey I got the invite here, so i thought I should at least say hi. Didn't want to be a creepy lurker. Just wanted to say that after I found out the Knight thing was a joke, i pronounced that he shouldn't be banned. Yes I did make a few comments that I thought the whole idea that it's to cliquey, and their are to many snobs or what not is ridiculous. I don't see why some of you have taken offensive comments from a few select posters to be a reason to take off altogether, there are a lot of good heads around, and I think your hurting yourselfs and some of the good people you might not know well or the odd bunch you might think are snobs. I realise some of you haven't been around long and might feel a bit on the fringes with some posters socially, but i've been there 3 1/2 years at least and still wonder what my place is a RS.com, but then i realise it's just my perception trying messing with me. This is my own unique perception of things, and i'm sure you all have your own too. I've got nothing but good impressions from most of you and I really don't see why people can't get along. I personally think that people should take a crack at just hanging around. You don't have to like everyone, but you can at least be civil, we're all adult right? I swear i'm not an asshole, a moron yes sometimes, but i'm not an asshole.

Absolutely, I like a lot of the folks over there, even if I don't know 'em too well. And, if they're good in Riley's book, they're good in mine. Hopefully some of those folks end up over here, and we can keep all "issues" to a minimum.
And actually, when I think of it, Shane really didn't have a strange stance at all. I just don't think he knew Knight and was having the same reaction that most of those guys had at first. Which, really, is understandable. I think the whole thing escalated way too quickly before it could be quietly and easily resolved.
That said, JACkory's post was utter horseshit.

agreed, but i still hope that this board becomes the main one, instead of that other one.

shane, we're a tight knit group..nobody is going to deny that. many of us have met in person, and i'm actually now engaged to one of the posters (gr8one232). we talked on RS for over a year, met up at a pearl jam concert, and the rest is history ;D anyhow, i think we are taking this all so personally because our friendships are so strong, and we do stick up for each other. i can talk to these people about things i would never dream of talking about to my "real life" friends. with that said, yes, this whole situation did get out of hand. and i think that we all should put it behind us, and just try to get along. i'm sure that everybody has something to offer, and we can make some more great friendships if we allow ourselves to cross to the "other side".

Shane, i think what irked some people (like me) about your posts were the early ones. I guess I figured that since you posted occasionally on the Advice Lounge that you knew knight a little bit, and knew that he was joking. the guy jokes about everything...
Anyway, i'm sure there are a lot of great posters who are gonna stay over there who i'd like to talk to (like maarts, for example), but i also know that there are a whole ass load of ultra-serious assholes who most of us have no interest in talking to now.
we've moved here.. no big deal. now there'll be less friction and drama (and we won't have to read any Chrisfan posts). this, to me, is the best solution.

I only posted for a short period and once every 5 blue moons at the advice lounge. So I didn't know Knight well enough to not think "oh hey look at this dummy, didn't know they could get his ISP."
It's my electric shock hampster reaction from dealing with so many trolls, spam, and bombers over the years.
So it's a misunderstanding, and I hope Knight doesn't think i'm a jerkoff.

Thanks for the encouraging words gang. I'd prefer to be offering solutions or ways to mend some of this rather than just feeling like I'm fence sitting, but I'm just not sure where to start or how to help fix things.
Cool post btw Slick.
