Okay.....I know many of us have has issue with SCWF in one way or another, but things here need to change. This is not a place to continue your bad blood, nor is it a place to name call. You don't like someone over there, I get it, but leave your bad attitude and bullshit at the door. We created this new home to get away from the things that were frustrating us, not to be continually reminded. I'm not looking to be an asshole here, but please respect this house as something new, something different. I have given everyone some time to get things off their chests, but now it's time to move on. So, no more negative references to SCWF, or their mods. If you have that big of a chip on your shoulder, go back there and let them know how you feel...Please don't continue the bad vibe here.
Thank you.

Agreed; it's just that this forum was started as a result of some bad blood on TOF and it's going to take a while for it to wear off. Please don't try to force things or the current euphoria could quickly dissipate and we don't want that to happen. Give it time and TIME will soon be forgotten

OK..... here is my take on the situation for what it's worth! I completely understand your position on this matter and respect it but you have to take into mind that those who were banned for nothing more then petty and bullshit reasons were LONG time members and most were prolific posters who contributed a lot to the SCWF. For some un-known reasons the MODs decided to make examples of these same folks and Ban them! It's going to take more then just a short period of time for these same people to get over it! Thats about all I have to say about it!

Big kudos and respect Tim, I concur entirely, and, without sounding ridiculously altruistic, I see no reason why there ultimately can't be some degree of coexistence and mutual respect. As a relative noob, I for one still have 'friends' there and, should my ban prove not to be upgraded to permanent, I will have no reservation in still visiting there on occasion in the future, even if not as vocally as before the schism. This fantastic, new and bravely 'open house' will undoubtedly remain my spiritual home from here on in but I have no desire to cut off my nose to spite my ugly face regarding my previous 'home'.
Don't go misreading this as anything other than the words of someone who really gets no kick from going through life carrying grudges. My biggest beef post ban was over one incident and with one person, no more no less. I can't, and won't, attempt to wipe from my life something that was generally pretty cool for me just to suit others expectations, even though there are elements that do get my gruntles well and truly dissed, I mightn't dig it but hey, them's the rules. I can only be true to myself.
I know there are more than a few of you here with issues at the SCWF of serious personal significance and I empathise and respect those reasons in their totality, and will continue to do so. As I stated several days ago however, from my perspective, life is a delicate, complex and often times grey zone, black and white simply doesn't cut it for me in this kind of situation, for me to pretend otherwise is bullshit.
I do hope you all can understand my position, if not, cool, but I'm not going to play any duplicitous, two-faced games and will not be drawn into vowing some type of absolute 'forum allegience' . . . I have mates in radically divergent areas of real life, from the near criminal to the legal and medical fraternity, [sheesh, my ex is a barrister, go figure] and all points in between, I have never played them off against each other and won't be starting now.
Thanks for your time and consideration, it won't be mentioned by me again, just thought you should all know my stance.

Agree with Timewatcher and Pete. Btw, we aren't able to go back there to let them know how we feel. We are banned and if we weren't yet.. we would be after telling how we feel about them.

Yeah it's going to be interesting come morning to see if we are permanently banned or not..........especially in knowing that the MODs from there have been reading every single word that we have written about them here!

I agree with you Tim but I feel it will take a little more time for some of the guys here to move on . Some of the stuff that went on over at SCWF left a really bad taste in my mouth and I have been deeply upset by it, I could bang on and on about it and rake over the coals but to be honest I'm done with it, this place can be a great forum , you're a good bunch of guys and I will be here everyday [ got three new watches to show you later nodding-yes-by-a-very-happy-smiley-emoticon three ] but I will also still post at SCWF, I have many good friends there and I still love the place. Jim I know some of you have been wronged but life is short, don't waste your time and energy on negative stuff.I wonder what message is sent out to new members and guests when they come here and see it

Shocked and offended my dear sir by your foul F$#ing language! And from a moderator no less! I must protest! My virgin ears are burning and my mortal soul is in peril! Okay, okay...I'm just trying to up my post count so I can get rid of the can't tell time label...

A fine line exists, IMHO, between "getting over it" and "beating a dead horse". I hope most of us here know where that line exists. (And when all else fails, take your Fukitol pills. animated-laughing-smiley-emoticon) Remember, when you die, your membership in any forum will likely not be carved on your tombstone.

Please don't try to force things or the current euphoria could quickly dissipate and we don't want that to happen. Give it time and TIME will soon be forgotten I am making a simple request, nothing more. And this forum did not start as a result of bad blood over there, I had spoken with Spencer some time ago about possibly starting something. The recent events certainly kickstarted things, no doubt, but that was not the reason.

Thats about all I have to say about it! Rene, you're talking like I don't understand your plight. Perhaps you need to go back and read that SCWF thread again, I was one of the main targets, I certainly do understand. That being said, I am not going to allow my feelings to live on in this new home we've created. Now mentioning the ban, speaking of the ban, being frustrated with the ban is one thing, I am talking about the petty name calling and such...it's just not really necessary IMO.
