Roberts...

First of all this forum is supposed to be about planes! ::)

Secondly, this obsession with guns cannot be healthy, even for a moderator.  I would suggest Ritalin. ;D

I was a little suspicous of Fly_Girl myself.
After a while, I looked at the picture a little more closely, and I noticed how big... well, you get the point.

Rollerball did not leave because Fli-Girl was a conman. He left because mods treated him like crap, he was mistreated by the ones he looked upon as friends, not because of some dumb internet troll.
He was a renowned user who actually KNOWS something here, and contributes on a regular basis.

I wold not call that "be on top of things".
He called the scam and you were on him like vultures, but you now say you actually knew he was right?

Interesting, though abit contradicting I must say, since it was a moderator who "slated" him the worst.

More cooks means a worse soup...old swedish saying.

Good night all.

Nexus,

Actually...... we still do not know all of the details and truth.  Likely we will never know.  Knowing is a difficult thing.  Suspecting is very easy.

But it was only shortly before the "wildfire" that we had finally amassed enough information and evidence that we were certain enough to take really firm action.

Some concrete and highly "to the point" action was taken directly and privately with Fli-Girl immediately before this unfortunate siutiation went "bad" out on the public forum.

This is all that I will say on this because it is all that I feel is appropriate.  I am sorry that you feel that this was not handled in the manner you might wish.  Maybe you should PM Pete about it.


best,

...................john

You protected the wrong guy.
You protected the scammer to the last minute, but did not hestitate to bash Rollerball.

Is that what you get when being honest and straightforward  ???
Because that's what happened here. Roller said what most of you suspected, you cannot deny that.
But what did he get for that?
He got whipped, that's what happened...and thats's why I am sad and upset.

Hey Nexus, I think it's time to let it drop...  I understand that you're upset about what happened and I agree that losing Roger and Stormtropper is bad, but it is over and time to move on.  Hopefully, those members will choose to return, but I don't think that arguing back and forth like this is really good for anyone.  Please rest assured that every mod on this board is playing the situation over and over in his head to see what their part in this was and learning from it to ensure it doesn't happen again.
