x10 Cut the crap and move on. I have a lot of respect for some of the guys on all the forums. Some not so much but we agree to disagree and thats o.k. Not everyone can like you. Are there people I miss yes are there people I don't you bet. But I wouldn't want to be any other place thats for sure.

I'm just laughing at observations......but if you wanna wield your Norse god thunder hammer...and it makes you feel better to tell me that I can't park my car there....and you wanna issue me a ticket......knock yourself out......!

Incidentally.....I don't even know you....who are you....?.....and given that I don't know you.....I don't have to justify anything to you.....!

Neil,

I am curious to know if you would like to justify the value of this post? If not, I am going to delete it.

LOL, if you're going to start deleting posts with no value, you'd better warm up your delete button finger! :wink: That describes a lot of posts in Flame-Free, General Rep Discussion and other areas. :lol:

There is a difference. The way I see it, the only purpose for this post is to stir up the exact type of drama that is mentioned in this very thread. Posting it was completely unnecessary and uncalled for. I, for one, am tired of it, as are many of our members.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I doubt it.

I'm sorry, but what am I missing here? How does 3 smiley faces stir up drama?

Are there personal things going on behind the seens or is it that much different at RWG or Repgeek?

I'm not sure, but I think RWI's pro-American posture riles some people. I am not saying that is the case with either gentlemen, or Enzo, though. I think the Tim situation is much more troubling, and has put off some people, and I wish that weren't the case. But it's the truth, I feel.

Still, I have no special opinion on what happened. I won't stop posting here, either.

glad to hear that vb, we need you. :p .... what we get the hanky's out now cause we're snubbed by someone who wants to

leave without saying why or goodbye?... oh well that's life...people can come and go as they choose and they owe me

nuttin and I hold no grudges...but having said that I do think it inconsiderate of a member to pull the plug on his section and

it really shows what he thinks of the members...and I would expect a grandiloquent explanation highlighting his profound

reasons for leaving :roll: ...but at the same time if any comes back, then welcome...and we plug along and do what we

do best. :D

Well said cybee. Am not leaving too.

I am glad to hear that...takashi is not only knowledgable but a gentleman too.

(Hey takashi I just removed a datewheel from a DG 3804 CN movement. Stock date wheel was too thin, had to put the wider one on my GMT...I'm taking a few pics to post later) oh sorry didn't mean to talk watches. Carry on. :D

I dont agree that RWI has such a "Pro-American Posture". Someone wanted to use this as a reason not to like RWI and it has floated around a long time. We have many many non American and non North American members. We also had a several non american members who made some pretty shitty comments and the american members responded... ?? Seems that this would happen on any forum.

I dont like drama, those who do like the drama like to stick around and create more. This is hurting Higgy & My efforts to move this forum forward. We have some members pitch a fit over the selection of Klink becoming a moderator, and for those who cannot stand to be on the same forum with him I've simply asked for them to move on. That is fine and I can respect that.

I am happy that bytor has gained a section and has become a moderator on RWG. That is fantastic and I'm really happy for him and plan to visit as I consider us friends.

Let me wrap this up by saying that Higgy and I have worked really hard to end the stupid politics, leave old bones buried, and only move forward... DONT LOOK BACK! But we have a couple members digging in their heels and preventing us from moving forward. This is disrespectful to Higgy and I and not fair to our members.

Do what you will, I hope that we can find a way to put the past behind us. I've only asked for people to help me,, and so far, we have found those who do not want to help. Higgy and I will continue to give our 200% with or without some of these members.

(my comments are about this overall situation, not by-tor, we have have had pm communication which is private)

Wasn't there a post a while back, can't remember who it was now, but I think it was either By-Tor or Pugwash, saying due to server configurations they would no longer be able to view the site in a few months? Maybe this is what has happened, he is unable to log on as the website 'no longer exists' to his system?

I want to clarify my previous post.
Most of the drama I was talking about is created by the way the Admin/mod team handle things.
I genuinly think that members should have the right to think and post whatever they want.
Its when the admin team starting deleting editing post etc we get problems.

And then the admin members doing that gets kicked out only to be back in a couple of days later, its a comedy.

Also the whole thing about the owner dissapearing with the members money isnt getting things better.

Just my 2 cents of the situation.

@max....I couldn't have summarised it better....they wanna kick me off for slow delivery...which I always tell people about.....but when it comes to their own dirty washing...they bury their head in the sand.......and don't even dare ask them about the kickbacks they get....which I refused to particpate in.....!

As for Mr DeWitt.....he's either got another pearl necklace......or somebody's dick is sore.....he's harder to kill than Rasputin....he's definitely got his lips fastened round somebody's tadger......!
