You are right about that HK. They gave this place the "Muppet" designation as a result of our banning TTK which then led to the hilarious
muppet avatar invasion. There is statement on the thread there that because it took so long to finally ban him that it
demonstrates how much more 'tolerent' they are than the other rep watch sites. Guess with that comment I will be 'watched' too should I decide to post there again. :roll:
daytona4me said:Well guys.. let me say this.. .
As much as we certainly feel a little vindicated with someone else seeing what we went through I will say that two wrongs dont make a right and no admin or staff member (or regular or vip or customer) should have to deal with the aftermath of banning TTK. I do not envy them and wish they did not have to go through it. I take things to personally... I find myself asking "why would someone want to threaten or feel they have to threaten me" As much as I want to say it didnt bother me, it did.
Banning TTK was only fuel added to the fire that people had to be angry with RWI.. it was not a fun time at all for us. I do not think RWG will go through the same thing we did,, and I hope they dont have to.
RWG has a friend here with RWI, we offered our assistance with anything they may need, even if it is reassurance that they made the right decision. The old politics between the forums is long gone,, others may have personal issues but as far as the forum goes, we are in good cooperation with RWG and happy to enjoy a new friendship.
As for what happened in the past,, like I said a long time ago.. that is all in the past and dont care to talk about it much... You guys go right ahead,, but I've said what I wanted to on the subject and now I move towards that free raffle and that sfso raffle that seems to be going well!

And followed it up with this:Jake48 said:daytona4me said:Look, there are many good people on RWG and their staff is top notch.
The actions of a couple people should not detour you from RWG. There is a lot of info there as there is here.
Please do not allow this to turn into a war between boards.. that is not at all what this should be.
This is the maturity that makes me feel welcome here. I agree, a few morons over at RWG won't keep me away, but honestly, you would be hard pressed to find some one over there say something nice about RWi with out immediately being labeled a "shill" or a "muppet" - sad but very true.
I believe the higher standard of excellence maintained here can and will outlast the child like behaviour of the few and yes, even over at RWG the light will come on.
No matter how much you know about watches, no matter how good the watches are that you sell, no matter how "clever" or "sharp witted" you are, there is never a reason to ever be down right mean, ugly, disrespectfully or intentionally nasty to another person.
RWI sets the bar high and I can't say enough of how well the mods and admin here have handled the actions of the few.
As it happened after RWG 1 - when RWI became the standard, RWI will transform again into the standard of quality and set the bar a another level higher regarding the discussion of our passion for watches.
Stay put and don't let the negative attitude of a few spoilers get in the way of having fun!
See you around as RWI moves to the next level. I look forward to sharing with you all about watches and anything else that comes to mind as you are all my friends here.
Thanks -

My first thought when I read over at RWG what had happened with TTK was:
"Ain't karma a b!tch!"
I am glad to see they took the appropriate actions and like RWI, they have raised the standard to one of civil and courteous discourse
