Each forum staff acts in the best interest of their community as they see it... a lot of it is judgment calls.... what is true for one forum may not be true for all of them...

As one of the newest members of the staff, I can tell you honestly that the staff of RWI cares deeply for each of the members of the community... and that extends to the other fora also due to the cross-membership... No one is perfect... but they do act in your best interests as best as they can....

Dave, you know that his reputation grew over time and that the spat with TTK was a LARGE part of it. The other thing that happened with Anubis was the straw that broke the camels back, but to say it had "nothing to do with it" is a vacuous comment.

My point was that the chances of a dealer getting dropped from RG is very low. Navigator is the only one that I have seen lately and that took months of members who could not reach him or get their watches back. They HAD to do something. Otherwise, they are pretty aggressive at defending dealers. Since it is widely known that RG was a "business venture", I am not suprised. Dealers pay money. Members do not (except for $25). Dealers win.

some RWG members had mentioned hopes of TTK returning once his attitude cools down and apologizes.

I honestly think if that happens, they'd return themselves into the same abusive cycle again :)

It's easy to be remorseful after the fact.

An Apology from TTK? When Pigs fly.

LOL,nothing to do with it...

Anubis banned him for the constant jabs at him and his name,Sylar sent me a pm asking what happened as he was not around,he brought yahoo back on the condition he leave Anubis alone,as soon as he came back he started right at it again.

He then made threats,if banned again, to take the admin to court to rat out all of us in the online rep buying game,and to 'testify as a buyer' etc....,that was the end of him....

Nothing to do with TTK,Sylar and Yahoo had each others phone numbers and chatted alot,friends actually....till the threats.... :|

Anyway,means nothing as to the current discussion....

In regards to TTK banned from RWG, I feel that because of his health issues and other personal quarks it would be inevitable anyway. I wish for no one to be sick and I sincerely hope he gets well soon.

In regards to others being banned, I for one am getting tired of some of this cross forum bashing. News is old. Opinions have been voice and advertised (to death). I suggest we move on and not hold on to old animosities. How about them watches! :D

I think it is more commonly known as Battered Woman Syndrome.

Divorcenet.com said:
To understand battered woman's syndrome, one must first understand how someone becomes a "battered woman". According to Dr. Lenore E. Walker, the nation's most prominent expert on battered women, a woman must experience at least two complete battering cycles before she can be labeled a "battered woman". The cycle has three distinct phases. First is the tension-building phase, followed by the explosion or acute battering incident, culminating in a calm, loving respite - often referred to as the honeymoon phase. Walker, L., The Battered Woman (1979).

It is also important to understand why battered women stay in abusive relationships. The Court in People v. Aris, 215 Cal App 3d 1194, 264 Cal Rptr 167, 178 (1989) stated that "battered women tend to stay in abusive relationships for a number of reasons." Among those reasons: women are still positively reinforced during the honeymoon phase; women tend to be the peacekeepers in relationships - the ones responsible for making the marriage work; adverse economic consequences; it is more dangerous to leave than to stay; prior threats by batterer to kill self, or children; or to abscond with children; lost self-esteem; and no psychological energy to leave - resulting in a learned helplessness or psychological paralysis.

"Battered woman syndrome describes a pattern of psychological and behavioral symptoms found in women living in battering relationships." People v. Romero, 13 Cal Rptr 2d 332, 336 (Cal App 2d Dist. 1992); See Walker, L., The Battered Woman Syndrome (1984) p. 95-97. There are four general characteristics of the syndrome:

1. The woman believes that the violence was her fault.
2. The woman has an inability to place the responsibility for the violence elsewhere.
3. The woman fears for her life and/or her children's lives.
4. The woman has an irrational belief that the abuser is omnipresent and omniscient.

"Battered woman's syndrome is best understood as a subgroup of what the American Psychological Association defines as Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, rather than as a form of mental illness." IX New York Law School Journal of Human Rights "You've Come a Long Way, Baby: The Battered Woman's Syndrome Revisited" at 117-118; Walker, L., Terrifying Love: Why Battered Women Kill and How Society Responds (1989) at 48.

I was really upset when I saw the statistics on how many battered women there were in the US. To think all these years I've been eating them plain.

@brt that was funny. With regards to holding grudges, man I really don't care about the past not to mention I have pretty thick skin. I wish all the forums participated in more cross forum banter.

he's a jerkoff and I told him so. Banning him from the forums will put a dent in his sales.
