Congrats for complaining about your issue in a way different thread.
I can assure you though, that the reasons stated by Qbix are the real reason. There was never a hidden agenda. Without that thread we have had less drama. And no drama no cry

Thank you. Not every day one sees a Mod stoop down to borderline personal attacks.

Original poster mentioned leaving and stated his feelings. Since, I have "semi-left" the forum myself, I felt
like sharing my own sentiments.

Please, forgive me that you don't share them. I am sorry I dared to express my opinion, I'll keep lurking, if that.

P.S. No people - no problems (drama). J. Stalin

Dude.... WTF are you talking about? I stated my reasons clearly and with reason. So don't pull anything like that down on me. To cap it more clearly for you: I do not feel that I have the time to be on Vogons as much as I used to, and I am more active on other places. And because of that, I feel it is better to leave the forum than to stick around. So don't pull that "Everyone-that-leaves-are-nothing-but-crybabies-crap" down onto me. I stated my reasons. Take it or look the other way.

Do you want people to just leave without giving any heads up? Or do you want people to leave in a decent way? I think that I shall at least be decent and give a heads up notice to other people. So that we can say good bye in a decent and respectfull way.

And yes... I have seen drama here before, and I refuse to get tangeled in a drama, that are a drama over a non excisting drama, that you for some reason percieve to be a drama. And yet there are no drama. Well.... I get angry when someone acuse me of something that are not there.

Dominus was referring to a post of StSam, not of you, brostenen.

Ahhh.... Now, without him quoting what post that he was answering, I took it as a message to me as the OP.
I know that I have had issues and discussions that have been heated here on Vogons before.
And as I do not hold any grutch towards anyone in the long run, then I can not remember any of the issues I have been tangeled up in.

And reading his post, not quoting anyone, I simply took it as the message was for me personally.
Sorry for starting something that was not there. I appologise.

All good 😉
Usually when I'm posting directly "beneath" I don't quote, but I should at least stick to mentioning the user with a @username:

Edit: split the even further OT reply by RobertMo to its own thread at Senseless OT, was "Thanks for the ride"

I was calling you out for straying off topic. Mentioning the why would have been fine but beating a dead horse and doing that with tinfoilhat accusations was an OT flame bait that needed responding to. And thanks for being a prime example for why it was a good idea to close the ebay thread.

I understand the need for regulation and respect the power of moderators.

However, your exibition is a prime example of moderator power abuse.

Milliways
Announcements, advice, random banter, unrelated discussion, et cetera.

In my original post I didn't personally attack any member, didn't insult anyone, didn't rouse anyone or anything.
I only expressed my sentiments about visiting the forum less frequently. It was my first time doing so.

In order not to derail this topic any further I will refrain from any further conversation.
Dominus, your goal is achieved: an individual, a member of a community has been gagged.

Just for future reference, even though Milliways is about everything, it doesn't mean that you can do with topics as you please.
If you feel I or any other mod abuse our power, please take it up with Qbix, our admin.

I never thought, that someone would be butthurted about closure of eBay "nonstop drama" thread even one and a half year later...

$$$ is a powerful thing

Closed.
