Now not to play the 'less than intelegignetnet what he said' card, BUT how nice are we.

Noone has flamed this thread, we all have shown a degree of humility and kept it nice and open for Alien to come back in and not feel that she has ostracised herself.

Rants are rants, I like a good rant from time to time, and It really seems that the only person insulted her was me!! [RANT] YA cheeky booger [/RANT]

Alien we all clearly don't want any of the community OLD or NEW to leave due to what seem to be solvable issues. Nor do any of us harbour the ill will to hold grudges.. so please pop back give us your tuppence and lets get on with the fun...

Howzat sound?

I personally find it interesting that Alien hasn't yet returned to this subject to provide any sort of response to the stuff that's been written about her and about the subjects in general.

Much has been written here about the issues brought up, both positive and negative, and the longer Alien doesn't reply then the more it seems like "trolling" - setting a match to the forum then sitting back and watching the flames lick up around everyone's ankles.

I'd be interested to know her feelings on the matter. We've offered several approaches to how to move her issues forward and resolve them, but none have yet been commented on by the lady in question. Does Alien want to attempt to resolve the issues or is this topic exactly what some are saying it is - lashing out for the sake of it?

I wasn't going to respond to any comments in this thread as I did not want to "rock the boat" any further than I have already, so this post will only respond to my " not responding".
I didn't write the first post in order to troll. Keeping quiet was only fueling more anger and as one person pointed out, I needed to "get it off my chest". I have said what I said, and any criticism or punishment I receive I will accept. What I won't do is respond to people who are criticising me, as that will just "rock the boat".

EDIT: Also, it wasn't a farewell post ... you don't get rid of me that easy :p

Well, it's clear why Alien wasn't made a moderator, her temperament is clearly not suited for the job. Again, I don't see any valid argument there either. It's good to see that the moderators mentioned haven't reacted publicly in any way, good for them.

We are all equals here, no matter who has what "position". Everyone should be respected for who they are, not what they are, or how long they've been here.

Ugh, I got a pain in my chest... feels a bit like--- BLEAUUUUUUAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!

*ahem* Glad you're not leaving, Alien. I hope the rant has helped you get some things off your chest (especially chestbursters). But please do be considerate when naming others or making wide statements about the community - the reaction here is much nicer than you'd see in most places.

Fair enough, but you're not responding to people who are trying to help or offering advice as well, which just shows people that you are not interested in resolving the situation without resorting to big, dramatic rants. It's not productive.

In my not very humble opinion, you have posted a statement that has insulted a fair few people on the forum and then refused to accept any advice or help from people who do care about people's feelings on the forum (me included, despite my relative newbie status).

Do you feel that your assumptions were perhaps incorrect and that there are valid points in the preceding 7 pages that maybe are worthy of response to perhaps back down a little and acknowledge that the perception was skewed?

If you don't then people's interactions with you will be coloured by your stated position, which has been fanned by a very small percentage of the population here. "Oh," they will say, "don't talk to Alien, she doesn't like anyone and thinks we're all johnny-come-lately jocks with a superiority complex". Which collectively we're not.

I think anyone in the DDF, PBF, other forums, old or new participant in the forums, is not different from others. Considering the average age, we are all children of elite since at least 15 years - 20 years. So we are all veterans with share equal.

agreed, it has a "this is my last post and im burning my bridges while im at it" Post about it.

Ive seen them before but also this isnt the fist time Alien has made such a post, though in the past she has mentioned moderators but not who, this post is a little different in the fact she has named them.

I think the last one was because she was trying to sort out an "unofficial launch party" and all that occurred was PM's telling her she's got to do this that or the other, and she's doing it wrong.

I was gutted to hear this happened and she pulled out. I would love one, and would be willing to help out, but don't want the honour of all the hard work on my shoulders.

I have sympathy for the post because sometimes, both in RL there's something I know I really shouldn't say, but if I don't say it I'll burst, but if I do say it, I'm only gonna create a mess I know I really don't want to create.

But the need to say just grows and grows until it busts out against my will...

Then I realise I feel better. Then I have a mess to deal with.

But yeah I love this forum and the people on it.
