I'm not sure if you're creepy enough for the job. We'll need to know a little more about you first. Are you a registered offender?

It's not just coincidence that the two threads with the most conflict involve people from competing web sites and both have mined this site for members in the past and are still doing so now. It's pretty clear between Brad and Randy which of the two will and have stabbed you and your site in the back. Masterblaster at his site has drug yours name and many of the members here through the mud for years so to not expect animosity towards him is being unrealistic.

I've been here since 2009 Del. I have over 30,000 posts here. I've posted 100s of informative and highly detailed threads. I've raised money for this site's members, and ported dozens of saws for free in the process. I done repair work on saws that would have caused a huge stink if the owners would have went public about too. I think I've been a pretty productive member of Arboristsite. It's pretty plain to see that I'm not going anywhere.......nor do I want to steal Darin's members for another site. Some members are more at home in other places, and them being there rather than here can make this place more focused on the subject I'm most interested in. Porting chainsaws.

There have been mass exoduses from this site.......and 90% of them have been because the guys saw Brad being treated differently that the average member. There have been many cases where what he did was overlooked......when a less traffic generating member would have been banned for life. Like the time he sold a saw that was damaged as a pristine unit.......and lied about it. He was caught red handed in his lies, yet he remains here. That bias of treatment makes "normal" members a little resentful.

Many guys with pretty big post counts were once asked to find another place to hang out........that was not my doing. That one event made an entire group of people "Brad haters". It was because they were "after" Brad that they were asked to leave. They were causing too much trouble for the site. I did happily find a place for them to congregate.

You seem to fail to look at the big picture when you accuse me of back stabbing. Members aren't leaving here because of me Del. That is a fact.

We aren't in the saw forum, so Brad likely won't see this post......but I will speak my mind regardless. Don't pitch darts at me unless you want to see me come along and speak up.

Peace?

I'm just ecstatic MB will not be a mod here. Life is good!

Nope. Del was right. Integrity is what relies on the big picture. What does the student do when he thinks the master isn't looking? You are wishy washy about certain things, remember? Except that was two days ago. Subject to change.

Soo.... are we allowed to ask how long Dave is banned for??

 

[Brush Ape]

Darin lets Butch hang around because Butch generates traffic. Traffic and the almighty numbers are Darin's main focus.
Darin needs traffic and hits to show the advertisers that this place is worth spending their money. Butch is doing exactly what Darin wants him to do. Sad, ain't it?

Feeling a little like a tool, Butch?

You could also feel like a tool if you did anything productive, Gologit. Now that you don't have to destroy the site in a subversive way, you do it openly which I reckon in your twisted way makes you a martyr. Since you are now the self-proclaimed lord of focus, go focus on making me a sandwich.

Yup. The story around the campfire is that, years ago....................

Rumor, speculation, deceit. Classic Bob Knobbins.

One doesn't have to be a moderator to report flame posts or foul language, and I'll have no problem doing that. Grown adults should be able to converse civilly with one another.
