My friend [censored] seems really to have departed

[Phat Mack]

He's disappeared before and come back. Maybe he will again. I still owe him a red bird for re-instating Venh.

Im not sure if you guys have seen his undertitle, but it says that he will return.


So, Im not sure what everyone is worried about.

LOL CMI.

I hope he's just taking some time off from the internet. When I first started lurking coincided with his "reign of terror", about two years ago. It took me a really long time to realize he didn't just ban indiscriminately, rather he had a keen eye for what and who made the forum better, and what and who did not, and often had a funny way of handing down his punishment from high. However, when I registered and was a noob I have to say, he definitely made me think twice before submitting a post, and I probably wasn't alone.

His bark was so much worse than his bite that his reign of terror seemed to me mostly a comical exaggeration and something to stir up drama and paranoia about. The paranoia looked like a very effective weapon in getting some people to behave themselves, but I always thought anyone reasonably sharp could see through all the fearsome drama.

Jeremy is a wonderful person. I will fight anyone that says differently.

Regarding that last sentence, I don't agree. The vast majority of readers are transient or part-time contributors; they don't have time nor interest to decipher a moderator's motives so they are likely to take him at face value.

I was bewildered and frightened by him for a long time and quite honestly thought I would get * just for being a noob. That fear probably did scare me into being a better poster and is maybe something I should channel today to keep my post count under control...
