Subject: And I suppose you think me not your friend, because I agree with Jim on this one.
In reply to: J. T. Magnus, Former Forum Admin and Ex-Syndicatite 's message, "(With R. Wainwright's Hallelujah from the Shrek soundtrack in the BG, fighting back tears.) Well, I guess this tells me two things: Who my friends are and that no matter how long I spend online, there'll never be a place where I'm accepted for what I am... *Turns and walks away, drawing a knife from his pocket and dropping it into the ground, a single tear lands on the opposite side of it as he leaves...*" on 18:28:24 03/21/03 Fri

So, I'm now your fuckin' enemy 'cause I agreed that Jim was slackin' and that what he is doing is, in his own respect, the best course of action. It isn't like your losing anything out of this besides the position of second in command (which isn’t much considering the upcoming, I’m gonna call it, committee. You still got a board where people "know" you and at the least somewhat understand you. You're not even getting kicked/banned from the Syndicate!

Well, if we’re no longer friends for this event, then fine. A friendship where I’m expected to choose you (to keep that friendship) over that which I think is the best course of action then this friendship is not worth a damn. I joined and ended up here because of my choice to write what I want and express my opinions freely. If what I think damages or hurts a friendship with anyone, I’m sorry, but I’m gonna stick by what I believe. It’ll hurt both sides, but that’s life. I don’t like it, but I stand by what I trust and believe in.

JT, that last post was not something you would post. Not at least the JT, whose posts I read at this board. That JT wouldn’t be taking a defeat here…he’d be learning from it and holding his head up, taking what’s thrown at him in stride. You’re going to give up…tch. What waste of good time…The JT I know would be takin’ the demotion with little or no problem with it. He wouldn’t be feeling sorry for himself, he’d be working his way back to proving himself worthy of the position again and proving his ability to the board, and to Jim.

You’re down, but not out, JT. Yea, some of us had a problem with you one point or another, but it doesn’t mean we can’t change our minds when shown otherwise. It’s not like I, if no one else, won’t forgive you. I’ve got total faith in you, I just feel that you’re stretchin’ the powers a little...It being an extension of an elastic clause and all. So show us that you can be the leader you were originally. The one that influenced many of us to get on the get-go and trust in ourselves. Show us what you’re made of! GAN-BA-TTE!

After thinking about all of this, I decided that I'll equalize my time b/t the boards...so as not to take away from either. JT, you're the admin. here, you have the power...I won't argue that, and I am still thankful that you still, currently, supply the board to all of us. You won't here me whining about it, but you'll still get the "usual" now and then...heh heh.

On a side note, I have the feeling that maybe JT’s arrogance/totalitarian actions weren’t the only reasons he was suddenly demoted from second-in-command. Wouldn’t it be smart to equalize the members for the committee? So that, when JT is on the board making decisions with the rest of the committee, his vote doesn’t take precedence? Just thinking here, but it would make sense…
