SRS:

Timing is often everything.... I was just wrapping up my next to the last post here, forever for the most part, with the exception of a short one to you about this very subject, when out of the blue came your post, much of which I agree with you, but only in kind sorta.....I, am, however, much happier responding to you directly, rather then a day later unilateral post into the blue...

Please show that you can, even under the most severe duress, still be even handed, by letting this post, post.....

From the heart as follows:

I believe, although I don't want to, that when you decided to split the threads that somewhere in you, you really thought that it was the right thing to do for the site and the members (although I also believe that you were swayed by some sort of serious moral imperative that you were doing God's will as well, nothing wrong with that!

However, after reading your post on the OBIT thread, posted by you on May 6, 2013, 11:58 AM, which hurt me severely REALLY, I began to have my doubts... because in no way shape or form did I deserve to be your "scapegoat", I merely posted an informational post to an Obit Thread on the mudcat site brozman thread, as an identifiable member, cookies or no, and I now quote from your stinging Obit thread post regarding me:

"Okay, I did it. Last night I read the Gene-Adelphi post and realized he and others were not going to let a music obit, stay a music obit, they are going to dig and post whatever they could find. So I split the remarks- now "HE" (emphasis added) and others can "speculate" and post in the other thread.

I have no understanding at all, why you chose me to flame, possibbly because of earlier posts which I had no knowlege of, didn't read, or maybe I was just "easy pickings", I don't know..... but I do know this from years of web protocol:

1. The person with the first seriously substantial post on a new thread, "is" in fact considered to be the initiator of the thread, and pursuant to that go some considerations, mainly the right to steer the thread along the lines of his initial post/ideaism thread

2. That no-one else can claim steering rights, topic rights without the originator's kinda/sorta permission, unless someone wanted to initiate a "flaming" war over it, which is exactly what happened, and I'm most embarrassed to say that you were the instigating" person.

3. You didn't like the direction that things were going in, so you began to arbitrarily delete ANY posts that you found not supportive of YOUR ideaism, you even went so far as to delete MY initiating post, obviously every time you did those things you not only pissed off me and other bonifide posters, but you egged on the insaniac guests to follow your lead...and thus the "clusterfuck" which you so aptly identified, except that you are/were the major supporter and instigator of same (perhaps unknowingly)......nothing pesonal here, merely an observation, from which we might figure a way out of, other then more radical moves such as bumping it all over to BS, Seriously SRS,DO NOT DO THAT!! PULEEZE!!

Is it possible that we can sorta codify it, remove the crap and put a wrap on it when it calms a bit? Seriously!?

Sincerely & respectfully submitted
Gene Rosenthal, Pres.

PS- I sincerely hope that your comment wasnt referring to me as "..the man...", I've really had enough unnecessary scapegoatism, for a lifetime.
