...hey folks this is me, luca.
I have been asked way to many times what was up and i feel i should explain.
I left the board on my personal decision. Nobody asked me to leave.
I left this board because a certain person, who has been stalking me for over 3 years now, has chimed in on this board lately as she has done in the past several times before on the DML. But something different hapened.
Same people involved, same modus operandi, same averything eccept for the way this "new" board has dealt with the issue.
In the past, on the DML, she would chime in on random threads or sections and either I would notice her or (like may times) some member of the board or even moderators (Nick, Steve im sure you remember), would refer me to some post and ask me if it was, in my opinion, her or not....
I would either report to the mods or (if it was one of them asking confirmation about her) i would confirm that it was her and she would be banned on the spot. No questions asked. No excuses.
Now.
New board, same people, same situation, different reaction...
Instead of a friendly "...dude is this her?...yes?...ok her a$$ is banned" i got a cold "No further action will be taken on this matter untill....etc etc."
Forget the ice cold lingo (i shiver at the only thought), forget that i was thinking this was a place where my friends and i were hanging around shooting the shitt and that if anyone of us had a problem we would take eachothers sides, forget that we had been doing it for 4 years and for that reason i was expecting a freindly response, forgta about ALL this and even if it wasnt so (that i am friends to you as much as i thought you are friends to me), what difference is there between what was done by the DML folks and what "you" (the new DMF) coud have done?
I know there is none...
What im trying to say is that this place is just like the old one: me, you...them and certainly her. So why the different treatment?
I guess that what really bothered me was how a 4 year
active member of this "comunity", counts just as much as a...stalker.
I dont want to hear (read) about the technical BS...especially if its worded in legalese and its just a lame excuse so please save us
The bottom line is that last time she was around she got booted no questions asked. This time she still has an active account and i had to leave the board. Yes, HAD. Because knowing that she can spy on my "last posts" and gather from that information that otherwise would have been much harder to access, creaps me out.
See, Im a pretty social person (im sure plenty could testify) but since i have moved out here in CA and on the westside, where meeting interesting people who dont make a sport of flaking, is not easy, I have found most of my actual friends through this place (or rather the other place), so its hard to leave a place that you considered home.
But you gotta do what you gotta do!
So, thanks and good bye
