You know, all of this is deja vous. I remember when Rich (and others) were banned form Kingsnake for speaking their minds, and Rich pitched such a fit that he even started and entire Forums called "WEB WARS" dedicated
solely for the purpose of bad-mouthing Jeff B. and Kingsnake... all on a VERY public Forum. Rich was so indignant, he went out and purchased Kingsnake
s.com just to be spiteful, and wound up getting himself sued over it!
For those of you who need a refresher, here are a
couple of examples:
I am the one that started that stupid thread on GeckoFourm.net's
TEST SITE, and YES, I regret doing so. We were "Mods Behaving Badly", but it was really nothing more than 'talking behind the teacher's back' when the teacher left the room. I can honestly say that I would have been more than willing to say it to the faces of those I said
"rub me the wrong way" here on Fauna if I thought I would be able to do so without fear of the ramifications.
So, if any of you have NEVER talked behind someone's back, then have at it... jump on the lynch mob's bandwagon and crucify us!!! I find it extremely difficult to take ANY of you 'holier than thou's' seriously when I just posted an example of others doing the very same thing... out of spite! I posted a sincere apology on GeckoForums.net the same day we were banned, and wrote Rich a personal apology, of which I have never had a response!
Isn't it time we just GET OVER IT????
It looks like there was betrayal of trust all the way around, and unless you are directly involved, or actually SAW the notorious thread on GeckoForums.net, everything is just second-hand information and pure speculation. NO TOS WERE VIOLATED BY US POSTING ON ANOTHER FORUM!
Come on, guys. Just let us take what is rightfully ours, and quit holding it hostage. You all have made it very clear you do not want us here, and we are more than willing to accommodate you. But how can we just disappear when there is a crude version of extortion going on? I know you all want this "drama" to continue... (heck, Fauna is noted for it's DRAMA, and it increases the hits on this website!) but I for one am sick of it and would like to move on.
Please. Just remove us from your "Good-Guy" program, since people saw fit to post we were Bad-Guys even if they have never done business with us. Please. Just let the folks who purchased their own Forums delete them. Please. Just let us take our photos and be done with it. The we will be on our way.
(BTW, if anyone is interesed in the REAL story behind the Hayden/Hammack Fund, let me know and I will be more than happy to set the record straight).
Jeff and I have resolved our differences. It is history now. And no, I got that domain name as a joke. Actually I wanted to see if Jeff would actually ban the term "kingsnakes" as he did all my other domain names.

But things are OK now between us. We're just both hard heads and we know it.
And further the Web Wars forum was set up to take all the ongoing stuff about websites OUT of the BOI. Evidently you overlooked that little fact. There was more then just the issue between Jeff and I going on at that time.
And please, I am sure you scoured the site top to bottom to find it, but show me where I actually "bad mouthed" Jeff. Couldn't find it, could you. Sorry to disappoint, but no, I don't act like you on a public forum. And the reason I was banned from ks is also still here on this site in a thread. Certainly you found that, didn't you? It had absolutely NOTHING at all concerning what I did over on ks at all. Another oversight on your part, evidently. Or are you just being footloose and fancy free with the truth?
And this claim of yours that you HAD to go behind everyone's back to say what you felt because of fear of "ramifications" is pure unadulterated crap. As long as it was not done in a derogatory fashion with profanity and slurs, NO ONE HAS EVER HAD "RAMIFICATIONS" from speaking their mind here. I have taken it on the chin MANY times from MANY people for a lot longer then any other person would have done. It was only after it got to the point of obvious and blatant excess that there were "ramifications", and truthfully it wasn't until the point that everyone else thought the point had been long passed to stop it. So, Marcia, quite frankly, your lack of truthfullness is not very becoming of you.
And here you are telling us to "get over it" when you have been carrying this banner behind our backs for what, a year now?
But nice attempt at deflection on this thread, Marcia. Let me try one of my own.
Are you TRULY a Minister? I'm having difficult resolving that datum with the stuff you posted in that Kelli thread. Don't you have to pass any sort of tests or something like that? Aren't there some sort of qualifications people have to possess in order to become a minister? Or is it just a job that anyone can hold? Just curious.
Oh and while we are at it, PLEASE move on......
