SMT Rant - Redux

What is this?

"To my chagrin others in my group were nice and welcoming to them after reassuring me that they felt the same way. Now, the new president of our club has extended an open invitation to them after they were evicted from the club for lack of paying dues. Apparently there is a movement to try to force me out. And yet no one has said one word to me. They’ve all been exceedingly nice to my face and not one private message has been delivered."

I have been very patient with this entire thing but for you to drag this groups name and me in the mud as you have has left a bad taste in my mouth. You never gave me your opinion about Rob and Kelly because I never asked you for it. If you have problems with certain people in the group then that’s between you and them and last time I checked this group is run through TheForce.net and we do charge dues but it must still remain open to others so when I ask folks if they will be joining us this year that doesn’t have to be approved by you or even me for that matter... All these problems seem to have come to light since you and Tiim lost the election. Yes I know about the secret pm's asking members who they voted for. I AM THE PRESIDENT so if your sig "Since when does the SMT have two secretaries?" is a crack on me then I suggest you think very hard about your choice of words and drop that from your sig. I really don’t care if the boards are dead during the winter months because its always been like that so when you post something and no one responds don’t take it as a personal attack on you.

"Apparently there is a movement to try to force me out." If I wanted you or Joe out of this group then trust in the fact that I would tell you upfront and directly to you so don’t think there is this grand scheme to "force" you guys out. I want you and Joe to remain a part of this group, but enough of this petty crap and lets act like adults.

“and not one private message has been delivered.”

Here is your private message you wanted.

In answer to your first question, it's a blog. A place where I rant on whatever topic I want because it falls under the protection of the First Amendment. If you bothered to read any of the other ones on the site, you might have understood that.

I am so relieved you’ve been patient with me. It really ranks high on my list of things to accomplish in my lifetime. Right up there with finding a cure for the common cold and ending world hunger.

And I left a bad taste in your mouth. Somehow, I don’t think that’s the worst you’ve ever had. The way your precious inner sanctum treats anyone who aren’t a part of their click leaves a bad taste in mine. You want Joe and I to start behaving like adults. Okay but that comment means you and your pals as well. Your sick of the snarky bullshit?! Talk about the pot and the fucking kettle.
As I have already covered both the SMT election and Kelly and Rob in my previous blogs, I will not retread old territory. Since I obviously add nothing useful to the group, I’m out. I have way too much going on to worry about the slow collapse of the Timpire. It’s over! The movies are over and interest is waning.

We all have other things in our lives that we want to do, hence the lack of interest on the board. Face up to it and get over it. You’re an adult, there is more to life than Star Wars.

Yeah, that’s right, I said. Who wants some?
