My Final Comments on the Matter

I'm so sick of these people who said they tried. Tried what? To ride the fence? To not have a spine? Please tell me?

Yeah...well honestly it *is* a nice sentiment what those people did, but it does pretty much no damn good and they know it as soon as they say it. Do any of you think it honestly ends on the board? By being so "fair" with Exec, you give him credibility...by saying there is room for BOTH of us, you give him credibility. And thus, EVERYTIME he makes one of these wild assine accusations with no proof (liar, theif, etc), *I* have to account for it. Not you...ME. And why? Because the lot of you never correct and continue to talk about how "great" he is even though he does it. Oh, but then you say it spills over to the board...what the hell am I supposed to do?!? Just lock it away and never say a word...I doubt that any of you calling for ME to ignore all this shit would even last ONE week. I've been going for TWO years and I'm FED UP!

People e-mail me to ask what the truth is since the board vocalizes that they find Exec to be so "great"...so what, do I ignore those people too and just let them believe what Exec said and this board supports in order to be "fair"? Most of you haven't even tried to put yourself in my situation...you don't even give one rat's ass. And many of you write *me* to help you out with gag reels and everything else under the sun (i.e. Danbagel)?!? Fuck you. Go ask Exec for 'em. Oh, and while you're at it...you can ask him for the season four and season five gag reels that I just obtained today (they'll be airing at DragonCon 99 this July in Atlanta if you can make it...but I'm going to make DAMN sure people like you don't get a copy - as I said, go ask your "great" Exec).

You people have "faired" me to death...you let that son of a bitch say whatever he wants to anyone at anytime, and then expect me to just roll over and die. Thanks. And please...elaborate for me. What the fuck does he do that's SO great?!? Give me something exact...something tangible...not this vague "He's great" shit. I want to know what is so fucking important that you would rather give credit to that asshole than someone who actually does give a damn....who actually makes a fucking website...who actually disperses items into the community that NOBODY else can get (as Danbagel...he's been trying a year for the gag reels even after I made them available to most of the public). Please tell me I'm insane. Tell me I'm nuts. I would take anything along those lines to try to make sense of this...but then again, I'm also going under the assumption that these people are better than he is. Apparently, I'm wrong.

And just to make this CRYSTAL clear. After many e-mail messages, I'm not leaving. I'm not taking the site down. Because you see...I forgot something in my frustration. This board is NOT the Sliders community. So why would I take my site down for this pauldry few? And this is not directed at the entire board...it is directed at this actual minority of people (who are unfortunately more vocal than those who e-mail me in private) who continue to believe that THEIR saying *I* should just ignore things makes it A-okay for everybody....oh, and need I forget, that they "tried." Please don't fucking hurt yourself. Your policy of ignoring works so well that you had to make separate posts to bring it up AGAIN! Just look at how many times people have had to say that ignoring is the BEST policy between the times *I* haven't said anything. Why the fuck do you ask ANYBODY to do something you obviously can't?!? You idiots can't even ingore it yourself and you expect ME to? What the hell?!?

So I'm here...I realize that alot of you have said nothing to earn my words here, and I want you to realize that my words weren't directed at you. But I'm through being nice and I'm through being "everyone's" friend. If you're my friend, you know it...if you're not, then you know it...and if you haven't done something I listed or have since corrected yourself, then you know I'm NOT talking to you. I no longer give any gray areas for the sake of the board or the sake of being nice...it's black and white. And if you don't like it, you can firmly bite my ass. Like I said...I'm sick and tired.

That's the bottom line...as long as Exec says nothing about me, I won't say anything about him. That's the way it's been up until now...but apparently to our fence riders...that just wasn't enough. I'm supposed to not say anything...well tough shit, you can leave. You see, many of you made a grave error. This has never been about respect for me...it's been me asking for help. I spend so much of time clearing up Exec's lies about me that I run out of time for other things that could benefit the community...and if there was an end to it, I could be freed up. You see, I've got respect in real life...I'm the guy you remember from high school who won every award...who was Senior class president...who was in the Hall of Fame...I'm the guy who won all the popularity votes in college and held almost every office...and I'm the guy who's in MENSA. Popularity has never been an issue with me...I don't come on the internet for that. But you idiots are so blind that that's all you believe I want. I just want to explore all the neat stuff behind Sliders without having to fight constant bullshit. And I don't mean RealSlider or the like...they can be ignored. They are obviously insane...but with you giving all this credibility to Exec for *nothing*...I constantly have to fight it. Again...those who do care, you know that you do and you know that I know...this is for everyone else. Really quite a minority of the board who sporatically comes here at best (Danbagel, SupremeTrekker, you know the group of late I'm talking about)...but unforntunately they are more vocal on these issues (which is the ultimate irony...they are more vocal on something they wish to be silent...maybe I am nuts, because I'm actually trying to be fair and rationalize with people who obviously are nuts).

Tf won't bother Exec if Exec doesn't bother Tf, right? And vice versa. It sounds fair enough, and like a plausible resolution to this latest of problems. That doesn't mean ignore it when someone posts something against you (a bad suggestion, as Tf has pointed out, and I happen to agree), but it means we're nipping this thing in the bud. If this policy is instated, there will be no issue anymore. There will be nothing to "ignore", because nobody will be defaming anyone (without good reason anyway). Tf, I think your idea was so simple it was hard (i.e. we couldn't think of it because it was so simple). I, for one, think it's a great idea, and I think we need to forget about who gets the last word here. Let's just end it all here and now and resume our regularly scheduled programming (already in progress). He who laughs last obviously doesn't get the joke. And this is it - the joke has been told, and has gotten old, so let it GO once and for all. I'm hoping this isn't just wishful thinking on my part, and this can be a reality starting now. Executive, if you're half as reasonable as you claim to be, then prove it here.

Why TF, didn't know you had it in you! Kick ass, my man. Maybe you should upgrade your photo on your profile to something a little more hard core, like mine. =)

I never understood what the hell was between you and E-boy, because I never took him serious to begin with, but shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I fully understand why you'd get so pissed at the little mutants that support him. This is the fucking internet. We don't need to pull any punches, people! If Executive is a stupid ass, we can call him on that! Don't try and satisfy the masses with complacency. I think all the people who thought that would work have woken up to the reality that TF isn't our little information bitch.

Now, where's Syrup so we can all have a good laugh?
