Guys it's not my place to appeal to your common sense (Dallas tried earlier, he's the admin so that's his role) but this isn't high school, you're all grownass men... bringing up old drama will only create new drama, it's all how you treat each other now, if you have zero respect for one another then why bother interacting at all, it takes 2 to argue. If you're confused then simplify it, you're either contributing with positive and helpful posting or contributing with negative posts, you choose how you want to contribute so shouldn't be any surprises when you get negative feedback if you've contributed with too much negativity, that much should be obvious. Burn bridges and alienate people at your own risk and peril, this may be an internet forum but these are real people (except Danny the obvious benign troll, sorry Danny). Yes, different personalities will rub each other wrong but no need to keep making mountains out of molehills and hijacking every thread with irrelevant personal stuff. Keep doing that and you'll force the admins to moderate more and then you'll complain about freedom of speech.
I don't even read the drama parts, I skip it and get tired of seeing it, don't we all, that's why I sometimes try to appeal to your common sense as well, and clearly fail spectacularly
This isn't going to help either, getting involved, but I'm gambling on the off chance that it helps to resolve something, but it won't since people are too upset

My attitude did change from that point on but only because how someone lied just to attack me. Don't believe me that SB was lying, ask Kai & Dallas.
If this is about why Shaun left the first time and who was to blame then that should be simple enough, if that's the source of the spat. But only Shaun can answer why he left, not my place to even try and talk on his behalf, about personal life stuff, up to him whether he wants to share anything. I do remember James being worried and genuinely asking whether it was because of one harmless little joke, which was nonsense, I already stated my opinion in some random thread when I said he left because of all the nasty jibes towards him, that was my opinion, thought it was obvious since all could see it
Can pin it on me if you want, I don't really care, if it will stop the bickering for once
To be fair, I've kept in touch with Shaun outside the forum and was telling him not to neglect his automation work etc, always felt his advice was underappreciated by most all the newbies, he's given way too much to the forum and usually first one to give advice, so I'm glad he took a break to work on his other projects. Forum is only a forum, people are free to come and go, and aren't obligated to share anything
