Title: Upon further review
Post by: oldbike54 on July 22, 2019, 12:05:28 PM
 Fellas , I didn't mean to cause any issues , or any concern among the members of WG . Will say that the response to my dilemma was a bit surprising, not that it isn't appreciated . Still , I've thought about this a lot the last few days , something happened early this morning involving a spammer getting past the firewalls with a thread completely inappropriate for this place , and instinctively I responded as a moderator to the threat . Old habits die hard it seems .

 Anyway , please be patient , I'll sort this out , in the end maybe the decision  was made by the board members , if I haven't responded personally to a PM I will get to it before long , something I have always tried to do is respond to any PM , even the ugly ones .

 So thanks ,

 Dusty

 Just to clarify something , it wasn't that someone breached the firewalls , some asshat went thru the legitimate process of signing up using an I[ address from America and the used his/her membership to post spam . Some of you saw it , it was really stupid and obvious .

If you are talking about that breech with the woman's picture in it, I notified Luap this am.

And about the other thing, it's a lesson learned by everyone. Thank those that make our life better, in hopes it makes their life a bit better.
Sometimes it's easy to forget what others do. I know many enjoy this forum, and you are a big reason why. :thumb:

 Thanks Yogi , and that certainly came into consideration in any decision made here .

 Apparently Luap and I were both working on it at the same time , which kinda confused me at first until figuring out what was happening . Next time anyone sees something like this , which only happens every couple of years , don't respond to it , just report the nonsense . Deal ?

Well, now I know who to blame for any weird, morally questionable purchases made in the near future.  :laugh:

In all seriousness, I'm very glad that you've decided to stick around for several reasons. Take the time you need to get your mental state sorted, and know that you have an entire community, here, willing to lend support, even if it's just thoughts, well wishes, and moral support.

I looked at her board profile (that's all) and she listed her gender as male. Curious, I thought, curious

I don’t know about any breach, I don’t know anything private about Dusty.
But I do know two things for sure..
Dusty works very hard so some of us here (including me), who push the boundaries on occasions by promoting controversy, are not ejected for causing things to degenerate into slanging matches.
I also know that if it wasn’t for his tireless efforts, I would have gotten the flick pretty early on.
So.
If it helps you (Dusty) to be able to concentrate more on looking after yourself and less of your finite energy is spent giving people like me warning after warning, I’ll resolve to alter my approach and be one less person that you have to check each time I post.
I’m thinking if we collectively try to be more conciliatory, he’ll have less of a workload..
It may help.
The ultimate state would be, if everyone vetted their comments properly, he’d have very little to have to fix.
Of course the vast majority of members have no need to change anything, but some could do well to do so.
We know who we are..  :embarrassed:
Oh and BTW.
I am pretty sure I’ve posted this in the wrong thread, but under the circumstances I’ll ask to be given some slack.

Ya step away for a week or two and all hell breaks loose...sheesh! Dusty, not sure what happened (and don't need a recap) but my mental image is one of those huge summer storms.  Hope there's a rainbow that came with it.  Glad to see you're still kickin' around.
