"That is what just absolutely floors me. There are quite a few people whose loyalty shifts with the wind and whose memories are very, very short.

I enjoy posting with several people over there but some of those folks seem like completely different people now that they've left. Whatever!"

Just wondering what you meant by that. Thanks.

I think it's pretty clear. There are some folks who, up until Sunday morning, seemed perfectly happy after spending many years and many thousands of posts at JI. But, when a handful of people left "never to return" (a couple of which had very valid reasons), all of sudden many people suddenly decided that they hated the place and had to leave permanently. I've had this discussion a few times. I post in both places because I have many friends at both sites but the herd or mob mentality was somewhat disappointing. Hence, my emphasis on the word "some". PM me if you want to discuss, JVoF.

And like I just told you Frank, you're not the one who is being defamed and you're not the one whose charachter is being assassinated.

Everything I posted was 100% true. They are acting like children who got their puppy taken away apparently.

I didn't say it was easy... all I said that it might be wiser to take the proverbial high road. The truth is always revealed and a majority of the people out there are intelligent enough to ascertain what is going on and come to a reasonable conclusion on their own.

SoFlaJets brought me over here months back (edit: August 2007!), there are some good posters here - but I'm just not as active here as I am on JI.

I am in shock at how many people have migrated over. I'm almost regret going out with friends and having a life, and being away from the computer and missing the whole mess unfold... no I don't. ;)

Hey, if that's your reasoning i'm fine with it. Just wanted to make sure you weren't being two-faced about it. I don't really need to hear a further explanation, if there's something you want to talk about its fine as well, but i'm satisfied with that.

I've been trying to Frank, I really have. They acted like children in their attempt to remove me and now they are acting even worse since I threw their BS in their faces.

I guess I'll just leave this to my lawyer and have fun on the internet thingy.

Me neither. I posted my last post on JI and then went to a business function Sunday night.

Man am I happy I didn't have to watch that game.

makes no sense....unreal....so people come in here and "tell" on people to the other site...

crazy....does the reverse happen as well....

The reverse does not happen. There is really nothing worse that you can say about us that we don't already say to ourselves.

We take the approach that we don't "OWN" posters. People have free will and will choose to post where they feel most comfortable. JetNation isn't for everyone and we respect that.

Crazy concept I know.

ou already had to ban 16 people?

No Jetfan16 got banned. Other than viagra spammers it generally takes awhile for someone to get banned.

Even the viagra spammers are allowed to post 3 links and aren't banned until Smizzy copies them.

I can understand why there may be some resentment between a few select posters...but the crazy Salem-like witch hunts for anyone who "defects" are too extreme.

I feel as though people get comfortable posting on one site, and they feel like they build relationships with the other posters and start to feel a sense of ownership for it all.

I don't know, I guess I like being a little fish in the ocean rather than a big fish in the bowl.

Ha ha ha...for the record I never officially said I was leaving the other place...but to be honest, I really like a lot of the features on this site better.

I hope I wont get treated any differently here if I post there, there are some good friends over there I'd still like to keep in touch with, but my funny pic thread over there may have run its course....a thankless job, really...LOL....

So I guess I really was wasting my time watching the Broncos/Pats game last night. What the hell. Seriously, do I have to read all posts? Can someone summaries what has gone down in the last 24 hours in 140 characters or less please?

Here is what happened:

Everyone on both sites was getting along fine. Then this girl came to NJ for a game and stopped by the wrong tailgate. She decided hanging out with Tony Siragusa was more important than meeting a powerful Webmaster.

Anyhow, said Webmaster has been cranky ever since. Some say he never recovered from that day and has been banning people ever since.

If you listen very closely some say you can here him crying late at night.

:-P

I don't care if you post over there. You can do whatever you like. I would just hope you don't do anything to help Sooth get sued. ;)

well, here is the deal....I have been bouncing between both sites, and a lot is being said about posters on both sides..

Maybe Bergen is right, and everyone should just move forward and not pay any attention to the ramifications of the weekend and instead enjoy the fact that so many people are here because of a genuine admiration for interacting with the few people who really felt they had to leave.

I thought you guys came here for the pancakes?

Being two-faced is exactly what I was complaining about. Some people who've clipped 10,000 posts at JI and were seemingly happy on Sunday morning were here by Sunday night calling for JI to be burnt to the ground. Just disappointing because, as far as I could tell, they were simply following the crowd to a degree. It was a bit of a mob mentality.

I'm the same person here as I am at JI. I write the same and have the same username, avatar, etc. I do that on purpose. While I'm surely disappointed with a lot of things that went down over there I've never personally had a problem at JI. I came to JN to keep in touch with several friends who have PM'd me and appreciate me being here knowing that they'll never return to JI, but that I've chosen to spend time at both places. I bought the roundtrip ticket, not a one-way.

I spent time visiting both sites for a bit after this site was created. Nothing wrong with that at all.
