I'm sorry I called a troll who posted a 9/11 picture, in a thread about tipping, where I had a old friend die an asshole, but really use your heads here sometimes its just the truth, he is an asshole who constantly trolls. When a retiring mod told me to watch my back he couldn't have it anymore I didn't know how right he was. I didn't even know he 'had my back', we had never communicated privately until he left. Well, whoever he had my back from, you won, I'm done.
I predict TFP will continue to stagnate if it continues its current course and there will be a degree of group think while it does. Many of the posters I have enjoyed reading in the past have already quietly slipped away, posting only very sporadically or not at all with few to replace them.
The boobies will always draw in some, I don't see TFP dying, but things used to be much different.
I wasn't going to bother posting again but I had a few PM's and emails asking where I was, so this is an answer to that as well.

You are mentioning problems that are real and that we staff members are discussing and trying to solve fairly. I disagree on the snobbery -- our popularity cliques have mostly dissolved over the past year or so, but I agree that this has given rise to groupthink in several factions.
TFP is all about evolution, and just like with biology, we have to let things change and select for the good ones and against the bad ones. If people want to address problems or make suggestions they are always welcome to do so, and my PM inbox is always ready and waiting and I'm almost always on AIM (just let me know who you are on AIM.) If you want to say something to me that you can't say on the board, communicate it privately and I won't hold it against you because we all need to vent and complain sometimes.
