I have no beef with Steve, or Steve's decision, but am perturbed with some of the reaction of my fellow members towards Lightbeer's departure. Guess you don't really know who your friends are, do ya?

Me neither, as I have said this is Steve's Forum and he must do what he sees fit to keep it operational.

A good point well put my friend.

Mark...
people have a tendency to misunderstand things....take as an example this post....it originally started out as a request for Steve to reconsider his decision....that's all....reconsider it....YET, I found myself taking sides on an issue that has no sides. There is no democracy in a private forum.

What happen to our 'friend,' Mr. Lightbeer is tantamount to encouraging someone to jump off a building and then criticizing the fool for doing it. We all laughed at Lightbeer's so-called antics, played along with him, and responded in like-kind to them but are still willing to shrug our shoulders and point fingers at him when the guy takes a hit. I have no beef with Steve, or Steve's decision, but am perturbed with some of the reaction of my fellow members towards Lightbeer's departure.

I couldn't agree more with you, I posted a thread a while back similar to the one you have started here with much the same response. As one who likes to have a laugh, sometimes my humour is misunderstood and it is quite alarming to see how quick the pack can turn. I too feel very sad for some on here who lapped up his humour and jibes, egged him on then stuck the knife in when he fell from grace, shame on you, you know who you are.

As to Steve's decision, like you I have to agree this is his forum and we have to accept his wishes or else find alternate sites.
