My contributions to other places on the internet do not mean that my status in this community nor the contributions I have made here over the years are any less meaningful that anyone elses. Cigarman, I did more to promote this board before you joined it than you will likely ever do. Just because I am contributing to help set up a friendlier community elsewhere does not mean I have forefitted my rights to be here. If Randy asks me to leave, I will.
Finally, you should be aware that your criticism's of another community are erroneous and unenlightened. You use Randy's forum to make those charges, even though the people being charged have personally e-mailed you with the real facts, and have promised Randy not to disrespect his forum with discussions about or defenses of them.
No one will challenge your assertions here, as we have promised Randy not to. You know this, and yet you still make them. It is you who insult Randy's wishes, not I.

1st- Maybe I'm wrong. It is difficult to read tone of posts. The laughingstock quote reads insulting to me. If it's not, okay i'll take your word for it. Njdavid. However, that does not change the fact that Dgolds felt that be just mentioning another board here is an insult to Randy. This moremiles "cult" is scary. How is mentioning travelocity, or expedia, or CO's website an insult to randy? Many of these travel sites have buliten boards... But for some reason mentioning Moremiles is an insult? Does this logic seem wrong to anyone else?
2nd, I never said you (Njdavid) did not make Massive contributions in the past. You clearly did. What I did say was that you stopped being a contributor and a positive force with the deny, deny,deny, campaign. This is clearly true. I never compared myself to you about Value of contributions. You made that personal. I will gladly conceed that you did much more for this board than I ever will. Maybe that's why it's frustrating that you are turning you back on FT. Quit, the mantra Moremilers..."if randy asks me to leave I will." Nobody is running a campaign trying to get you to leave. No threads are titled "go leave so and so". This is a smoke screen, a red herring. You don't seem to want to contribute anymore, then you throw up the if Randy asks me stuff. I personally want you to come back to the CO board with positive help and comments. Ironiclly, the positive comments are saved for Moremiles, and all the negative deny stuff is in FT. My point has been, be postive about CO and FT, or leave totally for the more positive board elsewhere.
3rd point. And this is the proof of what I say. You tell me people have emailed me with the facts about moremiles and told me the truth. And i'm spreading erronus facts... but you can't clear up any missconceptions, because you conviently promised Randy you would not do. Isn't that cleaver. Only your word will suffice. I can't post the emails I recieved (curious how you know about them, apparently the clique talks) because it is wrong to post other peoples email. You tell me i'm unelightened... gee hard to be "enlightened" when the veil of serecy you guys put up makes a discussion impossible. And you should know the emails I got contradict each other in several places. You tell me that I'm distrespecting Randy's wishes not to discuss this...
Gee how would I know that? I can't read it on your private board... an he hasn't said anything to me! This is so incredibly stupid. I'm insulting Randy because I talked about something he doesn't want mentioned, even though he never told me...
4th I suggest you all go read a copy of Animal Farm. There is no having a discussion with you all. Everything is either secret or Randy said you can't discuss it. But you all refuse to recuse yourselves from commenting on things here. We disagree and "sorry we can't comment... we promised Randy". WOW, that's great. So basically anytime you feel like getting involved here, you can. Then if people don't like it... "sorry can't comment, it would be an insult to Randy". This is too much. What ever happened to a community here? Sure looks like the "peaceful" folks are dividing it.
