It was closed, now it's open again. (Page 1/8)

Yes, I did close the forum and yes, it was my intention to keep it closed for a while. But now it's open again. The reason is because I noticed people were directing their anger towards a few individuals (an a single person in particular) and were even threathening him. This was not my intention although I could have seen that coming but I didn't.

So I opened it again. It had been closed for a whopping 1 hour and 45 minutes.

First I like to apologize to those persons. I still stand by my words I directed at you personally and that's not the reason I'm apologizing. I'm apologizing because I didn't foresee the anger that would be unleashed upon you. That was short sightedness from my end and my apologies for that are sincere.

That said, the original problem still remains. But if I was too angry to think straight a few hours ago, I'm now too tired. I leave this place to you for a few hours so you can discuss what has happened in the past 24 hours.

I'm sorry if I caused any inconvenience to anyone.

I'd like to thank you, Cliff, for reconsidering.
HOWEVER, I don't like the idea that you reopened just because the guy who started this is being threatened. He brought it upon himself, and although he doesn't deserve physical recourse, he should be prepared to deal with a lot of negative feedback. Do it for your own reasons.
Thanks again!

Hopefully everyone will behave themselves over the next 24 hours (and into the far far future). I'm sure next time (hopefully there won't be a next time) we won't be so lucky.

Thank you Cliff for reconsidering (whew!!)
