Before I say anything, I'm going to add the disclaimer that I'm trying to be objective about this. Anyway, Cyrem, not all of your points are true. May I remind you that you had many ways to communicate dislikes with me and discuss this in private, however you did not in any way do it; Making this look (to me) as a public stunt. I distinctly remember seeing LZ send comments to you and other admins about certain things that he was having a problem with, though this was during the whole Tracker fiasco. I have also seen posts of his in the topics that either first started/addressed the problem that were generally ignored. I'm pretty sure I told Tracker not to do it. Tracker was making up his own stuff for what ZJean was writing, as long as he kept it out of what ZJean was posting, no I don't really care. The first part is probably true, but, as LZ said, Tracker didn't listen. The second part, however, is false. He wasn't trying to write for my idea, he was trying to take my idea. There is a MAJOR difference. However, as Tracker himself has already pointed out, the problem was simply one of terminology which has apparently been solved. And in LZ's defense about Forum Games, what he meant about "stricter moderation" of the forum was a rule that actually would have allowed him to delete all of the pointless posting games(eg:Lets Count, Rate the whatever, etc) while keeping all of the games that were actually somewhat good and, by the way, were not receiving anywhere near as many posts(eg: The RPs, the picture war games, and the C/R games). As things stood, if he were to go around closing all of the pointless games, someone would have been able to b**** about it, as there wouldn't have been legitimate reason for him to close them. But as I said before any of this, I'm not trying to do any defending (except maybe on that last part, but that was more of a clarification of a point than a defense), just pointing out some flaws in arguments. But before someone tells me that I'm just pointing out flaws in one sides' argument, I going to say that LZ's whole argument is flawed, as it is a raegquit and raegquits are never a good way to do things, because they generally just make things worse. A better way to go about would have been: I am leaving this site on the grounds that I disagree with some of the more recent changes on the site and that it seems whenever I protest these changes that are, in my opinion, unfair, I am completely ignored(use examples). And then maybe list what changes he disagrees with, leave a short, reasoned statement why you disagree, suggest a better course of action, and leave. This course of action would have accomplished the same thing as this blog, but without releasing all of this vitriol that will probably keep people from reaching some kind of middle ground.
