Do you really want to go down this road again?
Remember last time you did it and you got your arse slapped by the other owners?
And you were forced to issue a grovelling apology....?
And you were told to fuck off and stop posting for a bit because your egomaniac streak was out of control......?
Because we all do.
You laugh at Amos and his "breakdowns" but if you were honest with yourself, you'd see some disturbing parallels here, surely....?
This is fun!
Sorry I'm late to add my comments but I've been out for most of the day.
For the record - and in the interests of fairness - which even on an ultimately meaningless internet forum like Nuts - I believe in, I'd like to set the record straight for Natasha.
Never once as anyone been modded for their views or opinions - even if they have obviously been made to provoke a reaction, or to be divisive. The only people modded and / or banned have been those who have been abusive, overly offensive or have to our certain knowledge manipulated and ran fake accounts.
Natasha was not and never has been asked to leave the forum at any point or for any length of time.
Natasha as never been asked to write any apology, grovelling or otherwise.
I can't turn the clock back or undo things that have been done but I can honestly say that 'Natasha' as been without any doubt my most favourite forum poster I've ever come across (yes a bit of an open goal for Johnny there!) and continues to be so.
I'm sure everyone has their own views on Natasha - good and bad - that is how it should be I believe - no one is chucked off Nuts simply because the powers that be are somehow offended by their presence.
Humour is a very subjective thing - what makes one person laugh can offend another.
Not everything Natasha has done is to my liking but also many of the best internet laughs I've had is because of her.
However she is not above the law on Nuts, no one is, even myself as a founder of Nuts.
I wish everybody could find away to get along some how but I bet it would be a very dull forum if we did.
I think having a difference of opinion is healthy on a forum even if sometimes it as been contrived to do so.
At the end of the day all we (Nuts) are here for is a bit of harmless fun.
I'm sorry if anybody has got hurt along the way, I'm sorry if anybody gets hurt in the future - but please let it go and everybody move on - it is after all just the internet!
I'll get off my soapbox now.
