thank you! (for the link i mean.) i now see its pejorative nature and even so when used in the manner related here. <br><br>fascinating.<br><br>we know drama! don't "we".

I think I finally get it. You just have to have the last word. Is that it? You keep saying you don't care, you don't need a change, blah, blah, blah. Yet you keep posting reasons why it should change. You've said your peace, why don't you just shut up already?<br><br>Ever since you and a few others have arrived here we've had threads moved, locked and deleted. NONE of which had happened in as long as I can remember. We've had a few relatively minor arguments over the years here, but they're usually contained within a single thread (if not PM) and gone as quickly as they started. You've managed to keep this stupid buIlshlt going for over a week now.<br><br>I think I can safely speak for a good portion of people here when I beg you to either shut the hell up already and enjoy the fact that you have forums here at MM to participate in, or just get the hell out. We really don't care if you like it or not, nor do we care if you or anyone from MC like the name of any of the forums. We've managed to participate in the three main forums for years without issue. They're not perfect, but they are what they are.<br><br>And before you try to imply that this applies to everyone from MCF, don't bother. Because for the most part, most all of them have fit right in here as though they had been here the entire time. But you and a few others represent everything we hated about MCF, and why Macworld shut it down to begin with.<br><br>

Perfectly stated.<br><br>Myself, I wouldn't mind if he took the option of leaving. Everyone else can stay. I just can't deal with his ramblings.<br><br>my photos

Well said, Giz. I've been wanting to say STFU all week.<br><br>
