I usually don't get into these kind of topics, but I just have to this time.
You know, in all my time on the forums, somehow I have never,
ever been flamed. Does this mean that I've agreed with everything people have said? Absolutely not. So how could I have not ended up in the situation that you find yourself in? Maybe it has something to do with a lesson I learned a lot time ago: to know when to keep my mouth shut. You said that
". . . now that I came back, I'm getting nothing but badmouthed by you guys." Could it be that you brought it upon yourself?
Don't be rude, dont bash.
Now if this isn't hypocrisy at it's worst! You think that the message you wrote to Lance wasn't a bash? Or rude? I think you need to read it again.
And as far as refusing to apologize to Lance, that's ridiculous. You may think that this is a free forum that Lance should have no say over you, but because this
is a free forum, he's got more control than you think. Because we
don't pay dues or the like, it's not a democracy, but a monarchy. Lance is the ruler of the CEG and he can do whatever he pleases with it.
