To clear the record.

Hey all,

I just wanted to let everyone know that we have a great opportunity to create the tight knit community we had, and still very much have.

So that everyone knows some of us as the "staff" of macosx.com/press3.com may not have agreed with Admin. That's part of being a team. Do understand though that we did as we were asked to do as the leadership team. Certain moderators left the team. They had every right to leave based on standing up for their beliefs. I understand some mud has been slung calling the new team "goons" and "nazis."

Nice. Let's act with a little maturity.

I for one understand some deep gashes were made to some members of the community, but please do not pick apart Admin's message. You all know what the intent is behind it.

This is a request to put "it" away. "Let it go" is a powerful statement, after all, who likes to be angry? Certainly not anyone I know.

If you have a question as to why a decision is made, you have every right to ask one of us, any one of us. Numerous times people have been upset because I've moved a off topic message to another forum. I can't tell you how many complaints of "over-moderation" I've gotten. While most were justified, I will always make an attempt to listen to the community. Some things will not change. Vulgar language isn't appropriate, posting a message somewhere it doesn't belong to get "air-time" still won't be permitted. Folks, you are in a moderated forum, listening to a list of rules which you abided by. Please re-read those rules. If you have any questions about a rule, ask and Admin and I will answer (or anyone else if they know )

Let's "Let it go"

Well put twyg...

Let's get it back to normal! I've "let it go" and so should others... I still feel that it shouldn't have happened, but that's now in the past and let's try to make the future bright.

Just my $0.02

It seems like it is like a firght between close friends. Things were going great, then it kind of exploded and now if we try we can become, to use the analogy, 'close friends' again. I certainly know I'm going to make every effort to forgive especially admin. I don't know the motives behing what he did, but that doesn't matter. I am willing to forgive him. I also think that I should apologize to him, since I was a little harsh and mean to him in some private messages and emails I sent to him.

If you all agree.... I would really like to be a friend of yours again. I love MacOSX.com. And whatever happened I will forget it.

And I want to forget it. Although I dont really know anyone of you guys.............. I would call you friends. (May I )


Why my change of mind?

Its time to forget and to get together again. Lets all be a good comunity again. That would be great.

(Actually I remembered the time when I met TheMako at a HotLine Server. At one of over two millions. And I felt like meeting a close friend. That made me thinking of all this.)

We all made mistakes, I think.

May I be your friend again / You wannabe my friends again???

Now I need a new Avatar!

[googolplex]

Bring back your old one. The one from iTunes. That one was cool!

I think we do need to forget everything thats gone on. Welcome back alexandart!

Forgetting. . . . "Those who don't know history are bound to repeat it." Or something like that. I don't think we should forget, just move past it. This might even make the community stronger. Hope springs eternal.
