    It seems like the unexpected has been done. I've been given the Borgs treatment. I don't know how much longer I'll be around, but it's been a honor.

    Everyone knock it off!

    No one is going anywhere. Things are bad enough without this shit.

    Its very simple.

    I felt like Elwood was losing his grip on this place, which he'd said himself. So I talked to Tamar about maybe getting him to give up the place.

    After I was done with all this, I was talking to Chris about it, who decided to carefully edit what I said to make it look like I was trying to give Elwood the Borgs treatment. Why? Because he doesn't think Tamar or I should be administrators. He thinks he should.

    I wasn't going to, but he really betrayed my trust in all this.

    So if I can't trust him over a bulletin board, I can't trust him with anything.

    Elwood, I'm sure right now that you think I conspired with the trolls to give you the Borgs treatment.

    But I didn't, and I don't know how I can convince you otherwise.

    Chris has been royally pissed off since the Triumverate thing. He literally did nothing to help me or Lanzman as we stumbled into Adminship blind because he wanted to be in charge and not part of a triad. :jayzus:

    We did discuss this, but there was never any collusion with trolls or plotting to make you leave. I have never seen any from Nick and you know I have been trying to keep you here for awhile now.

    There is a big difference about talking to you about the possibility of stepping down and colluding with trolls to ruin the board, Elwood.

    Nick has done a lot of bonehead things in the past, as have I, but plotting against you or the board isn't one of them.

    To the death, ladies and gentlemen. Bridges that were burned have been repaired. I may not can help someone driving a wedge between the membership and the staff, but no one is going to drive a wedge between me and those I trust, and you know who you are.

    This old mule is digging in his heals. I expect y'all to do likewise.

    It is a very rare day that I wish I could use my unlimited rep capacity for the Dark side, but today is that day. It is also another time I wish we could just post this in the forums.

    That is some pretty evil shit right there and considering Chris was supposedly Nick's RL best friend...it makes my skin crawl.

    All right, no one make any rash decisions without me, time to go catch a bus and train, and I don't want to find things much changed from where they are right now.

    But I hear this skin cream can cure the problem in a few days... so go ahead and try that. :rimshot:

    Well fuck me if all that didn't come straight outta left field.

    Look, Borgs got run off because Borgs is, at heart, an idiot. Elwood is not. Nick is excitable, but he's not an idiot either. So my heels <Elwood, note spelling :nyer:> are as dug in as heels get.

    Balls to the wall, crew!
