If I remember correctly, what I just read in his post states that he is stepping down for personal reasons. I doubt I'm the only one - new as I may be - that sees this comment of yours as a bit of a stretch.
  1. The thread is posted in Off-Topic, which I would believe everyone browses for some laughs and insanity.
  2. The original posts were simply in place to establish how silly the accusation of "police state" was.
  3. From there the conversation simply grew as a conflict. The masses love conflicts. Don't believe me, watch the news. Conflict conflict filler conflict. And so more people - such as myself - threw their hat into the ring.
And so here we are. I don't think this thread as a whole reflects negatively on the RPC, and while everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I personally find that making obscure statements that impede upon the privacy that another has asked for is nothing short of rude.
Let individuals discuss what they will, but don't name drop. And most certainly do not drop names for reasons which you do not truly comprehend.
I'm just going on a limb here and guessing that in addition to this topic Freelance's private message box is probably stuffed with angry messages.Â
I don't know Freelance at all really, but watching what goes on here all the time and having been a mod elsewhere I've seen what angry forum users will do to an inbox, and there's certainly a LOT more anger here than where I was a mod.Â
So yeah, I'm speculating about private reasons, but that's a far cry from name dropping. Name dropping is something you do to make yourself seem more important in a certain community. I don't see how bringing up Freelance's PUBLIC statement to step down and speculating that it might be because managing this place is a nightmare is name dropping.
Finally, I don't see the point in telling me to "let people" do anything. I'm not a mod and would never ever seek to be one here after seeing the shit this community is capable of stirring up. So how about we turn that back on you and I tell you to "let me" say my piece about a topic that I frankly think is shitting up the community here?
