Parker-
Taking a great leap of faith
, I will assume that I am one of the "unnamed few" that are being referenced in your post.
I will be the first to say that I agree completely with the strategy to move these disputes to the petty disputes board. Hell, that is what you said you were going to do in the first place.
Why do you think I hijacked each and every thread that JD started? The whole purpose was to get the thread over to petty disputes. I didn't care if it was "RELEVENT" or not. Why? Because in my heart of hearts, I honestly believe that JD has some pretty severe mental problems.
There are a lot of folks on the Planet because JD got cozy with them on other sites, turned on them and then harassed them to no end for no apparent reason. Part of the Planet's appeal for these people was that it was a JD free zone. The Panet is a growing community, and as a growing community there is a constant influx of new posters, many of whom have no idea of his past. I think it would be pretty crappy for those people if JD blindsides them with his old tactics.
I was more than willing to completely ignore JD provided that he ignored me. I completely stayed out of the JD fray until he revealed his true colors once again. Once he did that, however, I didn't stop. I knew if I kept it up, he'd revert to his old tactics once again.
He didn't disappoint me.
To be quite honest, I don't give a rat's ass about JD one way or another simply because I'm careful to protect my anonymity on the internet and don't think he could do anything to me if he wanted to. Other people, however, may open up to him unknowingly giving him info that he can use against them if they ever cross him.
My sole purpose of highjacking his threads was to show that he hadn't changed one bit. I knew this whole "civil JD" thing was a ruse, and quite frankly, I thought he would keep the charade up at least another couple of weeks.
I haven't had any problems with any of the other posters on this board before, and I think that is pretty evident. I simply have no idea why you think it is a good idea to let JD post here given his past history. If people want to be buddy-buddy with him, fine. Let them put themselves at risk to his tactics on other Chiefs sites such as the Star or his own site. I just think it is foolish for you to allow the Planet to be an accomplice in his schemes.
A lot of people don't want him here. I've been one of the most vocal people on this issue, and one of the most proactive in that pursuit by highjacking his threads.
I don't apologize for that.
