So this whole drama thing...
12 years ago
Why's everyone whining? I mean yeah I know the basics of it all but come on people, how many years ago did the focus of all the drama happen? Really when I look at it, my opinion hasn't changed, not one of the three people involved in that incident did what they should have done so I don't see how sides can be taken when there's that much room for doubt in any direction. And yeah I know, there people out there saying "rape isn't anything to take so lightly and blah blah blah" and you know what, they're goddamn right. One of my boss's best friends, and the same guy I bought my current car off of and probably would have become a friend of mine too, was accused of rape, but despite no evidence to back the accusation and witness testimony saying it didn't happen at all he's not sitting in jail. And is divorced. And obviously lost his job with the railroad and can kiss any chance at a great job like that goodbye cause once you're charged with something like this, it never goes away even if it's proven you're innocent. So with all that in mind I can't help but to wonder why Zaush isn't in the same situation if there's so much to say that he did rape someone. However I'm not going to sit here and defend him either cause I'm not a big enough asshole to ignore what rape can do to someone's psyche and make them not want to go to the proper authorities because of doubts and shame. And I'll just come out and say it, Dragoneer was dumb not to just come out and tell what's her name to go to the cops and not him. (And no, I don't mean to be rude with that, I just literally have forgotten her name cause it's been that damn long)
So with that said about the past, the present can be summed up really easy. It's 'neer. When has he ever made popular admin choices? Seriously, I've never seen any of you excited about any admin picks, so this kinda seems par for the course really. The only thing that really grinds my gears about all this mess is that it could have been EASILY avoided had the powers that be just let people bitch and not start censoring posts and suspending people. I know constant flaming people is against the rules but when you move in that quickly and that harshly, I can't blame people for citing favoritism and abuse of power. It could have just been a house fire, but ya let it hit a gas line there. In the end I'm left thinking what I always do: Don't want drama, don't give it a reason to exist.
In the end though I don't even know why I'm out here saying anything. People don't read my journals, and I already know I'm not the keeper of popular opinions, but meh, bandwagon I guess.
And since it's the popular thing to do right now I'll also remind people that they can still find me on Weasyl, SoFurry, and I think Inkbunny even, all under the name Tanek of course cause I like to secure myself on sites as soon as I can. But I still have no plans on leaving here cause that'd just be silly.

FA+

The thing here is that no matter if he's innocent of not a huge amount of people consider him a bad person. Dragoneer knows this so had he been a bit better at PR he would have decided to go with someone else, someone the users don't feel is a threat to their privacy and the like. Sure hiring friends is easy and working with them might be fun, but public opinion is important for a community site.
In the end though I couldn't care less about all the drama, I let it happen and go my own way. =)
Anyways, I really dont know what is going on here. What little I have heard, its something to do with who got hired to fix the last time the site went down, something like that? That's all, really. Has this something to do with Zaush? I remember last time, when someone hacked the site and posted it online about what he supposibly did. Is that coming up again?
I've never gotten involved, never had any real trouble with neer that didn't get sorted out. I don't fully agree with some of their stuff, but its not my site.
