I had a nice birthday and a nice day and evening on which to celebrate...though somewhat hot. It's often like that in paradise.

Love to all

I still like you despite yourself.

That's not very nice, "I still like you despite yourself" Might as well not even say Happy Birthday to Jwhop... that's a f***cked up thing to say!

I'm sorry you see it that way Silverstone. I see it the same way I'd see a family member who has ideas I don't particularly agree with. I can still say Happy Birthday, and mean it despite not agreeing with his politics or personality. It would be more messed up to be so petty as to avoid his birthday altogether.

Just because Jwhop has a complete different view than you doesn't mean you have to come at him that way! Quote: "I see it the same way I'd see a family member who has ideas I don't particularly agree with..." You are entitled to your opinions. If a family member had a different opinion than me I wouldn't say to them, "Happy Birthday, Brother, I still like you, despite yourself"

I have nothing against you only that I found your reply to him appalling and arrogant.
That would be like a knowflake coming to your birthday thread and saying:

"Happy Birthday, Acoustic God, despite Randall not wanting you here, I am sorry if you see it for what it is, but at least that's what it looks like, but I could be wrong: "

You think it's wise to listen to the people? First, there's many many MANY Knowflakes here, not just the few who are riding the AG train. Second, this is not a democracy. I'm fair to everyone, but strong-arm tactics tend to make me resist. Once again, if anyone is unhappy with my way of running Linda's site or with my fairness in general, they can always find greener pastures. Heck, AG will make all of you a Moderator, I'm sure.

What riot? A few out of a whole city is not a riot. And AJ is still here. If you will pay attention, her name is still on the Mod list for this Forum. I'm not certain where she went, but I'm waiting to hear from her. It has nothing to do with AG. It has to do with me supporting my Mods. If anyone can't look past this and move forward to creating a Forum Linda would be proud of, then I will gladly give them a refund. Oh, wait...no one has paid anything! I spend a small fortune keeping this site up and running and number one on the search engines so that Linda's fans can find us, and I am fair to everyone, including people who make a mistake...even AG.

I'm sure it was more than just a couple, but the Knowflakes trust my decisions. I am always looking out for what is best for Linda's site. AG is hoping for an upheaval, but he will not get it today. He will have to steal his Members the old-fashioned way...by hard work and search engine optimization.

What AG train, you ask? Open your eyes. He's playing all of you like a fiddle. But once again, I've asked lalalinda to not be so quick with the delete button. It's in the past. It won't happen again. Let it go.

I'm certainly no AG fan. But this is about supporting my Mods. They are my family, and I don't disown my family over a mistake or error in judgment.

I don't even know what you mean by this:

What is hypocritical in there? If you understood my relationship with Jwhop you'd understand that it's not a relationship of mincing words. We both speak our minds with frankness and honesty. If you don't like that, it's ok.
