    Angry Following members are no longer welcome at TY

    Soulmate
    Raton

    More names will be added in the near future

    I don't take kindly of people making threats or false accusations

    If there are members here at TY who feel that I have no right to who I want to have part of our community can feel free to start their own website and invite whom ever they like.

    Matter is closed I will be keeping a close eye on a few other members and if I find them to be doing the same actions they too will be removed from our community.

    You don't have to agree with my views to be a member here

    Disagreeing with me WON'T get you BANNED

    Speading lies, making false accusations or making threats WILL get you BANNED!

    I have kept all the PM and emails

    Banning 2 of our oldest members and then publicly trashing them. Are you ever gonna grow up Marco?

    If you've got something to show us then show it. And those involved should at least be allowed to defend themselves.

    It would be way to easy to dress you down for this one Marco, as Raton and soulmate have clear public records while it looks like a another childish temper tantrum on your part.

    If they are acting diffrently behind the scenes, things worth being banned, then you should post that info, otherwise you're looking really bad

    Ah you want to see all the dirt do you? Well the only thing that I am going to say to that is NO I won't post private messages or emails.

    I have never misled the TY community in the 5 years that we have been up and running so why would I start now?

    Neither of them are welcome here and that is MY choice! Now considering that I pay the bills for the site I am allowed to make those decisions am I not?

    Take Care and Peace

    Well, it would appear that the name "Rat - on" is rather apt after the serious nature of the threats issued. Unlike him (when he publicly attacked Green Dragon) I believe that this issue should remain private.

    Glad to hear he has found a new role as Soulmate's garden gnome.

    Marco, we ALL respect your opinions, but to leave us hanging like this really isn't fair! This is your site and you can do as you please and we all accept and understand that, but it is not like you just banned anyone. These folks have been around and active for quite some time. We thought that you were close to the souls and Rat is Uni's brother. Of course, you do NOt have to tell us what transpired, but it sure would be nice as we are all just trying to pick up our lower jaws from the floor! Now that you have had time to calm down a bit, perhaps a simple explanation is in order? I only ask, because I care! Take care and be well, Marco....
    Life is Good!

    Default Wow, this came out of nowhere.

    I'm really sorry to hear about this. Kinda shocked to say the least. Are you sure that there isn't just a misunderstanding between the parties involved? I always thought Raton and Soulmate were part of the TY Family. I guess I was wrong. I don't want or need details, just want to say I'm sad to see anyone leave for any reason.


    Matter is closed I will be keeping a close eye on a few other members and if I find them to be doing the same actions they too will be removed from our community.

    How do you go about doing this? Do you read P.M.s or something?

    Ditto.
    Marijuana is not a gateway drug. If someone uses marijuana and later down the road tries any other drug, they do so because their attitudes regarding drugs have changed. There is nothing in the chemical makeup of a marijuana plant that would lead anyone to use any other drug, and that is a scientific fact.

    I will be watching and reading all posts that is how I will be keeping an eye on the members in question.

    I don't believe that there is a way to read PM not 1 that I am aware of anyways.

    Threats and false accusations have also been made towards another TY Administrator and a TY Mod.

    Threats and False Accusations will NOT be tolerated.

    Is this related to the rant room thread from yesterday? I read that one but didnt see any of the names mentioned in this thread on there.

    Since it was related to PM issues, I would imagine that the issue is private.

    Don't wanna speculate.

    I will say this though. I feel that you're doing what it takes to keep me safe.

    I trust that.

    I hope things can someway be put back on track.....

    Default Very sad, very sad indeed.

    I have to say that I am shocked to hear about this also. I know Marco has shown a temper once in awhile but the thing is Marco is one of the most forgiving people I know when it comes to his friends. Given Marco’s very lenient treatment of WWW and others in the past I have to assume what Raton and Soulmate did was something tantamount to murder. Totally out of character for what I have seen from them publicly but not impossible.

    I will defer to your judgment on this one Marco as it is hard to believe you would take such action against friends without undeniable evidence of them doing something very wrong. Its still a hard pill to swallow for me though.

    I wish Pistol Pete or some other very trusted member could take a look at the saved PM’s. That way they could at least agree with you so some of the other members can feel more comfortable with your decision. If this feels to much like power sharing on your own site I could understand you not wanting to do something like that though. After all it’s your house man. However it may make this a little easer on the members as the two banned members have been here a long time and have many close friends.

    This whole thing is very sad, very sad indeed.

    The banning of BOTH members are waranted!

    Raton was originally upset that he was removed as a mod then came his threats and false accusations made against 2 Admin me being 1 of them and 1 Mod

    I have been dealing with this issue since very early this AM and to tell you the truth I am fed up rehashing what has gone on.

    Yes both these banned members have friends here at TY and those friends should know how to get in touch with them if they so wanted.

    But like I said I do have the PM and Emails

    I understand that I am probably not considered a "trusted member" but there is something I would like to add. Some time ago, I had a run in with a member of this site and a few heated PMs were exchanged between us. This person was a bit scathing that I was Marco's girlfriend. In Marco's defense, he was extremely objective and left me to sort it out on my own. He refused to take sides. In the long run, I repected him even more and I know that if I needed him, he would always jump to my defense. In matters such as these I trust his judgement and have been witness to both the PMs and phone calls. I still believe that this should remain a private matter as opposed to becoming gossip as we are all entitled to a bit of privacy, even Marco.

    I guess that you will either trust his judgement or not. So be it!
    He is extremely patient and forgiving though and I have seen examples of this time and time again. You are right though...he does have a bit of a temper....but he always resolves situations and is extremely forgiving.

    bye for now,
    Pixie
