SK,
AJ was a nice guy but he had problems with some of LT's members and LT's plans for the future. When he resigned, I asked him to reconsider, then I accepted that his goals and ours were simply different. Some people simply have plans and agendas that differ so vastly from our plans for LT that they chose to move on. Honestly, this is best for LT, because if there is friction, it will continue until finally dealt with. Most understand, and I hope you can that as lead Miderator here I get backed into some pretty tight corners on a regular basis, and I'm forced to make descisions about the good of one vs the good of the group as a whole, whether it be 4-5-6-9 hundreds isn't as important as whether the Community is being the subject of unreasonable demands to satisfy the few at the detrement of the many. I've had to make MANY difficult decisions in my present capacity. My job is not fun, I assure you. However, the one final consideration I always fall back on in all my decision making is "what is best for The Community, over the Long Haul" !
I have tried many short term solutions over the last two years only to have them come back and bite me in the ass! I'm no longer interested in being intimidated or the subject of extortion. It's ONLY about the THE COMMINITY, their security and safety and well being from here on out!!!!!!!
