I guess I have to say this..........to the mods.

Hiya Mark,
I'm sure, from limted correspondance on the events that transpired while I was 'busy' (perhaps more on that another time...) this weekend, that Gecko chose to depart through frustration at trying to fight the situation alone. It must have seemed to him that there was no winning the battle, where you were intentionally antagonising us to pick a fight.
As a direct result you have been busted down & out of Alpha status & Gecko has left, through him being unable to reconcile the high tolerance levels with keeping the status quo against his own moral standards. That's leaving 'us developers' in the tough situation of trying to manage without a pivotal member and fend for ourselves.
My not mentioning your name directly in the congratulatory post was specifically in observation of the forum rule to not target users. Sorry you feel that it was veiled, however I feel that it was as blatant as I could be without violating the rules of that forum.
Let's be clear, you pick a fight here with me, or the two new elisted henchmen, once, that's it you're gone. If you decide you need help with your problems, Then more than a few of us will lend the best advice we can offer, but when push comes to shove, you need to seek the help of professionals with your binge drinking.

Given your opinion, and the obvious angst against me at this time, I will now resign, and log out forever here.

As far as I'm concerned, If you can clean up your act, you are welcome here, and would be a testament to Gecko's Sacrifice.
Thanks for not pushing me & making this get ugly.

Mark,
I missed your disagreement with Gecko and I'm sorry he decided to leave. There have been many times I've read your posts and just shook my head. Most of the time you are really caring and a great help on the boards but I'm afraid your hero George Carlin has led you astray. You have to remember these are family friendly forums. You should also remember GC gets paid good money for the show he puts on and those buying those tickets know what to expect from him. Parents don't bring their kids along to see him.
Jason has made it clear that you are welcome on these boards but you must tone it down. I'm sure you've heard it before but drinking is no excuse. It would be best if you just go love on the kitties when you feel someone is slighting you instead of fighting on the board. Walk away for awhile, consider the source and if that person is just trying to pick a fight. Leave the thread, go to one of the other forums and visit for awhile.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that reads most all your posts and we really do care for you. I hope you don't decide to leave but I also hope you can tone it down in the future. Next time you feel like posting something that might be offensive look down at the kitty laying on the floor or in your lap and think what it would think if you said those words to it.
Geek@Play:
I don't check in often enough so I missed the scuffle. Probably would have been very dissapointed to read it anyway.
What would really be a shame is to lose both Mark and Gecko. It appears that Mark may finally see the error of his ways and Gecko may just need some more time.
I pray that both of you stay here.
