Captain Jovi and Mod Team,
Because that thread contains nothing more than personal attacks against myself and Yovana, I am asking you to delete it from this board. Are names are mentioned way too many times (both positive and negative) and the tile is misleading... or edit the tread to remove any post that contains our names?

RDK, I know you don't like long posts, but I hope you'll take the time to read this one; because, believe it or not, I can see your side in this. :)
First off, I can't disagree with a lot that you said. I understand why you're angry and I can't say I blame you. I still take exception to the implication that the mods don't do a good job because I believe they try their best not to interfere with the threads unless people get abusive; and they took almost as much heat over this as you guys did. But I can also see why you feel the way you do atm, because several people pushed or, imo, even crossed that line.
In all fairness, while you make some good points, you and Yovana had a part to play in why that other thread became so objectionable. IF it had been just that one thread that your OT posts disrupted, your case would be much stronger. But, tbh, any thread that's active is in danger, at any given point, of being taken over by the "RD and YO Show" (to put a spin on your alt title for that other thread); so people had a valid reason for complaining. But I honestly think if you and Yovana cut that out, as you had started to do, people will go back to recognizing the good stuff you both bring to the board. And you DO bring good stuff. I don't care what any of your "critics" say about that. They're dead wrong.
As I said, I agree that you have every right to be pissed. Nobody wants to read post after post about how [
insert negative adjective] he and the person he's posting with are. Hell, I was pissed off on your behalf. I just personally think that your anger may have been misdirected.
If you think it will help, I can add my voice to yours, requesting that the thread in question be moved to the non-band section; because I agree that it got out of hand and that the non-band section is a better place for it. Personally, I wouldn't want to see it deleted; because besides the valid points you and others made about why the board isn't as active, I thought it was quite impressive the way a lot people demonstrated a sense of community by defending you and Yovana, and pointing out some of the good ways you guys help keep the board alive. (Things that have nothing to do with rarities, thank God.) :)
JMO, for what it's worth...
EDIT: Oops! I hit submit too late. It's my cat's fault, I swear. Scratch that last paragraph, since the thread's already been deleted. Sorry guys, consider it dropped now, by me, too. :)
