If this thread has proven one thing, it has demonstrated how completely
full of crap Greg Lindahl is....and how utterly clueless he appears to be
to any reality beyond that which he defines for himself.

Greg SAYS he'll abide by the decisions and agreements this group makes
collectively, but that only applies to any agreement that supports his
personal position and proves him right.

The proposal to change the FAQ was posted and voted on publicly to put an
end to Greg's silly argument that a couple of moderators wanting something
does not constitute a majority.  He did AGREE to change the FAQ if we all
agreed to it - which we clearly have.

Now that we've demonstrated agreement on the subject of advertising, Greg
says the vote doesn't count because we didn't follow his precious
protocol.  Well, protocol doesn't work with Greg - he's demonstrated that
to each and every person who has tried to debate this issue with him
rationally.

He followed his agreement to change the FAQ with what many consider an
inflammatory threat to flood the ng with ads for games on his list who do
not speak for themselves.  I say, let him do it!  Who cares?  If I'm
interested in a game, I could care less who posts the information that
leads me to it.  If I'm not interested, I just don't click the mouse
button over that particular thread.

The bottom line is nobody could reason with Greg privately - he can't hear
anything that  doesn't agree with his personal version of reality.  When
we took it public in an effort to demonstrate that we agree as a group
that a change should be made, Greg went back on his word and fell back on
yet another tired excuse that only convinces me he is a self-righteous,
lying, and dishonorable person.

How proud Greg must be of the reputation he has created for himself in
this ng.  Nobody did it to him - as he loves to imply.  So folks, it looks
like no matter how much we all agree on this issue, Greg will continue to
hear what he wants to hear, do what he wants to do, and tailor the "truth"
to suit his own needs.

What I find exceptionally funny is the fact that, while we can't force
Greg to leave our group, he can't do a thing to stop us from using it as
we see fit....as we collectively agree to use it.  So let him keep right
on snipping.  I've had three toddlers to live with....what's one more
toddler mentality?

My apologies to rec.games.pbm subscribers for the tone of this message.  I
am so exasperated that no matter what we do, it isn't the "magic
combination"...and yet, when Greg KNOWS there is an issue at hand that
requires a vote, why isn't HE proposing it if he wants it done a certain
way?  I guess we all know the answer to that.  All of us, that is, except
the one person who really SHOULD be hearing us.
