It appears that we are finally experiencing a period of relative calm. I am grateful. I know there will be days like yesterday. I understand all that. I sincerely hope that, if I ever find myself being barraged with insults by some lunatic, you all are as kind and stalwart in your defense of me!!!
I have noticed an interesting phenomenon here of late. I like to refer to it as the "I will leave forever if you want" Syndrome. Why is it that so many of our members are choosing to sacrifice their membership here and leave when something drastic occurs?? Does our membership and relationship mean so little that we are willing give it up, or is it a demonstration of "supreme" sacrifice??? Either way, I find it disturbing.
We all know that there are trouble makers and idiots in the world. Sometimes, they manage to find their way here and disrupt our harmony. Quite often, one or more of us (myself included) act out in a way that may be a bit out of character. We may say something we do not really mean. All of this is normal, human behavior. I just do not see why some of us feel we must end our membership to show our contrition??
We make mistakes. All of us. Please take a moment to consider the value of your membership here and what you mean to the others before offering yourself as some kind of human sacrifice! Each and every one of us are special. We are family. You cannot just walk out on your family. ( And NO Ron!! I am not singling you out specifically!!! HA!!!!!!!)

Ron, like everyone else has already said before me, you did nothing wrong except try to make whatshisface see that what he is doing is classless and wrong. You did us all justice by trying to reason with the man. Frankly, we all need to put the induhvidual on Ignore and warn others of his insanity.

I'd like to take a moment of your time to let y'all know that what everyone has said here is true and correct.

I don't want to be known on this Board as a trouble maker, and I rarely use foul language (more for the benefit of our younger friends) and try to respect everyone , even if we happen to disagree on something.
If this is the general view of my presence here, I will sadly walk away if my doing so will make this place a better place to be.
I have met many wonderful people here, and a few I already have as friends away from this site, and for that alone I am truly blessed.
Again, I feel terrible about the last couple of days and I want it all to be over with and get back to having fun and making new friends. I will leave this choice you!!

RON, IN MY OPINION, NO APPOLOGIES NECESSARY. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. YOU JUST TRIED TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE BOARD. YOU STOOD UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVED WAS RIGHT. NOT EVERYONE IS STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THAT. I LOVE READING YOUR POSTS. YOU ALONG WITH OTHERS ARE THE REASON I COME BACK TO THE SITE AS OFTEN AS I DO. YOU ARE AN IMPORTANT AND RESPECTED PART OF THIS SITE. I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING TO THE COMPUTER WHEN I HAVE TIME TO CHAT WITH FRIENDS.
PLEASE FOR ONE MINUTE DO NOT THINK OF NOT COMING BACK. ALL YOUR FRIENDS ON THE BOARD WILL BE THE LOSERS IF YOU ARE NOT AROUND.

Leaving is all I wish for, not physical harm. Just want to be "Left Alone!" Sorry, could not help quoting some  there.
The fighting has to stop with we of the board. I will not respond to this. Better that way. especially if your me! You know I love you and I wish much for you, but I will not fight him, just degrades me further than what he has done to me. People who know me, know I am not that person, people who know him, well, god help them.

Oh, Ron. You have absolutely NO blame for trying to reach out to someone who is clearly beyond reason. In fact, you should be commended for your efforts. I think we all try to reach out and welcome new fans to our community but, as we have all learned, some are just to self-involved to LET themselves become part of our community. Not that any proof is needed, but consider how many of the JP.Com's most respected and senior members also spoke out with you on this issue.
I have always known you to be a respectful, positive and dedicated member of this Board. You are exactly the type of person that keeps many of us here. The TRUE Judas Priest fan who come here to celebrate the greatest band on Earth.

After what happened earlier this morning, you are definitely tame compared to that one Electric Eye idiot. At least you tried to reason with him, even though it didn't work. But now you know that you can't always convince people just by typing a few words to them. Such a shame we can't put our hands through the computer screen and strangle the bastard on the other side.
Overall, you don't seem like a bad guy or anything at all. Heck, you always welcome alot of the new members of the Board!! Plus, you're always fun to talk to. Please stay.

Ron, May I say a few words...
We have all had our squabbles, with someone.. and in a moment of anger, we have all said some terrible things that we wish looking back on we hadnt. I have argued with some also.. and looking back I thought.. Great Now I have stooped to thier level.. But When we see someone really hurting others in a way that is not exceptable.. wether on this board or not.. It is our human nature to come to thier defense.. Esp out here.. We all have developed relationships with one another that are all special in thier own way.. I hope you stay. I think it takes a bigger person to come out and admitt thier wrong doings. I even apoligized to a fellow A while back in regards to bickering, the flying V post guy. anyone remember him??? I thought It would be better of me to do so, because I wanted to walk away feeling at least I tried.. Which I will say you have to....
Thus is why I call them here My Heavy Metal Family... And I hope you stay and become a part of it!!!! and I mean it.
Sure they can call us loser for communicating on a web site.. But I work from home.. I have computer on all day..
I enjoy the thoughtfullness of all my metal family.. I love to laugh.. and they make me laugh.. It gives me a good feeling inside .. Which is why Iam here.. Plus I love the Band...
So stay, no -one has to leave .. and I feel there is no reason for people to be judged.. And that goes out to everyone.
We have lost good people out here because of others medeling.. and its about time we stand UNITED! I agree with FREEZE.. he has been here a long time.. and is a good natured and decent man..
Hugs to you
MG

Joe,that was so very kind of you to say! I am humbled. All I have ever wanted on this Board is friendship. I feel the same way as everyone else with regard to trouble makers and those that would seek to hurt and create discord. I am one of the first to welcome those that come here to praise the Band and seek friendship. I will always stand against those that choose a path of malfeasance.
