It ain't such a thrill...

Wow, how much fun has this not been?

Some good news - Midas called, and the rim should be in their posession early next week. Thank god, this has been dragging on forever.

Now the other news. MT. God, what a mess that turned into. The timing was uncanny, as it always appears to be in instances like these. Just as I'm thinking that maybe I can do something...

It's frustrating - aside from the part where I am livid that someone would attmept such a thing. Everything added up for me. Everything points in one direction and one direction only. I shared it with everyone because I knew if I didn't I'd be accused of singling someone out. Thing is, I put it all out there and I don't think it makes a damn bit of difference. I'm not exactly big in being involved with the site. Haven't been for some time. I have a full time job and and family and there just stopped being enough hours in the day. I have an agenda from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep, and very little time inbetween for deviations. The weekends are where I play catch-up with all the things I can't do during the week: laundry, housecleaning, etc. My time is largely spoken for these days.

Now, with that being said, I kept my eye on the board. Never let a week go by without looking at it. Just wanted to know how things were going. I never signed in, just popped on as a guest, had a quick read of any updates, and then moved along. I knew things were going south, even for a place that had already passed the equator a year ago. I wanted to do something, but what? I don't have the daily time to devote and I know it, but still I wanted to do something, albeit behind the scenes. Then this.

Someone actually attempting to steal passwords from me? I'm not asking to be a candidate for sainthood here. I'm not lapping up praise and adoration - there isn't any coming my way, and it's fine. I don't need nor do I want to be loved by everyone in MT. But that doesn't mean I'm going to allow myself to be screwed either. I continued to host the site - hell, I even renewed the domain name for another year last month - because people used it, and it could kind of maintain itself. (I see now the lack of active moderating really made the place suffer, but that's another story.) When someone chooses to try and get all up in my business, though? It's time to end it. There are things I'll put up with mainly because I'm not terribly bothered by them, and there are things I won't. I think it's bullshit, and I am no longer very motivated to be nice.

If you can't agree with me, that's fine. Again, I don't need you to. But I am going to do what I am going to do. It would be really great if everyone could respect it.
