In response to your last post in the thread you referenced, Kruzin:
I can see why people disagree with Jord, since he takes many things too personal, and takes things to personal levels.
I can NOT understand what people have against motub/Holly. She posted very reasonable stuff there, IMHO.
And as for taking it down to personal levels, personal insulting etc, I just witnessed a prime example of a long-time member and even moderator ridicule another user's nickname and sexuality, which is really the lowest level.
I thought we were over with this stuff by now

By that point in time, Holly was in damage control mode after her brief stint as a moderator. She had previously made herself look like a fool, and was trying hard to change her reputation and take back over the forums she lost.
If you're interested in knowing what Holly's darker side looked like, read this thread and you'll see what I mean:
Needless to say, after this (and other incidents like this) she was not a mod for very long...Core2 Duo E7500 2.93, Asus P5Q Pro Turbo, 4gig 1066 DDR2, 1gig Asus ENGTS250, SB X-Fi Gamer ,WD Caviar Black 1tb, Plextor PX-880SA, Dual Samsung 2494s

Guys, that was over three years ago. Way to hold a grudge for freakin' ever... Why can't everyone just put the past behind them and get on with life?Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox

You might be right. Maybe they misbehaved in the past (I won't judge this, because I haven't witnessed it then, and can only see things out of context now), but you as a moderator should really not sink to the level you have exhibited here, and their bad behaviour in the past is no excuse for your bad behaviour now. I always regarded you as one of the more cool-headed mods.
BTW, this thread did not only show what Jorden could be like

I fully agree with Agallag!
At least give him a chance. If he really can't play nice (and I give him the benefit of doubt), Ant can still ban him. Please, please keep this forum free of personal vendettas. (hope this is the right word)

If they are Dutch, they can't be too bad (I mean, it's not like they're American or German or something (let alone French)
)

I think this thread shows that the water is still too hot for Jorden.

but a sauna needs hot water to make steam to work properly
As long as everyone plays nice, I dont have an issue here.Better to let one think you are a fool, than speak and prove it

Hi Jord. I'm still here but now there's a couple of other "kids" here too
I was already registered for a while back then but I stuck to the hardware forums because I was still new. So I don't know much about what happened.

Looking at the threads Kruzin referenced...I remember some of it now. I was unsure of the timeframe you guys were talking about, and I assumed it was stuff from the time I was still a mini here.
