Guest BA_Baracus Report post Posted December 24, 2002 Well…it’s been over 2 years. It’ll be sad to go, since between writing, booking and marking I’ve been involved in pretty much every show I was able to since this the IGNWF began. Hundreds of hours writing and many more reading your stuff and making matches. I had tons o’ fun over the years, and met some cool people…I’d send out thank yous to some of the people who’ve made this a worthwhile experience, but quite frankly after this crap I have no real idea who genuinely got along with me, and who was just being phony while plotting my demise in the chatroom, so forget it. I’d like to make clear that I was never opposed to having an extra booker…in fact I was probably going to get King doing cards and find another marker after the break anyways. Doing it on my own the past few months wasn’t a case of me trying to horde power, but no-one stepping forward to help and me not getting around to recruiting anyone. Perhaps I was a bit lazy in that respect, but no more than any of you who refused to offer help, no-show constantly and refuse to even offer simple comments on the shows. What I’m opposed to is the deceitful, underhanded, disrespectful way these problems were brought to my attention. Did I get any PMs, or see any complaints on the board? No. I didn’t even get any sort of indication that there was any serious problems since almost all the posts on the boards and PMs I got were drenched in phony politeness. Thoth says I was given a clear ultimatum, but that can’t be further from the truth…King did send me a PM, but it didn’t make clear who I was supposed to talk to, didn’t name any of the people involved in this, didn’t mention what the problems were, didn’t say what the results of not negotiating was or anything. All it said was “negotiate or else”, but why should I negotiate when I don’t even know what the issue is, I don’t know who’s involved and these people are too afraid to talk to me face to face? So instead of treating me like a reasonable and intelligent human being, I’m booted out unceremoniously called Hitler, accused of “ruining” the fed and have the work I’ve put in here not only not appreciated, but insulted. You claim you’ve gave me a “way out” but do you honestly think I was going to just accept whatever your demands were with a big grin on my face after the way you made them? After committing hundreds of hours over 2 years to running something, then being lied to and forced out through deceit and underhanded tactics how would you react? I was always very proud as my accomplishments as a writer, thought a great deal of the fed and always tried to make the place better. I didn’t run the place so I could revel in the power, but because I wanted to make this place better and make sure it didn’t die. But I no longer have any interest in helping a fed where my time and energy is met with resentment and disrespect, also I think that if this is the way you want to resolve issues with one another, I don’t see that there’s much left worth preserving here anyways. This used to be a game…one people took pretty damn seriously, but still a game, but if politics, plots and personal vendettas are now the atmosphere that’s going to rule this place, then forget it. I don’t have the patience for that crap anymore. If anyone absolutely must get in contact with me, my e-mail is [email protected], and I’ll still be around the IGN boards. So, for those who made this experience an enjoyable one for me, good luck to you…to those resentful, cowardly bastards who cooked up this plot…go to hell. Oh, and to those of you still left here…do you really anticipate being ruled by a CC who came to power through lies, and underhanded tactics and have shown that the work of others means little to them in the face of their own petty desires? I wasn’t always everyone’s best pal, but at least I was honest. Well…from me (and Mothernature of course) we’re finished…goodbye. Stubby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted December 24, 2002 laters stubby...... will you still be around on the comics area at these boards??? if stubby is gone....then that means.....i'm the oldest person around in this fed...(active...barely) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheBostonStrangler Report post Posted December 24, 2002 Well Stubbs, I guess this means you're never coming back. If you ever change your mind, there's a spot open for you somewhere in CC. I doubt we'll ever see you here again, but if by some chance we do, all is forgiven. I feel bad that shit went down this way. But sometimes change has to happen. I'm sure we'll meet again someday. Peace out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffin Surfer Report post Posted December 24, 2002 Sorry to see you go Stubby, but I don't blame you. I can relate to the whole everyone is complaining about you, but nobody bothered to tell you situation. It does make a person feel very unwelcome. Like you mentioned, If I'm not mistaken I do believe I remember a time when you or someone were requesting help, but obviously no one stepped up. I don't know enough about the whole behind the scene thing between Orochi, Stubby, Muzza, and Outcast, so I can't fairly comment on it. I know there was some conflict between you and some of the other writers, but none of that is any of my business. Personally, you always treated me good so I have nothing to complain about. I know it's Christmas and all, but when you people get the chance, please....COMMENT ON THE GOD DAMN PAY PER VIEW! thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DiabloIIFreak1010 Report post Posted December 24, 2002 Well, Stubbs, for one, I'm going to miss you. You've taken this fed through thick and thin, and maybe you had enough after a while. Maybe the thread of impeaching you was a big over-reaction, maybe it was not. I don't know, I know so little on this it's mind boggling. Hopefully, Mr. McWeed, you won't be gone forever. Maybe sometime in the future, you'll come back, just maybe for one more match, one more good run, or maybe one more time as Commissioner. In my eyes, Stubby. You will be greatly missed. Godspeed, my friend, and a very merry Christmas to you. - Matt Myers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tod deKindes Report post Posted December 25, 2002 Well, you DID book me pretty well 95% of the time, so that part of me is a bit sad to see you go. (though I do have faith in your successors) I myself never had anything against you, so whatever it is you do next; all the best of luck to you and take it easy.

Guest 5_moves_of_doom Report post Posted December 26, 2002 In retrospect, I realize that with this post, I completely turned into a nice guy... and we wouldn't want that. So... "PROMO (Taylor Nicholas Thompson) Good, you fucking bitch. We have more talented bookers, and more talented writers, than you, anyway. Maybe ousting you this way was a bit harsh, but you're a fucking prick, and I don't sympathize, at all. So, good to see you finally leave, and long live the new SWF... non-communism intact. Mothernature says... fucking die, bizznatch." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
