do you miss Oprano reviews by Dravyks "team"?

[Dravyk]

Well I will again thank those who posted good things here.

Next, I agree if someone is a constant board reader of this board, reviews would not be of much use to those. To those who read many boards, while it's impossible to capture the Oprano "flavor" in reviews (one has to read Serge's posts themselves to enjoy them fully), it has its benefits, IMHO.

All in all, as PD said, "twas much ado about nothing".

However, I will not and can not let this post go unchallenged ...

I will say it. Drav is a weenie. He has always been a weenie, and will always be a weenie. He is a fence sitter, and an ass kisser. Could this be because of his job? Maybe. But regardless, I have no respect for people who cannot stand up for the things they beleive. ( It is even worse if they do not have anything they beleive in)

I have NEVER kissed anyone's ass. EVER.

Next, Mike, not sure if you know what year this is, but just to inform you, it is 2003, not 1999. Yes I WAS a fence sitter, as you call it, during the time when I was a newbie and during the early days at Condom/Netpond as an official of that resource. At the time, being an official there, working for someone else, and that board being only one of two major boards, you didn't fuck over sponsors or try to take sides, especially when you worked there. Later when it was one of five major boards and there became more competition for advertisers, that held even more true.

And even while I was there, I remember getting called on the carpet a few times for NOT using discretion, and told to tone it down. (Or rather recall Nick screaming "what the fuck were you thinking, talking to so-so like that on the board. He's a fucking sponsor!") That's one of the many ironies in your statement, Mike.

(Another might be, I have never seen you put bitch-slap any of your advertisers listed on here, but hey, let's not ruin this post with facts or anything.)

What you call fence sitting, I call my being diplomatic. Something that you both don't know how to do and never had to worry about doing being in a different position. But, for me, that was four years ago; get with the program. Haven't sat on any fences for a long fucking time. In fact, if I was someone who didn't take stands, didn't have opinions, and kissed assed, this whole banning shit would never have come up. Duh! :-)

Personally, I think the weeniest shit I've seen in a long time was your taking shots here at a time you knew I wasn't able to respond. Now THAT is weenie, Mike.

And with that said, nice to be back to be able to say all of that.
