I reported the first WoS and either the mods ignored me, don't review reports or disagreed with my issue and didn't want to tell me so (mods: this was disappointing). So I dropped it after a couple of days of not hearing anything and assumed the mods disagreed with my assessment.
I haven't been happy with this forum lately. I take mini breaks from time to time and come back refreshed and ready to take part again. I'm nowhere near as involved as I was 15 years ago but I still care about CalgaryPuck. That's why I spoke up when I saw something I didn't like (the WoS). I hoped that either I could make a difference and it would change or stop. Instead I was made to feel that my opinion didn't matter and that I was insensitive and my opinion didn't matter.

And I told you at the start that I'd roll with whatever the mods decide (seemed reasonable, no?) and looks like they decided.
But then you proceeded to actively confront it everywhere, in every conversation I was involved in. It was getting a little excessive, Buff. And given that I don't think you were even on it, it was a little bit odd that you were rallying more than anybody whose comments were actually a part of it.
But your disdain was certainly noted.
The issue I had with your comments specifically was that you were phrasing it as if you were speaking for every one (using a lot of "we", etc.), which you weren't. That was your take on it, and it was completely valid don't get me wrong, but it counts for 1 vote a the end of the day.
Luckily for you though, it looks like you'll probably get your way. So those in opposition get to go home happy. So we don't really have to talk about it any more.
