Some mods have 2 big of avatars and i dont think thats fair theyre like just lording their power over us to make the rest of us look/feel inferior. i mean they should just have the same sized avatars as the rest of us, what, are they special or something?

Nah I keep mine within the limits. The max size for me is 500 x 500 so i could take advantage of that if you like.

I think the fact GB didn't know has a lot to do with it, I'm pretty much sure if GB knew he would've left the nominations blank out of respect for Duce and I'm pretty sure GB has never seen eye to eye with Duce like the opinions members USED to have towards him. I think his death has had the hypocrites crawling out of the woodwork.

Honestly, this is a no win situation for me.

I didn't like him, I said I didn't like him, it turned out he had died. I blanked my nominations because I felt it would be in poor taste to keep them, and hypocritical to replace them with others.

That really should have been the end of it (And honestly, worse things have been said about him since by other members, but usually with some tacked on apology about how people "never saw eye to eye" with him but "wished they'd gotten to know him better"), but by having some kind of public debate over what I've said, what are you expecting?

As FETCHER said, I think a lot of people's sudden shifts in attitude towards him is incredibly hypocritical. And here, you're basically accusing me of not being able to form my own opinions. I could defend myself, but that would mean taking time to explain in specifics why I didn't like Howard.

In other words, well done, you've managed to take a potshot at me, knowing that I actually can't defend myself without taking shots at a dead man.

That's awfully presumptuous to assume that people suddenly shifted attitudes because of his death, how can you be for certain that people didn't always think that way? In light of what happened, we're focusing on the positives, nothing wrong with

Made a comment on him back in January of this year:

This really is getting ridiculous.

Look, not everyone got on well with Howard. What has happened isn't gonna change that and surely everyone is capable of recognising that GB isn't alone in that sense.

Given what has happened GB has, out of good taste in my opinion, removed certain comments he made around the time the news broke here and at least attempted to leave it at that and step away from it.

Bringing this crap up and berating him, arguing with him, and in many ways making him the scapegoat for saying things that many other people had said (and frankly were entitled to say if thats how they felt) over the last year or two is in much poorer taste than anything GB has said or done, in my opinion.

Can we please just drop this now and, unless you're Vegangelica, if anyone can prove to me that they have never made a negative comment about another member here, whether directly or indirectly, or whether it was deserved, undeserved or just an honest opinion shared then I will be very, very surprised.

If anyone else had said it they would have gotten a far more negative and aggressive response.
