Deflect? You didn’t attack me with anything.
I left he administration, I wasn’t booted out. I left because I didn’t agree with the direction that the club was taking. I still don’t agree with it. There was no dishonesty on my part, and they’ll testify to that fact. While people may not have liked me, I did my job.
Dre left when the administration felt he was doing a poor job as the webmaster. Certain people applied pressure to him to get things done and he left. IIRC.
Nik? Nik left on his own accord long after I stopped being an aministrator. From what I remember we never really had any issues, aside from the point I’ll make in a bit.
Mercedes bought a Subaru, and strayed away from the club while I wasn’t even around. Thats right, she was still posting when I left for a exended period of time. She left because she wanted to go somewhere different, plus she’s busy working as a nurse IIRC.
All these folks did have something in common, which was they were against the idea of turning SON into a CASC certified club, that was more racing oriented. Along with you, they wanted this to remain exactly as it is now, a forum with a loose base around the 240sx, and not certified or more racing oriented. Basically what SON-R is now.
Long standing reputation of manipulation and coniving? You can’t be serious. I was one of the only guys that didn’t hold back when I had something to say. The administration had issues with me being a little too vocal at points, but we got through it without much issue.
You haven’t proven you operate in any sort of a professional manner, because you don’t. You never have. The only thing you’ve done that you can actually show us is the paypal account. This was only done recently as well, under the pressure of the two competing forums splitting the userbase.
If it was an easy switch over with no competition, nothing would have changed.
Our lies? Listen Ian has some strong words that I agree with when it comes to you. I know plenty of really good guys on this forum that feel the way I do about how you operate. Ironically enough they’re the same type of guys that are bright, well worded, come from all types of backgrounds and professions, and they see right through your sales pitch.
