Yikes. That's not a very cool way to speak of the former mods of Jetsowner... I think a lot of us knew that the switch to the Freep forum was not going to go over well with a large segment of the Jetsowner followers. This is a good site! TUP I could not agree more. A very poor first post insulting an ex-Jetsowner member, and plugging your unpopular Free press forum. Why not just be the better man, and say hello? Gordon Sinclair already wrote a good piece on your charity. Why give ammo to your dissenters? All he is saying is that the Free Press has professional moderators on staff that get rid of the riffraff so that he (and Alex) no longer have to. He wasn't calling the moderators at jetsowner riffraff or disparaging them. Way to make him feel welcome, guys.

I believe the over moderation of the WFP Jets forum was the sole reason it never attracted a large following. I'm not sure if the same people who moderate the Free Press news commentary are the same people who regulate the Jetstream forum, but if so I can see why Jets fans have been reluctant to sign up and post.

Possible because in one page of thread I've already seen two members SOMEHOW misinterpret me bashing my old mods, heard my forum sucks, been accused of plugging JetStream (even though I clearly state if you choose not to, just be sure to come say hi at a Jets game), been accused of having douchbags at JetStream (many of which btw are members here as well) and been told I am inferior. This from members of a forum that branched off what was started in 2003 by...yes...me.
It is a tad insulting after simply posting with a friendly hello with no "plugging" whatsoever.
Think I'll roll back to JetStream. Again, best of luck and have fun.

However, there are some here who have a bone to pick with DF and will find any reason to grind that axe. I still remember a great thread in the dying days of JO directed to DF only... Can we not let that BS rest already?

I could be wrong, but I have not seen many posts basing you or the Jetstream forum.

We've said Darren's welcome here, and of course he is. Anyone who has past grievances (I'm well aware where they exist even if I don't know exactly why the seem to run so deep with some), hopefully you've gotten them off your chest once and for all. As we have made it clear from Day 1...personal attacks are off base.

In my opinion I think Jets fans are just a bit testy these day with only 2 wins and a top line that is playing like a very poor 4th line. No road wins and embarking on a 7 game road trip can get the best of everyone's emotions. If only some of the Jets players were this passionate when they hit the ice!

The bone to pick is from a handful of people who for years made fun of me (hence us) and could laugh and hide in the shadows. Once it happened, all the sudden I was "smug" and "egotistical" simply because I (hence we) were right and had media praising us now. There are jealous people out there and when it became safe to believe, they all the sudden said they had believed all along and only took 6 months of rhetoric into consideration, forgetting all the work done the 7.5 years before hand. They weren't there for that. They were the guys calling us dreamers and a joke.
These people are pathetic and at the very least could take the classy road and just say "hey, you guys were right, sorry I blasted you about it, can I buy you a beer and Go Jets Go". Instead they bash the Jets 2.0, the Moose and are stuck in 1988.
But no, instead they have to sift through anything they can to find phoney faults. The best one being a bogus charity. Haha, even though I am working with True North themselves and WASAC and any number of other highly regarded people. We'll see how far these people get in life treating people like that. These people make up quotes of things I never said or in a context I never meant. And they do it on purpose because they hate everything in their life.
Too bad, not my problem.
These people represent 2% of the population. But unfortunately they get the same voice the rest of us do. I'd hate to think some of them exist here. These people have never met me and cannot judge me. I did everything I did out of a love for this city and a love for NHL hockey. Nothing more, nothing less. Anythng else people perceive as true is their own issue. They look silly.
Anyone who has ever met me knows this. That I can gaurantee.
I don't need to be stroked. But I surely don't need to be creepily cyber stalked by these few individuals. It is disturbing.
I know who the good folks are on this board, they are same good folks who were a part of ROTJ boards for years and whom I NEVER had a single issue with. I hope you can be correct about things in the future without being hounded by jealous maniacs at every turn.
DKehler, Ric O, WPGisNHL, DBP, Jaf (and many many more)...you know who you are . Hold on tight friends.
I'm gonna do my thing in peace (hopefully). We'll see how it all goes with regards to my time etc. But I am not going to come here if it stirs some guys up for whatever reason (I'll never know).
Over and out!

I don't see how he is prolonging past grudges. He dropped in to say hello and I, for one, appreciate that. Several others have mentioned their forums/sites as well. No biggie.

OK, I'm following twitter and another forum; WRT one poster, and all this is just to coincidental. Someone is just trying to stir the pot. dk, PM inbound (tomorrow maybe, I'm tired now)

Biff, I couldn't agree more, but if you re-read my initial post, it was as friendly and non-confrontational as I know how. So my question to you would be why, when I come to say hi to the old crew, am I accused of half a dozen things within 20min?
I merely intended to post once and say hi and off I go.

Nice to see you pop in Darren. I never really saw why people had issues with you, even near the end of JO. I've met you in person and you seem like a nice guy. Wouldn't mind seeing you here often. Thanks again for creating a very unique internet community. You're always welcome here in my books.

It certainly matches his writing style.
