DS said :"Let me state that JWR was kept in the air for eight years by a small group of admins. It was a tough decision, as we see the support JWR has offered to many, but we all really reached the breaking point were we want to leave everything JW related behind us and move on with our lives. We had some discussion among the admin group and felt it was time to bow out."
"The perceived sudden closure is thus not so sudden, but had been brewing for quite a while."
(It was sudden for US.)
"I understand the sudden cut-off may not be elegant, but we contemplated on a lot of fall-out, if we had made an announcement well ahead of time."
(In other words : 'Let's just pull the plug, that way we don't have to deal with anything...)
"This was the group decision of all admins and moderators."
(I thought MickeyMouse said she had no part in the decision, that you were determined to do it this way despite her plea to give us a little time to prepare ...Which is it? You all agreed, or you did not.I guess maybe she reluctantly agreed out of loyalty to Rifter and DS.)
I liked you DS, but your own selfish part in the closing down of JWR has made me see you differently. Total loss of fellow feeling and respect for you. Back peddle if you want...It's not helping. If you were truly the intelligent helper you seemed to be, you would have given us more consideration during your support of Rifter's decision. All of the help and support you may have been a party to now seems null and void to me after knowing you supported unplugging people who are vulnerable, scared, and thought they had found help.
Why bother posting anything else and staying until the end of the month? You've said enough already...
TB-
