First off, I get what you and what others are saying, and I know I shouldn't have posted that much(I'm stubborn, Scottish, and Irish, what can I say?), and by the middle/end I was being a bit of a d*ck(personal life hasn't been very great lately, I know that it has nothing to do with this but it does seep in sometimes). I just want to point out a few things that I saw as differences from what pyxiwolf has mentioned, please don't take any offense at this post.
1. I have mentioned this already, but I did not see that there was anyone asking for sources in the forums, so from my perspective yugami had no idea that anyone wanted it.
2. if you were in yugami's position, seeing a thread made accusing you of a crime you may or may not have committed, would you really want to return to that community? Much less help them.
3. I completely understand the idea of having to put up with people, but I did that for my day job, I don't want to, and as you mentioned, don't have to do that for a hobby. If this were my day job I would put up with it fine, but this is not a company, this is a community.
4. Slander is not permitted in most first world, "civilized" communities, and I don't believe it should be here. We should be above that, and I know I did do some name-calling and childish cr*p, but /only/ after being tickled the wrong way when my posts were simply ignored.
Last thing I want to mention, even though it sounds cheesy I still believe it's right. You mention the world not working if we don't put up with people, but can you really say you would want to live in a world in which people don't defend their friends? Was I just supposed to let him slide this one under the rug? I know I'm not his mommy but what do you expect me to do?
EDIT: vicinc I'll take a look at them when I get some more time later on...
