Sounds like there is quite a story here, but either way, thank you for modding the SDMB, Eutychus - I have really appreciated what you do. ---

Euty, you were a swell guy. Whatever this suspicious bit of hodunkin suspicery and misanthropia is, I hope it’ll blow over someday. Maybe hopefully. Here’s to luck you’re not being unduelly shafted. Take care, Eut. ---

Ask the man who has had a hiatus: They help a lot. Puts a lot of life back in perspective. Well, not BACK in for me, as it never was in perspective and still isn’t, but you know what I mean. ---

I would like to state that if relationships between the staff got “strained” in recent weeks, the fault lies NOT with **Euty** but with the rest of you. Apparently it is not possible for anyone in your administration to admit fault in their handling of the recent situation, even though in my opinion wrong was done. And, just to be clear, NOT by **Euty.** Apparently, it is NOT ALLOWED for an adminstrator who screwed up to admit it, apologize and allow us all to move on. (Well, Manny did it some time ago…of course, he is only a moderator, so maybe the “standards :rolleyes:” are different… and I can only assume he has more class than the person who couldn’t bring himself to do it.) This stinks and I am not going to sit here and pretend that it doesn’t. BTW, this is MY opinon, and I have had no dialogue with Euty or anyone else involved in the recent situation about this. I am angry…no, make that LIVID…all on my own. I didn’t need any dialogue with ANYONE to become so. I am quite literally having trouble believing that this is happening. And I am seriously questioning my involvement here if this is the way disputes are going to be handled. ---

By the way, if you all have any guts, you will make this “sticky” or put it in ATMB as a sticky. Both would be even better. You think if you let it die here you are going to escape the consequences of your actions? I don’t think so. ---

Euty, I hope your sabbatical is restful, and please know that you will be missed. Fairness and compassion are difficult to find amidst strong politics. Come back soon. ---

Sorry the fallout fell this particular way, **Euty**. Rest assured, whatever happens; whatever you decide; whatever else may arise – You have eternal friends at _Casa Dave-Guy_. And, yes, I think the sig is particularly necessary here.
