Michael, I wasn't going to get involved in this further insanity until I saw this. The opening of the other forum wasn't to take users from here, but it was to offer a space to individuals who felt disrespected by you. Whomever was contacted by me had expressed interest in finding another place to discuss parrot related topics.
I had even gone so far as to offer you a
personal apology for whatever role I may have played in all of this nastiness. That said, the continued disrespect of individuals makes me seriously reconsider that apology.
I have nothing against you. I'm sure you're a perfectly lovely person in real life situations where you deal with people in a capacity that isn't just words on a screen. But going so far as to insinuate that others who do not agree with your view points stupid, lazy, or abusive was much too far for my personal tastes.
I've personally asked whomever I could not to attack you after I was contacted by PM in my forum by one of your moderators. I have the utmost respect for the individual who contacted me and she made some very valid points. You are a person with valid emotions and don't deserve the name calling, neither does anyone else, which you clearly haven't realized.
I wish you nothing but the best -- with your forum, your parrots, and your personal life. I can only hope you take a look at the way you treat people and realize that you too have some fault in the situation.
