From Lotus post #14 that I replied to.
From Lotus #16 I can reference this for you:
It's been stated by others as well but those are the ones I can easily find.
In regards to your question on my thoughts at the time, as I remember them now:

To add to that, yes I was terrified(and excited at the same time) to read what ye guys where all about. Absolutely. The waves of drama didn't discourage me at all. If anything it fascinated me that people were being assertive, didn't budge at what they felt was important. To see people being able to disagree and still respect each other, that was a new world to me. Completely different from the way people were "communicating" in the church, for instance.
Remember Paul and that Anon guy that were friends with AGP? Can't remember his name now, the thread about the e-meter in the water and all that? You think those threads scares people off? Or when pro techies were being ridiculed with the ensuing drama? Maybe. I disagree though.
What I would want, is that even if people disagree, that we treat each others with
respect and common indecency. I hope we can at least agree to that if we did that, we would all look nicer. That's hardly how things are looking at the moment. Is that purely Alanzos fault though? Not really. He is as disrespectful as others are, and have been.
I wanted to find a picture with two women mud-wrestling, but I couldn't find any good ones. So here it goes without a decent ending. I am very sorry about that and I do apologize for the lack of pictures to awaken the idea I have in my mind of all parties in this epic saga actually being covered knee deep in mud.
