Survey on VS

Like it or not, Witch, you have made a political statement. I won't debate whether your statement is correct, but I will dispute whether you chose the right method.
<snip>
You could, for example, simply make a statement that you object to certain opinions.
First of all Dizzy2, let me state that I have great respect for you.
Now, while I can't speak for Witch, it looks like it wasn't *opinions* she was objecting to, but the actions of the people. And I have to agree. If I'd had stuff hosted by VS, after seeing the behavior in the CEP thread I'd have to distance myself from that site as well. I expect people I associate with to be reasonably adult.
And as Inge found out, if you have a dog that bites, but has never bitten you, it's easy to ignore the problem. For a while. I sincerely hope you never get bitten yourself.

Inge:
Dizzy, I haven't been over to check for myself, but another thread here points out that you are indeed having your messages censored on your own VS forums. I read that in one of your messages you give a link to this site in order for your users to obtain some further information. That link has now been censored, presumably not by you. If this is true, it will be at least the second occasion to my knowledge that they have interfered with something you're trying to convey on your own forums, in spite of not breaking any stated site-wide rules. I hope you were informed by your hosts so that you had a chance edit the message to provide the information locally.

There are questions included about what you think of VS, the moderators, the site, the administrators. I was tempted to give bad marks but I thought of TJ and dizzy and bumped it up to Neutral, except for site administrators. :-\ I was mainly just curious because I really don't care to win anything. I don't use handheld gaming consoles.
Back to the post where this thread began... erm, or something.
I took the survey, and because I'm not a huge VS downloader anymore - I only joined shortly before JMP left, and his forum was where I was spending the majority of my time, I felt free to bag them and tell them what I thought. Not like I wanted their 'gift' anyway.
Now twojeffs is the ONLY reason I ever go back to that site, and I really wish he would up and leave it, too.

All I can say is that Witch has perfect right to do what she chooses in circumstances that were becoming untenable. And as it is not exactly an isolated example of immaturity, I feel she did the right thing too! It may be political, but if no-one makes a stand about these sort of issues others will get away with treating you (collective 'you') like a piece of shite the dog brought in. Surely people leaving a forum gets a message over, or is VS so obtuse as to not be able to understand? This is such a pile of crap, really, eh? I don't know what the answer to this nonsense is, but it feels like there should be a damn good mediator at times.
witch:
Interesting, had two emails today saying there were two private messages for me at VS. Full of curiosity I hastened to my inbox to find....
NOTHING
No messages, I mean no messages at all. None that I have received since being at VS and saved in my inbox. Zip, nada, nothing.
Must be a technical buttocks hitch.
