Response to Mike

[pelly]

I explained that the reply I sent you was from HardOCP. Had you bothered to read it, you would have realized that it wasn't even related to our previous e-mail discussions.

That is the problem I am addressing...why drag other people into a dispute you have when they have nothing to do with it?

Nobody from nV News responded to my initial email about the article to tell me that you forbid linking to HardOCP. Instead, it was just ignored...That it an event I take issue with...

After I emailed you asking whether HardOCP links were no longer posted, you DID reply saying that you would post it later. I was very pleased to hear that as I had hoped for an outcome such as this. One part you conveniently left out though Mike...you then respond later saying that my quick blurb in the General Hardware forum is more than enough and that you would not post the link...

Those who have known me over the years know my reputation and know the type of person I am. I have never had any issues with anyone in the industry...and have always done my best to remain fair and neutral when necessary.

I'll be sure to watch how long this thread remains open...convenient how my initial "farewell" thread is locked... ;)

Isn't one (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4815&highlight=goodbye+pelly) enough? :p

Can I just say that:

1/ I am female
2/ I am gay
3/ I love being a gay female

That's as far as I will ever go on these issues. :)

Can I just say that:

1/ K.I.L.E.R has issues
2/ K.I.L.E.R needs psychiatric treatment
3/ K.I.L.E.R must sent this treatment immediately!

That's as far as I will ever go into the issues inside his head :eek2:

:p

[poursoul]

i am not saying that i can read between the lines better than anyone else, but there is just too much unnecessary tension between you and mike right now. Both of you should calm down. Talk to eachother not the world.





















in before the lock. ;)

[nin_fragile14]

This should be kept between you and Mike now.

[vampireuk]

Come on Pelly, this should be between you and Mike. If you have to do this do it by Email or PM.:(

I don't see what pelly is doing as being any differant from what the Envynews crew did. They were very vocal about their breakups, and it got everyone's panties in a bunch. Now pelly wants to put something out into the air, and its unfashionable?

If anything, it should have ALL stayed behind the scenes. But it saw the light of day, and it might as well keep coming until its finally purged.

EDIT : Just to clarify, I do think airing dirty laundry is the last thing someone should do. I'm just saying that when someone (or a group of someones) decide to put it out, there is no use ignoring it. It's the whole "White Elephant" situation.

[Kruno]

Why can't we all just be friends?

Pelly & Mike: Why not forget about the whole thing and start a new?

[pelly]

Honestly, I thought everything was fine...though I was completely blown-away by the fact that nobody was going to take 5 sec to write back to me and give me a heads-up on the whole HardOCP issue. I figured that multiple years and a few thousand posts would have earned me a 10sec email to let me know that my article couldn't be posted...Then, Mike decides that a quick post in the general forum is more than adequate...a bit of an insult in my opinion...

In the end, it is just the final quarter of a game I didn't ever want to play...All the conflict...the high-school drama...is just too much for me to deal with. I am in this industry for one reason and that is to report and review computer hardware. When something gets in the way of that simple objective...it needs to be dealt with...Consider my leaving the forums my way of dealing with this conflict in the most effective manner...

Hopefully, people will at least try to understand where I'm coming from in this situation...Best wishes for everyone here...I hope to run into many of you somewhere along the way...

Take care guys...

Sean :D

[volt]

I did email you. Not after you mailed us the article because I wasn't even home. I replied to your second email as I received both at once :)

[pelly]

True...Volt did email me...and that was very much appreciated...I know that it is unreasonable to expect everyone to respond...though out of the number of people who gets mail from news@nvnews.net ( especially now after adding so many people ) I don't think expecting one response out of the group is asking too much.

Volt, you have always been a class-act and will be missed...thanks for all you've done and best of luck in the future...

[volt]

I appreciate :)
Will see you around, no worries :D

[digitalwanderer]

..I thought I'd best put in my two cents too!

[h]=nazi forum mods, I don't go there.

Other than that, I'd recomend you two work this out off the boards...that's sort of what PM is for. (I hate it when staff fights, it takes all the fun out of it. :bleh: )


Hey, I may be a low-class trouble maker around here at times.....but at least I don't fight with the guys I work with on our own forum. It really ain't apprapo for here, and I usually mark points off against the party that keeps trying to pull it public.

It's a private issue, try and keep it so.

[Kruno]

[h]=nazi forum mods, I don't go there.

I noticed how they don't accept any more people registering there.

During that time, there really were no mods.

[Shinri Hikari]

Does that excuse anyone to cover up what is going on now? If it is as bad as pelly says it is than this seems the only appropriate avenue left, would you take that from him?
BTW Pelly, I am sorry I could not get to know you better here.:bye: From what I know, your :cool2:.

[nin_fragile14]

We are not trying to cover it up, it's a matter of containing people from taking sides and leaving the board for something that never involved them in the first place.

[pelly]

In much the same way I should have not been dragged into all this...I thought Mike ( and many others here at nV ) would have treated me the same way they had over the years I was here...and not suddenly ignored me because I work with Kyle...

that was private and so is this. memory would serve well to note that the other thread was locked too eventually, as it obviously got out of hand, and ended up in at least one ban.

as has been noted earlier the mods were the people leaving, so there was really no one to do any damage containment. you can't expect us to be at our computers 24/7 ;)

and pelly already made a big fuss when he left around the same time as the Envynews crew, only to return...only to make another fuss.

[Matthyahuw]

I'd just like to point out, we didn't air dirty laundry, we just said we've been asked to leave, and we said our goodbyes...even thanked Mike for the time we spent here...

[Kruno]

Speak for yourself. ;)
Oh wait, I'm not a mod and you were speaking about humans ;) :p :D

Spot on, brotha. :afro:

Actually, I wasn't asked to leave. I abandoned my responsibilities of my own volition.

[pelly]

I left as a member of the review/news team...NOT as a member of the community here in the forums...and no fuss was made...

:rolleyes:
