Matt Sullivan Leaving The Pack

[MattSullivan]

OK. I have absoloutely HAD IT with this place. As of this moment, I am choosing to disassociate myself with THE PACK. I'll be clearing out the CL forum, and do not intend to return OR post here ever again. WHY?

1. I've had it with the accusations of me being a hate monger because I have different views than the rest of you.

2. I'm tired of being labeled a "furry basher" .

3. I am tired of writing a simple harmless response to a forum topic, only to have someone take it TOTALLY out of context, put words in my mouth, and insist I'm trying to start a fight. I HAVE NEVER ONCE CALLED OUT ANYONE BY NAME! If anything, up to this point, I have acted with calm restraint

Freeborn sucks. Yes, your "Holy Grail" of werewolf movies is the worst example of screenwriting I've ever read. It's a transformation eye-candy movie with no semblance of story or character, thanks to YOU! If Anthony didn't spend so much time taking advice from fans, he no doubt would have written a much tighter script. And I hate to say it, because Anthony is a real nice and generous person. But you people need a wake up call, one way or another.

To those of you who've been considerate, I'll miss you. To everyone else........whatever. I doubt i'll be missed, but then, i don't care anymore.

Turning it around and making personal attacks against people is against the forum TOS. I can see you aren't intent on staying here with us. I leave it up to the other admins and mods as to what will happen as a result of this outburst. I'm your friend in person, and my decision is biased. I don't have the heart to ban or suspend you, but dont think for a moment that what you posted here is right. Original version of this post copied and pasted into the Moderator section for review.

I am leaving a slightly edited version of this up and locking the thread to avoid unneeded additional slander. Matt, you dissapoint me that you couldn't leave in a more gracful fashion. I too have beef with some members here, but I don't explode over it. You should just brush aside the drama people make around you, and ignore those that want to turn what you say into a drama fest. You make valid points... which i think we SEROUSLY need to look at and evaluate ourselves with to see if what you say may be effecting other members as well on different levels. It's been mostly unspoken until now.

You were here for as long as you were because you DID NOT break the rules. Brutal honesty and harsh opinions, as much as everyone hates it, is not against the rules here. If you read the Terms of Service everyone signs, you will find that it mostly outlaws direct personal slander and attacks on people. You do have some issues with toneing down the way you present your opinions so they aren't border-line insulting, or even flat out insulting to others. Having some sense of respect towards the opposing party is good manners. You know me Matt, and trust me when I say, sometimes you don't come across as respecting those whom you are speaking to. Even if you don't, it's better to fake it rather than be hated. That's my only advice.

In my opinion of this situation, it takes two to tango. A little bit of both sides made this drama what it was.
I'm sorry to see you do this Matt. I'll stay in touch at least. I know how different you are in person.

I'll unlock this thread if I get enough requests to do so for GOOD reasons. If any of you want to post things directed at Matt, PM them.
