I've noticed your messages being bounced as spam, so I thought it prudent
to let you know they were at least received. The issue has been corrected.
Apart from Bryce and myself, you can contact Mark at mark@mechahub.com if
you still have questions.
I could make this a huffy, officious denial, but there's really no point.
Since I expect you will not be looking for trouble, this is the last we
will have to do with each other, and while I rate you considerably lower
than pond scum I think even you deserve the truth.
The Hub exists to keep pictures from falling off the internet. I can
safely say that so long as your ego continues it's present astronomical
expansion there is no danger of your images being lost to the ether.
Second... We're tired, Eric. Tired of the rules-laden affectations of
sites like CSF, tired of watching Lugnet die like a crippled pet. Tired of
watching the myriad tendrils of officialdom and regulation EDIT [xxxx] up a good
fun hobby. But most of all, we're tired of you. So we left, and we didn't
ask you along. And not one of the builders we've contacted has asked for
you to be included. Some builders have even expressed gratitude that we
aren't including you. You will excuse me if I don't name names, but having
noted your frequent threats of violence and general mental instability I
think it prudent.
Bryce actually asked me to ban you from the IRC channel right off. I
talked him out of it, on the grounds that it sets a bad precedent. So you
have me to thank for that. You're welcome to come by anytime.
You've claimed that all you want is to be left alone. Kindly show us the
same courtesy. You can take that as an official request.
Sincerely,
Soren

I'm tired too and wish to simply build.
Do what you want, at least I know you all had it in you to develop.
Goodbye, good luck.

REQUEST:
To all who read this, please just let the issue die. Here are your answers, here
is the truth.
Let it go. This message serves to end the speculation.
I am tired of answering emails, I don't wish to be short with any of you, just
read this instead and do what you want with it. Just don't bother me or the
people at the Mechahub.
goodbye.
Eric Sophie

| Posting a private message publically without permission is rude and uncouth. You would be howling if I posted some of the things you've said to me. If I were more suspicious I'd say you're trawling for sympathy. As it is, I'm merely peeved. Soren (18 years ago, 19-Jun-06, to lugnet.people.support) !!

| Dear random people I don't know: This is not frontpage news. Why is it on my lugnet frontpage? I don't care about your useless bickering, I care about things like MOCs and important announcements. I don't believe your schoolyard squabbles fall into (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jun-06, to lugnet.people.support) !!
