This place has been degenerating for a few years and i hate the fact that this thread seems to imply that things have gone bad recently or because of two people, markham and i dont agree and havent before on race issue but my beliefs are my own, and if he had posted something i didnt like, i sure as hell know where the report button on that post is. Like some others who have left i have seen way too many good friends leave here because of the way this site has gone, nobody remembers them because they didnt do a thread but they left nonetheless and i miss them, it seems almost all the regular posters when i joined have left for much the same reason.
R has a great site here and i'm sorry it's not the place it used to be, i always saw this as THE place to be for a ML fan, hell i even brought a few new members here, but even they have left.
So imo Markham acted like an arse and used language that in my own personal opinion is not appropriate, but there are many other people on here that make this site uncomfortable to visit too.
This is my first post for quite some time and i realise it will probably be overlooked as crap, but i am getting more frustrated each time i read posts that have come from this whole situation.
Congratulations to Mike, i think you will be a good mod, to my knowledge you have been straight down the middle with most situations in the past, i hope you can keep that up as a mod.
Congratulations also Rj, you got your title of argumentative little ******* from me but i am glad to see that has now been removed and i hope to see you show the naysayers (including me, i have to be honest) wrong.
Good luck both of you, you will need it :)
