Back to Beauty's Kingdom Written on 29-Aug-2008 by CSIBeautyWell, FanNation is supposed to open tomorrow. *big sigh* I had been debating this site for a while now. So much drama has happened and it makes me question the leadership. Well they pushed me to a final decision. Why bother joining? The people running it have proven to be hypocrits and liars and everyone else (meaning some other mods - not giving names)? Mindless drones.
I once had great respect for the people in charge. And then one of them blew up. Well, I thought things were patched up and all that. Then I learn that I have been booted from being a Mod on the site. I hear this at random, and nobody was bothering to tell me about it. What!? Then there is a long discussion about whether or not this is true. Do these people even talk to each other? Well, whatever. I have made my decision and I am sticking too it.
I am not looking forward to it in the least. I don't like the people in charge and I am not wanting to deal with all of them.
I mean seriously, I am a mod one minute and then not the next. It would have at least been nice for someone to let me know that instead of hearing it at random. It doesn't matter. I'm not particularly interested in being a mod at that site anyway. How am I expected to work with people who I can't trust or even respect? As far as I'm concerned the site doesn't really exist in my book. The whole thing was blown out of proportion and people got involved who shouldn't have been involved. I had thought I worked things out with Daring, but apparently not. I don't like people who talk behind my back and act all friendly. That is not someone I want to work with. I've had enough of the liars and hypocrits in charge of this site.
To be perfectly honest, if I am being kicked out of being a mod for what had happend a while earlier I think all parties should be. Including Daring! If Me and another person (I will not name just incase she doesn't want to be) are losing that job for what we said, Daring should too. That would be fair. Anyway, I thought I would let people know that I do not intend to be on this site. You can catch me pretty much anywhere else.
As I have also said some of this in the Fanlib Refugee forums you might catch that there. I am tired of the liars I have had to deal with from day to day. Whether some people agree or not, this is my decision. I have too much to keep up with anyway and FanNation is the last place I want to go.

PS. If you have something mean to say, don't bother. That is what started all of this to begin with. People telling us we don't have a right to rant, well I am going to. Think of me how you want. I speak my mind and don't care what people think. True friends stand by you through everything and don't lie to you behind your back.

I figure I'll lurk for awhile before actually joining (if I even do). Maryilee being there gives me hope, so I'm not condemning it just yet. I mean, yeah, it's got some issues, and there are people I just plain don't like, but I figure if it's a place where *all* of us FL folks are, then it might be worth it.
Again, I'm not gonna join right away. I'm gonna just lurk for awhile and see how things go, maybe keep in contact with the people I *do* like and ask them how things are running and such.
I think you not being a mod is a bit lame. I mean, you didn't *do* anything in that *entire* situation, yet you still got pulled into it. It seems like just...well, kinda dumb. And, yeah, they should have discussed it with you instead of just scratching you off the list.
I feel very torn about this whole thing, because people I like will be there, helping run it and such, intermixed with people I don't, and so I'm gonna do that whole watching and waiting thing. Just to see...*hugs*

So this is how I discovered I lost my mod job. Hmm. Interesting. I was lied to, lied about, and made the villain in a situation that didn't exist. My friendships were strained, my emotions pretty much discarded by a certain person, and finally got an apology for the wrong done to me and I apologized (for...nothing, really, seeing as I did not do anything, but still, apologizing doesn't hurt).
Then I lost my mod job.
Funny.
I was honestly planning on turning down the job. But now I'm not even going to go to the site. I've had enough with the apparent liars that are in charge. I don't condemn all who have worked on the project. I wish them the best of luck. But I'm not going to be there.
Yes, FanNation, you DID just lose a published author as a member. Well done.

I missed all the excitement over this apparently! Only came in on the tail end apologies and resignation thingy. What actually happened? And was there an application list for the mod jobs on Fan Nation? I'm terribly uncool. Miss all the fun.

You will be missed.
I hope you will change your mind and join FanNation eventually. Being a moderator seem to a lot of work and who wants that anyways?
