I agree with most everything you have said and you said it well.......The Steve McQueen story does interest me.
However, Lapis was NOT the first moderator. There were many before him. He just liked to make everyone think he was first until he was asked exactly how long he was on Curezone and then he would be forced to tell the truth.
The decision to ban Lapis as a moderator was not the way you think. The "newbie" as you state, was NOT the first complaint. There were MANY complaints. Lapis had been given many chances. You have to know that the owner of Curezone is the most loving and caring person you will ever know and the decision he made was after many hours of worry and consulting with a LOT of people. A lot was involved that will never be made public. Spirit's decision was an extremely hard decision he made. Just know that it was fair to Lapis.
Owen is a peace loving man. I know him well. He will shy away from ANY conflict and, as big as Curezone is now, there is going to be conflict on a daily basis. He was asked to be a moderator many times and he would decline each time. He does not want to be in the spotlight. He does so much better in the background and is loved deeply by many people. Owen left MANY times before he left for good.
As far as the Curezone crash, it happened. We can't change it. It was an accident and we have ALL learned from it.
Just keep posting your informative posts. You help so many people and that's what Curezone is all about.
