I was fairly new to THR, having joined in January 2008, when this happened. I knew nothing of the politics behind the scenes but I understood that Oleg owned the site. <BR/><BR/>In one thread, Oleg was mentioned and another member asked who Oleg was. There were probably a dozen or more replies stating that Oleg was our host and the owner of the site. No one challenged that. Not any of the honorless mods who stayed behind and not Derek. Oleg's ownership was unchallenged and is, in my mind, without question.<BR/><BR/>I have not been back to THR since this came up until today and I only looked for information about whether or not this had been settled. I won't support a thief and I just do not understand how any moderator or member can stomach using the forums now and still sleep at night. This is a question of right and wrong. How can one take a stand in support of the 2nd Amendment to The Constitution of The United States and then sell their souls for the entertainment value they get from THR.<BR/><BR/>I had hoped this would be settled by now but since it is not, then it is clear that we need to give our financial support along with our moral support. Pass on to Oleg that my donation of not much but truly more than I can afford - because this is that important - is on the way.<BR/><BR/>dalepres on THR, Levant on APS.Dale Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457231478065221255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-38611849399942912092008-09-29T19:02:00.000-05:002008-09-29T19:02:00.000-05:00Well Said Peter.Well Said Peter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-57962024226589093472008-09-29T15:36:00.000-05:002008-09-29T15:36:00.000-05:00Peter,That's clear as a bell and very straightforw...Peter,<BR/><BR/>That's clear as a bell and very straightforward.<BR/><BR/>After seeing what John Shirley wrote in your former posting about this, I'll be glad to see that guy kicked out the door when the THR matter is resolved.

Others - good people all - have chosen to withdraw from THR already, because they're so disgusted with the situation overall. I'm very sorry they've done so, but I can understand how they feel.<BR/><BR/>There'll be a great deal to work through among the Staff in due course. I'm pretty sure that the moderators and administrators who continue to serve THR will be a fine bunch of men and women.

At this point, I don't trust more than a few moderators, as I know some have sided with the thief and others simply sit idly by. Why would I want to contribute (not that what I say is of high value, but still) when I suspect that some of the moderators are untrustworthy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-89098779165584325422008-09-29T12:43:00.000-05:002008-09-29T12:43:00.000-05:00Let me also add my thanks, if I have not done so a...Let me also add my thanks, if I have not done so already, for your cool-headed and rational analysis of events at THR. <BR/><BR/>Theft <B>is</B> tacky, after all...and tends to undermine the social fabric, as you so graciously point out.<BR/><BR/>Thank you also for your phone calls and communications to former colleagues still serving in law enforcement, as I believe their involvement is both merited and may persuade certain individuals that while fun is fun, when the feds show up, it ain't fun no more.<BR/><BR/>Best of wishes,<BR/><BR/>GCGay_Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829842245704692674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-60326430170121858652008-09-29T11:40:00.000-05:002008-09-29T11:40:00.000-05:00Further info on Derek's criminal behavior in other...Further info on Derek's criminal behavior in other, previous cases -http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum65/16587.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-37489406473374979902008-09-29T09:04:00.000-05:002008-09-29T09:04:00.000-05:00Peter, thanks for clearing away all the ancillary ...Peter, thanks for clearing away all the ancillary noise that attaches to this issue.
