In Jordan's defense, I'd have probably PMed him about this instead of dragging it out onto the board. A quiet behind the scenes reprimand followed by a PMed apology from Jordan to the three of you would have probably been more appropriate. JUST SAYIN!

Pretty much what Brandon said. If this were the case, I probably wouldn't have minded as much because I'd understand why. But open warfare so to speak just makes it seem a little more petty than what it really is.

Firstly, this was not expressed via PM because it affected more than just me, to not say anything would be like I condone no-existant matches.
This was never 'warfare' or an attempt to 'bloody ostracise' anyone. It was just me doing what so many others have done publicy before, showing disappointment in their own match.
Am I not allowed to do this just because I run this place?
I personally think that given I have contributed more, in terms of word count, than anyone else in the fed, I have the right to occasionally air my views, which I do very rarely.
Also if I say nothing others may think it's acceptable to volunteer for a match and deliver something like that. It is not. We'd rather we were told time commitments have got in the way, and an actual match will not be doable.
Just bear in mind I work close to fifty hours each week, barely see my g/f who as you should all know despises this place, and despite this I still manage to at least provide mediocrity. I have been up until 5am in the morning writing shows to ensure they are on time. So yeah, I'm sorry if I expect some respect and commitment from match writers.
I will also acknowledge that I often write Robcaps, but I hope they still have at least a lil' relevance to what's going on, and I hope it's accepted they are better than continuously delayed results.
I will say sorry for suggesting the segs were wrote instead of my match, but that is exactly what my match said was the reason for the lack of effort. Still doesn't explain why a second match was volunteered for if mine could only be given a few lines. But whatever, this all seems full of contradictions.
If anyone has a real problem with my views, I'm afraid I have got beyond caring. I have given more to most people here than vice versa, I have been on the receiving end of many bitchy comments, and have bitten my tongue on a range of occassions and issues. So now that it seems a few people are annoyed or in disagreement at me for going on record to state my match was below what is expected, well that has put me in a worse mood than before.
But i will get over it, this IS just a game. But for some of us it's also like an unpaid, under-appreciated, part-time job...so bare with us when we snap.
