I see this as an excessive step. Fedquip, I hope it will not be for too long.

Agreed, please don't leave for good.

Fed, thank you for doing the honourable thing in this matter, I respect that and I feel it speaks volumes of your integrity. I'm sorry if I had to come down hard on you tonight, I wish you much luck with your new job and your future endeavours.

(ravens)My sentiments exactly mate-you dropped a pair fast and furious, with good intentions/grand delusions.....take it with the grain that it is, get on yer neighbor's computer, (cause yer aschmoozin' bastard like me), and start a new guy-better luck this time


I still couldn't bring myself to banning you.....yer' too sexy-

What Raven said. Thanks for taking the initiative and stepping out.

We'll have to see what the future may bring.

I commend you for recognizing an obvious climate. Good luck as you take your work elsewhere.

I think you're jumping into this a bit quickly. The matter is still being debated, and both Dag and James have pointed out some points in defense of your actions. (As have several other sifters.) I'd wait a bit on this in case a better solution is found. Something that everybody would agree on.

"Don't worry little brother....there are more!!"

Have a sleep on it guys, and let's chalk it up as a family spat. Fed, don't feel you have to bow out the community now, no one wants that. This sifter won't vote bannation. You're doing the right thing in dismantling the collective.

If Fed removed the links to his blog from his posts, his sifts should stay imo.

I hope that you return Jeff. You will be missed here.

"I see this as an excessive step. Fedquip, I hope it will not be for too long."

I agree - I personally feel that removing the offending videos would have been sufficient punishment

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I feel I should apologize as well for making the original post solicting people's view on the earlier call-outs.

I thought it would be better to get things out in the open and let people speak their minds to defuse things- but it kind of spun out of control, didn't it?

The siftquisition has dissolved into a lovefest...how funny.

let's all have a group hug... and be thankful that this isn't youtube.

Damn. Now look what you've all done. The incredible fedquip is changing clothes again! I can't keep up! What URL should I use for you now, Jeff? Can you like SMS me every time you take yourself to a new place?

All this reminds of my bitter old aunts. One minute they'll be howling at each other like feral strays...then embracing in tears the next. True comedy.

i missed it.

now i could do some fun images such as:
i post.
you posted.

but i'm lazy.

So I assume all will continue in a merry fashion now, yes? There's no reason to leave the Sift, but thank you for taking the rules as they stand seriously now that it all came to light and was made clear.
