sorry i tried not to be too harsh. i guess it just happened :/ thanks for backing me up about diego i was worried ppl would attack me lol

my main goal in posting what i have is to open other peoples minds.

i think whether or not forgiveness should be granted to the "offenders" (lol) should be a well thought out decision. not just "apology? great. accepted."

i want everyone to see a different perspective because so far its all been sunshine and lollipops for the rule breakers. uncomfortable, though it may have been, they still have gotten off extremely lightly.

i think that should be re-thought. if after uve thought about it u still decide to forgive them, great. more power to u. just think about it.

unless something else comes up in this thread, im pretty sure this will be my last post... unless something comes up. lol

second chances are rare, so the staff members that were involved best be thankful and true..

i couldnt agree with you more.

second chances are so rare, in fact, that PFs biggest contributor didnt get one. count your blessings...

I can understand your loss of trust here, and because you say you're going to stick around (atleast to see if we delete your post, which we won't) I think you deserve to see a responce, especially one coming from a staff member. It is not cowardly of you at all to post anonymously, although I'm pretty sure I would say this to anyone else who shared the same opinions you do.

 

First of all, I really hope you don't take this the wrong way. I'm really sad to see you go over this because over the last 48 hours, I've seen this community pull through in a way that only PF knows. It has amazed me. I’m not going to argue your definition for what coming clean entails, but I did confess to what I said. Yes, it was after Diego posted the print screens, but it was something I did on my own. I’m sorry, I hope I don’t sound hostile or anything, but it’s hard to see you say something like that because this was not something I was forced to do. It was definitely hard for me, confessing every little thing I said and why I said it, which their was no excuse for, but I am sorry, and in no way was I forced to apologize. Up until yesterday, I wasn’t even sure what to think, but I had an idea. Yes, I’m sorry I got caught, but not so much for the sake of getting caught. I’m more sorry that people had to read that because it meant indirect upon undirect backtalk and that was very hurtful on my part.

look, im sorry.. but i dont call multiple, long time, huge posters, staff members leaving "pulling through". its more like "barely scraping through". u guys said some nasty things. some really nasty things. and to have everybody forgive u after just saying a simple "im sorry" is ridiculous. it may be good enough for some people but it isnt for me. i think u abused ur power. the private forum combined with how much power in the paramore community u guys have (or think u have) made u believe that u could say whatever u want about "regular fans". what u did was not a confession. u cant confess to something thats already out there for everyone to see. yes, u acknowledged that what u had said was wrong - because it was - and u apologised. but the fact that y'all are getting praised for "coming clean" disgusts me. especially since u have already stated that had diego not "outed" u would never have apologised or "come clean". my guess is u would've kept bashing forum members. i dont doubt u were upset over the whole situation when u said what u did but u should not have blatantly insulted people supporting diego just because u were mad at him. that was just childish.

PF boardies are handling this in a very mature manner... but in my opinion this issue should not be excused or forgotten about.

diego broke a rule. he was kicked. (yeah, yeah... there was more to it bla bla)

u guys break a rule that may not have to do with the band but it has to do with every single member of this forum... nothing... and nothing will happen!

unfair and unjust.

ok, so im posting this under a fake username so i wont get personally bashed for expressing my opinion...

ok, here goes.... **prepares self**

honestly, cant u guys see that nobody "came clean". coming clean would mean they confessed to what they had said. they didnt. they were exposed by diego, when meant they were FORCED to apologise. theyre not sorry for what they said. theyre sorry they got caught.

i dont see how i can ever return here after this loss in trust. i know i'll see you guys around the lj community or at a show or something. but not here.

i also just wanna say that if this post gets deleted i will be extremely (well, moreso then i already am) dissapointed in this site.

edit: i just wanna clarity... this IS NOT a bashing post. this is simply my opinion on the matter. i dont want this post to result in bashing of me or the staff. this is simply the way i see things. if u agree, ok. if not, thats ok too. also, id appreciate it if y'all could just ignore the fact that im posting anonymously. i know im a coward. and im definately willing to admit it.
