I hope the mods will allow this to stay here as it does pertain to K&C area.

I have been informed today in an insulting pm that some people here including some of my friends from Australia have been complaining and accusing me of double standards, allow me to explain. When the idea of a K&C dio area was first muted I thought it would be better for the more frequent dio makers to have there own threads in the K&C area in which they could put all their dios, but I did agree that a designated area would be a good idea. Now this is where I made a GENUINE MISTAKE. Either because of my poor eyesight, not reading it properly or being drunk in charge, I misread Shannon's post on the K&C Dio thread . I THOUGHT IT SAID ' You can either post your dio's here or in the main K&C area' when it ACTUALLY SAID ' You can either post here or in the main DIORAMA thread' . This is the 100 % truth. So I posted my latest dio here in the normal K&C area, after quite a while Shannon asked me if I would mind if she moved it to which I replied no I don't mind at all.

I'm now told that I've been accused of double standards. This I find really quite annoying for two reasons A) I thought some of those who were so ' offended' might have had the grace to cut me some slack as this was my FOURTH diorama in around seven years , so compared to the guys who produce all the time my dio's are about as frequent as Haileys comet. B) Over the years I've always tried to show support to many many dio producers on here and give encouragement whenever possible. But what really got my goat, what really was pathetic was the suggestion that I thought my dio did not belong with all the others and deserved special treatment. If any of you really thought this you are 100% wrong.

Sad this happened.

Rob...

It was a top dio and belonged in the main section. I don't think its double standards but, some have to address their own part in this change to the thread as it was not needed. If some had not swamped the area none of this nonsense would be occuring. Seems strange that talk of double standards occurs when selfish has not been addressed.

Another day in toy soldier heaven!!!!! Now get on with the JU88 dio!!!!!

Just keep posting mate, wouldnt worry about it. Some people need thicker skin now days lol.
 
Rob- that you should have to explain that at all astounds me!
To all inhabitants of this forum:
IT IS JUST A TS FORUM! Come on! What is the big difference between two sections? I mean really- does it mean that much to you that you have to send Rob, probably one of the nicest and calmest guys on here, an insulting message? The fights I break up here at school are over worse transgressions- and they are between kids ranging from 12 to 18.

P.S. If something I wrote is too inflammatory, by all means delete it. Sorry if this offends anyone.
 
Rob,

We have a saying in this part of the world which would translate freely as: "envy kills"... Don't worry about such small matter, after all, there are either problem solvers or problem makers. You're part of the first, and those of the second, as the saying goes, don't stay around for very long...:wink2: I've been here for only 3 years, but if there are treefrogers who walk their talk, by a single standard, IMHO you are top among them!
 
perhaps someone will make a scene of little kids throwing their nazi dummies around and caption it '' zis Rob is getting all ze best treatment, unt it vill not be tolerated'' Heil all!!!! LOL

That's the most absurd thing I ever heard of Rob and you don't need to explain for anything! I fully agree with Sandor's comments. Have we gotten to the point here where we have become so regimented that people cry foul if it's not exactly in the right area. Jezz :rolleyes2:

As far as I'm concerned, what you did was a work of art, involving a lot of labor, thought and creativity. It bloody well deserved it's own area, not to mention forum.

I'm in your corner mate :)

Your mate,

Brad
 
Thanks guys, kind of you.

What really winds me up is that I understand some of those accusing me are friends, why on gods earth can't they write and say ' shouldn't you put this somewhere else Rob' ? Been a rubbish day today as I've been accused of other stuff too, been fuming all evening. Time to hit the ignore button and go calm down.

Odd thing is Rob were talking about a hobby that should bring you pleasure not all that rubbish . I can see why a lot of people don't most no more :(

Well, maybe they didn't say that to you Rob, but I bet they were thinking it. :tongue:

Just kidding, stiff upper lip mate and keep up the good work! ^&grin

Rob what a lot of rubbish my friend. This forum has changed over the years and not for the better. You should be able to put your dio's photos anywhere you like. I have not put any of my photo's in this new diorama area and if I have a picture to show and it has K&C in it it will be in the K&C main thread. If Treefrog what to move it it will be up to them. So chill down mate I still love you.Simmo.{sm4}
 
Rob.....If I may quote a little psuedo Latin....illegitimus non carborundum. which translated means...Oh maybe you had beter Google it youself i don""t want to get censored.

Rob,
"Including some of my friends from Australia have been complaining and accusing me of double standards" This statement casts a wide shadow and one which I take offence too. If you are going to make broad statements of this kind then you are bound to make more enemies than friends.

I just want to say that I was not one of the 'Australian friends' as Rob put it that sent him any pm's.....^&confuse

Nolite te illi spurii consumunt^&cool. Replace spurii with a synonym and that is the correct Latin form^&grin{sm4}.
Just for fun from a Latin "rivet" counter....
 
Wow, someone must have really taken a big crap in Rob's cereal as it sounds like he's getting a toy soldier Rodney King beating.

Ah, the beauty of text and internet as you can never really capture a persons tone.

Hope everyone can take a deep breathe and forgive the dedicated Rob for his toy soldier fopa(if you can even call it that).

Rob if you get too upset it helps to go outside and start screaming at random people until the police show up. Nothing can calm the nerves like a ride in the back of a cop car and just being outright loose in the lid.

Keep it silly.

Good idea^&grin{sm4}{bravo}}!

You have posted awesome dio's and it's all water off a ducks back mate. Like Chris says, go and have a scream outside but i would avoid yelling at random people as you might yell at the wrong person and he (or even she) could be a black belt or a crazy bugger on acid or something!!
