This is to notify everybody that I am giving up the ownership of Advent Talk as well as being involved in any way with the administrative decisions of Advent Talk.

I pray that the new administration will moderate Advent Talk without any bias.

I did my best without success to try to see that the forums were moderated fairly towards all members of Advent Talk.

This is to notify everybody here that, although I am still presently a member there, my administrative relationship with Advent Talk has ended.

If Advent Talk becomes a free-for-all forum in relation to how things are discussed there, and the consequences or non-consequences of such, I will also be severing my membership there and disallowing any links to them.

Right now I will be lurking there more to see how things go there than anything else.

With my deep involvement in Advent Talk behind me, I will be focusing more of my time here in what I feel can be respectfully discussed in regards to the issues involving Danny Shelton/3ABN and Joy/Pickle.

Beginning November 5, 2008, with a post from a former AdventTalk administrator announcing a change in forum ownership, there have been intermittent posts on the forum that have indicated a need for further explanation of what actually took place.

It was noted that the former administrator has expressed some frustration with his inability to "fairly administrate" the forum.

Although it was attempted at the time to make the change in administration as smooth and noncontroversial as possible, it seems that controversy has resulted nonetheless, both on this forum and elsewhere.

Administrative problems surfaced months ago with the perceptions of some moderators that the administration was using an undesirable top-down method of dealing with staff that was inappropriate considering the level of professionalism as well as longterm church leadership positions that were represented by staff members.

Attempts to work out this discrepency was not dealt well with by administration; repeated attempts to improve the situation over an increasing number of months resulted in the situation worsening.

Adding to this problem was the criticism by administration that the moderators were biased in their moderating.

This was patently false, as can be seen if one goes back over the months and calculates the number of posts by 3ABN defenders that were insulting and inappropriate and went undisciplined compared to the number of AdventTalk supporter posts that expressed similarly critical and insulting comments.

When the problem finally reached an impasse, it was decided that a change of administration had become necessary so that order might be preserved on the forum.

The administrator was allowed to resign without recriminations being expressed publicly by the rest of the staff.

However, since the administrator felt the need to bring out criticisms of AdventTalk action and defenses for himself, it was determined that further explanations were needed, hence this post.

Please note that there is a forum rule against publicly discussing administrative actions.

Any questions regarding this post should be directed to administration by PM or email.

If nothing soon changes in relation to that post, I will begin by first relating the facts surrounding the facts about the purchase of the domain name and its actual ownership, etc., the account hosting it, the setting up of the admin team, etc.

In other words, I am planning to do this chronologically.

If they have the freedom as members of the present admin team to publically post confidential stuff, then I, as a former member of their admin team can do likewise.

Even though I feel I have given them enough time, I am not going to rush into this, as this isn't something that I want to do, I am giving them more time to do what they need to do.
