So this is my second and final attempt at this. This is basically my farewell, my swansong. I had initially deleted my account thinking it would be unnecessary to need it again, but I guess this makes me the second coming!
I've no idea how long this post will remain up for peopple to read. Knowing how things like this generally go, probably not long. But I do this in the faith that the underlying message outweighs some of the negativity we're about to diuscuss, and maybe on that basis it is enough to keep it around long enough for the people I'm trying to reach to get a chance to read it.
Coincidentally it's one year afo (to the day) that I joined this community/forum. It's almost poetic that in one full calendar year, I sit in the same chair, at the same desk, on the same computer typing this out.
I'll openly admit I joined to broaden my horizons, I was in the midst of organising evets and wanted to extend the invitation. The thing is I've always been of the belief that it shouldn't matter what crew tag you wear, as long as your able to obey the golden rule; don't be a dick, you should be welcome. Whilst I never intended to join NoDo as a crew, I was more than happy to involve you guys in whatever I was organising and encourage others to do the same. I must say on the whole I've always felt welcome amongst your community and have had little issue when participating in your events, despite it being clear from day one where my allegiances fell.
I'd like to take this oppourtunity to personally thank everyone who has made my time here pleasant and hassle free and who have conducted themselves in the correct mannter - I'd be here until Monday typing out individual names. I don't want anyone one to get offended because I missed you out, but the majority of you know who you are.
A special thanks to Malice and equationunequal for allowing my participation in NoDo events.
A thanks to the hosts of said events DaSpekyLegend majorcopyright RJSlow JettaArts - for letting me partipate.
A thanks to the guys like Ishan CHILLI and weirdtwitter - for their continued help and discussions of what works and what doesn't when it comes to car setups.
A thanks you Evil_Tuinhek for letting me participate in the Fantasy Football League - apologies for the lack of notice but this will also be my withdrawal.
I guess by now you're probably wondering if it's all nice up to this part, why am I writing this - I will continue...
Whilst this community has majority of good stand out guys, there are of course a small minority who let the side down. I think it's fair to say every platform has them, however of what I've seen and heard Xbox One seems to be the most cancerous. You see a short read on Slack or five minutes in the wrong party will show you what these morons disguise as "banter" is in fact harassment, bullying, victimisation, humiliation and occasionally goes even further into racism.
It may also be known I have seen several screen grabs depicting the vile and disgusting behaviour that seems to go unnoticed. It has led to several people quitting the crew and even quitting the platform to get away from the shit that goes on.
Let it be know that guys like <removed - the original post was removed due to the "no naming and shaming policy" I'm not making the same mistake twice. Hopefully this will allow the post to remain. But let's be honest some of you already know who they are and if you don't go into the xb1 chat and they stick out like a sore thumb!> - who are the festering boils on the arse of this crew. How ironic that I am considered an elitist, when the truth is theses are the real elitists. Constantly bullying younger guys in what they consider to be fun. I naievely though following past incidents something would've been done already.
These cancerous tumours and their tyranny are the reason people leave NoDo and until someone steps up to the plate and does something about it, it will continue and it will be the death of this crew.
It may also be of interest that in the past few days this little group have turned their attentions to me - as far as I'm concerned, knock yourselves out kids! Let's be fair it's got to a stage where people are making rumours up in an attempt to stir shit up to get me kicked out - clutching at straws.
My message to you: as far as I care if you're talking about me, you're giving the other guys you normally victimise a break. You seem overly concerned that I am able to get screenshots and people telling me the shit you say. Rest east knowing I never have and never will have a slack account - it's cancer as far as I'm concerned and a force for people like you to prey on other guys. You seem hell bent on finding the mole who leaks this information to me. Allow me to let you into a little secret - there's more than one and my guess is you'll never discover them all!
Not to finish this on a sour note; I sincerely hope my words are not in vain. Thank you to those who've made my experience in this crew a pleasant one. I wish this crew all the best in it's future endecours.
