That is fair enough.

Not aware of your own guild's relationship with him but is there a personal agenda there colouring your posts? This thread was I believe started as a tribute to someone who a lot of people have a great deal of time for, and that some see it as an opportunity to "kick him when he's down" is just plain annoying.

I wouldn't have the faintest clue as to what kind of personal agenda I could have to 'colour' my posts. I don't really see my posts being coloured either, but merely based on my own experience. The stories about my guild's relationship with Iain I wish people would put to rest. For sure it (further) changed my opinion about Iain, but the image of TT wanting Iain's blood for banning me for 3 days is absolutely ridiculous; we really have better things to do.

This thread also isn't a tribute thread in my opinion. Another guy compared it to a 'going away party' for Iain and how it's completely off to say negative things about him. In my opnion this is a public topic on a public forum and people can share any opinion they have. What I find annoying is that some people just seem to forbid any criticism on Iain's work over the past few years.

I'll leave this as you told the people who were after Iain's blood to grow up, and not the people in this topic. I can only agree with you really.

Congrats on the new job Requiel!

Despite my view of your earlier work I honestly do wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year. I do hope you take note of my earlier pointers in where you have gone wrong and work on your weaknessess, or just work with games but not so close to customers, I think everyone knows your passionate for games but thats sadly not everything when it comes to working as a GM/CSR/PRdude. I think you have learnt alot though since you dont come across as stupid.

To some people in this thread, Jupitus (wtf man??) and even Roo among those.. calm down.. hmm? Its a goodbye to an old member of the community and you guys cant keep the lid on? Merry christmas to you guys aswell. You shouldnt behave in the manner you behave atm, I thought more of you guys, I honestly did, and still do. Just calm the F down will ya.. Have a beer, laugh alil, watch "what happens in vegas" and feel the love

Nevertheless Req managed to make a big mistake over that incident imo and I agree with the comment that said it hastened the end. Please do not assume it is only TT who have that view.

I know everyone has their own views, I simply think he was too stubborn for his own good and perhaps a little too focussed on one realm.

Having said that I do hope his new role is an enjoyable one - life is too short to be harbouring a mass of resentment.

Good luck in the future Req...
