I feel exactly the same way as you do.
It's a shame when you think someone is your friend but then realize they've been talking crap behind your back, then your only choice is to turn your back to them, unless you want to go around 2 faced which ain't my thing.
However, I do know how to forgive my "enemies" but that doesn't mean I'm going to be their friend. I'll be nice to them and treat them with respect, sure, but trusting that person don't come easy. But, hey, that's just me.
One thing I practice not doing at AllDeaf is siding up with another party (favorism) because they want me to believe they're right and the other person is wrong, or because they're my friends and I should "support" them. I'm sorry but that ain't happening. Don't hate me for that, I just believe that a moderator should try to remain neutral when dealing with conflicts between parties. It's sad that a lot of deaf forum administrators/moderators out there think otherwise, and they encourage threads/posts to make someone else look bad so they can make themselves look "good", or simply to attract attention to their forum. They claim it's freedom of speech, yea right. They are not leaders, they're puppets run by puppeteers.
Now, I expect all members to abide by the
Forum Rules. The
Forum Rules were created to keep AllDeaf under control and friendly as possible, just like we have a state Government, and they were not meant to be violated with. If you don't like it, that's fine, move on to a different forum. Every forum has their own rules. And if you noticed a member being banned or website being censored, that's because they violated you know what. For further information, please go to

As you can see, I stick with what I believe in. I'm not implying that I'm perfect, but I do try my best to be fair with everyone and make the right decisions around here. Like many members said in this thread, if there's something that needs to be resolved with another member, we encourage you to talk to them and try to resolve conflicts or misunderstandings yourselves. Otherwise, come to me or any of the moderators, and we'll do our jobs.
Enjoy your weekend.
