Man, are you kidding me?! I don't even know what the hell to think about this. On the one hand, I think that Obi has been one of the best posters in the Star Wars forum for the past several months, whatever you think of the current state of that forum. But I always enjoy reading his posts, and I think many of you were totally out of line for giving him such a hard time in the Pearl Harbor thread. Guy expresses a viewpoint and people act like a bunch of idiots (and not in the fun and happy way that I'm used to). But I really don't want to see him leave.
On the other hand, I really wish he hadn't made this "YAGE" thread. Not only does it draw more ridicule, I really don't agree with it. It seems an uncharacteristic move for him, and I think that it's completely sad to throw away several months of community just because of one bad experience in a thread.
EDIT: And Shim. If I recall, Sean posted a similar thread recently, and I would definitely consider him one from the "good ol' days."

gaffer ol buddy you misinterpret me. i was refering to the fact that people on this forum are driving away people, good people, and for what a few jokes. that never happened in the good old days. espeically people like Obi who seems like a good poster.
p.s. the good old days were way way back when i was still around 2000 posts. before ep3 came out, pretty much. so like 2003, 2004 that was before seans time too i beleive. i am refering to the times when it was me, bossk, dayv, gundark, luke, rebel, (warbler may have been around) trooper, and so on.
