So to everyone who might care, I'm leaving LPF immediately.
I made a tiny error with the best intentions, and two people who contribute the least actual laser-related information here (niko, Tech Junkie) decided it would be a good idea to give me a bunch of crap about it.
I've done my best to contribute as much good, relevant information here as I could, but apparently that is all meaningless if you happen to send a package to the wrong place on accident (the first such occurrence for me since I've been here), apologize repeatedly, and offer to pay to correct the problem. Somehow after all that I'm still the one who's wrong. The idea of saying "oh well, EF is a good, decent member so we'll let him slide on this one small thing" apparently isn't an option.
Lately this forum has been nothing but bullshit and I have the knowledge and resources to carry on with lasers on my own (in fact, I had that knowledge before I ever came here). There are other places where I would be far more appreciated for contributing and helping others.
Best of luck to you all.
I will PM my email address to a few folks, and I will post it in the veterans section for anyone who cares.
And niko, what is it you do here anyways, exactly? You don't talk about lasers much, and you just built your first one a couple months ago after having been here for 2 years.. You've surely got TONS of laser-related knowledge to share. Maybe you should start sharing it instead of "moderating" people who have nothing but the best intentions. Maybe save that crap for the people who deserve it.
Tech Junkie.. well, there's nothing to say that everyone here doesn't already know.
EDIT: IF you want to know both sides, check the veterans section in the "junk box" thread.
Eventually, there's just too much bullshit. It's not just this occurrence, but rather a buildup of things over time. This is the the straw that broke the camels back.
It is no longer worth my time to be here. This is not an over-reaction, it is simple fact.
