I do wish to
say that I joined this board because Keiva highly recommended it, and because he spoke highly of you all.
Keiva is a passionate individual - and it seems he may have simply had his buttons pushed beyond his limit.

Really? Well this should open your eyes. I have been staying away from the board for a while for various reasons but an email received this morning awakened me to the latest problems on the board. As much as I abhor and protest against the publication of personal messages and email I have decided to publish, in full, a complete, unabridged and unsolicited PM I received from Keiva after a particularly nasty incident last August. I have never PM'd Keiva nor have I ever responded to him and yet he comes up with the following flaming words of his own accord. That, my dears, is a true sign of an irrational mind and one which is, if only in my humble opinion, in need of some serious mental help. Clearly he was intent only on destroying the board from day 1 and he has been touting for potential apprentices ever since. He seems, clearly, to have found some over the past few months.

All emphasis is as it was in the original PM.

Quote begins:

Rubrick, don't leave just yet.
I'm newer than you -- and I agree with you in spades -- and I intend to give them hell!

Work with me -- or at least, watch, grin, and see what develops.

Please send me a PM, to let me know you got this before you departed into the mists.

End quote.

Nobody was pushing his buttons back in late August when he sent me this.

I come here for words, fun and interaction with a knowledgeable, intelligent international community. I certainly didn't come here to bash others on the board but if you want to call me a Keiva-basher, then so be it. However, by supplying what Mr. Keiva values so highly, I think the facts speak for themselves.

FYI, I never perceive anyone as being a clone of anyone else on the board. We may all be influenced by others but I believe the individuality still remains. However, I must say that I, amongst many, have had quite enough of the distructive methods of Keiva and do not wish to view his hurtful, spiteful, belligerent words on this forum again.
