For number two, I mean it as 'you asking Sapphire' for acceptance in.

The Bloody Nine invited me, and I accepted. It was an ok group for the time when I was in, I liked watching the popularity contest at the time and a few threads were ragelocked by Jay, which made me lol. Over the course of the ~2 months I was there. Harlow seemed to dislike me more and more over time, and Jay seemed to like me, so she delayed my booting. I was skeptical of Harlow's ideals. I didn't believe Sapphire could turn into a successful corporation. And I expressed this thought on Sapphire, and I guess minor criticisms "hurt" Sapphire, so Harlow didn't like it and booted me. I think he started to dislike me more and more it even after he booted me. I know he was particularly upset when I locked one of his threads in TFS. There were at least two other mods posting in the thread when I locked it. So he accused me of "bringing down the group" even though I provided my justification for locking by pointing out that the discussion was completely different than the discussion that the OP originally advocated. Apparently being a good mod and enforcing the rules brings down groups. He probably wouldn't have complained about it if it wasn't his thread. Now he has me muted. He can't read anything I post from now on, and I doubt he'll ever unmute until I join Sapphire; I'll probably won't anytime in the near future. As for Jay, I'm cool with her. If Harlow didn't exist and she was admin of the group, I'd consider joining again (I probably wouldn't have been kicked in the first place). But yeah, I don't affiliate myself as a member of Sapphire on this website, and I doubt that I will do so ever again since I keep hearing things about them finally going offsite. I really went too far into detail with this post, I could have answered this in less than ten words. But oh well, I'll click on Post and carry on with my day.
