I’m going to say sorry, even though I feel it’s not enough. I’m sorry for what took place.

I believe in being honest, so I’m going to be honest. EJLiason has asked numerous times that she be banned. She has claimed in public that she had been banned at RTN, which obviously tonight proved otherwise.

I’m going to address a few of her statements just to put things to rest.

Characters are allowed to be bashed because they are fictional people. The rules state that actors and actresses not be bashed and the staff does its best to maintain that rule. We actually take care of it off the board to keep the peace. As for the writers, despite what we say or do people are going to dislike the writers and there’s no way to clamp down on that because let’s face it the show hasn’t even been in the realm of tolerable for some time now. It’s something we let go because people do need a place to vent.

As for EJLiason’s fanfiction, Christy did not delete the fics off Beautiful Memoirs. Since you said you hated this site and everything we and it stand for, and asked us to delete your fics, we removed your stories from the archive. This was a decision that was made before it was decided that Beautiful Memoir would be open to all sites with Christy overseeing it. RTN isn't in charge of Beautiful Memoir's anymore. It's an affiliated board that we are allowed to use as our archiving space. Anyone can post stories there now and it has become popular with other liason boards.

As for us not being “real Liason fans”, 99% of the people on this board, along with the staff, have lives outside of a fictional soap opera couple and a website about them. We are allowed to not like the characters and the story lines they’re in and complain about it when the mood strikes us. So what if we don’t watch the show? That is our form of protest. Give us something good to watch and we’ll return, boosting your ratings so that you can charge your advertisers more money. See how that works? Also, let’s not forget that there are recaps, clips, etc that everyone uses as resources to keep track of the show, so in some sense GH still has an audience.

If anyone else wonders why we haven’t announced who we really our, I give you the last few pages of this thread as exhibit A.

Really we try our best to accommodate people and sometimes we’re late, but at the end of the day we have spent just as many hours as anyone else on the board. The one thing we haven’t accommodated with yet is banning EJLiason fan. It’s a request we chose not to grant. We provided her with information to remove her membership at RTN and she has always had the power to not visit, but that’s just how we looked at it.

Honestly, if anyone has any complaints please just PM us instead of making it an open discussion at the board and disrupting a thread with a specific purpose. Really, we’re not evil people. We’re actually really nice if I say so myself.  

Again, I’m really sorry. If there’s anyone to blame, I kind of cracked open the can of worms with my opening post of this thread, so it’s on me.

Now, I’m going to let everyone get back to the business of discussing spoilers and trying to go back to normal.
