Just wanna say that I want to apologise on the behalf of Derek Smart, because lord knows he's incapable of right from wrong.

I'm also sorry I wasn't here to catch it and take care of it soon enough. This was a group not intended for his activity. If he intends on making his case, he better have those lawyers he's talking about. Already talked to local media about him. He's a couple cities away, and my local station has already heard about him, and is interested in possibly doing my(our) story.

There's too much evidence of him being verbally abusive, and overstepping his bounds. Petitioning the removal of a power hungry man who roams with near impunity is never the end point. Can I get a "USA!! USA!!" haha. No seriously, this guy is all hot air, and he's survived this long off of that. Time to put a hole in that balloon.

Somehow the petition was taking off of Change.org because someone reported it as Harassment. I'm not entirely sure how it could have been harassment, when it was clearly stated exactly what was going on. I have two people in mind of who it could be. One of them googles his name every day to start issues. I'm in contact with the Change.org people, and am attempting to sort it out.

Meanwhile the more members the better... it almost looks like we almost have more members than their peak players at any one time.

We have 65 members already, just a short time into creation. I have had a couple people who've expressed concern that a group page isn't enough to get to our goal.

We've established a petition which will aid us in our endeavor. You can find it on the groups front page, in the body of the intro, under our website, and in the new forum discussion post.

Please take the time to sign it, and we wish you pass it to at least one other person! That would be wonderful, and greatly helping the cause.

Thank you again everyone ,

Axelmania!

So far in around 12hrs we have almost 25 members. That's great.

If we could get everyone to sign the petition, and everyone to tell a friend who cares about things like this, and the gaming community as a whole. We'll get this done.

Don't forget who he is, how he is, and the salty taste he brings to your passion, hobby, or pass time. GAMING!
