1. Contrary to Ari's distorted description of what is happening on this forum, VERY FEW members have been banned. And VERY FEW members have ever been involved in "needless fighting". There were three or four members who ALWAYS were involved in needless fighting and they are not with us any more.
2. I trusted Ari by appointing him to a major administrative position and he betrayed my trust. Ari leaked confidential conversations that took place among admins and global moderators to people who are hostile to JTF. Someone sent me Ari's numerous emails leaking this confidential information, and when I confronted Ari with this outrageous betrayal, he justified it.
3. Ari bragged somewhere else on the internet that he is lying to our admins and to me in order to get former members back on the forum. Ari admitted to me in an email and I quote, "The truth is I have tried to play both sides of the fence with people." How can we trust someone who has repeatedly lied to us and misled us?
4. Ari agreed with those who were viciously bashing admins on our forum with personal attacks.
5. Ari said somewhere else on the internet that he had no problem with someone cursing and insulting Moses on our forum.
6. Ari agreed with a former member of this forum who wrote somewhere else on the internet that our admins have "Torahs up their ...." In other words, this sick former member is cursing and insulting our sacred Torah, and Ari was agreeing with the "criticism".
There is much more, but I will leave it at this. And remember, Ari did all of this while he was entrusted with the position of global moderator.
Ari, you are a Jew. From the moment you came on this forum, I always treated you with the utmost respect. I trusted you and believed in you. I appointed to an important position.
Let me tell you, Ari, that what you have done is commit very serious sins. The fact that you have no remorse for this behavior is even worse. I would urge you as a Jew to repent for these terrible sins, and to ask the people whom you have betrayed for forgiveness - that is the Jewish way. And if you continue to associate with evil people who curse our Torah, then your remorse will have no value.
I am not urging you to do this to come back to the forum, because you are banned from the forum in any event. After bragging that you repeatedly lied to us, we cannot trust you any more. We would never know when you are lying and when you are telling the truth. I urge you to do this for your own soul and your own well-being as a Jew. Think about how terrible it is to knowingly betray people who naively trusted you and believed in you.
Now this soap opera is over. I am locking this thread.
