Just to clear things up ...
I contacted Sid. Sid did not come to me. I talked to him immediately after the video posting. Then, I was talking to Shelby on the phone one day last week and was telling him about my boss and how he doesn't trust me and I'm ready to start doing something that I have a passion for. He encourages me and has me contact Sid. So I pm'd Sid and he called me within the next 10 minutes and talked my ear off. We have stayed in contact since then and he has been very helpful.
Now, I do not want to get things all stirred up again. I just wanted people to know. He did not try to get me on his side, or vote a certain way in the ban poll. When we talk, we don't even discuss what's going on on here.
Me, I'm ready for this nonsense to go away.
