Do you want Sweetmind to step down?
as Chief Monitor of DeafChat that is.. I do know that most of us do want her to step down from her current position and become a regular chatter for good. I am not talking about banning her from Deaf Chat for life. I am talking about removing her from her current position which she abused over the years.
The owner of DeafChat doesn't want to get rid of her because he does not know anybody to replace her. I say, So what, eliminate the position! So that way all monitors that are currently volunteering for DeafChat can be equal and report directly to the owner not to Sweetmind because it would be hard for them to be heard by the owner about what's really going on in DC.
I resigned from my work at MSM Productions, LTD as Internet Technician/Consultant back in Dec 02 and then about 10 month later in 2003 Sweetmind showed up in DeafLore (now a defunct forum that shut down sometime in 04 or so) and trashed Eve and others which prompted me to start a online petition to remove her. The online petition can be found thru this thread on DOL.
Recently, Sweetmind joined AllDeaf forum and bashed me but the thread was deleted by RoadRunner, one of the moderator of AD, on the reason for naming names as shown in a private message by him
Hello--
Just to let you know that the report you made concerning a particular thread whereas another member had posted in the form of naming you, etc. was removed from public view.Therefore, the whole thread was taken out--
If any further concerns or questions, do not hesitate to ask me or any of the other mods--
Have a good night now.

I reported to the moderators about the link to petition pasted by Sweetmind which Alex removed years ago when I started a thread in AD. (it was eventually removed) expecting that the link be removed but the whole thread was gone anyway.
She hasn't learned a lesson not to bash a dead horse.
Now Today I bring it up again on my own blog since she prompted it in first place on AD. so much for reopening wounds. eh...
So I urge all of you, former DeafChatters who has been slighted by Sweetmind over the year and gave up on going to DC ever again because of her. Please sign the petition. It is currently about 140+ (The reason it is not gathering more is because it's been quiet since lately till Sweetmind bring it up again so let's see if it resume gathering more signatures.) I do not care how many signatures I need.. I just need plenty and honest comment/testimonials of their experience in DC with Sweetmind.
From the online petition, Fasty(#5) he mentioned that Sweetmind were known at other chat rooms as operator in the past before DeafChat was formed.
SweetMind is nothing new. she is a problemablic and she was formerly in Efnet #deaf, then deafzone and deafuniverse in talkcity, then now deafchat. Time is enough and she needs to remove the operator status and let someone who has more friendly, open mind, and etc.I am sure some of you may remember from other chat room mentioned above may experienced the same thing that we have experienced in DeafChat (the banning, censoring and etc even favoritism)
I have told the owner, Matthew Moore, about her past but it was my word against Sweetmind's because she may have told him differently about her past.
Please spread the word about the online petition and hopefully DeafChat will become more peaceful without her at the helms.
Update: I found my first old online petition that was cached by Google before I went with petitiononline.com for better security and less duplicates.
