I would say were a lot of posters I got along great with, many which I miss. And I would put my hand in the oven that two of those three mods are idonthave and Jaesun, two people who opposed me from the very first post, and the third possibly Trash. Largely people with an axe to grind due to having radically opposed values, and not unbiased observers.You have to admit many people disagree with this decision, and not just the conservatives. In fact except for this small clique I see barely anyone supporting it all.
The last thing I did before leaving was send a goodbye pm to some of the "WCDS" members. We've had some silly antics but it was hard to write it to the comrades I lost, to think it was possible I'd never speak to them again.
The thing is, although I do believe in all I say and am really a devoted Christian, I don't deny I've posted in a silly and kind of inane manner on repeated occasions. I might've gone much too far. But at the time I didn't see how it was worse than what other posters do when I still talked a lot about many other things like RPGs, JRPGs, natural health, technology, privacy, and others. I didn't see how worse it was to post half-serious half-silly "accept Jesus" one-liners than say Awor saying "everything is s***", or how worse it was to post many threads about controversial conservative issues than for example raw's eurozone threads or Higher Game's threads. It really came off to me as a shock. Yes I always felt on thin ice. All this time though I only thought I took advantage of the Codex freedom in my unique fashion and that it was fine at the end of the day because that's what we all did and although many people had intense rivalries and couldn't stand each other, the plurality of views was what made this place unique and worthwhile and fun for all of us. I thought it was all in good fun.
On a place like the Codex where few are inclined toward these ideals and the average poster is very rude, it can also mean that it can be hard for someone like me to avoid brandishing a form of bellicosity in these interactions which I'm not that fond of to begin with, as I don't really enjoy confrontations. In spite of it all, I don't deny most of it is probably my fault. Nevertheless, my slightly different attitude in another less belligerent environment is not necessarily just a form of hypocrisy.
So all that is long but these are my honest thoughts on all this.
Say I register a second account to post only in the JRPG forum for now, and then maybe try to post in other sections after a very long period of better posting both in that section and here at the Watch. Would that be considered ban evasion? Would it show I meant what I say in this post?
I don't see what more I can do to convince you I am my own person at this point when I have talked with you for years on top of that, I can just hope you're not pulling my leg.
I don't try to hide my disappointment, I prefer to be honest. I'm displeased, but I don't resent them, I try to forgive. Even if you still feel something, that's why you forgive in the name of Jesus.
