I had a tendency to get VERY drunk, and post stupid inflammatory bullshit.
I would always wake up and :smack: , run that shit through my head over and over, feel like a dick, etc…
I had accrued probably two dozen warnings (just a guess, I don’t know how many were “official” and made it into the FILE) in a few short years, and figured my time was nigh.
I’ve decided to re-up while I’m also somewhat intoxicated, so it may not the be the smartest path, and I previously felt pretty good about severing when I did.
However, lately, mostly due to a new career path, my alcoholic intake has been reduced by at least an order of magnitude. I’m not saying I won’t get drunk and post stupid shit again, but it’s less likely over a given range of time.
In my “off time” I still perused GQ more than any other forum, and had what I believe to be relevant anwers/anecdotes to many questions and posts, and felt that “itch”. Hence my re-uppance.
I’m just curious to hear how other Dopers feel about me, and whether I was missed or welcome, or hell, even noticed or remembered.
Like many, I like to think my impression has yielded a rather small footprint.
Hmm… if I’m soliciting serious opinions, this should probably be in the Pit so people can say they were happy I didn’t re-up without fear of repercussion and/or cuss me out if they so desire, but I can’t report my own post.
Anybody wanna report this so it can be moved there assuming the mods approve?
I think you collected about 7 warnings, but over 3-4 years. Your distinction may be that you collected a warning from at least 7 moderators in at least five different fora.
Eleusis, I recognize your screenname as one that I mostly liked and occasionally cringed at, which probably isn’t too surprising. But it sounds like you made a good decision then and another good one now, and I’m glad to have you back. I’m sure we’ll let you know if you start being an ass again.
I was the one who lapsed. I lapse every year, I have a bad time keeping up with bills (which is odd because I have a healthy amount of money). I think he meant that he just took some time off.
