And yet the reason i was warned was precisely because of a response i made under the assumption (apparently shared by others) that i was being told not to engage with **dalej42** anymore, at all, outside of the Pit. That is precisely why i indicated my disinclination to follow the instruction.

Good idea. Maybe i’ll blog about some pigeon eggs or something. That should stupefy me sufficiently that moderating decisions will not raise my blood pressure.

Anyway, i’m done here. I remain unconvinced that expressing the intention of possibly doing something at some undetermined time in the future is the same as actually doing something. I would also argue that post-hoc moderator rationalizations about all of the \*\*\*other \*\*\*things i \*\*\*could \*\*\*have been warned for are little more than self-serving bullshit. But now i’ll move on. You can leave the thread open, or not.
