Oh, no problem with any of that, I salute the mods and administrators for herding this obsteperous gang of misfits. I was specifically addressing those who feel returning members should get a few days posting privelege slack (at discretion) before having to decide to re-up. I’m against that. FWIW. ---

So, I signed on the day after my meltdown and had an e-mail from TubaDiva. I was sure it was going to say “You are banned you stupid fucking psycho, now go and never darken our door again”. Well, no, it was quite nice. Not only was I not banned but I was asked to stay. Now, I wasn’t going anywhere anyway but I have to say the e-mail warmed the cockles of my psychotic little heart. No, I was never going to sue anybody. Jesus pete, you folks should know I’m a complete whack job by now. Oh, and I understand about Magoo now, k thanks. **Winston Smith** , sorry you lose. I waited til Saturday to post. Too bad. **Otto** , the Adolf thing was a joke, way before I melted down. It was a play on your “money jar” thread. ---

[QUOTE=Abby\_Emma\_Sasha] He was just here to provoke and I was tired of his racist tirades. [/QUOTE] Well, as long as you’d like to discuss it, I don’t believe he was here to provoke. I believe he visited and posted in this message board for the same reason I did. Which was because he enjoyed doing it. He had a forum he could discuss and talk about music, movies and videos games. A forum he could ask peoples opinions on things he was curious. And a forum he could blow off some steam with some over-the-top rants, which were more funny to some than to others. Then he posted an inappropriate thread in another forum which was closed. Something I have done myself. But then, with a target on his back he decided to throw a me vs. the world battle in the Pit. He’s guilty of being stupid. But in my opinion not what others have labeled him. On preview: **Nzinga, Seated** has replied to me. I melt. ---

It may just be me but it seems that the rule **Don’t be a jer\*\*\*\*k** is treated like jaywalking at 6 AM on Sunday out in suburbia and **sockism** is treated like first degree murder.
