Since I'm the guy that's got top billing, and since I was the one who had people attacking me without me saying a word to them, or even posting in the last week, it's obvious that I am not good for your boards. Heck, according to Rogue Commander, even Libs was saying some unpleasant things about me. Not sure about that, but I definitely don't want to be the reason that anybody doesn't enjoy coming here, so perhaps just giving me a permanent ban is all that's needed to kill the negativity that's breeded at your forums, and closing them down for good is completely unnecessary. It's an eye opener to not even be posting here and then to read a thread where I'm dominating it because people have negative things to say about me.

There are a lot of people here who enjoy the forums, and coming to them everyday to chat with their friends is important to them. I don't want to see that ripped out from under anybody, because I know what that feels like. BOM was ripped out from under me, and it really was a shitty experience to lose daily contact with people that I liked in an environement that we were all comfortable in, and I don't want to see that happen for anybody else, even the people here who don't like me.

I'm at a point in my life where I'll survive just fine. I've got plenty to keep me busy, and a permanent banning won't kill my enthusiasm for life at all. If anybody here wants to say hi to me, they don't need to do it here, and can contact me through other means if I'm important enough to them. Seriously, I could start a poll, and the sheer number voting for a permanent ban would be enough to convince you to at least give it a try before yanking the forums down, but let's save me the embarrassment, and just assume that at least half the people here would be in a great mood if I were gone, and that would rub off on the other half, who would also be happy that they get to keep their forum.

I've already said that I lost my desire to be here, and today's events made me even less interested in being here. I'm not having any fun like I once did, and it's obvious that I'm hurting too many people's good time here, so since it's a situation that is not a good fit for most of us, just ban me, and maybe something positive will be the result. I don't mind sacrificing my account or time at the forums if it's going to mean a better situation for everyone. I think I could live with that.

If more of your posts like that, the number would be less than half.

Wow, Mav, you're such a martyr!

Why not just leave?

temp lock. thanks.
