Default Hm, an announcement, I assume, sort of...

Announcement

I hereby declare the abandonment of my intent to move away from here.

Reasons to leave in Octobre were several substantial changes in private life, next there was a change in job, and my time-consuming active support for a civil rights movement running a case of court proceedings, finally a not further identified viral infection of my nervous system that really put me down and forced me to accept heavier medication that caused their own setbacks that added to my health problems, and last but not least a feeling of having been linked too intensely to this board anyway, and a growing anger about some moderation-related events back then that angered me and some others increasingly (and caused me to lay down my own moderation in another forum here).

In other words: it all came together at the same time. Back then I was sure I would not come back, and it felt like a massive relief, really. I had both hands full (unusual for my living conditions...)

I meanwhile was invited into a non-public discussion group which attracted me in the beginning - which after the compliments ended and they were sure of myself engaging there, led to the masks falling - and me finding myself in the middle of an original and most extremist white racist group. Big mistake of mine, but meanwhile it was corrected (I left, what earned me some emails that easily rival the hate speech and threats of murder I received via postal mail one year ago from their Muhammedan counterparts). I also tested participation in two other discussion forums, but too many kids and idiots around, the smaller the argument, the tougher the language. Kindergarten.

It also seems that once you are an alcoholic, you always remain to be an alcoholic. This board is addictive and should be consumed only in pharmacies under medical supervision, and in small doses. Seen that way, I was turned into a junkey by this place, Neal is a mean evil dealer, and he should be held responsible for that. I seriously think about bringing him to court for the damage and suffering he has brought to my life.

But the hey times are over. I will not be as present as in earlier years.

Greetings,
Skybird

I think we have all banned ourselves one time or the other from certain boards, i know i have. Well you can at least be assured your not insane, some out their around the cyberworld that are on boards 24/7 364 days yr after yr dont believe they are addicted. Just like a sane person knows when hes going crazy, a insane person doesn't.

I am crazy therefore i am sane.

I'm glad that you are staying too, Sky. If my moderating ever rubs you the wrong way, let me know. That being said, you are suspened for misuse of the term 'Kindergarten'.

Good to have you back Skybird!!



Can understand about things coming together all at once, the Brits have a saying, "It never rains but it pours." Hope things are starting to balance out now though

I am also glad to hear that you are feeling better.

That being said, I hope your propensity for verbosity has diminished. If you have a point to make it is certainly worth making in two or three sentences. Enough of the long winded PC madness. Its nice to see you are a thoughtful fellow but spare us the run around and get to it..............please.
