Yes, ladies and gents, it's me again, one last time. One final farewell from beyond the grave.
I just wanted one final chance to speak my peace (and my mind) and say my farewells. Katganistan has informed me indirectly, via the Mod forum, that I am "no longer welcome on NS." If anyone has a better reason why, other than "he couldn't control his flaming", I'd like to hear it. I know I never blanket flamed an entire section of people like most other questionable posters. (maybe Europeans, but I've always let it be known that it was a mutual "tongue in cheek" ribbing, and NOT a direct attack.) Anyone who took the time to know me knew that.
I have never denounced gays as unnatural or proclaimed all heterosexuals as bigots. I have never pronounced Christians as evil, nor have I ever said that all atheists were going to hell.
I have never claimed that people were lesser than others because of skin tone, sex, nationality, or religion. I have attacked views, but I don't think I'm alone in doing so.
When someone posted a personal, heartfelt thread, I have always tried to be sensitive to them, and have done my best to cheer them up.
Anyone that I have ever flamed, I have always admitted it, and apologized when it was unwarranted.
I am only a man, nothing more. I have my faults, and I admit them. I am brilliant on a few issues, and utterly incompetent on most others, but I have never claimed to be an expert on any. I have offended people, I admit it, and I apologize to most of them. (yes Fass, I apologize to you)
I have been banned from NS for life. FOREVER. There are people on here whom I consider close friends, (Eutrusca comes to mind, as does Sierra) even though I've never had a 1 on 1 conversation with them.
I can no longer debate with them. I can no longer put my 2 cents into their arguments, stick up for them, or tell them when they are being "less than intelligent."
I have a life outside of NS-General, but my life inside NS is gone forever. It hurts, but I'm be OK. It won't ruin my life. Just my NS life.
Go ahead and say I deserved it. Just explain to me why we all don't, in one way or another.
I just wanted to say goodbye properly.
GOODBYE NS-GENERAL. I will miss you all. I was rude sometimes, and I'm sorry, but thats just who I am. I was a loudmouth sometimes, and I can be quite a bit overbearing. But I was always caring to those who needed it.
Sorry to all I've offended, and to all who, for one reason or another, just didn't like me for no other reason than my views, well.......fuck you. We all disagree, and we all have the right to voice our opinions. Maybe not on a privately owned forum, but the Mods could at least be equal about it. When someone says fuck you, and someone else says the same thing, in a more eloquent way, using words straight out of a thesaurus, the simple "fuck you" crowd always get the short end of the stick while the "big word" crowd gets a walk.
This is a forum full of great thoughts, and full of evil words, no matter the definition. But the words I use seem to be banned. Want to be an asshole? Consult a thesaurus first, You'll be OK. Want to just come out and say it like you know it? Watch your linguistics! You'll be the next FireAntz.
Good night, and good luck, NS-General. I will remember you all, always and forever.
