And here goes.
As I'm sure you all know, I started the... pandemonium on the general forum. So, here is my statement on the issue.
I am sorry to all of the mods who have felt personally insulted. That was not my intention. Yes, my original thread had a direct attack to the moderators in the title, but I made it clear inside that it was only opposition to the decision made regarding former member Beeker.
If I could go back, I would do it all again, even though it put me a strike away from being banned. I would, however, have done it differently, taking better care not to offend anyone. Nor would I have used reproductive organs in my titles (as you may have noticed, I have yet to use a single swear under Delhatet, even in quoting others, or attacked anyone).
I still object to Beeker's deletion. I think he was not deserving of this fate, and I think he added a lot to the forum. I am a moderator at another large forum, and if moderation staff decisions meet with too much opposition, we repeal them. I was hoping for the same here. I would like to see more freedom of speech here. I did this to improve NationStates. If I hated this site and forum, I would simply leave, but I do not. By obvious deduction, my revolutionary days are over, for I'd like not to be deleted. I just hope that in the future, moderators will be more careful about decisions that may be very unpopular to members here. It should also be mentioned that my actions were in no way though of by Beeker. He was just as surprised as you all were to see that.
I am sure you are all still unhappy with me for this, and that's okay. Hard feelings always result from political clashes. I just hope no one takes this personally. I do appreciate what mods do in general, and the time that they donate here. We may quarrel, but we all love ya all! :D
