Okay, so after like a two month ban, I'm faced with a decision.
Do I continue on with INGO as I have in the past, or, do I leave this board forever?
If there's one thing I've learned over the past several weeks, it's that I don't need INGO. I spent a lot of time here before my ban, and at first, I was livid. The longer I stayed away from this board, the less it mattered, and now, I really have no desire to be here.
I want to thank PaulF for his understanding of the situation, and for communicating with me during my vacation. His initial action was a 48 hour "cool off" ban. I was cool with that. I probably deserved it. I accepted that.
I returned to INGO 48 hours after that ban, only to find that my ban was extended by two months. I know that this was the work of a mod/admin with more clout than Paul. I emailed admin. No response. Bunnykid68 emailed me to ask what happened, and subsequently contacted Paul to find out why my sentence was extended. This is why you'll find my friends list consists only of BK68. He was the only one who cared enough to find out what happened to me.
Thank you, Alan.
I was told by a mod who shall remain unnamed that any future infractions, for any reason, will result in a permanent bananation. Bannanation? Ban. Excessive much? I could understand and accept a probation period, even as long as 12 months, but any infraction ever? Have you met me? May as well just swing your hammer down now!
If I leave, I won't leave bitter. The majority of you guys are great people, and I've enjoyed my time here. I do think that it's time for me to say goodbye.
So, INGO, I leave it to you. I know my abrasive and caustic personality hasn't earned me many friends, and most of you probably can't stand me, so I won't expect you to beg me to stay. While I wait for poll results, I will not post, and I will not lurk. I will return in seven days to view the results, and reply to this thread.
