Thanks El, that means a lot.
I wish more people on this forum possessed your heart & fairness, but I guess that's why you're a
level poster, and they're not. The bottom line is many of the individuals tasked with maintaining order on this forum, have agendas that emerge in thread after thread. The notion that I'm somehow a notorious thread-derailer is absurd, when I don't even post with high frequency. Furthermore, when I do contribute to derailing a thread it's usually in response to others who tried to @ me first, and in this instance, I purposely waited until the season concluded to do so. Just because these individuals are volunteers or get paid a minimal amount, doesn't mean they're not suppose to uphold integrity, and higher level principles. How can they discourage against groupthink or differentiate between posting/porsting when they themselves interject their own personal biases into every discussion?
So at this pt, I'm actually fine with them keeping me in here indefinitely, or banning me outright, if they think my absence will make this forum a better place. My life doesn't revolve around this forum like it does for others, and I'll be ok regardless. I'm actually moving to Spain in a month.
But regardless of what happens to me El, I want you to know that I valued our discussions, and on this forum you'll always be my brother. I only challenged what you had to say at times, not because I didn't like you, but because I respected you. If I didn't, I think the opposite would be true. If this is the end, then it's been real, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
