Thanks Plat, we were getting worried about you.

Hey I love talking! I know why I was banned, and I know a wasn't the only reason behind it. Because if you're saying it was, then trust me the next time someone (a Mod, a God, anyone) tells me "I'm DONE", I'm gonna think its unfair and express that.

The Prophet Mohammad said, when you see something wrong, physically stop it, if you can't then at least speak up against it. When you can't even do that, know it in your heart what you see is wrong.

So you know what it is that I would do when the next time someone tries to shut me up. You guy's are mods, moderate, and don't harm what is in the best interest of WAB. I know deep down you think, that you've been cornered into becoming the Incredible Hulk type mods but end result is that you're doing nothing beneficial for the board by taking this line of action. The bannage aside, I probably hold WAB as close to me as you do so trust me I got its best interest at mind.

But when I see something wrong, I will do either one of the three things.

However, I hope his future posts prove me wrong.
We could say the same about all the Indian members (except yourself, Bull and maybe Sammy), and not only on other forums.

You were banned because you don't know when to quit. You can't play the "they banned me to make up for banning some Indians" game here, like you are over at PDF, because the reality is that those of us administering to this board couldn't care less what race, nationality, sex, political inclination, sexual preference, or religion you are. The ONLY reason you got vacation time was the series of posts arguing with Hat when he told you to cease. Had you gone with the opposite method, and simply dropped it and moved on, you would have had no interruption to your posting here.

People who cannot follow rules, or even simple instructions, and people who cannot let things that do not even matter go, are not in the best interests of the WAB.

Post count is up, hits are up, membership is up, and people seem to be having a better time, with much better debates. Honestly, I thought as you described at first, but I was definately wrong.

Do them, but follow the rules, and when a mod/admin says to drop it, just drop it. Simplicity...

Take you at your word old man. Though, you do know, that everybody feels differently.

Plat,

Good show.

The rest of you. Stop turning this into a p!ssing contest. I'm sick of the whole lot of you turning every single thing good or bad into who's got the bigger penis.

Stop.

Now.

Then they are busily searching for the forrest, but cannot seem to find it, for there are far too many trees in the way...

My comment was not directed at the words Confed, but at their usage and whether the intentions actually backed the remarks.

Anyways, will follow Chimo's lead. No more comments on this.

I'd follow suit and will take his (Confed's) word for it. I'm just upset over the re-bannage of Sri. According to me he's been a worthy opponent and will be missed.

My apologies, I never doubted your word at all. Just saying people might think that you had other reasons. I never thought you did.
