The Last Discussion

I have to respond to people who are, apparently, discussing this blog elsewhere.

When I say I had no warnings, I am not saying I have never been told to tone things down. And I have, with one exception, never repeated whatever behavior was the impetus. The sole exception is that I was warned twice for going around the filter to say fuck. After the second time, I have not done it again.

As to the specific incident referenced, I got the warning. I said I wouldn't do it again. I didn't. I'd really like someone to point to something specific I said that warranted banning in the only thread I can imagine prompted this action, the one making fun of the current gyrations of the GOP. I was not profane, I didn't bash anyone personally, I just posted what was all over the news and the Toobz.

As I said, I'm not interested in going back there as a poster. But I will keep up with my friends there. And in the course of that, I'm going to know what is being said. And I would prefer some honesty in how I am portrayed. Perhaps I am not seeing something that others are, but I am at least up front enough to tell it exactly how I experienced it. It is stated with great finality that the moderators had worked with those who were banned. Other than those recent warnings for things I did not repeat, I state uncategorically that that is not true in my case. And I guess that's how they roll and that's fine. It's their place.

And this one is mine. And here I state my mind in all it's messiness, cynicism, idealism, romance, realism, and personal truth. And I'd rather talk about other things. But don't lie about me. Because I will make note and, yes, I keep a list. The cynic, you see, usually wins.
