Yes, my people. I am back from the darkness. I shall choose to keep my experiences private, but I will say this: it doesn't get any easier. Each new ban hurts as much as the first. But this is the life I have chosen, and it is the life I must lead.
Do I agree with The Moderators' decision to ban me? No. Do I understand it? Yes. I had been banned before for the same offense, so I was certainly teasing the fates with my behavior. I had hoped that we, as a board, had progressed to a point where it was finally acceptable to post 20 consecutive high definition images of hushpuppies, shrimp, and fried fish in a single thread. My hopes were once again dashed. I will let this fight, which I believe is a righteous one, rest. For now. I believe I can be more effective as a free man, with the ability to start an open and constructive dialogue on this most pressing of social matters. I hereby pledge not to be disruptive in such a manner. And if I should break that pledge, I understand that a mod may feel the need to take similar action. Nobody need cry for me.
Am I the Nelson Mandela of chain seafood JPEGs? Maybe. Yes. I am. And you know what happened after Mandela's wrongful 27 year imprisonment?
He became the President.
Thank you.
