[split] The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

[Mystical]

To everyone involved -- comes a time when we should realize we're shoveling good money in after bad.

Picking at wounds generally slows down healing.

I highly doubt Nymphadora or anyone here would have minded resetting this whole business, and I tried ending this chapter with love for all so he could come back and not feel uncomfortable.  Instead he came back to pick at his own wounds, demonstrate that the water is not under the bridge, and inflict new wounds with a smile on his face. That shit doesn't fly, and you can't force it to.

Speedbump

• Flaming
  Flaming is not allowed. We consider flaming to be the act of creating a series of posts that are either entirely or mostly comprised of insulting language aimed at another member, whether they are involved in the thread or not. This rule is intended to prevent members from using the forums to attack other members repeatedly. 
  
  As discussions that involve controversial or taboo subjects often tend to get heated for those involved, the occasional insult is to be expected, and will not violate this rule. Staff will take into consideration the context surrounding the insult when determining whether this rule has been violated. More generally, a violation of this rule occurs when a member's posts are repeatedly inflammatory or insulting without adding anything to the discussion at hand.
  
  

Albeit far from me to question the mods decision to speedbump this thread, I see no flaming, here, and simply feel censored at this point. Any reconciliation I could've acquired with Alisdair has now been completely halted because our discussion is now halted. He can neither respond to my question about where he apologized like he said he did, nor can I explain to him why a long term friendship of sorts, is over and where he went wrong. What's more--is that he reiterated his invitation for "honesty" from us. Any messages I sent him were constructive, not insulting. If he's honest with himself and us we might've had a progressive discussion. Instead we are met with censorship. Protecting a member from themselves through such means isn't going to remedy anything. Report me if you want, I've done nothing wrong. 

Catholic Lady what exactly are you laughing about? Just curious.
