Wow, popped back in because I was told I needed to see the direction this conversation was taking. So I do have something important to say, to clarify a few things:
FUCK YOU LAST POET. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
It was not a "momentaneous fit", nor was it a sudden or rash decision. It was certainly not just about a little speed bump.
I take issue with the philosophy of this board on the restraint of its own membership in the name of some imaginary philosophy of equanimity, and I have been chafing for quite some time at almost every instance of staff intervention that was about keeping our own members censored and "in line", by whatever means, while allowing the ignorant fucks to get away with just about anything.
The staff here have hinted or outright stated, on numerous occasions that I've seen, that disagreeing with staff decisions will have repercussions... and now you're trying to hide behind the "well if only you had told us!" excuse? GTFOH with that shit.
So you can strawman my position all you fucking need, in order to make yourselves feel better, I suppose... but this was neither a quick nor a passive aggressive (or whateverthefuck y'all want to try to label it in psychological self-defense) decision on my part. It's something I've been considering doing for quite some time, and this was finally the "straw that broke the camel's back".
And by the way, LP, a word of advice: make sure you only ever use the phrase "passive aggressive" in the safety of a computer keyboard, or you might meet someone who's willing to get actually aggressive with you... you know, like someone who did a fucking decade in the joint.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
