I'd like to say I'm sorry for filling your new forums with arguing, and for faciltating in a flame war which should not have been started in the first place, by either side. I've sent a post to Car, asking him to delete my posts aside from this one, because it's crap that, having been read, no longer needs to be up as far as I'm concerned. I've made my points, and others have made their's, and it's obvious that no-one's mind is going to be changed by anything the other side says.
HOWEVER, this does not mean I take back anything I said, it's just that I'm willing to let it go. After this, if you all wish to ban me, fine, if not, it's nice to see we can be reasonable. I'll refrain from commenting about/to people who apparently feel animosity towards me, and will hope they can do the same.
If you ALL don't want me here, tell me, and I'll leave for good, only to "pester" you on LIVE should our paths ever cross (quite possible, since I'm friends with several of the people in BLS).
I will NOT however leave because people call me names, nor will it bother me in the least. Never has, really.
I don't see any reason we can't be civil, in public at least. Send me all the hate-mail you want, I don't care, I just don't think it needs to be public.
Pantera, Dave, and BC...I apologize for being an ass towards you, when you didn't deserve MOST of it. I was just trying to make you all see my viewpoint, and didn't mean for it to go THAT far out of control.
I'm doing this for a couple of reasons. The first, is, because I've had some time to think, I realize I was acting in a way that annoys me to no end if others act that way. The second is the fact that I KNOW that if this stays unresolved, and smolders, then the BLS members that are still friends with me, will be subject to some form of discrimination, because they're friends with "the traitors", or "deserters". I wouldn't wish that on ANYONE.
