It truly amazes me...

...that some people, from what I've read and have been told, think that anyone who left on "Black Friday" and has since decided to rejoin, probably came back with some kind of act of sabotage in mind.

Um, no.

It's been six months. Six months in which I've had time to not care about the stuff that happened back in March. Hell, I had time to not care like a week after it happened. So, some of the people around here have opinions that I disagree with. I disagree with most people. So a lot of my friends left. I still talk to them, just not on this website, so there's no reason to be bitter. I don't care about that stuff anymore. Why should I? What reason is there to assume that I do?

What exactly would be the point, of coming back, six months later, under your own name, and starting trouble? If I had some sort of retarded sense of vengeance, I would have rejoined as soon as possible, under an assumed name. I have no idea what I would have been doing. I can't imagine what these people think that rejoins are going to do that's going to cause so much trouble. Post poems with foul language in the titles? Argue in forums? What's the equivalent of a literary pipe bomb around here?

The bottom line for me is, I like this site. I was a member of it for a year and a half before I quit, and when I did, it wasn't long before I started to miss being a member. I didn't automatically start hating the site and wanting to see it crumble when I quit. I don't know of anyone who did.

It's not my fault if other people are paranoid, so I'm just going to go on about my business. My advice to them is, if you're looking for someone who might make trouble, look at someone else, and if you don't, then you're just wasting your time.
