This is my last attempt to get you to understand how simple the "common forum etiquette" I'm asking for is and to stop responding so severely.
Apparently the snippet you took issue with is:"But what you call "moral" is irrelevant; I will be deleting/moving any of your posts that are excessively off topic or rude to other members, unless Todd asks me to do otherwise. My purpose is not to limit you, just to keep topics functionally focused and the environment pleasant."
The point is not that morals are irrelevant, but that you ALWAYS claim your actions are justified by some moral.
In the MANY conversations I've had with you, you have never admitted any of your actions were wrong no matter how obvious it was.
You were claiming that you had a moral obligation to argue off-topic in someone else's thread. I evaluated your claim, decided it was wrong, and therefore your ERRONEOUS "moral" was irrelevant.
I can't be expected to take the time to convince you (who never admit you are wrong) that you are incorrect before taking action.
You said:"But I just know that I am doing myself, SOM, and everyone who cares about SOM, a disservice to spend time with this forum. Anyway I retired my account and deleted my feeds/bookmarks last night. I just can't have any involvement with an angry site so entwined with something so close to me as Sword of Moonlight."Seriously!? I ask you not to be rude on the forum and you think that means the forum is so "angry" that you have to disassociate from it? I am one of the most compassionate, moralistic people I know (hence why I am spending my time writing this message) and I have zero desire to be hostile or allow anyone else to be hostile on the forums. Your logic and conclusion here is just plain wrong.
For the fourth time, what I'm expecting is simple:Don't post EXCESSIVE amounts of off-topic text in a thread.Don't be rude to others.If you think these requirements make a site "hostile", you are wrong. I'll ask you directly, come back the SoM.com forums and enjoy sharing your enthusiasm for SoM with others. That is the purpose of a forum and the very reason I think the above two rules are required.
What on earth?
Did you really delete your stuff on som.com?
Let's be honest Holy, there are very very few people who find SoM, fewer still who bother to log into either of the forums, and even less that stick with it. If you are going to continue to work on SomEx, don't you want as much exposure as you can get for it? Why have your work be for naught? I am not trying to be mean, but I would wager a larger % of the small number of people that find SoM at all find it via som.com, it would be sad if they can't continue to get updates and feedback about your work from that portal.
I am well aware that my words probably mean very little to you as I have burned my bridges with your good favor a long time ago, but I assure you I am not the same guy I was then, I wish you did not feel unwelcome, especially if its from me. I want everyone on the forum(s) doing their best to make SoM games for the community, and that most certainly includes you and your work.
Can we sort this out and agree amongst ourselves to try to keep things civil, unpersonal and professional? There have been mistakes made, apologies made and so on, lets just move forward and try not to repeat them?
Wolf tells me he did delete a few posts under the guise of moderation. He may have deleted more since then. Possibly everything if he can do that. .. Som.com is too Mad Max for my temperament.
Wolf has been posting mean little balls of hate around here lately. This thread in point.
If I have incompetent users in here I will send them your way

Som.com is too Mad Max for my temperament.I deleted 2 1/2 pots by you after you refused to voluntarily move them to a more pertinent thread and instead posted another one that was off-topic.
I have no intention of sadistically deleting anything else. What part of "I am one of the most compassionate, moralistic people I know" do you not get?
Shall we shine some light into the darkness? In the brief stint when I was actively posting here, you moved my topics, renamed my topics, deleted text from my posts, deleted my attachments, added your own attachments to my posts, and added text to my posts.
Then when I told you in an email that I had a religious conviction against calling a person "Holy", you added a policy to this site designed specifically to forbid me from NOT calling you Holy.
Then I ask you to adhere to common forum etiquette on Som.com: "don't be excessively off topic, and don't be rude" and it's too Mad Max for you!!?? You are the worst kind of a hypocrite.

To describe my two posts here as "hate bombs" shows just how backwards your brain is. "Please come back and share friendship" + your brain = hate bomb? I've known you longer than anyone else involved with SoM - if you think they're hate bombs because I don't get involved in a line by line debate with you, it's not about "hate". It's simply because I know that is a futile endeavor; your mind is made up regardless of any facts. You like to think of yourself as philosophically guided by morals and logic, but you are actually just self absorbed and cruel. Your decency only lasts until people stop serving your ego; then the real you comes out:

G-rated, safe for work/radio discussion. Keep it impersonal. Opinions are not subject to debate or persuasion.
Jeebus guise, so hostile. This whole thread is an absolute waste of space, just as argument is a waste of breath.Breathe in, breathe out.
I mostly agree SaneGino. When a discussion becomes hostile (aka an argument) it usually becomes destructive to continue. I have no interest in arguing or defaming anyone. My purpose here was to set the public record straight. I've spent a lifetime trying to "stand up for" and endorse decent and honorable behavior. I make mistakes regularly, but I spend a lot of energy trying to get it right. When someone is spreading exaggerated accounts of my behavior and suggesting that I'm fake and mean spirited, I feel compelled to tell my side of the story because I don't want it to seem like I'm endorsing evil behavior in any form.
Q: Why does Holy Diver not interact with swordofmoonlight.com? A: Because I have been banned on numerous occasions for pathetically petty reasons, and currently am not even able to send or receive Private Messages. The membership is for the most part not helpful or interested in Sword of Moonlight regardless. Go firgure.
