I'd be doing better if I didn't have to come back on here to defend myself from slanderous remarks ... and btw, I quite enjoyed some of our actual arguements, but you have said a few things I've considered personal attacks due to the wording, that were not part of arguements we were having. that certainly doesn't tell me that you like and and enjoy my company. btw .. don't you think anyone who gave a crap about me would have emailed me?

Fair enough. I was annoyed, and part of my point was that I felt you and others were defending an idealized world of macbolo that never existed, a world where people were visibly polite to each other. Whatever else might be said of the place, it wasn't heavily moderated. I'd only been around winbolo about two weeks when we got into it, and I spoke based on what I'd personally experienced during that time, which included being +m'd approximately every other day for just joking around in a way that fell markedly short of threatening anyone, or teasing anyone who I thought couldn't take it for what it was.
About the emailing thing, well, who can say why people act the way they do. I hung out for years on #bolo, but I haven't gotten email from a damn person since I left. Maybe it's because I suck. But until you mentioned it, I hadn't even thought about it.
Anyway, for the record, I'm sorry if you felt personally attacked, but some of that inevitably happens when people disagree with each other about something that matters to them. Frankly, at that time you weren't my target audience. I didn't mean anything by it.
