I wasn't sure where to put this. I definately wanted to put it in a place where the RRers could see it.
I know I've been taking a lot of rage dumps on RR and certain members lately. This really should be expected. I was not treated fairly in several instances, and my disdain for those members, whose names I've never even HEARD before that, obviously reflects that.
I have no intention of hiding my true colors. That should be obvious from the aforementioned rage dumps. I'm laying everything on the table.
But, I don't feel that I've been entirely fair, hating on RR like that. I said a lot while I was there that the vast majority of members were nice to me, even if they didn't get the hint that I really wasn't interested in being converted. And even with all the shit that's been said about BuzzardHut, and the fact that I myself didn't (and still don't always) entirely trust him, he got me back on, at great personal risk to his respect and authority level. Can't be pissed at him for that, now can I?
Speaking of Buzz, he made it clear to me that his reputation was more-or-less riding on mine. I feel bad about this, but my position has not changed: I will be on my best behavior on RR, & say whatever the Hell I want on here. I will not beat around the bush, or sugar coat the truth.
I just wanted to make a point that, while the way RR is moderated is DEFINATELY an infuriating pain in the ass, the community as a whole is actually quite nice, and I look forward to talking to them all again. Hopefully with much less Jesus this time around, though.
As proof of what I say, I submit to you, my welcome topic: www.raptureforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24244
Notice that it's all "Welcome," and "Hiya, Lithp," not, "You're gonna burn in Hell!" and "I bet you're a troll!" Well, at least not overtly the latter 2. And, quite frankly, I believe my heightened guard is obvious in my posts, so I'm probably not at my most approachable over there.
There are no restrictions on this topic. You do not have to be nice to them. I would encourage it, though. I also plan to abstain from doing too much flaming of the place. There will be time for that, later. I will agree with what is obvious, but on the whole, my posts shall be mostly defensive and good-natured.
So, I guess, just treat this like any other thread you see on RR, but keep what I've said in mind.
