Have you ever been upset, but you don't know exactly what was causing it at the time and then it kicks in a day later? Well, that just happened to me, so I had to come back on here one last time. Some might term it closure. For me, it's the final opportunity to state my case before the sentence is passed. Actually, I feel it's already been handed down and I have been convicted.
And while I do acknowledge the nice comments made by some members yesterday about my leaving and I sincerely appreciate them, that is not what I was looking for. I was seeking vindication for being called out a second time by this provider. And it wasn't until today that I realized why. Because it occurred to me today that the thread I listed in one of my posts yesterday that emily cited as being the catalyst for her leaving the website is not visible to the members, because it has been moved off-board.
In that thread, she called me a joker, sleazy coward, asshole, troll, and a scumbag. And then had the nerve to suggest that Slinky should ban me for starting a political discussion, because I created a poll that asked members if a provider's political leanings might affect their decision to see the provider. And not a single member commented on it. Nor did a moderator scold her. Why?
Now, unfortunately, the thread was moved to the Coliseum so no one can see the truth except the mods. And I have to go out looking like a scumbag to the members, because Emily said I was. And everyone believes her. Not a single member backed me up in that thread. I backed up The Exiled, but no one had my back.
As much as emily claims that pained her and caused her to quit the board, look what it did to me. I was labeled a scumbag by her, a label which continues to this day. So, when she started in on me again the other day, it brought back just as many bad memories for me as she claims it did for her. The difference is that no one will believe me. Because the members can't see the truth. It is hidden away. So, everyone believes the fairemily. After all, she is fair. She is the sweet, loveable emily and I am just a scumbag.
Had just one member or a moderator stepped in yesterday and said, "No, emily, once again you are wrong here. Banacek did not say or do any of the things that you are accusing him of." But no one was there for me. Well, she and the rest of the board won't have this scumbag to kick around anymore.
