Diaper Boy:
I have never made a secret of my email address. I didn't appreciate a constant airing of your thoughts about me on this forum. I have never bothered you on this forum - the only reason you used this forum to bring false charges against me is because your other venue of choice was shut down.
I also do not appreciate your making false charges against me. You have made some very serious slanderous charges against me in the past week. I can't help but notice you suddenly became very apologetic the same day we decided your actions were enough cause of concern to ban your IP#. I don't think that is coincidental.
As far as "truce breaking", we never had a "formal truce". You told me on this forum before that you were going to leave me alone from now on and I said cool. That was it. You made several comments about me in Ken's forum long before you wrote your story and I critiqued it. The REASON I critiqued it is because Ken led us to believe his story forum was like ours - there for the purpose to allow authors to post their stories and get ideas about the story from other authors. If you are writing merely for a pat on the head, or if you can't take criticism, you should not be writing. I said you had a good story idea, but it needed a lot of work. You didn't use good English, good spelling, and your punctuation was non-existant. That was true then; it is still true now. I said those things because they are TRUE, not because of something against you.
Most people who have debated me at one time or another are well aware that I never hold grudges - AND that I am an equal oppurtunity debater (meaning that if I believe you are wrong, I don't care who you are, I'll debate your point. If you have the right to make the point, I have the right to counterpoint.)
If you want a truce, that is fine. As far as I am concerned, I harbor no hostilities. Never have with anyone. But if you think I am going to sit idly by while you slander, you have another thing coming. If you'll look down this forum, YOU have been the instigator, not me. You have at various times popped up for no other reason than to slander and insult me, insult WingZ, insult Some Canadian, and insult Tragic Image.
As far as the ban, I'll forgive, but that does NOT mean I'll trust. WingZ has convinced me that there is no need to keep you banned permanently at this time, though he won't push me to allow you entrance to our forum. Instead, we have decided on a SHORT temporary ban. That will be lifted at the end of this weekend. We have incurred temporary bans before (usually 30 days). At this point, then, you are on probation. Other trouble making and certainly other slander against any of our members, on any forum, will be cause to consider a longer ban. If you really want a truce, as you say, that shouldn't be a problem.
