Well...I am posting because i got e-mails from people i have barely spoken to in ages and was wonderng what was with all this specific attention in a short amount of time.

Anyway some clarifications. Firstly not being able to speak my mind. That was a personal choice i made on my part. To be very honest SYM has a certain specific way of looking at things. My views if expressed openly would be in a violation of certain rules and in many ways would insult a great part of the membership of SYM. Thus I made sure i stayed out of certain threads and did not post on specific issues. Homosexuality being the most blatantly obvious one.

As for expressing myself, I had an issue with that when it came to when i was a mod and many can attest to the fact that i did not share the views of the majority when it came to actions or conduct of mods yadda yadda blah blah.

As for the pictures/cartoons thread. I am not sure how much of it had an affect on me, but in general it did. It was a personal decision on my part to leave after that thread. There are certain personal principles I hold dear. I can not require or enforce others to hold the same principles in the same regard etc. I just thought it would be best if i take my leave after that thread.

However I would like to make it very clear that i do not hold a grudge against or hold ill will towards anybody who posted in that thread. I just decided that this was not a forum i wished to post on anymore.

Plus you can not tell me that it has not been peaceful around here without me
