So, let's sum this up a bit:
You say that you've reformed yourself and are following our rules, yet you created an Alt.
Which kind of went without saying, that was the obvious. Regarding my actual activity as a poster, I've been well within the rules minus a couple mishaps that I corrected.
You say it isn't an alt because you created it for purposes besides trolling. Just so everyone is caught up, an alt is clearly defined as an "alternate account." Last I checked, Ba-Bomb is an alternate account to The Game Rage.
Nowhere in all this did I say "It's not an alt because I created it for purposes besides trolling". Where you came up with that is your own thing.
Ba-Bomb is not an alternate account to The Game Rage, last I checked. It was a new account, made long after all that went down, and that's years in the past. So why can't you guys get off of all that? Why must you cling to old shit? Like I said, let's just let the past be the past, maybe act like we're above old grudges for a second, and move on without this being some big issue. I've shown that I can easily function within the rules on the boards, problem free. Now I am simply asking that you let by-gone's be by gone's and let me continue to do that, which will not and does not hurt anyone or anything.
You say you're honest, yet you've attempted to deceive us for the past year. Once you were recently outed, you decided to play damage control and justify your rule-breaking and lying by adding manipulation to your bag of tricks. But you're just one big, fat ray of sunshine, aren't you?
Yes, I am honest. If I were a liar I would never have admitted that I am who I am regardless of what you brought forth as proof, nor would I have told you the truth behind all the matters leading me here. That would have been a deception, that would have been dishonest. Instead, I gave you full disclosure to everything, and I did so before you supposedly "outed" me. Up until I gave you what you wanted, you presented no proof, you didn't indicate in any way how you supposedly knew who I was, nothing. I did what I did, albeit under some pressure to do so, at my own accord. No one made me do it, I decided to admit it, and that stand far away from where you are painting the situation.
And, isn't it a bit of a twisting of the realities here by you saying I "tried to deceive you" for the last year. I didn't try to deceive anyone, I went along as I would any other time, I didn't really hide anything, I just didn't come out and announce "Hey, I'm TGR guys, you miss me?". At no time did I flat out deny being TGR, and up until recently no one asked me, so I had no reason to. Since you are so fond of making the claim, would you care to back it up and explain how exactly I "tried to deceive you" by being outward and openly myself in every way outside of a username?
What manipulation are you referring to as well? I'm REAL curious to hear that, those are some heave charges. I haven't manipulated anyone or anything. You're throwing around a lot of accusations and false representations of me and everything I've said. Now, you can make of it what you want, but I stand by everything I've said. You can call it "Playing damage control" and me trying to "justify rule-breaking" but I've done nothing but be openly candid and honest with you. Unless you have a problem with me telling the truth, I don't see how you can misconstrue all of that and blur it so wildly.
You say you have integrity, yet (if what you say is true,) you're throwing one of our recent/former staff members under the bus.
So by your interpretation, telling you the truth about what transpired and led me to return, which was under the pretense that it would be okay for me do so, is throwing someone under the bus? Are you sure you're not letting your problems with me personally distort your perception here? Unless honesty is no longer the best policy, or something you value, I think you've jumped off a cliff with some of this. And, since you seem to doubt the truth of what I've said, let me point first and foremost to Tastycles who admitted to telling me that in the future I might be okay to return, while the other person I was in contact with all but verified it.
Now, if I were an idiot, I'd believe you. Yet, anyone with half a brain can read what I just posted up until this point and realize that you're full of stinky, smelly, horseshit and have given us no reason to believe anything that you say.
That is entirely a choice of your own, and people can make up their minds about me on their own without you trying to make it up for them. Calling me names isn't going to change that, trying to provoke me isn't going to get you anywhere, and making baseless accusations isn't going to do you any justice either. I don't understand this attitude you have and that you are taking with me, maybe that's what you need to do to feel better about something, I don't know. All I know is that I told you the God's honest truth and it's yours to take it or leave it. I can't make you believe something you are dead set determined to disbelieve, and I can't make you make a decision that is favorable to me. I've done everything I can to try and explain things as clearly as possible, and I'm trying to make amends for everything in the past.
I'm not asking anyone to put the fate of the universe at stake by letting what happened in the past be just that, and let me continue on as a member of the forum. I don't understand why you feel the need to make me feel worse about myself or the situation to do that, I find it kind of sick actually, but if that's what I have to deal with, so be it. I'm just trying to have fun on the forum like most other people, contribute to it, and enjoy other peoples contributions in the process.
