I really don't understand why you're upset, PPF. Before I signed on, I was glad to see a post from PP319. I was thinking that this forum would return back to normal with one of our regulars coming back. Are you still upset about the Ahmed Baba thing? That was like 5 months ago and I am sure everyone here has forgiven and moved on. I didn't think it was that dramatic to the point where you have to leave. I am not judging you or anything, but don't you think you are being a little over-the-top? Well, I have nothing else to say about this.
Thanks TRJ. The Ahmed Baba deal never should've happened and it was all on me. I'll admit that. However, it's really a shame that you (PPF) still haven't gotten over this. I expected a much better response than that and it has me wondering if you really are fit to be a moderator here. Please don't take this the wrong way (I'm going to be constructive when I say all of this), but my answer to that is no. I remember being a mod on a small forum years ago and I don't recall ever being this hostile towards someone if they had a problem with me, and I was in my teens at that time. I was younger than you when I was a moderator on that forum (not to mention, I was pretty dumb too) and I handled my job there just fine, so why can't you? I'm not trying to be mean, rude, or anything like that. It's just that you have a tendency to be very trigger-happy with your posts, and it's not for the right reasons either.
I know this might sound hypocritical coming from me, but your responses to me have been very rude and disrespectful. I would highly appreciate it if you changed your ways. Just approach certain situations differently. It will help you go a long way in helping you solve big problems. I'm not saying you're incapable of doing that, I'm just saying that your current style could use some adjustments. I know you won't believe me when I say this, but I'm just trying to help you. I'm reaching out, trying to be a peace keeper. The hate and hostility needs to stop,
now. I've stopped, so why can't you? If you need to leave this site and take a break from it for a while, then go right ahead. That's your call. It helped me and I feel better than ever (for the best, of course). A break, no matter the size of it, can help anyone.
Let me put it like this. We all make mistakes. Everyone on this planet is human. It's only inevitable that we'll goof up and make stupid decisions. I know I did when GM1 ran his tournament involving the Ahmed Baba nonsense. I took that thing way too seriously. I really wish I had approached that situation differently than I did and to this day, I still regret being a jerk in trying to convince people that Ahmed Baba is a good episode (and yes, I still think it is, but that's not the point here). My point is this: you say you'll never forgive me for having a different opinion on something as silly as a 90s episode of a show we love. To be honest with you, that's hardly fair. Yes, I get it. I was a jerk about it. I get that. However, like I said, I regret acting like that. It's a mistake I wish I could go back and fix, but unfortunately I can't. You'll just have to understand that I really am sorry for my actions before I left months ago. Please understand that I'm human and I messed up. You're a human too and you're messing this up as well. You're human and that's perfectly fine. Like I said, mistakes happen. I just wish you'd handle this situation better than you are right now, PPF.
So yeah, if you need to take a break from this forum, then by all means, take a break. It just might help. I know it helped me. I feel better already, and I was contemplating never returning again. There are some things you just can't let go. For me, this place is one of them. I hold this place close to my heart because the show and this forum represents an important part of my life. This show was everything to me as a kid. I want to relive those moments again. I want to relive the fond memories I had before I snapped, not argue about which episodes or players are good and which ones are not. I don't want any trouble. Instead, I want to have a good time enjoying LotHT and this forum, the right way.
Hopefully you and everyone else will understand where I'm coming from. If you still can't forgive me, then I don't know what else to say or do. I'll be at a loss for words if you still can't find it in you to forgive me for my past. Just, please, forgive me. That's all I ask for. I feel I explained myself very well, so I'll be very sad if you still won't forgive me. I would highly appreciate it if I could enjoy myself here without having to be called out for my past. I came back thinking that everyone had moved on. I thought now was a good time for a return. I guess it didn't matter when I came back? I just hope everyone is able to forgive me, especially considering that I explained myself very well.
Now, can we all just move on from this and enjoy the show and the forum for what it's worth? That's what I really want, none of this arguing nonsense. Please, we all need this.
