Message 57416 - Posted: 6 Nov 2014, 22:28:30 UTC

When one weighs all I have done here, pro or con, I seriously wonder why Eric has come down on me so hard.

I have done a lot for this project, and, yes, I have been a turd at times too.
I still do not think I have deserved a two month plus ban.

This was a decidedly personal vendetta on behalf of Eric and Angela, and I don't believe it was warranted.

They should be called out on it.

Message 57417 - Posted: 6 Nov 2014, 22:30:05 UTC - in response to Message 57412.  

Mark, ranting is okay with me, but can you take it down a notch in the 'dirty words' department and the laying of blame, please? As far as I know Eric isn't reading here, while those that do are getting a little ruffled. Before I know it they expect me to take action, which I hate to do.

We're all mature people here, so perhaps it's time we all showed in our posts, ey? :)

PS: I asked Eric about it, you are not permanently banished at Seti, but your banishment does run into the new year. So be prepared to sit it out a little longer.

Edit: it would seem that next week you'll get to hear the end-date.

I appreciate your accepting and understanding........but you are starting to show a bit of partism.

I lack some bit of restraint at times, and use the vernacular I am familiar with.
This includes some verbalism that most of the world understands..........
Although I do not specifically endorse it, it does come from the world in which I live. My lack of restraint is simply me being me. IE...I do at times s--t where I eat./ Not appreciated or understood by some, I know.

You have been quite understanding so far.................
If ya wanna ban me here as well,
You do what you have to do.
I shall do so also.
I am running out of places to hide, and as so, I realize that the need to do so is for those that are clueless, not for myself. Kitties can hide.

It seems that my kitties time to wait date expired already.
The end date is not now as important as the reason behind it and the lack of understanding that I have been granted.

I shall await a personal apology for the extended ban. I am owed that much in private, if not publicly.
Eric was my personal friend, or so I thought. I was freaking blindsided. Absolutely whacked........I was fundraising at the time.....ferchrissakes.

Just absolutely devastated. And still am.
He needs to explain some things to me, or I will not further endorse his project.

Until then, my crunchers are elsewhere.

Who said anything about banning you here? I sure didn't, and since I am fraternizing with you, I can't do that to you. And as long as we're still on speaking terms, I don't see why I would need to threaten you with any such thing.

You're still welcome here, you're allowed to rant. All I ask is that you tone it down with the swear words, and okay maybe in the blame-laying department. But that's up to you. I know how difficult it is to rant without laying blame. :-)

Yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I have long wondered about gender.
You may have long or not seen that I connect with gurl singers most often than not.
It's just that they sing my songs most of the time.

They share my tears. They more often that not are on my plane.

Ladies are my thing.
I may be at times a gurly gurl.

I would not be really offended if I were called one.

Many of you cannot understand me. Not surprisingly, as I am an odd one.
I ask for understanding....................
For, as KT finally realized, I now can see.........................

I have vision, kids.
I have the sight few do not.
That is why I have, as Simon and Garfunkle said....'squandered my existence, for such are promises........all lies and jest, yet a man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest.'

I have held on to Eric's promises of forgiveness. I think that I deserve them.

I am on a different path now.
It shall take a few personal words of explanation to me from the man in charge, or the kitties are not rerouting.

It's HIS path to take at this time, not mine.

Meow.

No worries, teammates.
I am still a staunch member of the GPUUG.
Just took a different tack.

Gotta do that sometimes in life, and it had been too long.
When one is no longer appreciated for what one does, it's time to launch another endeavor.

Eric just finally pissed me off enough to make the jump.
After two months of ban land, F it.
Apparently he didn't give a rat's petoot about my presence one way or the other, so screw it.

After over 14 years and a couple of thousand dollars hard cach donations, as well as many thousands of fundraising.......WTF???

I DO wish to hear from my generous GPUUG teammates about this.........
You have supported me all these years with gifts of GPUs and such.........so many gifts.
If this move at this time rankles YOU, I might thing about doing your bidding.
I would not be what I am without you, so, speak up please.

Meow for now, luv ya all,
Mark

I await a response from Eric, once he wipes the.........off of his face when one of his best contributors jumps ship.
He was a true friend for many years.
Now he won't even answer an email.
Go figure.
I just became too much trouble to deal with.........
And that is my problem. He could address it in a more sporting manner than dealing me an infinite freaking ban.
Like, perhaps, talking about it in open forum???
OH, too real life.
I get drunk and open.
This offends too many, I guess.
So the answer is to pop the cork for two months, eh?
Don't work for me.....
I have been monitoring the forums, and have seen some taking pokes at me for fun.
You can get on with it now, as I am no longer watching.
The kitties are sleeping now.
I may have a new kitten, BTW.
No pics, you are not worth it.

It is interesting that, given those who profess to be my 'friends', I have had little more than 3 PMs of support in the last two months.
So, I know now what you are.

I am Orange kitty. Hear me roar.
No link, look it up yourself.

Meowroar.

This is what inspired the kids.................
Give me a kiss...........

The quote was........loosly.
It seems that few listen until ya die.
I get no creds until I pass.
Sad.\

I get a lotta creds and then I die.
I do have a life outside of Seti.
It is larger than you realize.\\
As my life here on Seti was larger and more important to me than most of you realize.
It is OK. I shall survive this.

And when it all comes down to the bits.........what life has meant to those who have lived it...............
I have. I have held kittens at birth. I have held my love close. I have chosen my path and followed it. I have.
Now, you may follow my path and you may not. I am not asking you to.
I do ask you to respect the simple fact that I have taken 'the path less chosen'
You know the quote.

I can now pass with my bits intact.
You may as well.
All anger and angst are gone.
When my crunchers are gone, so am I.

Cats heal humans...............
This is not new...
Ginger cat makes the grade.

When one makes a life worth living, that's a treat, now isn't it?

Well............I have a bit of life, and nobody gives me creds for that.

No ordinary cat./
And I am not an ordinary man.
Once you get over that, we shall get on splendidly.

Do try now.................
