now that part isnt true. i wasnt interested but i wouldnt lock a thread for that
i admitted it to janie in pm so i guess i'll air it here too. i flubbed it. i thought i recognized threads like these from multiple years of boarding as the kind that never really pick up from everything that happened, and the kind that everyone want to basically be put out of their misery from and move on from. thats probably still true but i wasnt the guy to do it. i responded rather curtly to the PM of "lets group hug" because i saw no reason for it, just trying to convince ourselves that we're all "just fine now" even though theres was very much the feeling that these same things would come back later because they are not nearly resolved

in short, whether you believe it or not, i really did distance who i was as a poster (which sean will call everything but an asshole), than who i was as a mod. i just made a different kind of quick decision (because honestly, its just moderating. i dont have the weight of anything on me so the life of a thread isnt particularly *precious*) that i goofed on and people put the two together and assumed i was acting out of spite. but in my experience mods always end up coming into threads like these and turning the lights out.

but that experience hasnt transfered here, and janie knows how things "work" and she opened it back up.
i dont really believe that things could be turned around to be more constructive, at least not if i decided to get back into it and have more of my own version of things, but i guess i'll have to be proved wrong, because, and i know this is internet drama move 101 but really, i'll not be modding this one particular board until i know you people more at least.

ok.
