Brief corrective interjection here.

I stopped posting on off topic (I still post occasionally on the obituary section and like now to make a specific point about my absence) because it became tiresome and frustrating for me to be frequently called to book over controversial ideas I have come to by use of reason and the application of evidence and open to correction by people who write reams advertising and explaining the "faith of their parents".

You know the drill...

Warb is correct I chose to not write here. He isn't the contributor who brought me to this conclusive act. Maybe when the new forum goes online the fun sections of off topic can be separated from the political (and religion is wholly political in this context) silly sections so I can go back to what I enjoyed doing most here.

I lack the strength of character to keep my fingers from typing when I see something utterly daft or mean spirited on the internet and this leads me into conversations which poke at rather tender inflamed near the bone parts of my personality.

I have the same problem with DerTubez and Faceboot. I've been chased around the web by someone trying to get me to sign an inaccurate petition. I've had people ask me to 'friend' them only to make bitey presuming comments at me. You need a real masochist streak to volunteer to shove your face into that.

As for Warb I think personal comments about him are counter productive. I have come to suspect medical conditions play a part in some of what he says while the bulk of what he says comes from a person trying to do what he thinks is the right thing. Which is admirable and what I try and frequently fail to do.

It would not be a good idea for me to come back to off topic in it's current form and I think it's handy for Warb to have a virtual space to meet up with people and talk about the stuff he talks about.

Fun blethering and all but I'm currently having a Michael Caine moment, stuck in an angry sewer full of shouty pepper pots... again!
