It's not suspicion if you practically admit you've been here for a while and have to change your DNS settings to get here. Frink already pointed out his large donation to Adywan, that he almost immediately started hanging over Ady's head as soon as he "joined", after we already knew that Janskeet had made a large donation.
The correlation is actually even tighter. Not only does the fact of donation indicate a possible identification with Janskeet, but also the intention behind donation matches perfectly. Ady mentioned that Janskeet's donation was made expressly with the purpose that he could upgrade his PC enough to produce ROTJ:R in 1080p. Then, when you came on the scene, you started complaining that your "substantial donation" was intended not for the purchasing of model materials, but for the purchasing of components to upgrade his machine.
In short, you fail at socking; we saw right through you.

If and when I come back in September, can you guys forget about what happened in the past? Could you put all this sock suspecting and resentment towards me behind us?
Here's the thing: If you're expecting some kind of reconciliation, it's going to be contingent on your behavior. Contrary to popular misconception, the regulars on OT.com are not a bunch of petty, cliquish, merciless elitists. While the stench of your belligerence and immaturity is difficult to overlook, I would imagine that most of us would be willing to forgive if you would be willing to reform. As I told JediTray, the only stardard of judgment that an online community can really go with is an individual's behavior. Start acting maturely and quit posting a bunch of crap, and maybe eventually your track record will become water under the bridge. But it's not going to happen overnight, and your behavior is going to have to change completely.
Which is probably impossible, since "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."
