I got banned because Altima got sick of me being myself and not just doing what he told me without question....

The mods and admins decided to clamp down on any sort of dissent, and the way I tended to argue things (even though I was, by their own admission, improving a lot), and gave me an ultumatum (after I did something pretty minor, without being on any sort of warning at the time) saying that the next offense would lead to a permaban.

Then, Altima pissed me around for a month acting like he cared and intended to listen to me, getting me to write a message to the admins and mods putting across my case, when in fact he had no intention of taking any notice of what I had to say. He also promised me I wouldn't get banned unless I did something really bad, which was a total and utter lie.

I got annoyed at their lack of any response, posted the message publically (which, given that they posted the ultimatum publically, was not unreasonable) and Altima just locked the thread rather than allowing a dicussion to form, threatening me with a ban if I continued. I then made a blog post stating my position and trying to get the mods to talk to me, which he immediately banned me for, against even their own rules. Then, he refused point-blank to discuss it with me in any reasonable manner, despite my desire to compromise.

Hey, you there? I haven't seen you around in ages....

I got banned from BL, thanks to Altima, and now I'm starting my own forum. If you want to come along, you're welcome. I dunno if we're allowed to advertise sites like this, but if you reply to me I'll send you a PM with the details.

Hey, thanks for the info I think I will check out the manga after the anime

I just noticed your visitor's message about my birthday... -sheepish look- thank you very much

Nah, haven't joined yet. I don't know if I intend to. I wasn't very active there last time I was around, and I don't know what I could really contribute to the conversations.

And I'm greeted by Stein on your profile

My avatar's Fukuyama Masaharu, awesome awesome J-pop artist! He's great if you like ballads or rock

I wish I could have sympathized with Sakura. I kind of gave up on trying when I got to the point where she was in the rain with Shirou and I just didn't care.

Eh, well, it's love/hate. I enjoyed the story and the additional development of the characters, I just didn't care all that much for Sakura or the romance. So, it's kind of a love/hate thing.

Nice new Gil avvie, BTW. ^^

i was the one who made that thread
