Wow, first night back on the war forum in a while, haven't been through the first page of catch-up and I'm already getting a tic! LOL! Just wanted to make a couple of statements:

I love all out rough and tumble debate. I can give as well as receive, and I have been guilty on more than one occasion of being too harsh. The reason that I left the War Forum for a while was not because of restrictions or thin skin. It was out of respect for Ziroc and the Mods who make this place possible. I admit, I have questioned the authorities before ::sends a wink Memnoch's way:: but I came to the conclusion eventually that all of the enjoyment that I have found on this board is due to them! Therefor, I decided to take a break and gather my priorities before coming back onto this forum and biting the hands that feed by doing what they have asked the members not to do. It doesn't mean I won't mess up in the future, but I will never try to purposefully disrespect Ziroc (who deserves our utmost thanks) or any of those that he has deemed fit to be in charge. (In other words, I wanted to respect IW as I would another's home. If you were to visit someone, would you stand and argue with them if they asked you to remove your shoes before walking on their carpet)

My other statement is about Yorick. I cannot understand how anyone could have ANYTHING bad to say about him. Sure he slips sometimes (as do we all) and I don't always agree with what he has to say, but I sometimes wonder if it is the intelligence in wich he says things that upset some people. Yorick is one of the easiest people on this board to get along with. Quick to forgive others, easygoing, and undeserving of the negative feelings that I have been picking up while catching up on the current events of IW. I feel as though I am in high school all over again, where people get insecure over popularity issues.

Ziroc, Thank you for IW

Mods, thank you for having Ziroc's back and devoting so much time to our ungrateful butts

Hugh, Hang in there, friend. It's probably just a wave.

But I'm sure you know this.
