I think I just got banned at ATS

[quintessentone]

Just Hi!

I've chosen not to re-join ATS with an ANNEE2.

Waste too much time on there as it is.  I'll be back IF it comes back.

I also wrestled with that decision but I ended up thinking that my countering the vile might do some good, so far I have two friends. YAY

We need you there, but it's your choice. Keep well.

Good for you and thanks.

I'm too logical and straight forward to deal with the useless crazies.

At least I can still read posts.  We'll see how long I can hold out or ATS gets fixed.

ANNEE

Moderation is present there. I'm wondering if they are trying to increase their online audience by letting previously banned members back as an experiment to see if the numbers increase. As we all know the bottom line is everything.

I don’t think the site brings in any revenue. I could be wrong.

All sites need revenue some how, don't they? Unless the owner has deep pockets.

Does anyone really win a debate on ATS?  

People take online stuff too seriously.

I just try not to dramatize it.

I haven't had a good debate on there in many many years. What goes on there are heated discussions devolving into lashing out, which I don't consider debating.

LOL 

You and I get called every "meant" derogatory name under the sun.

Does the very recognizable "Mallet Hammer" ever fall on the head of those with such verbal creativity?  NEVER

Well the mods have restricted me in miniscule other ways, not sure why it's a forever thing though. But, yeah, I have such a thick and hard skin that any poisoned barbs just reflect off me now.  Well most of the time, other times two mods think I have bad manners because I too can be very pointed.
