There was a member over there, that I respected.
While all this was going on, they literally made a post, bragging about the (Naming) member that they had goaded into attacking them, and getting them banned.
The post has been deleted of course. But it sadly drilled home how naive I am sometimes, in trusting people that "act" nice.
And screw them for doing that to me.
But at least I can get my stuff now, YEA! LOL
Good rule of thumb is to always save pic to your device before uploading to any websites. I spent at least a month last year downloading pics from my FB page so I don't lose them when I eventually get banned there.
People at ATS are just like people everywhere: They only show you what they want you to see and it's shocking when you see someone's true colors whether they are acquaintances on the web or a lifelong RL friend. Wasn't it Steve Irwin that said "... at least crocodiles don't pretend to be your friend before they try to kill you"?
As an American it's your responsibility to have your own strategic duck stockpile. You can't expect the government to do it for you.
