Hello, after a recent incident, which I will not discuss, I finally felt such a lack of respect in the Forum that I was compelled to act. If somebody asks you to stop doing something, perhaps that is a que. Whether you are swearing, making innapropriate comments, or simply ticking somebody off, stop and think before choosing to continiue. We all need to respect eachother. If somebody is doing something, just ask them to stop, a rule which I myself have failed to follow. Sometimes it is hard being nice, but it is all for the best; from one Forum user to another, trust me.
-Micro Farad
I tried to place this correctly, if anybody thinks it should be moved somewhere, by all means, say so.

I'm going to suck it up and come out with it, I was harrassing MF. Playfully, but definately.
I owe him an apology and i will not say it publically, but to his face, next time i see him.
As for swearing, those are one of my hallmarks i refuse to break. Or salvage, depending on your point of view.

Thank you for your apoligies. I shall take back my rash decision to temporarily leave the forum. None of us handled the situation very well, including myself. However, I think we should all take a deep breath and consider what has happened. Not all, in fact very few of the things I would like to see change, were related to this recent incident.
Excessive swearing (I'm not going to be a stickler and get all indignant when somebody says "crap") is not very nice to see. And I feel rather put out by innapropriate comment/jokes. And yes, that means ceasing to call people gay, even if you don't mean it. When somebody asks you to stop, stop. And if you know they don't want you to do it, don't do it in the first place (something I myself must work on). We are all flawed, and nobody expects perfection. But I expect many people would be much happier if everyone used their brains' filters more often. I myself was almost driven away from the forum by a very... disgusting chat.
