I think I am going to bow out of this before I get people hating me as much as they do mark.....You have my email address, whenever the mods grow a pair and stand up to him and put him in his place Email me and Ill come on back with my family here.....Until then, I dont wanna be part of making this place worse than it already is. Mark wins, Im gone.

I know you'll lurk but yeah I'll be emailing you.
and I don't think anyone here would ever hate you bro.

Man forget that! I've been on here at least 10 years and I'm not going anywhere. Anybody who doesn't believe that, ask Lia or Pastor Bob how long I've been around here. I used to be one of the DJ's on Intense Radio years ago and I was here then, and I'm not gonna leave because of anybody's igorance. I don't hate Mark, I feel sorry for him because he really probably doesn't know what he's doing, and it's probably stemming from a deeper problem. And mods, I already told him this in a PM.

It's sad when people leave because of online bullying. It's sadder though, when people have such a sad life that they have to sit around in their underwear in their grandma's basement, on their computer, and bully people.

Sad, sad, sad.

I'm done.

On to happier topics.

Stand up to me? I am amazed that some of you people are making such a big deal out of this, what did I do that was so egregious?!

How we, as mods, choose to extend grace and discipline to ALL the misfits and miscreants that frequent here is not up for explanation or a public vote.

Sanctuary International is quite a diverse place of personalities. What Mark "won" was a place where he could be himself, within a few boundaries and rules, as ALL of you have.

Especially you, Jim - we have accepted you FULLY, right where you are, and loved you UNCONDITIONALLY, through ALL your diets, meds, racisms, defiances, and your searches for different gods to suit your different views of nature and life.

When everyone else was AGAINST you, we have stood with you. And we will stand here for ALL of you. You may not agree with what we choose to do as mods, but we will still be here.

We don't give up - on anyone.

I'm hopin that Jim just takes a little cooling off period and comes back. I think that he was doing the mature thing and just walking away from a fight that could have been just nasty all around.
Sometimes you just have to walk away. That's something that I have never learned to do online or in real life. I will fight to the death about -well anything. and it never ends pretty.

yeah, i miss Jim.

well, he's on my myspace.....but still!!!

without getting into it, let me just say that there's more to it than just this last little thing. while I will keep him updated on what's goin on here I don't think we'll have our favourite clown back for awhile.
I swear you all are gonna break me down and make me make a myspace page. I am trying to hard to resist. It's bad enough with my forums and youtube.
