Well, over the past few days there's been more drama on dramaforums.com. It seems certain people like to use me as a scapegoat. I'm going to show why I feel like I'm being unfairly targeted. Be prepared for a wall of text.
It all starts here in this thread.

A problematic member, BobH was stirring up drama in that thread with his snide remarks. Me being tired of seeing Bob trash good guys on this forum like Jerry and Dave, called him out on it. A few other members called him out on it as well. (ChipDouglas, ElektroFreak, etc). Not to mention pretty much the entire forum has had problems with BobH at some point or another. Eventually, this thread ends up closed by Simon to prevent more arguing. I don't agree with that decision, but it was the mod's to make, not mine. Eventually through enough complains, BobH is banned by Avery (Good job once again). After that, Jeff has the nerve to make this.

Here we go again. Jeff found it necessary to blame me for the closing of his thread. Why, I don't know. All I did was tell Bob to relax, and he got all pissy leading to the other altercations with the other members I mentioned. Was I wrong to do this? I'm not going to re-write what I said in the wet dream thread, I encourage you guys to read for yourselves. Sure, I swore in that thread. Should I have? Probably not, but I don't appreciate people calling me a "fucking drama queen".
While that mess is boiling over, Avery starts this thread.

In that thread, I also brought to Avery's attention that another previously banned member has returned once again. His name is irrelevant to this post, but you can see it in there if you'd like. Note that in this thread Jeff has the nerve to ask that I be banned, and that BobH be unbanned. Remember, the majority of the people in this forum have had a problem with BobH at one point or another. Now, being that I felt bad that Jeff's thread was closed (and even though I admit I'm not crazy about him), I went ahead and requested that Avery re-open the thread due to the fact that it should not have been closed in the first place. Do note that Jerry admitted that he sent a PM to Simon which resulted in the threads closing, which he had every right to do.
Long story short, I feel I'm being unfairly targeted. Although we have an Admin and a Mod here, we're still a self moderated forum. Avery always asks us to help him out with letting him know about problematic members. If you feel I'm being a problematic member, I feel you should at least have the decency to let me know via PM first instead of running to the Admin.
Here's the deal. I'm not one to stay where I am not wanted. I'm starting my own ban poll so to speak. It will be open for seven days. What I am proposing is this. Should I stop posting on these forums? If the majority of you answer yes, I promise and swear to never post publicly in this forum again. If the majority votes no, then I will continue about my business as usual. I only ask that it not be a full ban because I do conduct business via PM's from time to time. Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and I want all of your honest feedback.
