True. Though, I've always heard that dishonesty is the second best policy. :crackup:

In light of these posts, I feel like I should elaborate.
Tech Junkie is not the biggest reason why I came to this decision. As I said, it's a combination of things building up over time, not just this one instance, that has led me to this point.
I accept your apology TJ (which IS a HUGE deal to me since I think I'm the first person you have ever apologized to in the history of LPF) and like I said, it really wasn't you that made me come to this conclusion.
I know how TJ is, and have stuck up for him on several occasions when people were only looking at his negative side, by asserting the silver lining that if we just take him with a grain of salt, his trolling makes for good entertainment. I don't mean that in a negative way, either. Most of the time when he gets to trolling, it can be funny (for me anyway) but lately I haven't been myself here. I can't necessarily put my finger directly on why, I only know that it is a compound problem.
With the incident that started this whole thing, TJ tried to argue with me. I responded with a little bit of an edge at first, but then I just said that I didn't wish to fight because I didn't have the energy (and because I know how TJ is). As far as I was concerned, that was the end of it.
But then Niko decided it would be a good idea to join in and make me out to be the bad guy, even after the situation was over, and assert his "self-moderation" where it wasn't needed or wanted by pointing out my error, trying to make me feel stupid for not paying close enough attention, and telling myself and TJ to "stop fighting" when we already had. THAT's when I lost it. There was no purpose to it other than to try to make sure I understood who he thinks he is here. To assert some form of power trip. He is nobody, really, certainly no one in authority over anyone else here.
Niko is NOT Tech Junkie. Therefore I cannot take his reaction with a grain of salt like I can with TJ. I also began to believe that if Niko felt animosity towards me for no good reason, maybe others here do as well. Frankly I don't think that I deserve that kind of treatment since I don't think I've done anything shady or dishonest ever in my time here, I just made this one simple mistake.
When I tried to state how I felt about the whole thing and explain it, Niko's only response was to accuse me of acting immaturely and of getting upset over nothing. And I'll admit that I might have made too big of a deal out of it. The fact remains, I made a simple mistake, and none of the above parties were even remotely willing to let it slide, even though I have a very good record here IMO, and have not had a history of behaving badly.
To be completely fair here, I don't think that I'm completely innocent of any error in judgment. I am angry about this and I didn't hesitate to show it at the time. In the last paragraph I stated that Niko accused me of making a big deal over nothing. I don't view someone's attempt at showing off their internet "muscle" to "moderate" valued members who don't deserve it as "nothing" and that, I think, is my real error in judgment. It's the internet. Who gives a shit, really? At least that's how I should be thinking.
So until I can force myself to think that way, a vacation from LPF is in order.
I very much appreciate everyone who has been kind to me in this thread and in my time here. Perhaps when my own issues are sorted, I will return.

Raid works better..
It works. I walked into a hardware store, took a can off the shelf and spayed my bush. After getting up off the floor, and a tissue to wipe my eyes, the little F'ers were gone.

Sorry to hear this ElektroFreak.
I may have very little time on LPF, but I do know this. Your a very valued member here on the forum. You always have plenty of knowledge to offer and share. I also think it's safe to say, your not always involved with all the LPF drama, that comes and goes.
It's members like you who are the backbone of LPF
Yes, to some of you veterans, LPF has changed allot. Mayby times are not what they used to be. Things change some times good some times bad.
You also have to remember, their seems to be a big resurgence in peoples interest in lasers, The blu- ray laser pointer. Their just now popping up on all these little import sights. Then you have ever increasing media coverage over lasers and aircraft interaction.
All this, just attracts more people to forums like this. More people = more drama. Some stay and become productive members, some will loose interest and leave.
LPF might quiet down someday. Until then, every member like you is needed. Even more so, when LPF is overflowing with drama.
Also, just because you publicly denounced your status as a active member. Does not mean you need to stick by it. This is one of the few times. One can say their going to do something. Then not follow through with it, and get away with it

I was trying to be environmentally responsible by not using chemicals...

I can never tell if these threads are goodbye notes, or cries for attention. Maybe a little of both?
