This arrived from Breaders this evening. I post it in full.
Afternoon matey,
Hope you're ok.
I've just had a scan through Nuts and saw that you said you've got a few personal bits and bobs to deal with at the mo, and I hope everything's ok and it's nothing too sinister. I'm not prying, I just hope everything's ok, mate.
And cheers for the thread about yours truly. As you've already surmised, I'm not really interested in coming back and you can copy and paste this bit by way of an explanation if you like:
I used to love contributing to Nuts. I put a lot of effort into trying to write funny stuff which would hopefully put a smile on peoples' faces. And I'm happy to admit that I possibly strayed too far over the boundary of what could be deemed appropriate on occasion but that's just me.
However, some of the moderation decisions made me start to question whether it was worth bothering.
I was hung out to dry for supposedly dragging one of the mods' partners into the debate and it was deemed a personal attack. It wasn't. I apologised at the time but stand by what I said. I didn't abuse the person in question and I am still to this day scratching my head at some of the comments posted by the site's admin team about it all.
And that was the beginning of the end for me.
I have absolutely no doubt that a lot of good work is done by decent people behind the scenes at Nuts for precious little reward. Without them, there would be no Nuts. However, if they continue with their seemingly arbitrary moderation policy and public attacks on contributors, the site can go only one way. Down.
But I honestly can't see that changing anytime soon because of the characters involved. Believe it or not, I do not have a personal vendetta against Sluffy but his lack of self-awareness when criticising others for doing precisely the same things he does is beyond the pale and it's not something I can idly sit by and watch without commenting.
And that's what got me banned.
So thanks to everyone who's asked about me. I particularly hope Rammy's doing ok after his recent traumas and that was the one time in recent months when I regretted being banned from the site because I wanted to offer him my best.
I've got no plans to come back, cap in hand, grovelling to be let back in, as life's too short for that and as I kept getting told, "it's only the internet afterall" so I'm not taking it too seriously and am perfectly happy where I am now.
We've bought a place in Spain and the plan is to sell up and move over there full time at some point in the next couple of years.
I'll always keep a weather eye on Nuts and I offer everyone sincere best wishes for the future but you won't be hearing from me again anytime soon.
Adios,
Dave Bread.
