Nothin' to see here
Aaron sent this to me on Facebook and asked if Id post it. Figured I would, since he was such a part of the forums here for so long.

Aaron said:Ok, I read it[the 'Aaron Banned' thread] after many e-mails from different people over the last few days. You can post this there if you wish. No pressure here, it's up to you.
Lol. Not quite Dave, but almost. I posted a vid, where politicians were being childish (I'll send it to you, and ooooooh, you will agree). MY comments were making mock of their childishness. I used the word "poopee" MANY times. Should I have used shit? Maybe if I told people to "FUCK themselves" as Dave has done on more than a handful of times, it wouldn't have been questionable? It was a goofy, childish mock. It had nothing to do with literal scat. If I wanted to show literal shit, I'd just post Bush's face.
I was trashed while posting it, and I agree that to a sober mind it might have seemed like,,,,,, Huh? I was TRASHED. No, beyond trashed. In that way, David would have been correct. Saying, hey, we're getting a little popular now, maybe you shouldn't be so fukin drunk. Gotcha. Btw, Paracst is taking off, that's new to me. I been wanting it to happen for awhile. When I was first given the "job" (no there is no pay), I told Dave I was quite Liberal. His response was, Screw that, I'm an anarchist. So, I figured not too uptight, cool, I can be a mod, since I'm down with freedom of speech. I asked both Gene and David for rules to go by. They told me to use my own judgment. I've been doing so for well over 5000 posts. I've been here since 2 or 3 weeks since they started thanks to Royce from Watchdog. They did finally give me 3 rules to go by after I pushed on the phone. No trolling, threats and spam..... Nothing about saying the God awful word of "poopee". Or did I spell it poopey? I'm sorry if any of you are offended by my foul language btw.
If I have to be this thing called "mature", I'm better off playing in a funner sand box than David's.
I'm responding to part of a post I read above from David B.
"Aaron, in what I assume was a highly intoxicated state, put up a rather horrible post full of scatalogical references - it was heinous (and I say that personally having a fairly high threshold for such stuff). I sent him a message, telling him that I was deleting that message, and asked him to refrain from posting such material again, reminding him that he was indeed a moderator on these forums, and had a certain responsibility to be mature. He freaked out, and asked me to remove his account. I found his response unreasonable, and was concerned that he was coming a bit loose at the hinges. We liked Aaron enough to give him Mod status, but coming on here drunk and posting nasty, gratuitous craziness gave us little choice in how to handle the situation."
Btw. Some people will read into this thinking I hate David. I don't. Just know when I need to leave a party is all. I still support the Paracast and even been promoting it still.
Thanks Tommy for not insulting me. I thought you'd be cheering I left.
Sorry if this was long btw I've just been getting a lot of questions is all.
Thanks to Gareth for posting this. Good luck all.
