You are not a nice drunk, Mark. Nor a unique and special one. The qualities that made you such a liked contributor to the project are best displayed when you are sober.

Granted and akcnowledged.[/quote]
I do think, however, that I am most unique and special.
My kitties tell me so.........LOL.

I have had reason to, and others have, had some time to talk with my inner self.
Much chaotic discourse ensued.

It is not going to stop until one of us wins.

And right now...................I am not sure which one shall prevail.

If I never type another note, you will know which one did.

Meow.

And...........
You don't really know my mind.

Of anything I could do in this world.
It would be to bring back to life my Tigger.
I never recovered from her passing, really.
My first kitty.

I have just felt a chill.
One that precedes departure from this life.
I have never felt a chill like to cold of death before.
I may not come back again,

All right, a word from me then.

It would seem that everyone is a bit blindly touching their keyboards, not sure whether or not you can talk to Mark. Or that you'll get chastised for trying to do so. Mark is welcome here, as welcome as each and every one of you are.

He is also allowed to say or rant his piece, get it out of his system, just as you (general you) would be when you have something to say or rant about. Whether what is said is true or not is not for us (the moderating team) to check into. We're not the truth team. There's no need to continually report posts Mark did, just because you (general you) think/know/feel/guess it happened differently. Not unless every other word in a sentence is those swear words starting with F, will we step in and hide a post/say something sternly to you (general you).

Now, as ever, on any forums, if you find someone said something wrong, point that out to him. You may do so in the forums, or in PM, whichever floats your boat.
Just because Mark got banished from the Seti forums does not mean we are going to give him that same treatment over here.

With that in mind, I sent an email to the developers and other moderators of this board and told them of my intent, as stated above. I got positive answers back.
So just continue as you normally would. You (general you) would want that same treatment if it had happened to you.

That was one of the most amazing things ever put to post, Ageless.

I have my detractors of course.
But I do also have one of the most devoted followings in the Seti nation.

When I run afoul of the modship, there are things I say that I should not.
My bad, as the saying goes.

When it all washes out and I get the soap out of my mouth, I am still forever the kittyman of kindness my soul wishes me to be.

A few of you recognize that, and I do appreciate it. Very much so.

When the Lord above washes my soul of my sins, and he shall, what is left is pure gold, and you all know that.

I am sorry at times that you have to see the tarnished side of me.
It is also part of who I am.
Not the part I am proud of.

Thank you, Ageless for your immense understanding.

And a word from the OP, me, in the first post.

Here is a place for all those Seti people to commiserate when the Seti boards are down and they are feeling lost and without direction and absolutely must hit the post button.

Rules:
1) This is the BOINC development board. Their posting rules apply. Their moderator(s) enforce. We are their guest.
2) This isn't the Politics Forum on Seti, consider it the Cafe Forum lite.
3) Have fun. Yes, that is an order! :-)

As to Mark and replies, just keep it lite please. Serious discussion is fine, just not name calling, judgmental stuff, or cursing.

As to the Seti board, IIRC they do not want you to post anything a banned person says elsewhere back on their boards. They don't want the ban circumvented.

I stand down then, and shall try to be contrite.
I will not ever be totally silenced.
If I have to, I can find other ways to express my feelings.
I do not wish to go there.

Just be aware that I can.

Meow.

The question is are the kitties going to crunch on?

The question is are the kitties going to crunch on?

They are on standby currently.
The kitties are awaiting my further instructions.

It is getting rather cold in here.

I am getting weak.

Darkness setting in.

Not much longer here.

Even I have my limits.

it might be time.

Hope you sleep well, without the fan noise it may be a long night.

You..........every one of you.
Shall suffer the same fate the I shall.
You cannot escape it any more that I can.
Eric and Angela cannot either.
Pain is timeless. Truth is inevitable.
Life is not endless, kids.
It has an end point.
Mine is closing in on me.
And whether you know it or not, you'rs is as well.
No escaping it, kids.
Mortality escapes no man or woman on the planet.
And none of you is an exception.

Just because I happen to be from kpax does not exchange my life for yours, either.

It is just as expendable as yours is.

I happen to know and accept that my end of life is coming soon.
Most of you hope to stave that off, and refuse to accept what is inevitable.
God has given me this life. And it has an end point.
I welcome it. I do not wish to hasten it, but I am ready for it.

When the rest of you get ready to deal with life, let me know, and we can talk most frankly about it.

You and I have much to discuss.

Meow.

You are all just as mortal as I am
And shall not escape my fate.

I love the search.
It is my passion, my love of life.

It overtook me many years ago, and has never let go since.

I have my reasons. You know some of them.

You cannot take them away from me ever.
Until my dying day, kids.

Mark, it's very simple. Alcohol damages your relationships with other people. Irreparably. Even if you apologize (which I rarely see you do), the relationship is still damaged. If you want to stop the damage, stop the drinking. You'll probably live longer too.

Having drunk alcohol every week since you were 17 is not something to be proud of. It's something to be very, very concerned about.
