Life is interconnected. That's the way it is. Trying to separate pieces into little boxes on the hillside without recognizing their interconnectedness is artificial and contrary to the way life it.

As to Laz, it wasn't inconsistent use of moderation, it was outright lying. We made a clear and simple agreement. If I did X, I could post on SMBR. I did X. I kept doing X. I never violated X. But he rebanned me for something that had nothing whatsoever to do with SMBR. He lied. He is dishonest. His word is not his bond. That can't be shuffled under the rug with the phrase "inconsistent use of moderation."

It is my view that you are afraid of advancing any of this to resolution.

Then your view is just plain wrong. Neo offered a proposal to advance it all to resolution, and I accepted. Nobody else did. Neo is one of the most direct and objective posters here, hardly a person I could manipulate, and indeed his proposal came entirely out of the blue to me as, presumably, to everybody else. I was ready for resolution. Nobody else was.

I am the only other person who has advanced an actual, concrete proposal to resolve all the separate issues. I am the only person seeking actual resolution. Everybody else is just pointing their fingers at me, forgetting the fact that when you point one finger at me you are pointing three back at yourself.

many have made efforts to help you get back on your feet.

Bullcr@p. Neo and Karen are the only posters here who don't have overtly hostile intentions. Karen hasn't offered any specific proposal, but has understood that there are many "somethings" involved. Neo has offered an actual effort, which all the other particpants rejected out of hand.

All the other hands offered to me have held sharp knives. Yours, frankly, included, though at times you almost seem willing to lay the knife aside. But not quite.
