You conveniently left out of your little narrative where you called me a shit, and you called me a fuck, while I did NONE of the things you listed above in your points 1, through 5. All of my posts from that thread are still up for verification for anybody to see. You deleted yours.

    Let's be clear - this site can be as unforgiving and vitriolic as it cares to be.

Yes, you can be, and have been.

    I'm a nastier mud-slinger than anybody here. That's not a brag, just a simple truth.

I know. I can thank you for introducing me to vicious personal attacks for the first time on this site. I noticed that you didn't come around after I responded to you in kind. I wish it had stayed that way.

    I don't deal with that level of inhumanity on Facebook.

I didn't deal with it on here until you came along.

    so while it can profess to being more elevated and humane, it has not demonstrated itself to be so.

It has been infinitely better in your absence. In fact, it has been perfectly so. Please go away again, and don't come back this time. Spare us your edited, martyred narratives, and non-self-aware observations. Tossing up a few links on a website doesn't grant you license to treat other people the way you did. At least not without some of them calling you out on it.

I think the number of votes on comments in the whole chain of events tell the tale. Yes I know Mk, ecib, and am pretty sure I know Steve (could be one of two people, but I think I know who it is), but would call any of them out the same way I called you out. I would also assume that at most other top commenters and posters probably know at most 2-3 other members in real life with the exception of Mark, sorry to pop your conspiracy bubble. I still think your desire to be handled with kid gloves is contrary to the idea of open honest discourse about ideas and yes things have gone on fine without you.

We have no crown for you, probably not the place you want to be.

Couldn't agree more.

Please don't be a dick about this, if Hubski is to grow at all, it will inevitable gain two members that dislike each other, for one reason or another. Telling each other to GTFO is rude and destructive to the site as a whole.

I personally enjoyed kleinbl00's writings and have noticed a drop in my enjoyment of the site now that I can't see that content here.

To each their own Thundera. I noticed a drop in my enjoyment directly due to Kleinb's attacks. I don't think you'd enjoy that sort of content if it were directed at you. If someone attacks you personally on this site in the future, you have every right to keep you mouth shut and take if it pleases you.
