Nah, it's not that mysterious with me. They had let the inmates run the asylum at that place and security was badly askew. I also had a running feud with a guy who was one of the charter members, who despite my apologies, wouldn't let a certain remark I once made go. Because of this feud, some who once called me friend began to doubt certain things about me, and also because of my "right wing leanings."
I eventually put certain clues together and was able to nail this "charter member" as also being a two faced, insipid and bitter old troll, and a thorn in the side of the function of the web site. This has not only vindicated me in light of those doubts, but I have been tracked down, made peace with, and credit has been given where it was due all along.
My move from that place was indeed definitive, and when Bigg Bosss Mann here at AmBack, once a member of that "other web site," asked me to think of a suggestion he had once made back in the "bad old days" at that "other web site," I agreed and came on here on February 8, 2004 I believe. It might have been the 9th.
That's it, plain and simple, that other place deteriorated. When I left briefly in '01, and at times subsequent, I had said that if security could not be guaranteed and camaraderie deteriorated, then and only then would I leave. That's why I left, and as long as there's security and camaraderie here, I'll stay.
