starting over
I know the getting to know each other forum is mainly intended for those members who are new to this place, but I thought I'd use this as a platform to start over and repudiate my formerly erratic and aberrant disposition while on WP. I had a lot of turmoil and rancor plaguing me (as I still have now) that was so overwhelming that I began to lose and become diverted from myself to the point that I slowly saw myself being entangled in the PPR section and its concomitant controversies first as an aberrant distraction, but then over time I began to slip away from myself and become effaced by all the politics and contentious topics which only saw myself being effaced rather than enjoying this forum. I became mired in fights and wrangling with other members, and even though there are definitely key moral issues I hold as sacrosanct and immutable it's still painful to realize how much my intractable personal problems led me to feel hopeless of ever getting better, creating a vacuum where the PPR occupied and wasted my time and self. Notwithstanding the fact that my moral positions on many of the things I argued are still very similar now as they were before I was banned (such as the Palestine-Israeli conflict, in which I know that Israel is mostly in the wrong and I will never repudiate that point given all the evidence I've seen) and thus I don't repudiate my moral principles, I do wish to extricate myself from all the controversy, politics, politicizations and other aberrations which consumed me in the PPR due to extenuating circumstances and start over on WP. I'm probably sounding confusing and a bit turgid, but what I mean to say is that what you saw of me before I was banned wasn't truly me more than a dark time in my life marring me; all the pugnacity, cantankerous and hot headedness earlier hopefully becomes erased and forgotten and things get better for me. There's so much to explore on and enjoy on WP and I don't need PPR drama to mar anything further.
Anyways, glad to be back on WP. Introduction wise I'm salad, hobbies include horseback riding, fencing, chess, and reading awesome things (anything interesting really, preferably non-fiction). Actual interests include Renaissance era Disney movies, shakespeare, martial arts and other non-fiction topics in the STEM fields.
I guess that's it for now.
