Well said graelwyn!

Sadly, I'm still feeling like crap because of the flaming that has been going on in this thread. I'm starting to feel like I don't belong here. At least I have some forgiving people sticking up for me though. Trust me, I really appreciate that.
flaming...right.... If it were flaming, it would be attacks against you for the sake of attacks against you. These haven't been attacks, they've been concerns. Granted, not necessarily stated in a touchy-feely way, but that doesn't always happen.

That look like flaming to you? So some people (such as myself) are suspicious / cautious. That's what happens when someone claims to have "changed" for the better.
A ban generally means you aren't welcome. Your new account hasn't been banned. That suggests that you
are still welcome here, no? Not everyone is going to immediately accept that you are sincere. That whole phrase that G.W. Bush managed to completely butcher. If that upsets you, well, it was your own actions that got you here. That
is the past, and should be left as such, if you are as sincere as you claim.
