I had a little trouble signing on as "copewquitn" so took this name. Hmmmm, makes me wonder if I've been banned as one of the shit disturbers...
So I've had a little time to think about the last week of my life and all's I gotsta say 'bout it is....
Fuck it! Fuck it w/ a big ole donkey dick!!! And if that offends you, then well... fuck you too. (Kirk?)
I'm still quit, you're still quit so whatever. I feel kinda like a turd for instigating all the shit that went down, but ..... fuckit.
I would however offer this in reflection..... my only wish on this earth is to know that all the addicted souls who desire to free themselves of nicotine are able to do so. Whether it's here or somewhere else, all I really want is to know that all the lost souls have a place to call home.
All that aside I'd also like to offer a prayer that one day we may yet again become a unified community. QSX/QS2, Straight/Gay, Rep/Dem, Black/White, Male/Female, Christian/Athiast: does any of it really matter in this endeavour? No! I say no fucking way any of it matters! The only thing that matters is that we're here for each other.
Aqua/Flav... can't we all just talk and re-unite the community?

I didn't know this was actually you until I saw the exact post in 0905 on QS2. I haven't been banned as yet, but I expect it'll happen today. I won't remove my posts. It's the way I feel. This is something that has been around, tolerated and encourage since I quit 329 days ago. Now it seems only select group of people will be allowed to express themselves.
As for uniting the sites, I don't run this site. There are 7 administrators, none with any more power than the others. I think it has to be that way. No one person should be able to dictate your quit. Right now, only 3 of the admins here are banned from QS2. I imagine I'll be # 4. I'm not going to call Dave names or yell and scream, I'm just not going to kow-tow to anyone.
Patrick, I have a great deal of respect for you. You are a great quitter. Could you have handled things differently when this all started? Maybe. Should you have had to? I don't think so. You stated your opinion, qualifed apologies were offered and they were thrown back in the faces of thos apologizing. Not by you, but by others. For a community to work, all voices need to be heard. At QS2 that isn't happening. And no, it isn't anything goes here. We are in the middle of setting up the rules and we've even drafted a constitution. GMS has written a kick ass draft that I think is going pass with little or no changes. But no one person is going to decide what is and is not acceptable here.
Stay quit my friend. But you're asking the wrong group of people to be understanding. If you disagree with Flav, you're not allowed on his site.
