Welcome back. Will you be sticking around this time? What made you want to return?
Sure, Ill stick around. I wanted to return because I had been coming to this site since its very early days, back when you had all the soundtracks for each FF game up for download. I believe that was back in 2002? Anyway, its very active here and I would have stuck around if it wasn't for the reason I thought everyone disliked me off the get-go. But as I said, I don't blame those particular people. Going back to that thread, it seems multiple people who participated have actually been banned.

Self-criticism, self-awareness, and the ability to acknowledge that you feel you have done something wrong is incredibly difficult. So, without knowing what exactly you feel you did wrong because I haven't read that thread, I'll still give you a tip of the hat for sitting down and doing some intense self-reflection.

After acknowledging that you feel you've done something wrong it takes even more strength to decide to do something about it, and even more strength of character to make an open statement about it to others.

So if you feel you really screwed up somewhere, it can be really tough to get others to forgive and forget. It can be tough to forgive yourself. Still, I respect you for trying. It takes guts. So even though you're ashamed, you deserve to give yourself some credit.

Does this seem like an EoEo type thread?
Read the opening post for a bit of an idea, if you like. Sure, if you think this belongs into EoEo, be my guest if you'd like to move it. Perhaps it might get a little more attention in there. I was kinda hoping to get some acknowledgment from some of the people involved in the thread too. In any case, Im a far more positive and level-headed person now. Far more open to reason without getting emotionally charged. While I continue to have some rather strong views on some controversial topics, I would hate that the above thread I linked be a representation of how I think, because It's nonsense.

Thanks for the welcome back!
