Well, I was rather bored, so I figured I'd come over and see what Slay's leaving blog was actually all about. I very much doubt you'll read this Slay, short of you returning here for any length of time, but I suppose I may as well say that, for the record, I did not necessarily leave 'because of' you. I left more specifically because I was not willing to reconcile with a system and with an administration that saw your institution as a bureaucrat as a necessary evil in the absence of Bach. I certainly disliked you, mainly because of your rather bigoted remarks in the past, but my answer to that was mostly avoidance instead of confrontation. Despite everything, I do think you wanted to help the wiki grow, and your intentions were, in a sense, pure. My issue is that your views of purity and mine are rather different, yours apparently conforming to a particular faith, and mine to none. To me that stood as an eternal mark against you, because in my eyes, Bureaucrats should stand as the moral heart of the wiki; checks on the power of the system and thus themselves.

I will also take a moment to note, once again for the record, that you were not the only reason I left either, Slay. A lot more factored into that decision than you can possibly imagine. That's why, in case anyone interprets this comment as any form of return, this is probably one of the last few marks I make on the wiki. I will continue to visit, but mostly because I cannot ignore the piece of myself that I put into each of my creations. I can't yet leave Lilith behind.
