At the time I was banned, I had held a couple of basically inaccurate assumptions about the state of SW and the direction it was going.

First, that any intellectual vigor in the community was basically gone;

Second, that it was doomed to become a boring cesspit of old memes.

While the final clause of the second holds true, the recent ritual murder of the community homeopath reminded that there are still interesting discussions to be had here and holding myself back would be silly.

On the other hand, I'm going to avoid being as inflammatory as is my usual idiom - this is partially because I am too busy to come up with good invective, partially because it's an old schtick and I'm tired of it, and partially because of Stareye being a bloody-minded pawn of the international Zionist conspiracy. (Kidding.)

Don't expect me around too often, but remember that I'm watching and that I still have an unstoppable pimp train.

Actually, that's supposed to be written with an 'a'. Typo nitpicking is appropriate here, I think.

Anyone who loves Alec loves him for his invective as well as everything else.

I'm glad you're back and sticking around too. Spiderweb's not the same without a little two-fisted fury.

—Alorael, who guesses he'll have to get used to one-fisted fury now. And all these years he's been accepting no substitutes...

Are you kidding? My fiancee is worse than I am. We wouldn't be getting married if she wasn't. :P

How am I supposed to hate you now?

I'm still glad to see you'll still be here, even if not "here" here.

Nobody likes a gimmick. The most you'll ever rate is pity.

Food for thought.

-X- does not want to be liked. You haven't figured that out yet? And if people pity -X-, then they might give him free stuff! Not you people, but someone!

And which gimmick were you talking about?

Third-person speak, probably. By the way, I like you. :)

*glances at karma rating* Other people are warming up to you too.

I tried to think of something witty to put here.

Needless to say, I failed.

I know I gave -X- a five star rating. You piss oldbies off, which automatically gains my approval. After all, my enemy's enemy...

Just so you know, Dikiyoba pictures you as a comedic dementor floating around feeding off negativity and bemoaning the lack of respect for proper Grammar and Spelling these days. :P

I really don't mind you so much anymore (although when you first made your return and relentlessly begged Dikiyoba to put you in the story, you kind of annoyed the hell out of me). I just sort of wish you weren't always wallowing in self-pity, whether it's genuine or not.

Granted. But I think most people keep it to themselves.
