Hello Seven.
I decided to check in after a week of being away from this sewer pit, and I see that things haven't changed.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that although I was extremely upset at you for your awful timing on the matter, I do not hold you entirely repsonsible for everything that took place in me leaving the forum. This forum has gotten progressively worse over the last year or so, especially for people like myself who happen to be posting from the other side of the Atlantic. Its been that way ever since I joined back in 2003, and quite honestly, it won't get any better. People from other countries see "america" as our location, and we are automatically stigmatized as being arrogant, obnoxious, and inherently evil, all because our government has done very little to change those stigmas.
For what its worth, I do not hate you. Now, that could mean absolutely nothing to you or it could mean a whole lot. That is for you to decide. Be that as it may, you are an intelligent young man who does have quite a bit to offer a global forum such as this. Just take into account what my fellow compatriots have to put up with. Are they totally blameless? No, I wouldn't say that at all. We just speak from our hearts more often than not. We also do not take pleasure in pointing out the inadequacies of every other nation's policies, either. That is something that has been bothering us for the better part of the last two years.
I'm also not coming back to this forum. Frankly, I see no reason to. I have a very full life in the "real world", and just don't really have time. I'm not insinuating that the people here who do post often do not have full lives, so please don't take that out of context. I have far more than my fair share of events in my life that are aggravating enough, the last thing I need is to be aggravated by someone who is thousands of miles away from me, and I would never even meet in my lifetime.
Take care of yourself, man. If you ever feel like contacting me, my e-mail address is

Sincerely,
Sergio
