thanks for the reference.
after a skim through that thread from 4 years ago - i stand by my actual original statements and still regard them as
technically accurate and thus unworthy of retracting. Abiet after 4 years... i now probably have a differing level of passion/apathy about the subject.

That "tired" thing i recognise as a "woa post" disclaimer at the end of that post. As Neo can attest ... i can get rather frank and hurtful when i'm tired. And that's what that post was, honest, personal even, there was a fair bit of raison d'être in there. It was pure honesty, i wasn't
trying to be hurtful, but it tends to be a sideeffect.

i knew the post was going to be fine, because articulated (poorly or not) hatred against non-christians, muslims, progressives, etcetcetcetc had been for standard mode of operation on the forum for a while. So call it an experimental post, in seeing what it was like with the weapons spun around.

I think i was kindof panicing back then, because your announced reason for returning was something along the lines of leftist-mods leaving, so it was safe for you to come back, or something. To my mind - those words were a sort of outside confirmation, a reality check, of my feelings about the direction the forum was taking. It was like... an autumn leaf falling on one's face, suddenly jarring one outof a delusion that it's still spring.
So... suddenly cognizant of the whole picture - i decided to spell it out what was going on in the forum, the horrible picture.
