Full meltdown mode? Okay, maybe. Not quite. 
Anyway, this is an open declaration to my fellow forum members:
I've (essentially) accomplished what I wanted over the antecedent weeks. Namely, I just wanted to expose a certain poster for who he really was. I knew it. I was sick of the sanctomonious, holier-than-thou, self-important b.s. flowing out of him. And, I think I proved my point. I'm going to stop now, lest we read about some anesthesiologist in Florida walking into a hospital and opening fire.
This isn't a truce. This isn't to be construed as a concession. Mind you. This is an open declaration that I've proved my point. If I'm attacked, I will defend. But, I will no longer initiate the attack. There's no longer a reason. I've accomplished what I wanted to.
In the end, don't be a prick. That's all I'm asking. If you come here and act all uppity like this forum "needs" you and everyone under their breath thinks you're acting like it, chances are I'm the one who's going to call you out. If, in doing that, you think I too am being a prick in the process, that's when I'll remind you I don't care what you think - especially when I know what I'm trying to accomplish. This forum doesn't need any one, single poster to survive. That includes me. I know that. Some of you... I think you're mistaken in your own self-belief that it does. Recognize that, actually, you need it - not vice versa.
So, for those of you accusing me of being self-indulgent, I offer you following, as a reminder: a great, funny, self-involved, controversial, volatile, full-of-life, and awesome dude who used to regularly post here... which I hope proves my point... Read these, if you will, and see if those casting stones right now aren't themselves being just a little bit douchey in the process...

Lastly, for every Francis out there who takes this forum 100% at face value - and yourself just a little bit too seriously in the process - lighten up.
Thanks for your continued patronage. I'm not going anywhere. Anyone who responds to this message in attack mode... well, you're proving my point... your own utter douchebag-ness. Just know that.
If you want to send the loudest message you can send me , believe it or not, just ignore me. Don't declare that you're doing it. Just do it. And, then, STFU.
