I'm sorry to say it, especially as I'm tantalisingly close to my 5,000th post, but this is goodbye.
I've been on BSG for just over a year. In that time I've made some good friends, and started to write comedy. I attribute the latter entirely to the spirit of constructive criticism and knockabout banter of the Critique section.
Sadly, in recent times, the Critique section has become an unpleasant place to visit, mostly because of a number of trolls - and the number of these trolls is very much a point of contention.
As a result of an intervention I made, Aaron has given me an official warning.
It's his right to run the forums as he sees fit and BSG (generally) is one of the more civilised forums on the net, mostly thanks to this. Certainly, it's one with better spelling.
But I won't take a public dressing-down for attempting, in, I hope, a characteristically mild way, to defend my friends and the spirit of the forums. So I'm off.
I'm grateful to Aaron, Mark and the rest of the mods for the fun I've had over the past year or so.
I'm sure I'll see several of you around and about, and I wish you all the very best.
Apart from the trolls. They can f**k right off.
