Well . . . it seems that my tenure with
hogwartsishome has oome to an end. I'm not that upset about it, though. Because, in the end, I was proven right. Ever since I became a member in that community, there have been people who have continuously been offended by things that I have said in the posts. I admit that some things deserved a little complaint. However, most of the complaints against me were made out of prejudice and grudge. My personal beliefs on the matter was simple. The community is meant to be for fun. As such I treated it. However, there are
some people in the community who take the fantasy Harry Potter community WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. They treat it as if it is their whole life. I cannot do that. It was just for fun. I have a real life. I have a full time job, a wonderful girlfriend that needs my undivided attention, and I am a professional fighter. Not to mention having friends. I travel alot, and work too damn much. In what little time I have left, I spend it ALL with my girlfriend. But, when I am off of work and she is at work, I had time to have a little fun on the computer. I joined the HIH community because it seemed like it would be a fun experience. However, from day 1 in
platform_934, I have had opposition from several sources. Some sources have been silenced because I have never actually gone beyond the perimeters of the rules in the community. But, due to the grudges and prejudices that were held against me, rules were broken on their ends (which I did not complain about because I actually have a little class), and
I was banned from the community. See
this post for details. I can honestly say that my comments that were viewed as controversial was specifically meant to call out those who were unnecissarily rude to the applicants in
platform_934 by being incredibly TOO picky and "
No Voting" applicants and demanded elaboration after he/she had written several paragraphs already. IMO, it really only takes reading the first few questions of the app to get a determination of which house he/she belongs. Anyway, by coming to the defense of the applicant(whom cannot reply due to the rules of the forum), people were offended and considered me rude to applicants too. In the post that I was banned for, I specifically said that I was joking. However, that was still not good enough for the grudge holders. Oh well, se la vi. HIH (and it's sub-communities) is dead to me.
