"no" on my offer to allow you the right to continue to post on the main board.

FYI -- I can (and have) excused your poor board demeanor for many years.  Don't make the mistake of thinking that is what this is about.   While that alone does give me due cause to excuse you from this place (as many e-mails from others have urged)...it's not the reason. 

Be clear that so long as I run and own these boards I will not allow you or anyone else to repeatedly debate my warnings and call out my moderation.  I've let you do it too many times already and I just won't tolerate it anymore.  You have pushed and pushed and I congratulate you on finding the end of my vast wealth of patience and tolerance. 

With regard to the money issue...your voluntary (monetary) contributions have been appreciated.  Hopefully you have gotten some benefits from them, and I will fully understand if you choose not to contribute next time.

I'm sorry you made the choice you made.  You're a good poster on the main board and I really hate to see that end.  But it's your call.
