Damned if I do, damned if I don't...
Sometimes, I regret ever having the idea to create the Cell. Sometimes, it's more trouble than it's worth and at times it's been way more of an emotional drain than it really needs to be, although perhaps that's only because, at those times, I allowed it to be an emotional drain. But you know, I've found that it does get easier to handle over time

And, hey, I didn't say that you didn't do the right thing in bailing. If you feel that's what you needed to do for whatever reason, noble or ignoble, then you needed to do it. If you don't want to get involved, if you don't want to say what you think and try to combat cliqueishness and thus get your hands dirty and have to argue with people, then so be it. I can even understand it; sometimes I wish I didn't feel so compelled to get my hands dirty in that way. All I'm saying is that if you bailed for whatever reason, then you've got no right to complain about the state of the fandom in general or the Cell or how it's run or the people who inhabit it or any other aspect about it. Moreover, it really shouldn't matter to you, should it? But then again, as I said, apparently it does matter and apparently it matters quite a bit...

In any case, complain all you like. I'm still not entirely sure why it apparently matters to you so much, but...Well, to each their own. I'm sorry if the Cell's yelling is keeping you awake at night. Unfortunately, there isn't much that I can do about it, aside from what I'm already doing.

But hey, while we're on the subject of combating clique snottery, just whose prize idea was it to change Lunatron's title to "Hypocritically Nit-Picky"? I'm guessing either an admin or mod, given my limited understanding of how that sort of official board control works... and while I take a look at her original comment and find myself privately agreeing that it's not entirely unwarranted, that title change still comes across as a low, cheap, dirty, sneaky blow to the crotch. Unless, of course, that was her original title before all of this hit the fan (which a quick question to Luna herself would easily confirm, I suppose), in which case I apologise for giving you the stink eye and for my unvoiced suspicions of another kind of balls out hypocrisy happening.

Bonus points for being too pussy to post your own damn name in your comments too.

And...I was defensive? Where, might I ask, was I defensive? I merely asked why you were so concerned about the situation if, indeed, you had "bailed" from the Cell and considered petty arguing about Transformers not worthy of your attention, as you'd claimed in your comments. I wanted to know why it mattered to you in the slightest what went on on a board that you claimed to have abandoned. You have never answered any of my questions. Thus, I sense that you are merely attempting to tick me off with your baiting. I assure you that it will not happen.
As for Lunatron's title, as Dinogrrl said, it was given to her quite a while ago, and the wording of her title was entirely at her own request, as you'll see if you take a look at the thread to which Dinogrrl referred you. So, as Dinogrrl said, I suggest you do a bit of research before you spout off wild accusations. And, again, I find it interesting that you even knew what her title was, given that you had, as you said, "bailed" from the Cell.
As for my "angsting"...Believe me, that wasn't angst. Not that I'm incapable of angsting, mind you, for I am very much capable of doing so. But that was not angst. That was merely contemplation. Nor am I engaging in protracted arguing with anyone here, unless you're counting my discussion with you. As I said elsewhere, there are times when events prompt me to contemplate things that are going on or have been going on in my life. This was simply one of them. What is a journal for if not for documenting one's contemplations?
