That's bullshit. Here's the "very specific" information you PMmed to me:

But anyways, I just stumbled upon a post of yours over at Straight Dope a little while ago - I just joined there today; interesting site...

I did a double-take when I saw you basically said EXACTLY what I was saying in my PMs to you about taking a break 2 days BEFORE this issue ever came up...

Oh, and to explain my fairly lengthy absence: I guess I just need a break. I'd been posting every single day for nearly two years, and after a while one just burns out. Plus, I needed to sort out a few things in my life and do some general personal maintence that I'd been neglecting. Anyway, I am, and always have been, alive and well. I do appreciate the concern, though!
I just posted a public reply to the thread basically reiterating what we've already discussed in PMs. You seem like a good guy - again, it's a shame we couldn't have talked on phone for these text-based exchanges often lead to misunderstandings ... but anyways, it appears we may both finally be on the same page ... ??
and here is my (admittedly irritated) reply:
I don't need a nursemaid. I said I wasn't getting frustrated or stressed out by my activities as a moderator here. I told you this repeatedly. Why you chose not to believe me when I told you that is not clear to me. You do not know me well enough to determine whether I am actually frustrated or stressed out or not. The fact is, your decision to suspend my moderator status caused every last bit of stress and frustration I am currently experiencing related to this board. This bears repeating: YOU caused the very problem you claim you were trying to solve. Is that really what you wanted to do? Yesterday, I told you I wasn't angry about your decision and that was true at the time, but after thinking about it - and reading some of the many replies in the announcement thread - I'm a bit angry now. I have the distinct feeling you're peeing on my head and telling me it's raining. I'm not stupid.

Whatever. Clearly, you are not going to listen to me. You think you know better than I what I need, so you do what you gotta do.

Don't take my words at another message board out of context. You don't know my history there, nor are you aware of my personal situation leading up to the time I left there.

I'm not a petty person, and despite my anger I bear you no ill will. Nevertheless, I won't likely feel the same about this place again, whether you reinstate me or not. Which is really too bad. I liked it here and I enjoyed both participating and moderating. So, thanks. Thanks a lot.
I know you can read, Ron. Fine, ban me. I don't really give a damn now. You've proven yourself a liar, as far as I'm concerned.
