[Yoda]

You are too skilled at English to do two complete misrepresentations and thus I can only conclude your doing it deliberately.

Im not going to even bother arguing here (don't mistake that with I can't) - take down my animations and I am no longer posting here.

Mathew,

For whatever the reason, you have been in a major self-destruct mode for some months now. Your arrogance, negativism and high-handed disregard for others have been the source of much divisiveness on the site, including this last sad episode. Until you resolve those issues, I not only accept your resignation from the site, I applaud it.

The request to remove 'your' animations -- how quickly we forget the inspiration and collaborative effort that was their origin -- was as predictable as it was petty. They now are down and will be replaced in time by other efforts less sensitive to personal whim.

You have both taken much and given much during your tenure on this site. I will miss your positive contributions, but not their price tag. You are welcome to return when you are able to check your hostilities at the door and conduct yourself in a civil, mature manner.
