Sorry to see you go Taro, and I completely agree with your reasoning and do not blame you in the least bit. You've always been a poster I've looked forward to seeing as you often times address concerns of my own and are always able to express them intelligently and non-combative. You will be missed. 

Really wish Invelos cared about their community a bit more and actually could tell what's causing the problems....

Im surprised you got banned considering half the stunts i puled on this forum to derail the stupid threads on here

... 
Means you're doing this on purpose???
That's frankly unbearable  

Well if the conventional ways of articulate well thought out posts are not having an affect. Just act like a total A hole and let havoc commence

Before long you force something to happen. I don't like it any more than you do.

I don’t feel comfortable in a forum where offenders get excused because ‘that’s just how they are’ or because ‘they’ve been around here a long time’;

This is the one that irritates me. There are far to many little goody goody bitches on this site that expect people to ignore Skip because he is Skip.

by little bitches I mean those that don't post anything when Skip says something, but post as soon as someone retaliates.

It's always a shame when anyone decides to stop coming in here (I myself have drastically reduced my participation for reasons not too far from yours Taro).

However, I would like to say that, as far as my memory serves, I've never had one of my posts moderated. There's no excuse for any post to be so bad that moderation is necessary.

There are a lot of bigoted, racist and small-minded people in this forum - but, for each of those, there are also half a dozen decent people.

The important thing here, as far as I am concerned, is Profiler itself. This program is bloody brilliant; and, as such, deserves the attention we all give it.
This forum really is totally insignificant when it comes to the program itself. I won't stop using Profiler just because I think some users are not worthy of the air they breathe.

Really, though, who cares what certain forum users think or say? I certainly don't. In the past I've let these people upset me - but now I can laugh at that and pity them for the idiots they are.

Enjoy Profiler!!!! Ignore the forum!!!

I disagree. I think there are very few bigoted, racist and small-minded people on this forum. They just have the loudest voices and drown out the great people sometimes.

Maybe I should have said in my experience there are a lot of...

Taro, I'm very sorry to see that you are leaving. I've spent the last hour trying to figure out what to say. I think I'm just very sad for the state of our forum and its moderation.

I hate to see anyone that adds something positive to a community quit because of a bully.

That first post Taro linked to is unbelievable.  How ANYONE can excuse Skip is beyond me. Shame on Ken & Invelos for tolerating Skip and his ridiculous behavior.
