    Default Resignation

    Various things have lead me to this point, having originally - happily, though with slight bemusement, applied for citizenship, thinking it was a bit of harmless fun, I now think it is neither, and now believe it has about it something slightly insidious that can taint the impressionable youth that post here.

    Over time I have come to the conclusion that I do not and can not support various of the elements that TWC is founded upon, this it not a political posture I do not wish to be let back in if ... etc...

    It is just an honest expression that I do not want to be visually or officially associated with some of the ideas that arise herein (despite some sympathy for the owner and some of staff)

    I'd therefore please request that this user profile be officially removed from both artifex and opifex ranks / medals. And regretfully ask that the Wiki editor position be put up for new applicants.

    Some elements such as the Wiki, here are clearly good ideas that deserve support, unfortunately they do not override my distaste for some of other things inherent here, so they will be left to others to continue.

    Removing you from your citizen usergroups is probably the absolute hardest thing I've yet had to do whilst Speaker; its a heavy, depressing duty and one that I would rather have avoided, but there it is.

    I hope you will, sometime soon, return to the Curia, bringing your own brand of wonderful insight to us.

    I think many should think why good people like Makanyane are going away from Curia. Thank you Mak for all your contributions to TWC, which will no doubt continue, citizen or not.

    It's sad to see you go, mak

    You're right, though, in saying that citizenship is not the be-all and end-all of this site; you don't need a badge to contribute, as you have proved in the past

    Kage is correct, however; people here really need to have a look around the curia, then in the mirror, and see exactly what it is that mak disapproves of.

    Because she's right, of course, in so many ways

    You could have just done a me, and had yourself suspended from here... but no, you had to break my heart and spread it across the seven seas *sniff* how could you?

    On a serious note, sad to see you go mak, hopefully you'll still be game for some curial grumpiness elsewhere

    Ah well, can't say I'm surprised.

    I am really sorry if I played a part in this. Despite what you accused me of, I would have never thought some of my ideas would cause your resignation.

    No idea really. Been away for a day........... Anyway, you could ask Mak herself or otherwise Halie or Tac, because they apparently know the reason.
