Hi again everyone!

[strongmanmike]

Yes it's true :ashamed:...direct from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke....after being anti-baptised for uttering an inappropriate word, I was banished for 60 days and nights into the IIS wilderness :scared2:. During this loooooong and lonely COVID19 time :drink: :computer:, spent gathering my thoughts :drink: and contemplating my future :drink:, the IIS demons came to me repeatedly and tried to tempt me to stay away and never return :evil2: :drink:....but maintaining strong convictions, built on nearly 15 years of loyal participation in the forum, overwhelmingly practising perfect supportive forum behaviour :innocent: and loving all (...well most :question:) of you guys, I resisted becoming bitter and twisted aaand...ta daaaa! ....I'm back! :D :hi:...sorry to those "well most" individuals....:rolleyes: and those who hate emojis :lol:

I know some from here have tried to contact me in that time, so if you are still wanting anything, I am here, PM me :thumbsup: (better clear some space in my PM folder...:confuse3:)

Now, off to my usual haunt, the Deep Space forum :D.....:cheers:

Mike

Welcome back.

Great to see you back Mike and I am so very happy that you fought the bitterness and were fortunate to be sensible and contrite.

The mods here do a wonderful job and I am sure they dont like doing severe police work but they really have to when some of us get carried away.

I have been hoping that you would come back ...the place just would not be the same without you.

Welcome back.

:welcome:back St Mike :prey:

Your training is now complete :fight: One is not a full IIS-er without getting kicked out of the forums :sadeyes: (just kidding :whistle:- I know that omnipresent mods see everything! :camera:).

[lazjen]

Needs more emoji.

P.S. Welcome back. :)

Thanks Alex



:thumbsup:

[xelasnave]

I enjoyed thinking of you fighting negative thoughts and rising above it all to make the right choice.

Having been thru a naughty corner experience myself I know what it is like not to have IIS in your life..but man it must have been real tuff during this lock down don't go around thing.

Bitter and twisted is under-appreciated...got a little quiet around here without you, Mike...welcome back :hi:

[Bart]

Welcome back, Mike. I had wondered where you had gone. :shrug:

Tell me..... what was the uttetrance........... :lol:


Not trying to get you banned again or anything!! :rofl:


As far as the emoticons go, that is fine as long as you don't do coloured writing as well. :P;):D

[LewisM]

Geez, I've never been banned here :lol: :whistle:.

Oh, that's tempting the Wild One again.

[strongmanmike]

[codemonkey]

Welcome back Mike! As has been said, the forum's too quiet without you... Deep Space didn't feel the same.

I'd wondered if you'd been sent to the naughty corner. I must have missed what led up to it.

[strongmanmike]

He he.... weeeell...and sorry Andrew :shrug:...but, it really was pretty benign...:shrug: :rolleyes:

Buuuuut let's just let bye gone's be bye gone's :) :thumbsup:
