To Mastermind

Siatris cobra brought something to my attention. The gloating nature of this post:
makes me think maybe I was mistaken regarding you, mastermind. And if so, then I'm woman enough to admit I was wrong.
I extend to you this olive branch: you have my personal invitation to join this community. I'll give you a chance because I do believe people need to be given a chance. But I expect you to be a positive contributing member. Mind your manners and don't come at me like an enemy combatant.
This place is currently a warzone, in case you didn't notice, with the enemy doing heavy bombardment and shelling. If you doubt me, just observe the attacks when I'm sleeping.
If a civilian picks up a rifle and starts taking potshots at the soldiers fighting, they lose their status as a civilian and become an enemy combatant, and will be treated as one. If you come in here acting and speaking like cobra, you will be shot. That's it. This is how it is. You maybe got caught in the crossfire. I am fighting not for my ego. I'm fighting for the rights of all who are here for the right reasons, for my own and their freedom to speak and to choose. This battle is over frequency. One side is very negative, the other is positive.
The battle is here because here everyone can sign up and participate. The enemy takes advantage of this. I refuse to be forced into making it a gulag where every post must be approved by myself. I have no interest in lording it over people here. But I do expect a modicum of civility. So, if you come in peace, then come and be welcome. I believe in giving people second chances. If I was wrong about you, then I apologize.
I mean this sincerely and I'm not too proud to admit I may have made a mistake about you.
I await your response.
