It wasn't my intention to post any more, but it seems to me that there is a misunderstanding among some people here. I'd like to clear that.
1- The administration team was, and still is, backing me up 100%. Yes, Zalim even my chaheetee admin :)
2- In all honesty, I was having a good time here, and I didn't mind the 'punches' at all.
That said, my decision to leave is based on events in other forums. In this forum, I didn't close a single thread, and I pretty much let go of most things on free run. I made an exception and rarely intervened in anything as a moderator. Despite that, this forum remained a good place to debate and argue.
I was acting slightly out of line of Gupshup policies in general, but the administration team allowed me that leeway and I can't thank them enough. At the same time, few events in other forums went against the principles (some of which I wrote above) I hold very dear. To remove myself from this duty was a no-brainer. I couldn't sit happy in this forum, thinking it's not my problem, when it was. However, to stop posting as a member was a tough decision, since in a month or two, I had grown to like you all and the debates here. Unfortunately, considering the manner in which few of the policies were being implemented, I didn't feel like being a part of Gupshup's readership.
In short, I have no arguments with anyone. It's just a matter of principle about the implementation of few things. Despite the disagreement, the major thing is that we all want to see these forums as perfect places for reading different perspectives and arguments. It's only in the implementation that we differ and it's no big deal.
The administration team is really great and gives moderators plenty of room to handle things their own way. The future moderator of this place 'll know that soon him/herself.
My thanks to all of you who wished me well here and those who emailed me.
May Allah bless us all and show us the right path. Ameen.
