I am being encouraged to come back and participate in the discussions. If I do it must be known that I will not be participating in any contentious threads. I will not be getting in pissing matches with people over semantics, etc. If I need to, I will simply leave again.
I left because I am ill. I have been diagnosed with Hepatitis C genotype 2b which is a blood-borne viral infection which can kill me at the furthest extreme.
You cannot catch it from me by casual Internet chatroom contact or
or 
or 
.
The treatment is Interferon which has as one of its most serious side effects depression. The treatment lasts for 48-52 weeks and it ain't pleasant. The alternative is even less pleasant. Dying slowly and painfully of cirrhosis of the liver is not on the A-list of preferred ways to die.
I have had a liver biopsy and will learn the results on the 26th. That ostensibly is the day that I will start pre-treatment with antidepressants. Since I am not given to depression I doubt that it will be that effective but when you turn yourself over to the hands of another to use their expertise to save your life you do what they say to do.
So I will pop in on occasion and I will post selectively but I am not going to let the board drive me as it was previously. I don't need to incite this thing by being in a constant state of agitation after we poke it in the eye with a stick. Viruses have a survival instinct also.
So don't be surprised if you see some posts by me. I still will not post outside of TRW though.
