My little ball of rage
So I got myself banned from my favorite car messageboard over something absurdly stupid and it's one huge misunderstanding. It's totally silly and yes, I was really upset when it first happened. I mean, this board is where I spend 8+ hours a day on while taking time out to do a little real work. It's where I get great ideas, talk to new friends I've just met and old friends I've known for several years. It's inspiring, funny, relevant to my career as well as my future and well, it's part of my life. Sad but true.
And yes, my buddy jeremy will say "It's just a messageboard." and yes, he's right but then again, there is part of that that goes a little deeper. It really is part of my life, face it. And well, I'm not going without a fight.
So, after a week of waiting for a reply that I sent to one of the mods on the board (who has yet to reply to this day because he's a spineless coward) I had the idea of telling a few friends to email the head moderator for my re-admission back on the board. This sort of escalated to a few hundred people following suit.
As kate hasn't been banned (yet haha), she has been the lead honcho who is now posting in our buildup thread we created for our new project car http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3041144 . It gets juicy towards page 12.
Anyhoo, now the lil missus is going back and forth with the head moderator of the board and it's just striking me funny for some reason. Here, there is a girl who was never really into car's that much albeit from her father's Porsche/VW passion in his youth and now here she is, fighting some faceless guy on an internet automotive messageboard just to get me backon it so we can keep our thread going.
I know this post is absolutely mind-nummingly boring to probably 99% of the readers out there but hey, that's what's making news in my life lately.
I don't know if I should be happy about that or not *smiles*

The fact that Kate is keeping your thread updated, putting up a fight, and gathering a small army, says worlds about that girl. After all, it is just a message board. She knows how much it means to you and huge props to her for taking on the battle.
Not many, if any girls would be doing what she's doing.
