I'm sure some of you reading this doing a search for "Victor Koopa" because you knew me on Tapestries are wondering where I went, and why. Maybe you heard something about me being banned or punished or some such, and you'd like to re-establish contact with me. Maybe you're just one of those folks that want to tell me what a horrible, evil person I am. No matter. In this depressingly long-winded missive, I plan on giving some history, how things went down from my perspective, why everyone else is wrong, and why Tapestries is a flaming wreck. I guarantee posting this is going to enrage the staff over there; so be it. Serious business follows, with an obvious bias for me. There's always the comments box if you're none too happy with the content (or maybe if you are). As a special bonus: I won't Godwin this thing.
