Dear John

Dear John;

You have been kicked off of Zadankai.

Sorry.

Thing is you see Zadankai is for SGI members only. Obviously you were left on for many years after you announced your resignation from SGI because you had been a member and were still contributing. However this last year your only contributions have been negative, and counter-production in any stretch of my imagination.

Truthfully if you had continued to contribute in a constructively critical fashion that would have been one thing - however your knowledge, understanding and opinions of SGI have become outdated, and instead of writing your own posts you basically have just sarcastically supported other negative posts from SGI members.

I'm not mad at you, it was just time for you to go. With you on Zandakai I felt it was not really practical to invite new and hopefully contributing SGI members on. Hope you understand.

We can still be friends though, right?

Greg

Yep, that's the real Dilley!

Well, it's still possible that you've been taken over by Pod People. I imagine a ninja assassin would be a prime target for assimilation. Prove you are you.

Cheers!

Sorry I didn't come to you up front. I just didn't seek confrontation with you at that time. Thanks for understanding. As far as me being assassinated, highly unlikely as I am a ninja afterall. In fact, the Japanese word for assassin is Ansatsu which came up in training when I was being taught assassination techniques specific to the Satsuma clan's Jigen Ryu.

So there you have it.

Greg,

No problem. Your explanation makes perfect sense, in a GC protectionist sort of way. It was not knowing what happened that was so annoying (not to mention a bit rude, on your part). Was I kicked off, or had Zadankai ceased to exist? Had Greg Dilley been assassinated or taken over by Pod People? You know, the obvious questions.

Anyway, thanks for letting me know, and of course we can still be friends. Can I still speak truth about the SGI here on your blog?

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

John
