Re: Ascius has left the building...
God damn, not another one! Not you, Ascius!
Dammit! I knew that your mother was an internet Nazi when it came to stuff like this from previous posts you've made, but I never thought she'd ban you outright...it's awful. Awful. I can't imagine why she is so wary of the internet. Yes, there are perverts impersonating children online, but the majority of people are not. Has your mom ever sent an e-mail to anyone she didn't know personally? Even if it was a big company, whos to say that they aren't a child molestor behind that "official" name of theirs? Honestly, people are much, much too wary when it comes to things like this. It's like banning someone from using a telephone.
Wait...that gives me an idea that may get you back...if it isn't a permanent, out-of the-question ban. Make her a bet. Go on. Make her a bet. Since she (or you) may argue that the internet is like the telephone was in her generation, you could tell her to abandon using the telephone. See how she reacts to that. Then tell her that it's the same with you.
As for the breakup, I can't say anything. I never have broken up, but I have an idea of how bad you're feeling, though it's probably nowhere near as close as it should be. At least she didn't call you a creep and slap you, eh? She didn't just dump you and leave you sitting on your ass looking like a fool. She did it nicely, and she still wants to be friends, which, at least, is something. You should know that it's just as hard for her to break up as it is for you.
I'm praying that your mother will consider letting you back on, even in moderation. I am hoping to God (even though I am not religious in any way) that you are allowed to return in some way. She has to. Nobody can be that cruel to somebody. Like I said, try the phone thing. Perhaps she'll reconsider with that in mind.
If, however, you don't come back, then I want you to know that yours has been one of the best online friendships I've had. Though you may not know it, you've affected me in ways you cannot imagine. You've brought out my sense of humour and affected my personality. I can safely say that I am changed for the better because of you. If you must leave, I want you to leave knowing that you have made a positive impact on my life, as well as the lives of nearly everyone here, not something everyone can do. I commend you for it.
Please, please return.
