I said so at the time. I say so every time someone brings it up. But I have never ran from it. It would have been easy to start over with a different handle. Several people in the community, including one forum owner I was on at the time suggested that. I thought that was cowardly. I have and continue to own that mistake.
And I would never come back here or anywhere as someone else. I created a couple socks at WoV shortly after I was banned because I wanted to respond to things being said. I used handles like kewlj2 and kewlj3. Not exactly hiding. I did create a second account at a blackjack forum under the name Spiderman, but that was because I had some specific information about casino cheating that I wanted to share and warn others about. And as soon as someone suggested it was me, I acknowledged it. So don't give me shit about returning under a different name. I have never done that and never will. I am proud of my contribution overall to the AP/gambling community (not necessarily all of my behavior, but overall). I post under kewlj or on one forum a shortened version of KJ and that is all I will ever post under.
