You ask for forgiveness...

"If you, O LORD , kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared."
To Volt/Bouncer/Aquaboy and a slew of other aliases:
First off, you've broken rules multiple times here...that's what got you banned in the past, and I should keep banning you now for having multiple identities. However, after sincerely praying about this, I cannot shake the message God is giving me: forgive, because it's the Christian attitude to take. So here's the deal: you may come back clean and start again HOWEVER--this is your last chance. One dirty lyric, one offensive post...anything that would make me regret this decision, and you are gone for good. No more second chances, no more fresh starts, nothing. The mods and I are going to monitor you heavily as it is. Please don't make an idiot out of me for doing this; I am trusting you to keep your word and return to the flock without issue.
This is not to say that anyone who breaks the rules we have put in place may just ask for forgiveness and come back without reprimand; not so. That would completely invalidate the rules themselves. But in this case and this case alone, I am willing to levy the punishment and give you one more shot at being a healthy, productive member of this community. I cannot guarantee I will ever take this course of action again; it is only what God is leading me to do at the moment. Worse comes to worse, you are offending God himself, not me, because I assure you it is He that is giving you the second chance here, not my flesh.
