I really hate to say it, but as of today, I'm leaving the Millionaire Fans board, as I cannot forgive myself for what I did. Regisfan, I sincerely hope you will accept my apologies, and that the forum does well when I'm gone. Please, forgive me for the mess I caused.

You don't need to leave because of those mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes in life and while you should be ashamed with yourself, you don't need to leave the boards altogether.

FrankT, I urge you to STRONGLY rethink your decision. You're being extremely brash and harsh on yourself for a mistake. So what, you jumped the gun on a member who with all due respect had no place being here in the first place. You made a mistake and it's not to late to redeem yourself. Do me a favor and put this retiring nonsense away and come back. Please.

This is just a board, this is just internet after all.
Why are you guys taking this so seriously? I mean, not what our Admin did, but that "Self-Punishing" thing. Frank, you apologized for that, you already have been sanctioned. End of story. You don't need to redeem yourself by "retiring" like that. Just control yourself and your sayings, don't over-react as you did any more, and restart. If you can do that, then all is going to be fine.
I think everybody agrees that you deserve... a Double Dip. (Hehe, Millionaire reference on a Millionaire board. Brilliant!)

Alright, I admit it - I was being an idiot. I will come back, but only in a month, because I've made a request to have my account disabled for that time. After what I did, I deserve that and all.

@frank: I've learned alot over the years dealing with people who wants to ruin the fun in the forums for all. They are just causing division on the site to make people give them attention for their stupid spamming. Thus they have no life and they think that's one way to get the attention that they don't get in their own life in real life. Sad but true...thus they are known as spamming trolls. As from that, we don't need to feed into the flame they are causing. Yes, I made mistakes in dealing with situations that could of been handled better. I did take a break from the site and then returned later after I reviewed the situation and redeem myself by getting the respect of my team members and community members. So let this be a lesson learned, move from it and grow from this experience. I know you deserve a double dip and you'll be refreshed and ready to tackle the Millionaire Forums again even better than before. This is an encouragement for you and others who want to learn and earn the respect of others and take trolling like a grain of salt. Even if it causes harm, they will not succeed for doing this. If all fails, block their ip address so they won't come to the site anymore. That's my "Ask The Expert" advice I can give to you within 30 seconds or less. Please reconsider Frank to come back but take your break for now. We'll be happy to see you again to return to the "Hot Table" again.

Randydorney, you said that very well! FrankT, you have contributed more than the top two posters (Regisfan and I) combined. Just because you make a mistake, doesn't mean you have to start over. Mistakes are something to be learned from, not tortured from. I hope that not only you, but all of us learn from this. We have such a stable base of board members, and we are all working very well with each other. Please just think about this. One month will pass and most, if not all of us will have forgotten about this. You will, as Randydorney said, "You'll be refreshed and ready to tackle the Millionaire Forums again better than before!" So please take the time to think about this, and I will see you in one month! Feed goes away and Ask the Expert cue ends.

FrankT, I respect your decision to take a break from the forum and reflect on what has happened. Please don't beat yourself up over recent events. You've proven that you can handle yourself in a very mature way, and that you've grown and learned from your mistakes. I can't wait until your triumphant return to the boards.
Think of this as a really long commercial break. Sure, you have to wait for a while, but you're not ready to walk away, and you'll be back to play for a million dollars in no time at all.

Off topic, but I love all of our references to the show!

I just thought I would add this, but I am crying with happiness as I read this! It's good to see that we are not just fans, but a 'family' of fans sticking together!

I can see why you're taking a break...a much needed break. Think of it as a so-called "cooling off" period.
I've not been on here in quite sometime--as you can imagine, I've been busy and all with work.
After reading Regisfan's post on the "Zero Tolerance Policy" he's got in place, I am 110% with him.
I don't care if it's real reality or virtual reality--Disrespect has NO place in the right to free speech. We can agree, we can disagree, but however we speak our minds, we must do it RIGHT, or risk facing the consequences.
