(ORIGNALLY POSTED ON ELLUSIONIST.)
Members and Staff,
I have a confession that some of you may find funny and others may find bad or ignorant.
If anyone remebers, there used to be someone on this forum called "davidblainefan". He was constantly being bashed for having misinformation from time to time and also acting like a wannabe moderator. Eventually he became cocky and posted a couple of very, VERY racially insensitive as well as rude reviews and posts. The cause of this was unknown.
I have known the answers as to why he did it for a while and have only just know decided to come out with what I know. So here it is...
**************************************** *****************
Davidblainefan, joined the forums with the attitude that he was the coolest thing around. He wanted to become a moderator desperately and never would stop reporting posts and telling people what they were doing wrong here. People were sick of it and began to tell him off and dislike him. Realizing this he began to get frustrated and make rude posts.
One day he decided that he would make a very rude post regarding "How to do Street Magic" and a very racially insensitive review of "The Axis Change." He thought it was funny and thought nothing of it until he turned his computer the next day... He was Banned for good with no chance of coming back.
Quickly he emailed a administrator here and played it off as if he had done nothinbg wrong. He also told them that it was his older brother that must have hacked his account just to mess with him. Regardless he did not get the account back.
He suddenly had an idea... He cleared his internet history, cleared all the old internet quickviek files, and cleared the internet cookies. Then he made a new account called "Dylan P." He was in again. But not even for more than an hour before he was found out and deleted again.
He gave it 2 das then made 2 new accounts. The first, I forget the name, was deleted very quickly, however the second account was never used and sat untouched for 3 months. After that 3 month period he tried to log in under the untouched account. It worked and he has been using it for months without getting caught. Today I will reveal that accounts name for all to see. That account that was untouched was...

That's right... I am davidblainefan, I am Dylan P., I am the one who's name I forget, and now I am magicfreak753. and I am sorry for the bad things I have done in the past.
But during that 3 month period where this account lay dormant I learned something. I began wandering, looking for other sites where I could discuss magic... I found T11.
There I got a better understanding of why exposure was bad, why what I did was wrong, and how to improve my magic. I felt like a new magician who was ready for another chance. I came back here. I began to share knowledge with people. And for once I was positve. And I am sure that if you look at my posts you will find that I am a much better person now and that I am helpful and stay positive. Thank you...

Well, give me whatever punishment you see fit. But, I just couldn't live this lie anymore. I had to let everyone know. And you know what? I have actually taught everyone something today... No matter how bad you are at first, you can always change.
I did.

Do that, and you'll be fine.
