Okay bye.
To be fair to you though, your reason for leaving in your situation makes sense and typically people in your age group would not tolerate this type of bullshit for nearly as long as you have, and I have some respect for that.
Hello Boys and Girls,
When I said I had to reevaluate both my place within this forum and my reasons for coming here to begin with as opposed to my reason for coming here now, I had a feeling my time on this forum was about up. There have been some good discussions I have read and been involved with that bring an attraction to some of you, your insight in many cases is far more mature and practical from what I get in the normal day to day operations of my life. But it has become clear for the most part I am dealing with a bunch of kids… no offense and if the shoe doesn’t fit, you know who you are. Even still, I think much about some of you (kid or not) and hope you nothing but the best. Your lives are unimaginable so imagine what you will and go make it happen. Perhaps less time spent here for some of you and more time pushing the energy into creative, productive, and successful avenues… but hey, it’s your life.
So, I may swing back from time to time just say “Helloâ€â€¦ but the fun and games just are not that fun anymore. Ooops. If any of you care (not that I imagine many if any do) my email address… the real deal and no bullshit is [email protected]. I check it about once or twice a week and there are a few of you I hope do keep in touch.
Peace Out,
Virus
I'm gonna totally steal your thunder Virus and say goodbye on this thread too, seeing as your post sums up exactly how I feel about the place more concisely than I probably could in my own words (except for the email - [email protected], checked about once a week or every two weeks).
I'll try not to get emotional about it, but this place has actually meant more to me than any of you could guess, what with my being only an occasional poster and all. There are many interesting, intelligent and downright fabulous people here (even you, Jim). But thing is, for fear of ending up like Judy, I have a personal policy of prioritising anything going on irl over online stuff, and I'm lucky enough to know many interesting, intelligent and fabulous people irl, which doesn't leave much of room for this place anymore.
I found this place under unpromising circumstances, but it's actually given me cause to think about a lot of things. And for someone who'd never really been into that psychology shite, i've learnt some stuff about myself. One thing i'm trying to work on is my tendency to be misanthropic and anti-social, and I'm finding it harder to justify why I'm spending an evening chatting with interesting people online when there are interesting people going to the pub this evening and i'm welcome to join them, which is where leaving this place comes in.
I'll leave the door open for popping back to say hello now and again (although most likely on a different account, as i've given away or changed the passwords to every account I have here).
Take care all :)
