The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

Right now I’m in a dark place and my joking around is just a facade.

Best way to deal with it is to spend some time with myself and getting my head back to where it should be.

As a result I’m going to be offline for a while on all social media forums (the only two I use, anyway).

Apologies to all for the suddenness of this.  I feel one communication to all is better than multiples to everyone.

See you all soon or I’ll see you on the dark side.

Be well and get better, luv. We'll put a candle in the window for your return.

Aw, sending positive vibes your way, Beccs. Take as long as you need. We'll be here and waiting when you return.

Hope you get to a better place soon and that the break helps you get there.  Just be well.

Aw, Val I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon, and adapt to the darkness. There’s a flashlight in my inbox if you need it.

Will you also sacrifice a goat for the occasion?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I rarely post in this topic, but do you think you might die soon?
Can I join the group hug? + a salute that doesn't suggest "good byes", but "until you return"
Stay safe.

I keep trying, and I honestly cannot tell if it's me or not. I try and get involved in conversations, just sharing my views or ideas or trying to be helpful, and most replies feel like attacks.

So I back off and try again a day or two later. I try, not always successfully, to participate in a level headed way, but almost instantly I'm provoked again.

I don't come here to feel unwelcome or attacked or trolled or to feel stupid or worse about myself or humanity in general. I can get that IRL. I come to share with what I feel are, for the most part, reasonable and like minded individuals. By which I mean skeptics.

I just feel that the reasonable conversation are offended drowned out by a small number of asshats. Yes, I can and do put them on ignore, but then someone quotes their quote to me and I read it and I want to leave.

Some of you may be aware I'm having something of a personal crisis. I thought it would be best not to withdraw from the world, though that is my instinct when wounded. So I try and try again, but I just don't know that I have it in me anymore. Not right now at any rate.

I'll try and come back when I feel like I can handle humanity again.

It IS you. I hope you feel better soon, because the forums are way better with you than without you.
