The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

[GUBU]

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.

Just put AM, Drippy and Wooters on ignore and you'll remove 90% of the shit from the fora.

As regards real life, I hope that gets better for you soon. Make sure you get whatever help you need, we're better with you than without.
