The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

Now I remember why I don't visit very often!
Thanks EP.

Thanks EP.

There are lots of other threads, and I'll be surprised if this manages to continue for much longer.

Well that was some depressing shit to sift through. Ugh. I'm with Shell. Don't like each other? Save it for someone you like better. Simple.

We could sure use a generous dose of your light hearted wit to change this down mood.

Exactly what Shell B said!

Furthermore:

I'd like to apologize to everyone for all those times when I can't resist responding and for being so easily provoke-able I am sorry that I do my bit to make the atmosphere worse. I really don't mean to do it. I'm not good at not reacting.

You're welcome.

My advice to everyone is to stop interacting with him. He's only here to fuck with people. Everything else is an act. I literally don't think he's capable of having any other reason. He feeds off the emotions he provokes in people. I see him for what he is, and so he doesn't get to me anymore. And my life has been a hell of a lot better since putting him on ignore.

He's the worst member to be allowed to stay on this forum since I've been here. The damage he does to the forum is not worth his continued presence, IMO. I don't blame him, or judge him. He can't help what he is. But he'll keep polluting this forum until he stops getting a rise out of people. If it was up to me I'd have banned him a long time ago.

Well this is the depature thread after all so.

I'm sorry but final is final.

I finally have to go.

And get some sleep.

Goodnight all. See you tomorrow.

.. has been a hell of a lot better since putting him on ignore.

Couldn't agree more.  Ignore works great and is a viable alternative to having a forum in which heavy handed censorship is unavoidable.  But I agree with the rest of what you say as well.

Pro tip: when engaging the ignore function, success is more likely if you skim past posts from people you're otherwise happy to read so long as they've quoted the one you'd rather have out of your experience.  Works better that way.  Good luck.

Wow... with the sudden activity spike in this thread I came to check what's with the massive departures, and then there's this pile of dump. I'd like to request a mod or admin to split this thread and move this depressing stink pile in the garbage dump.

Happily, I'm able to scroll past most folks who irk me. There are indeed times when I get sucked I, but those are much rarer now that I'm sober and no longer a puppet to my own emotions.
