The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

Oh man, but you were wise enough to know drama was going to ensue.   Was not worth the drama in my opinion. 

It's not going to change anything on these forums, there is no fixing this warzone.  It's been nuked and we are all mutating from each other's stench.

The lesson learned is just like a class room, Teachers don't allow people to say whatever the hell they want to each other. The same should've been true about these forums. This little safe spot, won't achieve anything.

It's feeling like a fuckin social experiment this place.

Thanks Tibs. I was a little taken back by some of the reactions, especially from your wife. I even went back through the initial conversation we had to see if we had given any hint or inclination that we where being demanding. I was starting to wonder if you where recounting it this way, or if it was just her second hand interpretation.

I’m sorry, to cause you this grief.

OK, I got it wrong. It's been known to happen.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Rules, people put them and humans in general need rules. This wild west free for all, eventually, everyone is going to get sick of it. People hate being treated bad but even treating others bad.


And then people do what rules allow them, and then get condemned by their peers. Then drama and more drama.


I get it now, this place is a drama generating experimental farm.

That’s big of you. I get the sentiment, but it’s an idea he’s had for some time. He just implemented it maybe with the wrong set in mind.

I remember when I thought SummerQueen was a mean badass. O man, those days are over. We've all become the worst we saw in others.

Why? He knows I don’t support everything he does. I’ve been vocally opposed to even the illusion of a safe space or stifling freedom of speech, even if it’s insulting. There’s no surprise here, dude.

If it was just simple objections to the idea, then we probably wouldn’t have had any issues. I’m glad that Tibs doesn’t feel that we manipulated him. I appreciate him and what he tried to do.
