Yeah, we’re speaking different languages here if you think saying “kinda give up” means the same thing as saying “This place sucks and I’m leaving!” Not only is “giving up” not necessarily the same thing as leaving, but they put “kinda” in front of it, which means “almost, but not really.”
And, sure, GreysonCarlisle didn’t get exactly what he wanted, but it’s clear his post was a protest of moderation that quite a few people thought was beyond the pale. Of course he’d come back if that were resolved.
Heck, JAQ combined both of those. They said they “think” they “probably” won’t post here anymore, and said it was because how shitty the forum was. And it was shitty back on June 22. They’ve improved it significantly now, so why wouldn’t JAQ give it another chance?
We’ve had some actual flouncing threads. I’d link at least one if Google’s index wasn’t messed up since we moved. I hope someone else who remembers more can link some, so you can see what I mean.
In every one of those flouncing threads, you seem everyone being mocked. So it’s not that the SDMB is okay with flouncing. It’s just that we don’t generally count this weak shit as flouncing.
