Promises, promises, promises. You’ll go away for a few days, then one of your sympathizers will get you to come back in a teary return. Whatever.
Were that true, I would consider myself to have eradicated some ignorance and thus have fulfilled the purpose of this board. You started a thread in the pit and because you did not get the outpouring of love and validation that you wanted you are now trying to take your ball and leave. I doubt seriously that I am the last straw, just the first bracing slap of reality.
PS: Got your personal e-mail slam. I’m not impressed. Since I’m gay, I don’t desire my mother or have sex with her. Have a very nice day and don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
Techie, this is precisely what I mean. Hastur has an opinion, and expresses it. Sure, his choice of words is, well, colourful to say the least. But this is the Pit - he didn’t cross the line, IMHO.
Just accept the fact that people, at this stage, will dislike you no matter what - because of all that happened in the past and up untill now. That’s NOT gonna change.
If you really ARE leaving now, I would advise you to stick to it this time. Every time you leave and come back again, you’re losing credibility. And you’re gaining some enemies that will most likely flame you HARD on your next Pit Endeavour. That’s how it always goes, Liz.
Mind you, I don’t want you to leave, per se. I want you to shape up, get your life together, and become a more satisfied human being - and hence, poster. I’m pretty sure that’s what you want as well.
The problem is: the SDMB isn’t going to do that for you.
You need to look at yourself, and perhaps with some outside (professional) help, you’ll be fine. You’re not a bad person. You’re merely a disappointed person right now.
And for Gods sake, if I may be so bold: don’t drink so much. You’re destroying yourself.
