Pardon me for this brief blog interruption, but it must be said...
Once upon a time, I was a regular on a message forum. I spent a ton of time there, but anyone who knows me, knows that I am not good at being fake or pretending. Eventually, all the drama and message board crap just got to me and so I left.
Yes, that's the condensed version, but I left only to find out that apparently I wasn't allowed to leave without getting permission from many people. Whatever. I left. Not only that, but I haven't looked back.
I stayed away from message boards--aside from my own--after that for a long time because of the problems I'd had. A while back though, I got sucked in on another site. I thought it was for good reasons and even though I had kind of iffy feelings about a few, I thought it was a good "cause" so to speak.
Finally, a lot of things happened and once again, I left.
Funny thing is, I'm apparently not allowed to go away and be left out of their future drama either.
WTF is up with that? Is this some kind of unwritten message board rule that I don't know about? You can check out, but you can never leave? If you leave, we will follow you. Stalk you. Harass you. Bring you up on other message boards?
Geeze. Just leave me alone already. I talk to the people I want to talk to and I'll keep right on doing that.
Get over it.
