Bye
Friday, April 25, 2003 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I left a month ago to cool off. I come back. Now I've made up my mind. I'm leaving for good. I can't function in this site anymore. I feel too goddamned betrayed to keep going.
Find me anywhere but here.
Find me anywhere but here.

I did't think you were. I've learned to have a cool attitude on this site.

People can be 'demoted' and/or 'promoted'.
It's a cause and effect thing......dependent on behaviour and overall conduct/benefit to the site...

Elfkura: It would have been wise to speak with the people you wanted to speak with in the first place. A melodramtic "Bye" thread could have been avoided. You are a prominent face on this site. And a statement by you that something is wrong with this site may have (a negative or positive) impact, because you are a respected member of this site. You know that...
I try to avoid being involved in discussions like these, because I am related to SD. Consider it to be my view and not that of SD.

sorry, apologies. I won't spoile the movies for you, hehe.
MadIce,
I don't run with stupid things unless I'm somehow certain, via gut instinct (don't you dare laugh), that some things are wrong... I still believe there was a bit too much childish acts on both sides.
It has come to that a few times, me leaving quietly for a while to think things through. I got tired of thinking and coming back and finding new stuff exploding all over the place...
I feel responsible for this place. When it gets out of hand, it gets on my nerves. When that happens, I am the worst bitch to be around. And as for the respected part, I believe you are right, I am respected. Not as much as most think.
I am easily forgotten... but easily reminded of again

But, I am saying "bye"...
I need to. I -have- to cool my head down. I don't think there's enough patience in this world right about now to cope with me. So, it is "bye" until further notice.
Exams are over May 8th... I may return after that for a bit of entertainment. Until then, you guys better keep things straight around here, including the admins, you hear me?
I need a nap... lunch is in like..3 hours

It seems to me that the moderators have gone the extra mile. Maybe everything isn't as visible as you assume it is. Maybe you have not been around to see the entire drama. I know for sure that there is a lot going on in email and messenger that everyone is not aware of. You are not the only one communicating with other people that way.
Posts on a message board are not cast in stone. In an ongoing conversation it is common to post something and then delete it once it is known the person has seen it. Other deletions I have seen and understood the reason for. Bottom line is that all message boards are tended and shaped by the people that use them, including and especially the moderators. They cannot possibly bow to the whims and the wishes of every single person that has aspirations to have things their way. Message boards are democratic places.... you come, you function or not, you leave one way or another, maybe you come back. It is all a person's choice. The moderators are here on a daily basis. They know and understand things through consistent day to day contact, often through extra board communications that you can not know of, and through inter-moderator communications.
I understand what you are saying about soft and hard shelled people. But you have to know that sometimes your perceptions of people are drawn from a mighty shallow well. If you are not around to gather an adequate number of samplings you are likely to get a wrong impression. Likewise, if you are not giving a plentiful or deep sampling of yourself then you had best be judicious with the one that you do leave. Else the impression people have could be something different than what you see yourself to be.
Human communication is a complicated and fluid thing. It functions best when it is spontaneous and unrestrained. It is futile to try to apply the constraints and control that you sometimes speak of. Unrestrained, however, does not mean uncontrolled. One has to learn how to function on a message board, and sometimes the way of learning may seem harsh and painful. Getting exiled can be a lesson. It does not have to be a permanent thing. Sometimes people just need a time out. Sometimes that is the way people learn.
Ok, now I am beginning to blither.Good night all.

GM, your post was right on.
People do not see what happens "behind closed doors" or what the admins discuss before action is taken against a member of the site.
People don't get exiled without being communicated with first.
