"I'm leaving" threads are horseshit

[POS Industries]

Just go.

That way you get the best of both worlds of finally freeing yourself of the mutually assured death spiral that is talking to any of us on a remotely regular basis AND you don't have to make the people you supposedly like feel like shit. It's win-win!

That's the great thing about the internet is you can just pretty much dip whenever you want and nobody's really going to notice. I think the past two days are the most I've posted in a year. Did any of you notice? Of fucking course you didn't.

In all likelihood, we've all known each other long enough to where anyone that we want to talk to is easily reachable via means outside of the forums, so an announcement that you're just not going to be posting on or reading on a social medium that, let's be real here, as been outmoded for several years now probably isn't going to make much of an impact on your ability to socialize with the friends you've already made here.

Whether you intend it or not, a big announcement thread on your departure pretty much boils down to fishing for well-wishes at best and a giant fuck you to everybody at worst. Why not just do the most painless thing and exit quietly and save yourself and everyone else the trouble? It's what the vast majority of people we don't see around here anymore have done, and I, quite frankly, salute them for it.

So just go. I wish you the best.

The next time I see an "I'm leaving" thread, I'm going to post the entire Declaration of Independence in it.

Fuck you. Quit it.

Just go.

POS... I'm leaving you.

I can no longer stand it. You're a SOCal boy and I'm a New Your girl. We'll never see eye to eye.

There are other documents with similar context if you wanted to branch out away from America a bit.
Just saying.

Aw, just do a huge big mega thread for people's comings and goings. That way we can ignore it and its departure drama, whenever we choose :)

This is going to sound condescending, because it is.

You guys need to grow the fuck up. You should also come to grips with your own personal failings and put some effort into validating your own existences. The people who stick around here are the proverbial bottom of the barrel. You don't have healthy lives. You're missing out on humongous portions of a healthy human experience for whatever reasons, and you've pruned this little garden of self loathing of all the normal, healthy people.

It's been an ongoing process for several years now. I was one of the earlier casualties myself. That always sort of stuck in my craw, but I innately understood the reasoning behind it. You guys were always playing a game, a game of violence and subterfuge. Honestly I didn't feel too bad being kicked out of it, because I am one of those relatively normal, healthy people.

I did feel sort of bad for you guys though, it seems like the only things you people ever talk about are your most recent failures, and how those failures feed back into your previous failures, and about your half-assed little dreams of maybe, someday sort of not failing at something so ridiculously simplistic as being alive.

There's a reason you are disgusted with yourselves, because you've never really done anything that isn't worthy of disgust. Holding your continual failures up to anything that isn't entirely defined within the context of loss, regret and self-debasement is probably incredibly painful, so you'd rather throw those wayward pariahs into the trash heap than come to any particularly painful realizations.

Your displeasure with this community, with the world at large and with any individual is most likely a byproduct of your personality and pathos. It is highly unlikely that you are so universally dissatisfied with your reality simply because it is insufficiently satisfying.

We all take some shit in our lives, none of us were dealt two aces with two more on the flop. You're supposed to learn to deal with the shit, to create a lifestyle that distances you from the shit as best you can. That's the way this first-world living thing works. If you've got people in your life that keep dragging you back into the shit, you're supposed to kick them in the face to get them off your leg. This is the reality of the world you live in, and if you don't want to accept it then you'll just end up here, metaphorically at least; circling the intellectual drain of a thousand grief-maddened voices screaming at each other in the hopes that one of those aspersions echoes back with sufficient force to convince yourself that you don't need to be here.

This community was an interesting place with a lot of hopeful young people on it, at one point. We came here for silly reasons, and stuck around for other reasons as varied as the people who espoused them. Some of us made some life long friends along the way, but those of us who decided to be alive and live lives worth living were kicked out, abused and ushered away from this place by those who couldn't or wouldn't get their fucking shit together. Sticking yourselves in this purgatory of nonsense might seem like fitting punishment to you masochistic fucks, but looking at it from the outside its incredibly sad.

I just want you assholes to get your shit together. I really do care about you guys, and your lives and circumstances. Considering I'm being such a dick about it I'm sure you'll start the hate train up at full speed run it right over my stupid face, but I'm just trying to give a little perspective here. This place isn't falling apart, it fell apart a long time ago, and honestly it doesn't really matter at all. What does matter is where you woeful survivors go after this. I hope you go up, in a sense. Go forward, move on with your lives. Get shit done, dream a little bigger and love a little more.

By the way, this isn't an "I'm leaving" post, because you guys already kicked me out years ago and I'm not even supposed to be here. So I'm not going anywhere.

Why on earth are you posting all this? It's a waste of time. Also, stop insulting my friends. Are you mad cause I still use this forum or what?

Tell us the one again about how people on an internet forum, not you, are the ones really responsible for how much of an asshole you are in real life because you had to read their posts.

That one was a goddamn hoot.

This is the best thread I've ever made.

This is now the second (and third!) time that you've been permanently banned for being a piece of human garbage.

Funka, you've always been a piece of shit. You were a well-behaved piece of shit for a while, (probably thanks to poch) but you were still a piece of shit.

I am dumber for having known you.
