Fueling up and making plans to take off soon...

Now I realize this site has a life of it's own, and I do understand the need to be yourselves and much of the site directly reflects the title of the site "Define Cynical", but over the past (I lost count) times I've been back, certain things just don't make me feel comfortable and others are just a waste of time. (WHAT those are isn't important, because after all, it's who you guys are... I guess...)
I have decided I'm more than likely done with this forum, but since there ARE a few reasons to remain, I shall stay a little longer. However I am still prepared to remove this URL from my favorites and not come back as often as I have been. (This also slightly explains the lack of my posting...)
Sad, too, for some of you (seem?) to have things under control, while others are 'entertaining' with their 'masks', totally covering up who they really are. Still others actually seem to be true to form, no mask needed. (Names for these categories are withheld, because let's face it, I could be totally wrong!)
Without including those who actually "have their *stuff* together", some of you seem immature. Fun is fun and I enjoy a good laugh (chuckle, guffaw, etc) with the rest of them, but let's be serious for a moment: EVERY DAMN MEMBER NAME HAS A REAL-LIVE PERSON ATTACHED TO IT! Some of you are careful enough to remember this, while others insist on ignoring this simple fact. Sure, yeah, it's your choice and this IS a good website to have this kind of fun in, but for some odd reason I don't sense any TRUE concern for other members posting here. Consider this not only my concern, but a slight defense for those unable to speak up.

It's way too easy to forget about the real person attached to the screen name on the internet, and I have noticed myself doing it occasionally. I probably don't even notice half the time I do it, too. Your reasons are understood. So... bye!

I always thought this forum was supposed to be fun. That's why I come here anyway. If I want to be serious, I go elsewhere.

I didn't start this thread to have a conversation with everyone so they could justify themselves as "ok". I made my comment, nothing more.
Fun is always possible w/o hurting any one or bringing anyone down.

Actually in recent times I haven't noticed any significant problems with feelings being hurt. In the past, sure, but not so much now. Unless you're referring to our rather incessant DCS bashing, in which case she doesn't even read these boards anymore and dismissed us as 'venomous' or something a long time ago.

I agree, DC has been quite chill for a while now in my opinion.

I hope that you aren't taking the negative comments on people's birthday threads into account for this. All of those posts were just by me and my alt accounts, so there were no hard feelings

Every post on DC was made by you and your alts.

But people can still post their opinions. This is what happens on an internet forum, in the simplest terms.

I just noticed that this is the the "Site" forum and I laughed.

I placed it in The Site because it was involving The Site directly.
W/E, it's your forums.

Sorry to see you go :sad: . I unfortunately find myself acting a little like my ideal self on the internet rather than my real self. But its kinda like the difference between how you act with strangers and the way you act with close friends. I for one am typically polite to strangers and a little more "immature" with my friends. Not sure what else to say, bye.

Never said I was actually leaving, but DID state I was making plans. Those have changed, although I'll not be as 'active' as I have tried to be int he past.
Points made have been taken into consideration, so:
Who ta hell am *I* to tell *you* what's proper on *your* forum?
Although I haven't (fully) been accepted here (my many uses of emoticons, maybe my personality, or maybe because I can't draw, who knows?), it IS something for me to do in my wonderful world of a BS life I have.
So I'm sorry, I apologize.
(How's that for a cynical post?)
