Have I missed something? Who is leaving again?

althom said:

Tackam and now Stymie...

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Oh...I knew about Tackam.

althom said:

Who cares? Nobody ever really leaves!

while you might be right, this is the kind of knee-jerk answer that i wished we could get away from. it's hurtful to those who are leaving, and it serves no constructive purpose.

Sweeny79 said:

people always say that, but they do.

moonbeam is a perfect example

Dickheads? No. Fuckwads? Yes. I may not be the most positive person on P.org but I try to respect others and what they have to say. A while back, I began to feel that the more I knew about Prince, the less I liked him as a person and businessman(tee fucking hee), so as someone put it, it was time to move on or 'get a life' because my dislike for the stunts he pulls interferes with the way I feel about the music. So, that left the other forums in the Org. I logged on to this place to have fun, to escape from the harsh realities of the world, but real life shows its true colors here a lot. Homophobia, racism, discrimination of those unlike yourself, folks creating alternate accounts to gang up on others, etc. Folks may say 'drama queen' but oh well. I have a 13 year-old autistic son at home, so trust me, some folks don't know what true drama is.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. I honestly didn't. I'm just sick of the attention getting bullshit. You'll be sure when my time comes I'll quietly slip out the back door without making a spectacle of myself. If you connect with people here orgnote/email/call and tell them you are leaving. Why start a thread? Why post on a thread that someone starts about you leaving? In my opinion, if your going, good go, don't let the door hit you to hard on the ass on your way out.

He might be back and if he does not come back, good for him. In my eyes he was/is to good for this place. I hope he finds something fulfilling to spend his time on. Same goes for Byron, yeah some people do really leave, but most do not.

Sweeny79 said:

I purposely didn't mention names because I didn't want to make a spectacle so to speak. I respect peoples decisions on what they do or do not want to experience on this site. My main point is that how are things going to change for the better if the better people leave?

IAmTheTouch said:

sorta like calling somebody else's honest opinion a "knee-jerked" answer?

very interesting thoughts coming from super and cborg...but, in the end like sag10 says new people will come and play and the world remaines balanced...

ive actually really been enjoying the p&r and associated artist sections or the org lately...i havent really noticed much negativity...and with chemmie gone and teller back to being the awesome guy he is, im learning a lot... for me, the org will always rock!! no matter who is here...

make the best of what cha got!!!

sosgemini said:

Yup!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I don't rank people as who is "better" and who is not. We all have something to offer eachother,but if you have issues with being a member of this community, leave. That's the way I see it.

Sweeny79 said:

that's the point. that is letting all the embittered and pointlessly cruel cynics win.

Sweeny79 said:

When i said better I wasn't thinking popularity or rank, more like those who don't spread negativity to the point that it makes people want to leave.

sosgemini said:

fair enough - point well taken!

but to be honest, that whole concept has been on my mind for quite a while now (made a post about it - wanna hear it? - here it goes! )

guess i should have practiced what i preach!

Since we're being honest around these parts, if you had said you were leaving Sweeny, I would have said that I didn't want you to go. I think you are a very sweet person and I have enjoyed reading your posts. "Don't let the door hit you to hard on the ass on the way out". I would have never said some shit like that to anyone. Oh, well.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Now I don't know Stymie or Tackam at all so don't think that this is about them, but who you like may not be who I like. Who you think is a positive addition, I may fucking hate. I stand by my original statement. If you are gonna be a big old cry baby, leave , we don't need you.

Sweeny79 said:

ohh...i have sooo made so many people dislike me for saying the same things... cborg and i had a great private discussion about this issue..and what i walked away from it is that sometimes its best just to let people vent..cause calling them out for their "drama" is only gonna hurt feelings...

but then, i think a good dose of "perspective" is needed every now and then...and sometimes honesty can be hard to swallow...so you gotta address the issue with care...

Sweeny79 said:

Sometimes people need to release so I don't think their feelings should be invalidated or discounted so quickly.


You are right in that one person's friend is anothers enemy...

stymie said:

Again I was speaking generally, not about you or anyone specific. I don't know you well, but you seem like a nice person to me too.

Look Hon, assholes have gotten to me here too. At times I really wanted to leave just to avoid running into certain people or having to read their annoying bullshit posts, but I didn't leave. I took a break, I told the select few I truly do care about on this site and I stayed away for a few days until I calmed down.

I wish you and everyone else here the best, the drama just really gets to me at times. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. That was not my intent. I should really think before I speak sometimes.

sosgemini said:

yes and no. my belief is that if they are venting about it, it's important enought to them that it should be heard. and if you don't agree with it, don't. but belittling people and mocking them (something that very often gets passed off as "honesty" around these parts) is definately NOT the way to go. namecalling and mockery does no good whatsoever.

if a person needs a bit of honesty, do it with a great bit of tact.

and thank you, kee. i appreciate that little nod

Sweeny79 said:

I will always respect anyone's right to speak their minds.

sosgemini said:

Agreed, I do come off as harsh at times, I apologize forthat.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

exactly. it may seem like bullshit to you, but it obviously very important to them.

and look it from an outside perspective... many people probably think your problem is complete bullshit but have the decency to allow you your feelings. i can think one particular example of a VERY high profile orger who ranted about goodbye threads multiple times, and what was the first thing he did when he left?

a god-damned goodbye thread.

cborgman said:

Cuz even those damn naggers need validation once in a while

See that exasperates me!
