im taking an extended break from the site.
my character has been called into question in the forums and for me i feel it is unexceptable and possibly character assassination.
the resulting action of another person could lead people to spread rumors, innuendo, half-truths and a munipulation of facts.
we all know the damage this can have on someone on these sites even more so as im a single man.
so it is best i take a step back, take time to think things over and return if i feel i can salvage my name and rebuild it.
i wish everyone well.
Hey tyracer... the comments were on your post, not on your character! It is easy enough to take things personally but I doubt any insult was intended. And I don't think a random post or a post's rebuttal would ever shatter - or even mildly alter - people's opinion about a user's personality. These impressions are formed over time and it takes more than a couple of funny posts that to change them.
I feel for you as I have recently gone through a week or two where I felt like I was being witch-hunted in chat... By all means, if you think a break would help you go ahead. I hope you feel positive again soon.
Christ ty that's a bit hasty, we didn't think any post was against you personally and as far as we are concerned would never judge anyone on the content of a forum post.
don't go mate you will be a loss to all on here
Could you imagine how busy the forum would be if every user of this site had to leave a goodbye thread.
I never see the need for sympathy threads like this anyway.
I have to admit I'm suprised at some of the very negative replies to TY's initial post! My own thoughts are sometimes it's better not to post a reply if it tries to ridicule a previous post by a member.
Nellie's right TY.
