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.
Ty,
that's a shame
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.
Wanna borrow my thick skin ? I was assasinated before Lincoln and you know what I thought ......
It says more about the than it does about me lol
I rarely look at who writes a post, the who doesn't interest me in the slightest, it is what they write I am interested in, and if they don't like me, whooopee, some will some won't but one thing is for sure, I won't lose any sleep over it.
Ride it like essex girl and carry on, just be happy with yourself.
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
Think your being abit of a Drama Queen, I mean FFS your flouncing because you think your reputation has been damaged and you will only return if your name can be salvaged...Oh Please, rolleyes

You say that honesty is important to you but when somebody posts an honest reply to your comments you get all shirty about it !!!
Hardly anybody reads the forums anyway and even less people take any of it seriously !

Honesty is about being truthfull with your opinions not about personal attacks, now I haven't read the post that started all this off but personally, I have no problem with people disagreeing with my views, they are just my opinion, nobody has to agree with them, but they have no right to say anything about my character for having an opinion that differs from thiers. I respect thier right to have an opinion and will not degrade or be abusive to them for not agreeing with me.
My favourite thing about forums is the fact that they are for debate, not arguments, not bullying, not forcing you views on someone and not abuse, I have found that over the years debate in forums has occasionally changed my opinion of something, other times it has re-inforced my opinion, I have certainly learnt a lot from the debates and long may it be that way.
You can say you don't agree with someone and you can give your own opinion of a situation but you cannot say that saying some one is wrong is being honest it is only your honest opinion of a situation, just because you believe it doesn't mean you are right and someone else is wrong. There is a world of difference between accusing someone of being something without proof and having an opinion about someone.
But of course that is "just my opinion"

He already had plans to be away anyway, according to one post in LMU about Broad Street in September (posted much earlier than his flounce or the thread he thinks his character was questioned).

So he was using his so called assassination of his character as an excuse for some attention, for something he was going to do anyway...
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.

My pet hate on these forums is your need to tell the world your leaving, slamming the door then reappearing some time later like it never happened, if you goner go, just go, if you want to tell anyone, take it to PM.

Personally, I question the other person's character more so!!
Tyracer, dont go because of another persons comments about you, there are so many people on this site who say such harsh things about others but for every one of them there are several nice people who dont judge others or make such harshl comments ..... stay and enjoy life and ignore those who are not as pleasant smile

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.

In Ty's defence he meant that he was going to be out of the country as he was for the three weeks prior to Saturday night

Hey breaks can take many different shapes and forms! Taking a break from the forums but still replying to private messages... Taking a break from chat but continuing to browse ads and profiles... Personally I am on an SH vacation, while using this extremely low-impact account innocent If I had to go cold-turkey I would self-combust.

Do you miss him? Or do you police profiles checking out ' last seen '
Loads of people take time out from the chatroom and forum but still login to email, check for meets etc.
Imho you need to get out more, or you've too much time on your hands.

:thumbup:
Nothing changes on here, does it? How many times people flounce 'cos they don't like what they hear.
I understand getting your back up if you think people are having a go but forums are about airing opinions and if you put yours on here, surely you're automatically accepting you are opening yourself up to all kinds of attention and criticism?
I dunno. dunno As a wise person once said - take a spoonful of cement and harden the fuck up.
The day I give a shit what you lot think of me is the day I will happily cut my own throat.
