Title: See you guys later......Or maybe sooner:/
Post by: 'Butterflies' on September 25, 2011, 10:35:23 AM
I've decided that it would be best to call it quits here.

I have a rather argumentative and combative personality, and realize that I'm just going to end up arguing with everyone pretty soon. It seems like a similar situation is about to occur here as happened to me in school. I got into fights with a few people, and pretty soon had managed to fight the whole school. Unlike school, I have the option of leaving before I make everyone dislike me.
In real life, I live in a comfortable little bubble and anyone who I dislike is quickly removed. Obviously that isn't the case here, and it seems that I'm not very good at dealing with people I dislike without fighting them.

I don't want anyone to think that anybody other than myself is responsible for the situation I am in. Fight people at the rate that I have done, and you will eventually piss off everyone. I am fully responsible for this.

A while back, I could say that I liked virtually everyone on the site, and it was great. The amount of people I dislike is now growing, and I would imagine that the amount of people who dislike me is growing. This is not a situation that is likely to end well for me.

When I joined the site, it was recommended to me by my cousin as a way of dealing with my social anxiety. Sadly it has not helped that, but has certainly helped sharpen my tongue, and for that, I am very grateful.
Also, when I first joined, I was living in a new country with my cousin as the only similar aged company, and he was, at the time, in a drug induced stupor. This place was a great help, and somewhere to get away from the issues that affected me in real life.
Since then, my cousin has got over his drug problems, and we have been joined by his girlfriend, my little sister, and my best friend. I have also made a couple of other good friends.
Now, Instead of being a place that I can escape my real life problems, it has became a place that is creating real life problems. My friends are getting more and more pissed off at me for putting this place above socializing with them. It's pissing them off that we'll be sitting in the house drinking, and I'll be typing away on here, half-ignoring what's going on in the room. I am regularly turning down nights out to sit in and use this site.
I think that the easiest time to "kick this habit" is now, when I'm obviously pretty fed up with things. If I tried when I was enjoying things, I wouldn't manage.

I had thought about saying goodbye to a lot of you individually, but I would only forget one or two people, so I thought I'd just say it to you all at once.
A lot of you have been great internet buds, and I will miss you. You were great when things weren't going so well in real life.

This is a great site, and one I have grown to love, and I honestly wish it all the best for the future. I'm sure it will certainly be a more harmonious place without me.

To everyone who has shown me kindness, I honestly wish you all the very best for the future. You are a great bunch of people.


I don't expect to return, but who knows what will happen in the future.
I will probably spy on you occasionally as a guest, so watch what you're saying about me :P





With real love.

Lorna x

Noes. Don't leave. Like CBC said.. take a break and find that lots (here) will be different when you return. Let it just cool down a bit.

Well, suit self ofc., but I think it's a shame if you left permanently.

I hate to think of anyone leaving.  I hope you see things in a different
perspective in a few days.  To be honest i think you paint yourself
a bit blacker than you are.  I don't think you are particularly argumentative.
I won't bother digging up quotes but you were really trying to not get into that fight with SteveO.  I remember thinking you were patient. Ok it escalated horribly but that's life.

JMO

Of course you are young and have a social life so i don't blame you really - but hope you don't delete your account and drop in from time to time.

Butterflies you have made me smile many times by your posts.  So, a big
thank you for that.

Take care,  and hope to hear you made it on a plane some day.

But if you want to leave, leave. Frankly no point making threads about it. You WILL most likely return someday, just look at useless tossers like Binty.

I've left quite a few times for the same reasons myself, but didn't feel the need to bring attention to myself. :P

Was nice meeting you here. In a way it is great that real life is getting in the way of this place. Will miss you around, won't beg you to stay. No need to make it a final goodbye either.

And this site a more harmonious place without you?   :autism:

Don't think so.

Dunno if it helps Butterflies, but I do not think you that sharp a tongue nor particularly good at fighting.
Fighting me and TCO (both of us have fought a lot of people on here)is not indicative that you will fight everyone.
And this is not school. It is a combatative forum.
Sure you lost a lot of my respect and I think that has far more to do with your personal conduct in my callout than anything else, it doesn't mean that you are going to be disliked by all.
Dunno if that will help.

She told me what happened and I thought I'd come on to the site to see things for myself.
She is quite sad just now, and TBH I felt a lump in my throat myself when I read her goodbye speech, but she will be fine.
I have done a lot of snooping here and I have seen how much she argues with others. Half the callout threads seem to involve her :o So I don't think she can complain when she ends up in the middle of an argument.

As for you Les, regardless of who was in the right, and personally I think you have both been totally in the wrong, you have done her a great service.
Me and her friends have spent many months trying to get the old Lorna back, and persuade her to spend less time online. We succeeded a bit over the summer, only for her to return here again. You have succeeded where we have failed. So well done.

I have no idea if she will ever return, at least to post. I know that I will do all that I can to persuade her not to come back. I really don't think it is good for her spending so much time here. As soon as she remembers she can use my account to snoop without anyone knowing its her, I doubt if I'll be able to stop her having the odd nose about the place.

She has now banned me from using her account to snoop, so I have no option but to use my own. I'm sure you'll see me here sometimes.

I'm sad to hear that but understand it is for the best.

Say Hi to her for me Deadbeat / Gavin (whichever you prefer being called :laugh:) and that I hope she finds the balance she wants and needs.  :)

I did not think the callout I had on her was responsible for her leaving but you are in a much better position to gauge I guess.

But do they fight others as much as she seems to be doing herself? :P

By the way, Butterflies may act like she doesn't give a damn about stuff, but deep inside it's clear she's a very sensitive person. I think she's hurt that all this had to happen lately.

But that is just the way I'm seeing it.

Usually I agree with you on this subject, but I can see how she thought an explanation was necessary, having two active callouts. Would be odd if she just up and left without saying anything.

If she needed to explain, PMing Les would've been more suitable IMHO.

I like Butterflies and all, but a member saying they're leaving most likely means they'll come back. Like I pointed out before, Binty has done this multiple times. Other members such as Dook, Richtard, TCO etc. also did this too. I know Butterflie's intent was not to bring attention to herself and to bring callouts to an end, but such threads bring the opposite effect.

I still wonder. Butterflies is a good troll. Not that it matters in the slightest. If she wanted to say something else "in another voice" to convey another message to what she would normally say then it is a good vehicle to do so. If it is DC and he wishes to state his view on things then again all good.

I just reread what she said, and think this bit is all wrong

Quote
In real life, I live in a comfortable little bubble and anyone who I dislike is quickly removed. Obviously that isn't the case here, and it seems that I'm not very good at dealing with people I dislike without fighting them.

 :zombiefuck:  I wonder how they are removed, lol.  My point is if this is the
case i think everyone has to learn how to deal with people who you either dislike or feel indifferent about.  Especially someone in business.  Just think
it safer to learn that here, or somewhere on the internet first.  You should look on it as a learning curve. No need to leave.

If Deadbeat is Butterflies, what's she trying to achieve by issuing a callout thread and then leaving in an hour or so only to come back under this username?

If that is what one would call a "good troll", then congratulations.

I do think that Butterflies is in no danger of having the board hate her. I do not think she is in danger of being ganged up on or driven out of here with pitchforks and placards by an angry mob.

She does say that she is a combatative nature. Many of us here are. In this respect she actually fits the mold a lot more closely to what this place is set up for.

So putting aside any personal feeling towards Butterflies, she is smart, combatative, popular and active.

These aspects are actually good for THIS environment. It is not a school nor a workplace.

She can choose to use this integral parts to her character and so long as she doesn't break the written rules she will not get banned and so long as she follows the basic unmoderated suggestions like backing her claims and staying out of Peanut galleries when she is a contestant of a callout and staying out of the callouts when she is not a contestant, it will make the forum run better.

She need not be in any callouts if she doesn't wish to. Many on here have never been in a callout or never will. If she is, then she just needs to back herself well. No silly claims and straight up dealings.

Butterflies has proven she is no slouch in an argument at dishing it out. I have seen her in form, a number of times, being unreservedly brutal and this is one of the few places (certainly on the internet) where she can do this. It is no indictment of her that she is tough and articulate and intelligent and can argue strongly and dominate those who are not able to argue as effectively as her. The forum allows this and to an extent encourages this.

The flipside is that is that she can be on the recieving end too. I have only ever seen this happen against Butterflies once.
I do not think that this is a training ground. I do not see this as to be likened to school or a party or a pub or work. I see this as an unmoderated (barely moderated0 forum with dysfunctional aspies who are not for the most part thick-skinned. A forum with smart and often opinionated people.

People similar to Butterflies.

Much of her reasons for being sad or reasons to cite as wanting to leave do not make much sense to me. They do not need to. They are Butterflies. Her choice.

As I say, I do not think she is bad for the place or fast travelling the road to fighting everyone or being hated. I do think she has a little more control of her actions. (The lack of such control she disliked in TCO).

I do not think she will be rounded on in coming back should she ever wish to. At least in no more way than TCO might have been rounded on. This place is for any fault that may be leveled at it is pretty forgiving and full of some pretty decent and accepting people (and me).

She may need to be able to view this, apparent knock to her confidence, as being soomething indeed to learn from and grow from. I hope she can. I also think a break will be good to her regardless. I think that real life is more important. I do value friends ( I guess everyone has seen that) and think time spend communicating with friends is important.

IF butterflies comes back, I hope that it is a happier Butterflies and one who has enjoy time away and has a new vigour and new confidence and less sensitivity. Be good for everyone.

She need not be in any callouts if she doesn't wish to.

Depends.

The way I see it, once the stone has been set, you cannot just ditch the area and pretend you never set anything there. Well, you can. But it won't be the most noble thing to do.

I can understand if someone made a callout thread to someone else, and that latter refused to participate. That would be understandable as he/she didn't ask for a callout to happen and, thus, agreed to no stone being set. Afterall, not every person here feels he/she has to be in any callout here. Although I should really try to see if I can, one day, get CBC to have a serious callout with me. :P

Regardless, I think, to me, it's a matter of taking responsibility and going with it to the end.
Title: Re: See you guys later
Post by: Al Swearegen on September 26, 2011, 08:06:19 AM
Yes I was inferring future endevours, really. As I say there are people here who have fun and are not dominated or supplicating but just do not make callouts or place themselves in situations where people are likely to call them out. These people are not wrong for doing so and are some our most loved members.
it comes down to choice and freedom of expression. If someone chooses to be combatative or whatever on here, then they will get involved in the callout side of things. Those who don't generally won't. Those that do have to accept all that comes with it, good and bad. It is part of the way this place is.
IF Buuterflies comes back she could choose to ignore all callouts she was involved in and say 'I don't want to do callouts anymore" or she could with new vigour and confidence give them a renewed thrash or "dissolve them" quickly and seek to enjoy the other aspects of I2.
They would all be choices and withinher power.
IF she comes back.

But if you want to leave, leave. Frankly no point making threads about it. You WILL most likely return someday, just look at useless tossers like Binty.

I've left quite a few times for the same reasons myself, but didn't feel the need to bring attention to myself. :P

That's 'cause no one gives a shit about you schleed.  :hahaha:

But yeah, if I got pissed off or whatever from here I'd just leave it be and take a break for a few weeks or so. Nobody really does care, so there's little point making any sort of announcement.

I just reread what she said, and think this bit is all wrong

Quote
In real life, I live in a comfortable little bubble and anyone who I dislike is quickly removed. Obviously that isn't the case here, and it seems that I'm not very good at dealing with people I dislike without fighting them.

 :zombiefuck: I wonder how they are removed, lol.  My point is if this is the
case i think everyone has to learn how to deal with people who you either dislike or feel indifferent about.  Especially someone in business.  Just think
it safer to learn that here, or somewhere on the internet first.  You should look on it as a learning curve. No need to leave.
Laser removal is the most effective means, but seriously, totally get what she said there.

Isn't it odd how certain people do or don't get along? I was OK with her despite some differences. Her politics were in line with odeot and MOSW. Despite that we found things in common. She was always honest and up front with me.

I also don't agree with the politics of Cal and Rock Hound but both are decent people IMO.

Rock Hound is a straight forward, what you see is what you get guy. I can appreciate that even though we don't agree on several issues.

Cal is a trickster, a devils advocate but he's honest about that. I can appreciate that too.

odeot and MOSW on the other hand, are about as honest as Hillary or Trump, take your pick.

You know me, I either have fun or I make fun. I will argue with anyone, including myself about anything or nothing. I enjoy an intellectual (even though I rarely measure up around here) intercourse, discourse, recourse, concourse, etc (choose the prefix du jour). I generally maintain a civil tone, however.
She was never like this with me.

She always came at me with hiss and fang first, spitting venom. Sometimes I did not even understand what lit her short fuse. Trying to get her to focus and answer an argument was often like trying to nail smoke to the wall.
Still, all that was entertaining and I miss her input.

Cool story MOSW, that does not make a lot of sense but many stories don't. I did have a bourbon. It is Father's Day and my daughter took me to my favorite cafe for lunch and then down to the local pub for my favourite dessert and a bourbon and coke to wash it down. That was 4 hours ago. I am sure it has settled fine
