Stepping down from moderation is the solution. It's less radical than quitting the forum board and not nearly as lame. If you want things to die, don't do it while getting in some last kicks at the dead horse.

Omni Wrote:Eos said stepping-down threads are okay, correct? Well, this is more like both in one thread. So this makes it a huge exception?

That's not leaving.

I mean the radical decision. WHY CAN'T PEOPLE WORK OUT THEIR PROBLEMS IN THE FIRST PLACE. That's the point.

Because it's easier to blame them on other things and pretend that removing those obstacles will make everything better.

Harrison is not "QQing" over just an infraction, and I'm not leaving just because of it. That is ridiculous. There are other things that Southperry does not know about, so please do not judge him based only on what you see.

Swerve Wrote:Hi. I'm going to ask a series of rhetorical questions that I don't want to be answered. I'm just asking them to make you look like an incompetent moderator. Even though I'm going to state that it's not your business to make this public, I'm going to interfere and smear my douche-baggery all over this thread to let everyone know how awesome I am for lecturing you after you have stepped down from your moderation post. See when I'm a douche-bag, it's faux-justified because I'm too busy pointing out your mistakes for people to realize my own short-comings in how I decided to present this post. Maybe if I had thought things through more carefully, I wouldn't have barged into this thread like the Kool Aid Man and screamed, "Oh Yeah" upon entering this thread.
If I realized what an attention whoring hypocrite I really am inside, I would probably have not tried to play the part of both saint and sinner in the same post. But that just goes along with my nature of being a vindictive jackass. Maybe next time when I want to cosplay as Batman, I should just leave that fetish at home instead of donning my online identity as a black and yellow cashmere crotch-tight underwear hero who dispenses justice like a hooker on the side of a crummy Red Light District. Don't get me wrong, I respect the fact that you pointed out the flaws about this situation, but what goes on between your thought process and your online actions should be "self"-moderated a bit more carefully next time. You're being a douche and people have a right to know this, but you should also know that it's your fault for being a douche and you can be cured before you reach the terminal stages of this disease. It's called Douche-B-Gone. No disrespect meant to you or your douche. In truth, your post was a bit too hypocritical for me to read, so I pretend I was a six year old child with down syndrome while I responded to this post. Because if I frankly pretended to have enough sympathy to try to understand how someone like you could actually exist in real life, it would still be as some abstract cast character from the Jersey Shore like Pauly D who goes around flaunting his abs with his t-shirt off in the middle of New York City.
By the way, I wrote this post from my ipad while I was doing vert ramps on my skateboard.
Finally, someone understands my post. Hit the nail on the head, man.
Be back in a few, have to go bench press for another hour and then I've got a tanning appointment after.

Glad you've made this apparent, because it honestly seemed like too silly of a reason to be the case.

Annnnywaaay. I'm a bit tired of goodbye threads, regardless of who it is. 90% of the people who said they were leaving came right back. So much drama.
I understand you're stepping down, but, you put some personal stuff in their that I honestly did not care to know about. Just say your stepping down, and a general reason why.
Won't Be Coming Back

Deletion isn't "babying". I don't lack of willpower to stay off this forum. Rather, I want my account to become unsearchable.
In the time you used to type that post, you could have completed what I had requested. Why is it so hard for you to pull the trigger?

Because, as you'll no doubt hear often in life, you're not worth it.
Thread has derailed far enough, Rick's said his goodbyes and rebuttals.
