Don't get mad because of certain people. There will always be people in life who treat you bad. If you have some good friends then stay.

After much thought this afternoon I have decided that I am leaving the FFN forum community due to the negativity I am experiencing here.
My reasons are as follows...
There are several people here that think I have absolutely no right to post anything either in the chat box or in the forums. Since those individuals don't think I have a right to post anything, in protest, last night I deleted all of the posts that I have made in the forums. Note to Mak: You will have to delete about 26 threads in the forums that I have started since I cannot delete them. I've marked them with "Delete this thread please."
I am sick and tired of being personally attacked by several individuals on here and also by some admins. I am not going to mention names, but you know exactly who you are. You drag this community down with your antics. My question to these people is: Are you proud of yourselves?
Now I feel totally uncomfortable here due to the fact that if I post something someone doesn't agree with, whether in the chat box or the forums, I get personally attacked for it by some people and even by some admins. I find that so incredibly juvenile and I, for one, will not put up with it any longer. I've never attacked anyone on here for what they post, because I believe in free speech. Yet some people think they can do it to me. I don't think so.
There are a lot of good people on FFN, but unfortunately some people find it amusing to play their little game here in the chat box or forums.
Take care...

I can understand that, Budgies... Don't much know about anyone else, but I (for one) will sure as hell miss you. Thank you very much for all of your help with finding me a good instrument - even if I can't afford one just yet, I've bookmarked every link you've sent me on the subject.

Also, what LK said. You can't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch... and, as much as I hate to say it:
isn't really a good way to say goodbye. :/Note to Mak: You will have to delete about 26 threads in the forums that I have started since I cannot delete them. I've marked them with "Delete this thread please."
People were like that to me all the time when I played on the DC server. They would randomly tell me to "shut up" and would be jerks to me. I know how you feel, and I know that there are those people here. the next time I play tf2 and people do that, though, I plan on having comebacks.

Just want you to know you're cool.

Sorry to hear that - I've enjoyed many a game on DC with you.
It's something I've faced as well (though in other places). Everybody has their own thing, and I don't want to sound shallow by saying this - but what worked for me was just not to take it personally. People will always be trolls, and they get a kick out of angering/irritating people. Best thing you can do is either troll them back (carefully), or as is often said, "Don't feed the trolls™" because without reactions, they tend to starve to death.
Their insults aren't a personal attack (and taking them as such is what makes it hurt) so much as just a general lash out either seeking a reaction or venting rage. It's hard when they're so in-your-face with it, and learning to push it off isn't easy, but really worked for me. If someone says something I know is not true, I tell myself a) they don't know me, only my online persona, and b) don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance.
This is also why I am adamant about not verbalizing insults unless I either know the other person well enough to be sure they can take it as a jest, or in situations where it is very clearly meant to be humourous. You just can't know how something will be received when the other person can't see your body language.
Budgies..you dont' have to quit. Your choice. I know sometimes ppl razz you...sometimes even I do, out of fun. I don't mean anything mean. I'm sorry that you feel that you are being attacked. I'll talk to you on facebook.
Usually when I find people are too hostile to my opinions (which is quite often).... I just make less opinions for a while.
I think the only community I ever felt I had to leave b/c of hostility... was the APB community which ironically wasn't even hostile to my own opinions.
I dun know you very well but still everytime i saw you you had a very positive up beat outlook. I really don't like this...I am sorry that people are treating you like crap! It's wrong and whomever is doing that needs to be stabbed in the face with a spork!
First off I am sad to see you leave the community.
Now that I have said that I want to point out a few things. When people seem to "attack" you is when you come into the chat box and start pulling some either self pity or self loathing act, yes people do get annoyed by this very much. Now you aren't completely innocent yourself when it comes to attacking people or start up a $#@! war that had been stopped in previous days. Yet you somehow see yourself a victim any time someone tells you to knock it off yet expect them to only silence the people you are arguing with. Your whole "I am being targeted by admins" is nothing but complete bs, there are no admins who have you on some imaginary hit list, an admin doing their job telling you or others to knock their $#@! off when they are breaking the rules is not personally targeting you, you are not immune from the rules. This post is nothing more than what people are getting annoyed with, a poor me post all the while talking down to others from some high horse. If you honestly have problems with certain people the mature thing would be to talk to Mak about it, not run away and leave a pity me post

First of all, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
You and I disagree on pretty much everything, but we appear to share a love for music and Bob Ross, and as he would say, you need darkness to make light stand out more. Sometimes you need a little darkness in your life to know when the good times come. You appear to be someone who has had a lot of darkness in their life, and in that regard you and I are very similar. Hopefully you can reflect on your time here as a member of the community we shared and see that it wasn't as dark as you might have thought it was.
Good luck with whatever you do.
