Day 1 of getting off my lazy ass

Ok, I am coming out of my hiatus to clear this up. There is enough drama here, but I don't want people to misunderstand what I say and why I say it. My blog was because I was frustrated and stressed out about this forum and I didn't like how people were treated here. This is a tickling forum. The most innocent of actions and should provide people with joy. If we saw a forum where people got off on jumping in bouncy houses and there was a giant war on there, we would laugh our asses off.

I am going to state my opinion when I feel people are being wrong and not treated right, which is what I believe I did, but to get stressed out about it to where it's bothering you even after you log off is a problem. I don't like how people reacted here when others complained. I especially don't like it because these people are my friends and I thought they cared about the community as a whole. But I was feeling overwhelmed and that the best thing for me was to leave. It is temporary and just until I feel this whole thing has died down. It almost has already.

You responded with this:
Is it always so easy to walk away from something when things are not going your way? Take it as a life lesson: it's only as bad as you allow it to affect you. Everything in life has it's good times and bad times, but if you stick with it thru the bad you find the good times that much better.

But then, why do that when it's easier to walk away, right?

It's not easy to walk away. And I'm not doing it because I didn't get my way. There is rampant arguing going on in every place I looked here the other day. I was overwhelmed and I thought it best to take a step back rather than let it bother me more. It was a personal choice. I am very involved with this forum, so it wasn't easy to stop posting. I've proven that by replying here. I like coming here.

For you to give me a life lesson was unwarranted as you don't really know me nor I you. I would feel uncomfortable saying the things you said to me if the situation were reversed because I know absolutely nothing about you. That came across in a bad way. This place shouldn't be such a big deal as to make me feel overwhelmed, sure, and when I see it does, I need to step back. But this place shouldn't hold so much weight as to need a life lesson attached to it.

When you said "Why do that, when it's easier to walk away" that is what hit it home for me and really hurt my feelings. It wasn't exactly an easy decision to "walk away" from the forum and it wasn't a permanent choice. Just wanted everyone to cool off, myself included. That statement implied that you think I just walk away from things when they get hard, which is completely the opposite if you actually knew me.

I deleted your comment because you didn't know me, why I was upset, and your comment bothered me.

In the end, it's my blog and I can delete or not delete what I want.

But you wanted a reason and there it is.

Anything further about this, you are welcome to PM me.

This whole thing has already gone too far to make two people who don't even know each other, but have been friendly, have to talk to each other like this.

PM sent. Hopefully, it will be ended that way and without any bad feelings.
