I just wanted to say goodbye to everyone here. Thank you for your friendships and the laughs.

I am leaving because I spent 4 days away from this place and it was quite a relief not to be surrounded by toxic negativity and petty arguments. I get really anxious on here and I don't think it's good for me to be in this environment.

Please know that the majority of you have nothing to do with my leaving it is just a couple of bad eggs.

I thought I owe it to everyone to say something instead of just disappearing.

Bye. X

So happy to hear you are doing what is right for you. Sometimes when the cyber toxicity gets too much, you just simply need to take a break to remind yourself what actually matters.

Thank you so much for that email you sent me a few weeks ago. I will treasure it always. You are a kind and gentle boy, and I am sorry I unleashed my inner cunt on you all that time ago.

Good luck, Lucas. And I hope to see you again.

Just putting it out there...if this has been happening (WB and reepbot hijacking threads, trolling, trying to fan flames, start fights, etc.) then why hasn't everyone just put them on ignore? Based on the last few pages I've just read it seems it's really upsetting some people so using the block/ignore function seems like the most logical thing to do. When people are trolling for attention you're only giving them what they want by responding and the whole thing goes around and around. As an outsider in this whole thing it doesn't seem like either party have had any constructive dialogue in a very long time.

Great post, and no doubt by sharing it, you are now on his list! Ha!

I have never been partial to the block function, however the last time I was in the Reepbot Thread, I decided I was done and I put them both on block, and mentally vowed never to go back in there - so far so good.

Having them blocked makes this thread so much easier to read. While there is that secret worry that you will miss out, or not have context, for me it has worked out well. You see, I can tell by the replies when it is a response to SB/RB, and I don't need context because my history with him has taught me it will be the same old same old repetitive Mutley extortion/pedophile, Coops threatens genocide/has a mummy brain, Bleachy is fat/has friends, Jess has a HECS debt/is judgy, Jordan is a troll/is a troll/is a troll, I am a non visa stamped/ex drug abuser/20 year old criminal history toting sex offender (because I like orgasms) etc etc kind of stuff.

For me, putting them both on block eliminates the temptation for me to interact with them, because bottom line, we all know it's our responses that are their forum oxygen supply. If you are sick of reading, or being a part Witty vs The Ever Growing Clique battle, just remember without a response it just becomes The Witty & Reepbot Show. I am hoping without any outside interaction, and only having each other to bounce off, they might even get sick of each other.

Off this forum, in real life, there are a lot of people I don't understand. There are people with double standards, aggressive people who just seem to like to argue, whimsical people who seem off with the fairies, lazy people who somehow expect other people to do their work for them, people who only see things from their point of view. I guess my strategy in real life is to minimise my contact with people who seem to cause negativity and maximise my contact with people who create positivity - in the broad sense of negative & positive. I don't always succeed but I try not to get drawn into energy sucking interactions. Just move past them as skilfully as possible.

That's life, and I really believe it is the different flavours that make it interesting.

I like your strategy, and judging by your interactions in here, it works well for you.

To a point most of us (outside Father Darling) have double standards and can be aggressive, granted some more so than others, as I have proven over and over again. And that's okay. We are flawed. I think you are right, there are the lazy, the crazy, the narrow minded and the dreamer, just to name a few. Life is full of people you like, people you love and people you loath, and I think the best part is, while you have no control of how they think, or what they say, you have 100% control of how you respond to it.

I like to call it mindfulness, motherfucker. Mindfulness.
 
It's cute that Trala just spent pages and pages of obsessed comments to cover up that she hates diva departures, the same diva departures she peforms herself under the self-reflection revisioning. Lucky you and your 9 thread saturating essays aren't obsessed, Trala :)

Dear OT Posters,

JOIN THE FRONT ....... Something has to be done!!!!!

If you do not like the fact that Reepy will be posting random stuff on this thread, and wanting and keep posting until he reaches his 13k like posts ... I KNOW it will be FOREVER ........

SO PLEASE BLOCK HIM NOW! and youknowwho ..........

If we all do it, he will be chatting to himself and there will be no confusion in the general daily chatter (I would say banter but that is not a word I shall use) that I myself, enjoyed ONCE

YOUR CHOICE

With Lucas and Jordan leaving, I personally think it is time for a revolt ...... Reepy has his own thread to spin his stuff ........

Let Us Be United and Get this place back on track xxxx[DOUBLEPOST=1448125384][/DOUBLEPOST]

mmmmmm OK whatever you say ........

100% joined your team.

I think Lucas and Jordan just need a break. I had a few months break myself, and sometimes it is the best thing you can do for yourself. You get so caught up in the negativity you start believing that is the majority. It's usually not. On reflection I mentally turned 3 or 4 posters into the vast majority, that kind of distorted thinking is always dangerous.

Seeing my forum birthday love further demonstrates to me that there is far more for me to like in here, than there is for me to dislike.

Again I will say. It's called mindfulness motherfucker. Mindfulness.

Thank fuck!

Topic change!

I was starting to feel like forum Oprah!

Okay craft. As you saw first hand with my blackboard creation, it is not my strong suit. We will need to wait for Mutley to despoon.

Happy birthday @Trala

Thanks sweetest geek.

I had a lovely couple of days. I was given a bottle of Moët something or other, and it was a super let down. Not nice at all. We had friends over a month or so ago for dinner, and she gifted me with my first ever bottle and taste and that one was like drinking happiness, but the one last night took 2 glasses before it became even remotely pleasant.

I've never had Moët before, but it sounds like it went off. Lucky you were able to enjoy it beforehand. And what a great friend.[DOUBLEPOST=1448144913][/DOUBLEPOST]
