I've noticed I've gotten short-sighted, assumptive, impatient and rash when posting on these threads of late. I don't like my own attitude and, moreover, I don't like the way I've come off to others.

So, I'm taking a break. Between the trolls, griefing alts and, shall we say, certain less than helpful residents, I think I'm turning into one of those myself at times. I need to stay out of this place for a good while, regain my composure, get back to a place where I know who I am and feel good about it again.

To anyone I've offended in the slightest, my apologies. It wasn't my intention.

Oh you'll be back, probably as an alt....the one's who say they leave never really do....why are you causing drama? etc, etc. :p

*I figured we might as well get it out of the way.

I have not seen any problem with your posts, but then I am often a bit gruff myself (some would even say I'm a bitch often).

Hurry back - we'll keep your spot warm.

*hugs*

Me neither - and it's surely hard to keep the twitching fingers from replying to some of the posts before the brain engages! :)

Let's see.

Can I have your stuff?

No wait, that's not right.

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to declare that you're quitting the forums for ever, only to show up a week later acting like nothing happened.

No wait, that's not right either.

Have a good break Ghosty. Here's to you channeling your forum energies toward something constructive in-world!

And I presume this self imposed exile doesn't include the undying thread, 'natch.

Maybe you just need to have some wool shorn off and perhaps, being a llama, some spitting therapy might make you more relaxed! Take care and come back soon, though!

What? What are you talking about? Is this the Friday thread?

(laughs)

Wait, wait! Now I have to go through your posts to see if I can be slightly offended, so as not to waste a perfectly good apology!

(I'll report my results.)

Results: I looked through twelve pages of posts. My diagnosis: you are too nice! Maybe you were FEELING mean or irritated, but it sure didn't come out in the things you wrote.

Okay, I looked through several pages of Ghosty postings, as ready to be offended as I could be, and this was the worst I could find:

Two elitist remarks:

I've never tried White Castle's coffee. Is it as good as Dunkin' Donuts?

From: Ghosty Kips
Mmmmm almost up there with rhubarb! :) (see /327/61/313413/2.html#post2366834)


One unfeeling remark:

From: Ghosty Kips
Getting hurt is just a measurement on a meter... (see /327/93/313402/1.html#post2366377)


And this, just plain mean!

From: Ghosty Kips
... have you tied the page down, Key? (see /327/98/313449/1.html#post2366860)

i can relate to this totally..i find myself leaving and taking a break when i become too caught up..
they can become addictive..i fell so far behind on my projects in world because it didn't take much for me to become engulfed in a topic all day long..
breaks are are good and you come back with more perspective i believe ..that results in benefiting the forums even more..
i hope you have a good break.. :)
