Maybe it's time to call it quits.

Yeah, so, stick around, Ezra. We need people like you to fire off the rockets of truth against the small-minded, emotion-based "thinkers" on here.

Like I said, make your own thread then you can come at me. That would be cake.

Mod note: Personal attacks are taken very seriously on WP. This is the Haven. Attacking someone who is posting here is even more unacceptable.

Let's get this thread back on track.

Agreed, wholeheartedly.

I don't always agree with what you say, Ezra, but I always find it worth reading. I hope whatever your choice that it makes you happier, but for my part I'll miss you if you leave.

Thank you for the support and encouragement everyone. I have been feeling very low and drained lately. I was thinking of at least ditching this account altogether and starting over fresh. No age, gender, location or name. Someone here has one of those, just a couple of letters and a number as an identifier. And try to be as aloof as possible. Either I will or I won't no sense in talking about it really.

I think you are a fine person Ezra.

As far as staying in my room goes for those who don't know, I am pretty much a shut in. There's no friends or social life or lifestyle that I would be turning away from. Never has been and never will be. Which is fine. I find comfort in solitude, which is a good thing since I don't have any realistic choice in the matter.

So when are you going off to college? I know you've said you might not have the physical capability, but I can say for certain (as someone who has taught at top colleges) that you have more than enough intellectual ability. There are plenty of ways to get your temporal needs accommodated these days -- I think you really need to enter an environment where you can develop your talents further. (That's the only reason to leave us online idiots behind.)

I might sound smart but I have bad learning disability. I operate poorly academically.

Sorry to hear you're having such a rough time, Ezra. I'd be sad to see you leave WP too, but whatever you do, all the best. I may not agree with every post you make, but you sure have posted some that just make me go . You're very good at joining a thread which is getting stagnant and making an astute observation from an angle that no-one else considered. In particular, some of your posts when people (including me ) have been idealising autism and demonising "the NTs" have really made me look again at my own stupid thinking. Thankyou.

i thought you were stronger than that ezra.
you know you have the fairest mind and can argue with both the ideological sides.
you see BS. edit: i don't mean what you see is BS, i mean you can identify it.

you say what you see and i almost always am impressed by how someone your age can be so well considered.
you know who you are challenging. both sides.
and both sides take the time to try to reason with you (in their own ideals) and you never just give up and become a disciple of anything.
good work mate.
i admire such imperviousness to strong social persuasions.

i am not as wise as you.

but if you have a sore heart, then it's up to someone else to heal it i guess. i don't know.

i read all your posts and can predict before i read them, that your response will be temperate.

i hope you are not too physically disabled. i have no idea about your mobility and stuff.
i hope you are healthy enough to reach old age.

anyway, that is from me b9 who is the coldest bastard on the forum.

yeah well i guess that was me.
i just was extremely insensitive in how i phrased my question.

i only wondered, since you said more than a year before, that you had an aggressive brain tumor, how you were still so well.

i never once expressed any desire for you to be dead.
it would be a tragic thing if you died.
it is a very sobering thing to imagine a notice from alex that says that you had passed away.

honestly. you are young and i did not know that you could be affected by anything someone as old and crusty as me said.

i am so sorry for phrasing that post that way.

Why? x2

Ezra, you are my favourite online-person. I always think you have something good to say.
I would miss you.
