This probably only matters to like zero to maybe three people tops, but I don’t plan on posting here anymore. I don’t feel like being all melodramatic, but as one user aptly phrased it, I’m perplexed and butthurt. The concept of joining a forum just to antagonize others really really confuses me. I honestly can’t figure out why so many people do that. It isn’t secure here, for me. I was deluded in thinking that those who typically bother me in person wouldn’t be duplicated 60 million-fold on the internet.
This forum has showed me that places on the internet that aren’t strictly informational aren’t a safe place for those who take things a bit too seriously. I can joke around, and I’ve even made a couple friends, but I just can’t deal with the social dynamic of WrongPlanet in the long term sense. I’ll probably come online and receive PM’s and such, but that’s all.
It wasn’t one specific event; it was a cumulative set of unsettling observations.
I also posted this in the “random” thread because it sounds both rant-like and random, doesn’t it? Thank you, to the people that acted like they knew there was a person on the other side of their communications.
