As you can see, I'm not an advocate of the nice, fluffy form of "support" that Yoshie's pushing. Never had much use for it myself. However, I respect people...up until they tell me to go rot in hell. Then I prefer to switch to brutal honesty - that is, on a forum with hundreds of members, you're essentially no one to most of us here. So this big announcement is just narcissism in my book. Get over yourself. You should have be more dignified and simply PM'd those few people you deem worthy, then left quietly. Now, when you do inevitably return, people like me will simply think you're an attention-seeking a$$. Or should I say "emo tard"?
I agree with the statement that he should have just left quietly.
It is also possible that he is having a hard time, possibly didn't think of this method of leaving. Maybe he is actually frustrated and does want validation - things like this happen when the mind is in panic or lost or whatever. We don't know whats going on in his head. Also, its possible he doesn't actually know if anyone he liked liked him back thus the anxiety of PMing someone which would make a message like this easier. While there were many different ways to go about something like this there are many different possibilities as to why he did something like this.
Furthermore while agreed on your, "in a message board full of thousands of people you are nobody to most of them" you yourself took his comment personally. You jumped to the conclusion or assumed that he was directing his comment on how the rest of you can all go to hell directly to you instead of looking at it objectively as it was simply a general statement and means - on a message board filled with thousands of people- nothing to one person specifically.
As for Yoshi, its rather simple for someone to claim they have AS, its also rather simple if you're smart to fool someone into something like this its called being an intelligent hypochondriac. Thus I highly doubt that there will really be any way to definitely tell if one has AS or not anytime soon, nice as it might be.
As for you snake, I don't know you well and understand the frustration this board can bring. Like some other people suggested if you must leave than leave but take a break and you're always welcomed back if you wish to return.
