Sorry for a MeMeMeMe thread ...
I'm getting enough PMs to justify posting an explanation (I apologize for the length, but those who care will read it, those who don't want to read it but feel compelled to just post a useless insulting comment, go fuck yourselves, 'kay?):
IN THE EVENT I QUIT THIS SITE IT IS NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, FORM OR FASHION BECAUSE OF DIPSHIT KB!!! I know what kind of poster he is, okay? Nor did I go crying to administration about him and as a result he was banned. I was just as surprised as anyone else and did nothing to generate that action. KB got banned because of KB, not because of anything I did. All he managed to do was bring some points home to me that have been rattling around in my head for a while, specifically:
1. I'm spending too much time here that should be spent doing other things (studying, working, exercising, etc.).
2. I don't know if my perception of "women hating" on the board is just MY perception, or if it's real. I really don't mind teasing, but I keep picking up genuine bitterness, anger, and negativity coming from real places, directed at women. And this is not just one specific poster or thread. However, I'm also willing to admit I'm no longer sure if it's the forum that has changed or just my perception. I'm willing to admit it might be me. I need some distance to clear my vision.
3. I'm getting really disgusted with seeing guys posting that a 26 or 27 year old women is getting old and may be needing plastic surgery or HRT when I'm facing my 43rd birthday in a few weeks (I won't even talk about "Perfect Weight" posts or "Perfect Waist Circumference" posts ...). I'm thinking that perhaps the reason the site is getting on my nerves isn't the site so much as me growing up and losing my tolerance for superficial bullshit. Scary thought that. In short, coming to C&C is starting to make me feel old.
4. I've been spending less and less time here because lately the board (C&C mostly, which I keep getting drawn back to like a junkie) just seems to either piss me off or makes me sad. All the good posters, who generated genuinely thought provoking, conversational posts (you know who they were) seem to have evaporated. Some very good posters are still here, but a LOT of the best material gets drowned under comments that sound like they sprang out of a 7th grade locker room.
