I have tried so hard, so god damn hard, and I have tried and tried to make things work here. I truly have. Some of you are genuinely nice people, and to those of you my thanks are sent, but most of the people here are to put it bluntly, gobshites.
With the exception of the few, I have never seen so many ignorant, naive, brain-dead fuckwits in any one place. I have never witnessed such a mass collation of homophobia then here. I have never, not once in my life, found a bigger collection of mindless bastards then this place. The newbies never bother reading the rules. The older and regular users never help anyone and the trolls are simply getting out of hand. There is no real order, and there is certainly no respect for others.
Maybe I just have high standards. Maybe I just thought that the whole point of a forum was to have a place where people could debate and discuss interesting topics and share their knowledge with others so that everyone may benefit from it. I thought forums were a place where everyone was treated as equal.
Evidently I was wrong. By this forum's standards forums are just a place to bullshit, spam, and blatantly break the rules.
Thus, I've had it. I'm out of here, and I strongly urge the few good people here to also leave and rescue your spare time.
So... goodbye. I don't expect any tears, I don't expect any "don't leave!!" comments - I'm not going to come back and read this anyway so fuck it.
There's just a few last words (well, quotes) that I'd like to leave you all with. They're things that have either inspired me, warmed me, entertained me or otherwise advanced me in some way, and I'd like to leave with some of these in a last-ditch effort at teaching you all something. At the least I hope you'll get a quick laugh at of one or two of them.
'Just do me a favour, okay, and just leave me be. Catch my drift?'
'When I get out of here... think I'm gonna get laid...'
'It's my life, it's now or never - I ain't gonna live forever. I just want to live while I'm alive'
'I wasn't ever taught how to write out music the traditional way, so when I write music down it's like... it's just shapes, you know, and doodles and stuff, sometimes I'll write down notes but I'll make up my own notes you know, A, G, X, F, Y, E, K, etc. I just... I don't let my lack of knowledge get in my way, you know? If I want to do something, I'll go ahead and do it, even if I don't know how to. I think the world would be a much cooler place if people did that, just did what they want to do regardless of what they know or who they are or what other people think'
'I've come up with something.
Yes, sir?
I'm gonna use my brains for the first time in my life.
Considering the circumstances, sir, do you really believe that's wise?'
'Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken'
'Frankenstein was the creator -- not the monster. It's a common misconception, held by all truly stupid people.'
'.... and it's because I think if we're happy all the time then we're just lying to ourselves. Nobody is happy all the time, everyone has dark times and sad times. That's life. By the same token, we shouldn't be sad all the time. We all have happy times too. I think we shouldn't be afraid to hide any of our emotions. All emotions are is being human, we shouldn't hide them. If you're sad, be sad. If you're happy, be happy. If you're angry, be angry. If you're scared, be scared. Not showing your emotions is worse then not having nay at all.'
'In all my bitterness I ignored all that's real and true - all I need is you.'
'My goodness. I do believe I'm drunk. I suddenly feel the need... to strut my funky stuff!'
'Forget this life, come with me, don't look back you're safe now. Unlock your heart, drop your guard no one's left to stop you now...
We're leaving here tonight, there's no need to tell anyone - they'd only hold us down. So by the morning's light we'll be half way to anywhere, where love is more then just your name.'
'You know you're doing a good job when people bitch at you and you just don't give a flying fuck.'
'We can't afford to take any chances. Jump up to red alert!
Are you sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb'
'Don't give me any of that Star Trek crap. It's too early in the morning.'
'It's my duty. My duty as a complete and utter bastard!'
And this is one very close to my own feelings:
'As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless, uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?'
And with that seemingly pointless string of random quotes now behind us, I bid you farewell.
