This is exactlly what he said to me over a Email. Enjoy.
Joe, I understand your concerns, and acknowledge them.
However, you jump to conclusions. Simply because spam was the last thing I was raving about, and because I offered no other explanations, you all, every single one of you, assumed that spam was the sole reason I left.
It wasn't.
Sure, spam is part of the reason, but another part is the call of real life. Still another is how astonishingly fanboy OTD became. Valid criticism was wholly rejected, without justified defense, no matter the subject. And no, that is not solely the wizard thread.
I feel like someone who is simply shouting in a soundproof room. Sure, you know I'm there. But it's sort of pointless. If I join the spam, I'm called a hypocrite. If I go against the spam, I'm called a troll. I'm not left with any options.
But that's not even the top of the barrel. We are no longer the people we were. Devis made a point, that night. I have changed from how I used to be. I've become docile, like a neutered lion. To realise this, it just makes me think, that I need to spend some time not posting. It's a break from the drama, from all the bull**** I see, and from the exasperation I suffer every time I see a completely ****ing retarded thread or post that really shouldn't exist, knowing that if I so much as breath a word of my discontent, that people will whine, and people will *****, and in will swoop a mod to strike me down simply for speaking my mind, for being opinionated (Another thing that should change.)
Feel free to share this with anyone whom you will. Actually, I encourage it.
I will come back, of my own accord, at a time of my choosing, but until that time, just know that I'll be watching, now and again.
