I think it's quite obvious...

... that I'm not wanted. Sorry to have caused you guys trouble. Enjoy the rest of your perfect lives

you should heed your own advice.

I don't think that's the problem. I think the problem is how you interact with others. If you were able to try and fix this issue you would find that doors to life would start openng. Probably easier said than done, but that's my advice.

It's good advice.Actually I think if we all did better at how we interact with others, we'd all do better in life.

well here's a fantastic stroke of fucking geneous

Thank you. The obvious is my specialty.

Dude, no need to leave. It's the way politics work man. Not everyone's going to love what you have to say, and not everyone's going to agree with what you've said. That's just the way it works man. You know this, I know this. We all should know this. Somewhere, I'm positive, there's another person thinking what you've said. No need to remove yourself from the group man. I think others just need to learn to deal. With the posts here there are ways to view what was posted by simply recognizing the posters name. If they come to a thread or a response you've given it's their choice whether or not they wish to disregard it. If they can't bring themselves to disregard your posts and it enrages, troubles, or hurts them...well...they had a choice..they made the wrong one. So again man, no need to shy away. Stay, and continue with the conversations that transpire.

I think others just need to learn to dealFirst off, thank you for being the only one who understands what I was trying to say/do.But it's obvious that people don't want to have to deal with someone who's different. I don't want them to have to change anything in their lives (heaven forbid anything amkes you change), and besides, I've learned enough from this "trip" to A2A, so I don't see a need to stay.It's good to know not everyone is like that though (talking about you here), so thx for that

I have no idea what's gone on (I've been gone) why, when, where, or how or who said what but why leave? Fuck 'em. Who cares what they think say or do. If nothing else at least you get to be thorn in there side. Bein' a thorn is always fun.

What I don't want to deal with is someone who won't even try to consider if what they are about to say will hurt anyone. I don't want you to go, I want you to stay in hope that some good habits will rub off on you. I know it probably doesn't seem like it to you, but most people here are very nice people and one or two of them may well be the nicest people you'll ever have the pleasure to talk to.So don't go, cause if you go then your chances of helping yourself drop lower, and none of us want that.

Well said

Pointing down at sigThere are ways to say things that so that you don't hurt people but do get your point across...

There's nothing worng with having different views and ideas, but from your own admission, it's usually VERY differnt from the way "most" people think. When I read your comment saying "tough, get over it"... it didn't phase me and I just moved on, but others got very angry. This is indicative of what you will experience in real life. If this is the way life is for you, then you will have a hard time and I wish you luck.

> What I don't want to deal with is someone who won't even try to consider if what they are about to say will hurt anyone

You know, I could say the same about a lot of things you guys say. I read things that don't bother most people, but it bothers me. I don't flip out about it, because I know I have some subjects that are touchy for me.

Anyway, I see that all of a sudden everyone wants me to stay, but I'm still going to take a break. I'll still read every now and then and post every now and then, if that helps anyone

If you honestly think that someone firmly stating an opinion you don't happen to agree with is the same thing as basically saying "you saw a small child drown...tough titties. get over it"... then maybe you do need to take a brake and figure out what it is folks are talking about.And then come back and we'll be waiting with open arms, your very own recliner, and a nice slice of apple pie.Til then...
