I want to clarify something. I am not leaving because I am offended, it does not bother me at all what people say on the internet, in fact, it rarely ever bothers me what people say in real life.
I am leaving because when you treat the witness as hostile, people will tend to believe that the witness IS in fact hostile. I realize that there is no way I can help anyone if whenever I give my review of IC or my general opinions I not only get lambasted by the board but admonished by the site's administration.
Make no mistake about it, I'm not going away huffing and puffing. I am going away as a measure of learned helplessness (:wink: to all you psych majors out there).
Getting banned was the straw that broke the camel's back. You guys might not like the other site, but I can guarantee you that you will never, ever, be banned from that site for disagreeing with someone and you will never, ever have your posts deleted just because a moderator doesn't like what you have to say.
Please, please, please, I don't want to hear the "DON'T GO!!!!" Yes, I'm flattered, it's nice to know that not everyone hates me, but I'm sure that there are others who already think that my only reason for posting this was to get a bit of an ego boost and have you guys "convince" me to stay. It's probably better not to feed into that :willynilly:
I stand by my earlier posts. I was never planning on being a member of this forum forever anyway, so let's just consider this an early, happy, departing.
(psst... I'll still be back for the I'm Done posts...)
