Taking a vacation from the Shroomery.
#5349801 - 02/28/06 02:46 PM (17 years, 10 months ago) |

I'm done guys. I'm sick of it. I'm really annoyed. I may lurk in the next week and a half to two weeks, but I won't be posting. I've had to deal with nothing but drama and Pub vs. OTD bullshit for the past week and I get very emotionally invested in the Shroomery.
Right now is not a time when I can afford to be as emotionally invested in it as I am at the moment...I need to find a new job because this one ends next Friday. I need to find out what I'm doing with my life. I need a break from you people, as wonderful as you can be.
It's different being a moderator, and while I enjoy contributing to this site, I also miss being a regular ol' user and member. I enjoy moderating, and I feel I have a lot to offer the Pub and OTD. But over the next two weeks I will be strongly reconsidering whether or not I want to remain in this position.
I'm leaving my e-mail address with CherryBom, blinkidiot, trendal, and Randolph_Carter. If anyone wants to get in touch with me for any reason, they can ask those people, and they'll make a judgment call on whether or not you really should have it. OTherwise PM me, I will check on those now and then.
This is a great place, and sometimes I wish people would just follow that great tripping advice: Let it Be.
Later.

Stay strong bro. Don't let people keep ya down.
Also this pub vs. OTD is total shit. I can see the personality differences between the 2 forums but it is fucking childish at how both sides are going about it. Kinda reminds me Native American, African American, Asian American, ect ect why the fuck can't we all be just American? Or for the shroomery purposes OTD shroomerite, Pub shroomerite, ect ect why the fuck can't we all be shroomerites?
I understand there are going to be quarrels but fuck.....

Have a nice break robot, enjoy it and recharge. If you haven't already I highly suggest getting around to giving a solid listen to At War With The Mystics. Smoke some dankity dank put your feet up and relax. Best of luck with finding a new stimulating and enjoyable job too.

I love both boards and consider myself a poster and fan of both.
OMR, good luck getting your shit together, we all need to take break sometimes, it's good to know that you realize it and are taking the appropriate actions to do so.

Best advice I can give you is basically what you already said.
A grain of salt.
Anyone who takes the Pub vs OTD seriously is just a silly god damn goose.

I think that both boards are cool and Im glad Im not caught up in all the drama and am actually out of the loop as to whats going on but all the people who perpetuate this BS are losers on both sides and need to get a life its just a msg board damn!

They both kick ass. And I prefer OTD because it's not so serious and if there is a serious thread then it is usually resolved in the first 4-5 posts and then hilarity ensues.
Now I know not all, but most... Pub threads are too serious and are resolved in the first 4-5 posts And then arguments and stupid perspectives follow. (yeah I know this isn't one of the first 4-5... I'm above my rules damnit!)
Good luck bot. You'll find a badass job I'm sure.

I wise man (Redstorm) once told me to S.T.F.U. and quit being such a whiney bitch. Its hard, but try not to take this place to seriously. If you need a break, the admins will ban you. I just got back from a month self imposed ban. Didn't really work tho, because i had an old account to use.

I told you that? If it was about OTD, it was probably good advice. I only say that to your because I was the tenant of the tent you slept in a couple years ago. Tough love, baby.

Good luck with everything bro, I'm sure you will find what you are looking for. Catch you when you get back.

Dude, I know exactly where you're at and you're right.
You need to put your personal affairs above all else. Get yourself straightened out and come back when your situation allows you to deal with the emotional rollercoaster that is The Shroomery.

Good luck staying away. I know it's not always easy. I've gone through periods of addiction, but also long periods of absence. I have practically no posts compared to a lot of people on here, but I still do read a hell of a lot - even if I'm not posting. Trying to take a vacation while in the midst of an addiction is not east i must say!
