What Really Happened Here... (17)
i miss my old friends...but i'm not going anywhere.
i love all of you, and i sit and scratch my head as things change...and i wish i had more contact with the lovely people i've met...but it's almost a study in human personality.

i miss some of the people that have left but i don't plan to leave(i didn't leave by choice last time)but i don't see why everyone can't just get along, speak there minds and get over anything said that shouldn't have been said.

I don't even know how long I have been here. But, I do know that I too have noticed changes. Used to be people talked and learned, and became familiar with each other. We had intelligent conversation. We had differences of opinion. And those differences were hashed out. And we went on to enjoy each other, and our differences. Or, if not enjoy them, accept them.
Then out of the clear blue; came some hard nosed angry people, that just wanted to argue and say hateful things. Call names and such.
But, at the same time, I have also noticed that in the last couple of weeks, that we have come together in a much calmer and affectionate way.
In the short amount of time that I have been here, I have seen newer than me, people come in and I enjoy them immensely. I have also seen ones that I value as always being ones, that have something worthwhile to say, leave. It always makes me sad to see them leave. I don't hold myself as important in any way, but I have felt compelled to say something. I love this place and have high hopes of continuing to be a part of it.
I love you guys. This place was, and is, and hopefully will be that place, we can come to and find conversation and make quality time together. You would have never been able to convince me, that I would be blowing my coffee on my pc from out loud laughter.

Things have a way of cycling out.
During my time on CS, many of the people that contributed worthwhile discussions to the forums have vanished. It is my wish that those individuals have moved on and are happy in life. That the missing pieces of their lives have come together.
I have to admit that the content of the forums as a whole, has changed. While there are times that I enjoy the playful threads and the stopping by threads, I really did enjoy the topics that caused me to exercise my mind.
Sometimes, I wonder why I stay on........friends, acquaintenances, possibilities.....we all want a life, I do not want to lose touch with those that have made a profound impact in my life, however, I would only wish for happiness for all.

I have no clue what you are talking about Urs.
People come and go on computer forums all the time. It's really no big deal. In fact, I think the people who turn their computers off and go back into the real world on the lucky ones. Those of us who sit here typing into the little box are the losers. If I ever do meet a partner I won't be sitting around typing into computer forums after that I can guarantee you that much

i have always noticed that things and people change and yes i was goned for a little while but i cant seem to stay away from you all i have learned i think to agree to disagree
the good ones leave sometimes due to life or they just get tired of the crap
the root of the problem is people change things change
i have seen lots of relationships start and finish before they evedn start but those who are my friends here are freinds because we agree to disagree

..."i have seen lots of relationships start and finish before they evedn start but those who are my friends here are freinds because we agree to disagree"...
The fact that Cat is here with me in Ajax, for the second time says to me that i was one of the lucky ones...I made lasting friendships..I still keep in regular contact with friends that though they don't post here anymore...make the effort to still have a relationship with me outside the forums...
What i miss on the forum is the camraderie, the place to "unwind" some days...and even the words of wisdom and encouragement that dragged me up when i was down...
And Abra though i am seeing someone now, I did not think that meant i was to forfeit my friends i made on here...

I pick and choose carefully as to my postings, if I rule out the "would you do your best friends aunts second cousins sister" threads, there's a handful of threads that haven't resorted to flaming/attacks, and are religion, philosophy, or something that 99% of everyone else doesn't know about.
Another reason I don't post so much... I'm tired of the 'pack mentality' phrase being used. I belong to no pack, and can stand on my own two feet. I don't have a need or want to 'conform', I am actually quite the opposite and will be more than happy to provide resistance if I feel that's the only way my point would be made.
"They" didn't win... "Make them think you are weak when you are strong."

The same way the circle of our friends changes...anything in cyberspace will as well. We learn about others, we either stand with them, or avoid them. It's the same in real life. Personalities clash and also connect. Anything in life is subject to change. It's "how" we change it that matters.

Pretty much all my life I have had to stand alone. Even in a long term marriage when I thought I had my back covered ( which is how it should be) found out it wasn't. Someone all those years that told me I was his best friend in actuality betrayed/lied to me. Was actually used. That is why I have trust issues now and find myself standing alone. Probably why I have never started a thread, just posted in them, never really come back with conversation for fear of something going wrong. So I just occasionally post and go on my way. Hope that is ok.........

I think i'd still sit at my computer and type into forums.. cos i enjoy it.. and don't think that I'm a loser, I am here by choice, and not because I don't have a life.

There were the "storms" that one by one came up...and the "die hards" weathered...there were relationships formed and people moved on...as they should...
Unfortunately, some storms could not be "weathered" this last time around...hurtful words and deeds could not be taken back...insults and mud flinging became the "norm" on here instead of the exception..
Friendships and connections were put to the test...and the veterans of the site decided it was one battle too many...
My question to you is....why did "they" win??...
And do you have a theory as to why the forums "fell" the way it did...
If people are honest with themselves, they will acknowledge that there are many reasons for "good ones leaving"...but what really was the "root" of the problem...
