Why I'm leaving

[ishmaelape]

After I read Ardys post, I figured it was fair enough to know why I'm leaving. Lately I've been struggling with a lot of things. One of them is why assholes of the world seem to be the one's everyone likes, get everything, etc etc. It's something that has hurt me a lot lately. I mean, I try to be really nice to people, but all I get is stepped on over and over again. When I started coming on the internet, and found places like this, and Synergy, I was trying to get away from things that were hurting me. At first it was great, but lately, I see someone (and I'm not going to say names, but it's pretty obvious) has been making the most disgusting posts. He's been a complete asshole to many people in the past. And I look, and it seems like you guys/girls like him. It's EXACTLY what I was trying to run away from by coming to here, but it's sitting there right in front of me everytime I come here. It's been hurting me more and more, and lately, it's been overwhelming. Coming here just makes me hurt, so I'm leaving. I'll keep in contact with a few of you. Everyone else, thanks for everything, and take care of yourselves,
John

i thought the same thing, its true, ask pearl. I just figured it was me though, I dont pretend to understand people anymore.Im pretty weird. I dont care though, I figure ppl dont need to understand me.Well most of them dont. Just find a few ppl that do and dont worry about everyone else.

I'm trying to figure it out what makes some of us able to tolerate the stuff Mr.P kicks out and what why some people aren't able to put it into perspective. Forgive me, but it is my psych student nature to understand why things are the way they are. First, I'm seeing that it is the younger members of our crowd who are more offended by Mr.P's messages than many of the rest of us. Second, most of you who posted on this thread have professed to being extremely shy.
Okay, so it is really late and those are the best of my weak observations. I mean, of course I can see why some, actually a lot of people would be put out by the posts of Mr.P.... but it's nothing but a stab at entertainment, and if you aren't entertained, don't bother with it. I'm sure you are all questioning the character of those of us who partake in the little par-tay... and let me tell ya... i enjoy someone who enjoys pushing the limits, I like to push them right back. Judge me if you must, I'm used to it.

[yer ardy]

and ishy knows...but to briefly clarify for the rest of the group:
the world is full of assholes...always has been, always will be.
i'm no psych major, but i've lived a little longer than a good many
of you...so i've been down those roads, all of them. simply put,
it's all temporary, it gets better, you are your own worst enemy,
the sun will rise another day, you take things too seriously and
it ages you before your time. assholes may be remembered for their
outrageousness and it's always short-lived. nice people are remembered
for an eternity. it's 50-50, the luck of the draw, either you are an
asshole or you aren't, either you are a nice person or you aren't.

if you hate something, don't you do it too. what you don't like in
others is what you can't stand in yourself...i could go on...but
yer getting the picture. life is like baseball, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and sometimes it rains...and we're all smart enough to know
what to do when it rains...ok?
ok...thank you and goodnight.

But grow the fuck up. If people are pushing you around it is because you are letting them. If you act like a nice guy and people walk all over you, it's because you are letting them.

Has it ever occured to you that the reason people respond to 'assholes' is because they seem to have the guts to have an opinion, to be themselves and to tell people that their opinion is fine but they are sticking to theirs.

The older you get the more you will establish your own identity. At the moment though you are goig through the exact thisgs tht I went through in my late teens. Just be yourself and people will like you more. If you be what you think they want they will not respect you. How can someone respect someone who doesn't respect themselves enough to have an idea?

Get over yourself, man.

What makes you think I'm putting on an act? Fuck, I can't believe I'm getting attacked in a post like this. You've never even talked to me before, and you think I'm putting on an act. That's just fucking great.

[ishmaelape]

And "assholes" I don't mean people with an opinion. I mean people who think it's a good idea to call me a "cocksucker" or "fag" or say that they'd like to punch me in the face for no fucking reason. All I wanted was a place away from that crap. I had really high hopes for the PJ community, but I was wrong. People wanted to know why I'm leaving, and I told them. So don't tell me to get over myself. Especially if you've never talked to me before. God that pisses me off!!

[yer ardy]

yup it did/is....
from our perspective (being OLDER) it's easier to see the other side now, rogue...

but c'mon...don't forget how you felt when you were younger
and how a post like this one would've made you feel then...

PP is good for laughs. I mean, he's like tv. You can turn him on when you want and wehen you have had your fill you can turn him off. I guess PP is my last ditch effort. I go and reply to his posts only when I need that entertainment and are completely bored out of my head with the world.

PP has siad some really stupid ignorant shit before...but then again, so have I and I want a chance to be forgiven....so......do what you must, but I say the easiest soultion is to not read his posts if you dislike them so much. This isn't a popularity contest...

[ProfessorFrink]

Don't leave because of one user. If people want to spend more time replying to his posts than so be it. Everyone needs their mind numbed once in a while and obviously some more often than others. When offensive and unfunny posts get more replies than something you put on here, just let it slide. There's nothing you can do about it. I know it's easy to say this because 99% of my posts are a waste of time, but you shouldn't let it discourage you. If the majority of the people here are crude than why should you care if they don't respond to you?

(((((ishy)))))... i've never talked to you before, but i'm just gonna say, don't take it so seriously. i mean, this person in
question who shall remain nameless is... well, yeah everyone knows how he is, but i just respond to him for entertainment.
i don't know what he's said to you in the past, but as amy said, everyone says stupid things on here sometimes... ummm,
well i'm not really making very much sense here, but... i know what you mean how you're trying to get away from things in
real life, then you come here and it still seems like a popularity contest... but for me i just think of this, like it's not real life-
i do come here a lot, but when something/ someone on here is annoying, i don't let it get to me. i just skip over that post
and move on. i guess my point is, that people may be attracted to the assholes of the world, but look how many supportive
posts you've gotten- people are attracted to the nice guys too /images/smile.gif

[bluecow]

frink, maybe it's just my computer but that little animation you have in your sig is moving REALLY fast... looks like ol' professor frankie is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY hyper or on drugs or something /images/laugh.gif... hehe.

[northwoodsamyII]

I'd also have to agree with the general annoyance of the racial slurs........


so, I guess the best bet on this one is again, if you dislike it don't read it and certainly don't reply to it, it'll only make it go to the top where more people will read it.

Ishy,

I know that you and I have talked on a number of conversations. And I have always thought of you as a very mature person. I'm pretty young too. I'm still pretty touchy at times, some here can atest, but it isn't about me, it's about you.

When I see people talk to you, or chat with you, I have always thought there was always a respect given from both sides. You're one of the few people that get that. People get that for a reason, because they have proven to be a good person. Being like this, there are people who don't understand or comprehend what you are doing/and trying to do. This comes with the field. There are more people out there who will never understand you, and they are the ones that you try so hard to get to understand you. You want them to be like you, to try and respect people, it just doesn't work with some of them. What you do, is realize that the people who DO respect you are the ones who need to be kept, and reassured. These are people who will be there for you, and that are always there. People don't post on some people's post for no reason. People don't PM people for no reason. That's important.

You can't let people get to you. Like Ardy said. You're a great guy, and we love having you hear. Don't let the stupid things make you lose touch with the people on here that care for you, because there are more than a few. Take some time off if you want, or don't. Either way, I would (along with many others) love to see you bounce back, when yer ready, and kick some ass.

I'm a dork. /images/tongue.gif

[RogueTrader]

No no....fuck this and fuck the whole thing, Ishy......You have no right to ask us to feel sorry for you. This is your problem, not ours.

I refute your claim that you are being praid upon. i refute your claim that you are being victimised.....You are the master of your own destiny....If you get slapped arpound a few times....so be it.......JUST GET OVER IT!!!!!

I give you no sympathy. You desetrve everything you get.......think about that....

M

and for those that want to put you down......they know what they can do.......I don't have to say it
And age has nothing to do with it
it's respect

I sent you a PM...but my computer messed up in the middle of it. I hope that you got it.

staring blankly back at you

[ishmaelape]

God. I just left. I didn't say anything. I left. People asked me why I was leaving. They wanted to know, so I said why. I'm sorry I did it.

[ishmaelape]

And thanks for your support everyone. I won't say anything else.

[jennie10]

/images/frown.gifI hope you don't leave. I'd much rather read your posts. /images/laugh.gif

[loserjam]

you obviously can't read. he never asked for pity. you decided to put that connotation in yourself and get mad about that. i feel bad for you, not ishmaelape. you deserve what you get.... that's what assholes say to people who have been raped or abused in anotehr form. that's waht a pompuss ass like you would say becuz you have no understandign of ppl who treat others with at least 1% of respect.

[loserjam]

you oviously dont need some of these ppl. they treat you like shit.

[ishmaelape]

Nah, a lot of people on here are really great. It's the few people on here that I'm not going to miss

[pearlmelon]

Ok, Let me just say to you, Rogue...I can not believe that you would even say something like that to anyone having a hard time, & least of all Ishy! Have you ever talked one on one with him??? He is the sweetest, most caring guy in this so called "community."..He is going through some real rough shit right now, that goes beyond all this crap, & stuff like this just makes him feel worse...The last thing he needs right now is shit from you, too...So please do us all a favor & if you don't have anything positive to say to him, KEEP YOUR DAMN MOUTH SHUT!!!

[corduroykate]

i am sitting here stunned at how some people responded to this thread
i would never in my wildest dreams have thought that people could be so hurtful towards someone so kind and someone who is in need of anything BUT more hurt right now
this kind of shit is unbelievable
fucking unbelievable

[vitolochica]

I honestly thought you were a bigger person than that...I guess I was mistaken.

John, I don't blame you for leaving, fuck I've left too...I have little tolerance for stupid, close minded, ignorant, racist people....jokes are one thing, but when they actually believe it, then it's another thing...

You are one of the 10 people that I actually truly care about in this online community, I am not going to say I miss you because we won't stop talking; so it's not my loss but everyone elses. I love you John. ((((((Ishy))))))
