You sit there and judge all those who participate in the ofrum, judging them from your own little perch. You should be ashamed. You should leave this forum, and all others forever. You are a pussy, acoward, a sycophant.
Tell me how I was judgmental. I'm a gutless faggot because I didn't have the time to deal with the drama? Because I didn't want to continue wading through meaningless posts and I actually wanted semi-serious football discussion? I found myself getting caught up in the arguments too much (just waiting for the "people have issues if they take mb's seriously comment). Some of us on here see others regularly. Consider this scenario -

Tre and I, followed by Mood and a few others, had an unwritten gentlemen's agreement. After years of heated smack talk in person that periodically got so intense and bitter that others around got very uncomfortable, we discovered that we could vent on WTF and get it all out and more and not talk about it in person. Any reference to WTF in person was generally ripping on someone else or a sarcastic one-line reference to one of our scathing posts. Among other reasons I stepped away because it was getting harder and harder to separate. Our posts were getting so liberal that the disconnect with Tre in particular was tough. I'm sure we both thought the other was an absolute retard at times for comments or complete posts. So how can I read a post like that and not call him out the next time I see him? - vice versa -

I only speak for myself on that. My biggest reason was preserving a friendship that is far more valuable than 6 quality posters. If that makes me a "gutless faggot", so be it.

But you should notice, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that since my return I try very hard not to take on others or put them down in my posts. If I see threads and posts that a 3 year old retard taking a break from smothering his own crap all over himself could have written, I just move on. Rolls off the back. Many times I will click "Mark thread read" whether it is or not, just because I know I'm better off by not reading some of it.

For the most part I'm back for solid info from Art, clever quips from Glenn, and the occasional strong input from 3-4 others (I won't name them because I don't want to accidentally leave someone out and have them go off).

I would think that those who read this and are mature enough will respect me for my decision rather than criticize me behind my back. In the event the other happens, I can consider the source and move on.

In the meantime, I hope to be a continuing contributor periodically and I hope to get better info hear than rivals or scout, who once had 1 or 2 free articles per day but now generally have nothing more than questionable headlines for those of us not willing to pay for info.

See you around.
