driventotheedge Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) even if it was online.When I'm called an idiot and mocked for trying to express my feelings and opinion about addiction which took my brother at the far too young age of 54, something that hurts to this day and never will stop hurting, It's time to move on from this place. (page 6 of the Taylor Hawkins thread in Music of the Spheres) Obviously this is simply not the right "community" (using the term rather loosely) for me to be part of. The hate and rudeness in this world continues to be more and more difficult to deal with and I have zero interest in absorbing yet more of it here. Guess the next thing would be to call me a pussy. I wish most of you the best. Edited March 31, 2022 by driventotheedge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 You don't have to leave. What about just avoiding that thread? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I am sorry you are deciding to leave driventotheedge. I have enjoyed your postings (especially all the little alphabetic songs, groups, albums etc etc. posts.)I know you are pretty p*ssed right now, but I wish you would reconsider.The good parts of the community - laughs, craic, a common bond, far out-weigh the negative things that sometime occur. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Seems like your problem is with one dude. Put him on ignore. In the end do what you want. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Don't let one jerk ruin your time here. Block the jerk and forget about him. He's not worth the trouble. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not a fan of those replies, and I told him so, but IMO you shouldn't let one such exchange dictate whether you stay or go. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Don't go! I wanna hear more about the next motorcycle trip, and how Pete Carroll is ruining the Seahawks! It's good stuff! I know that thread hit close to home for you, but just count to ten. Your absence would be felt more than you might think. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Don't let someone else dictate your actions. I think the board has a lot to offer you, else you wouldn't be here in the first place. Why let someone take that from you? It's your call, of course. But know please that it's great having you here - internet buddy. :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 That's the same thread where you called me "not very bright" for expressing my opinion, an opinion formed over decades of living with addicts. And stoopid had stated earlier that he himself was a recovering addict, so he has some personal insight. No one mocked your feelings, but they did question your reasoning. Best of luck to you. :cheers: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) It's been great having you here! You bring a good perspective to many things. I hope that you will consider staying, but I understand you not wanting to choose rudeness. It's your call, but you would be missed.

custom55 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Sorry to see you go. I really enjoy your musical knowledge and posts. Take some time away from TRF and come on back in the very near future. Edited April 1, 2022 by custom55 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Whoever did that to you needs to be slapped by Will Smith. f**k that edgelord scumbucket. I would have reported them. Just put them on ignore. Silence speaks louder than words. Don't let the bastards grind you down as Bono said. You're a good man as well and if there's any non Angels team in the AL West I'd root for, it's yours. I always root for the underdog and 2002 buried the 1995 hatchet anyways. Stay strong.

Mr. Not Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Not sure if either of these are really all that applicable to your situation, but you reminded me of them anyway: Half of the people can be part right all of the timeSome of the people can be all right part of the timeBut all the people can't be all right all the time Yeah, mama and papa told me I was crazy to stayI was gay in New York, which is a f** in L.A.So I saved my money and I took a planeWherever I go they treat me the same 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
