View Full Version : A Few Last Jabs to Remember me By

So, I thought that maybe I might just leave and not come back.

But really? Would that be my style?

Nah.

My style would be to completely burn my bridges by publically announcing my opinion of the people who need to be verbally flayed a little.


So, Since we're in the "Singling people out in public" mode already...

Azure: I liked you much better when you weren't Azure the moderator, but rather Azure my friend who has great taste in books and introduced me to the Wheel of Time series. That's how I'll remember you. Not as the person who did a lackluster job running the VAA a long time ago and certainly not the mod whose intent is to bring the forums crashing down around her ears. Babe, trust me, if everyone else leaves and you're in charge, shut the forums down entirely and link to Flava. It worked better that way before and will again. Hopefully after I've been away from the boards we can be friends again rather than moderator and unworthy minion? I do realize that You/Tamtu/Danae are providing us with a free service and I'm not knocking that, but I'm not backpeddling either. If a free service sucks, no one uses it. No one's going to walk down a public sidewalk they can twist their ankle on.

Sakura_Ai, Steel_angel, Carrie and whatever the hell you're calling yourselves now: Can you BE anymore annoying? I may be the ONLY person left on the forum that doesn't believe in coddling people, but damn it all, you don't need to be coddled! Coddling children I can understand, and perhaps you wish to be considered children. HOWEVER the VAA community has always been 14+ if you cannot behave in a 14+ manner, then by all means LEAVE THE BOARDS. You making coming to them a constant dissapointment. You are annoying and you are constantly posting on frivioulous meaningless subjects. That's not to say you're the only ones. Chiriri No Miko comes to mind as well. However, she occasionally makes a worthwhile post. You do not. You act like an 11 year old on crack half the time and the other half you're whining because "Oh I'm so depressed" or "People don't like me WHAAAAA." Oh you poor babies. Do the world a service, go fall in a hole somewhere and work on digging your way out with a spoon. Maybe by the time you get out you'll have found the maturity required to function in the real world.

Lila: Hey there peaches. So I'm one of the members of Matt Crueas Bitch-Squad, eh? Care to mention me by name? I thought not. I was myself LONG before I befriended Matt and I'll continue to be myself. You will not identify me as the minion of someone else. To be honest, I was here long before Matt. I'm sure you would NEVER jump to Masahiko's defense? Because God forbid you speak up for your friends when they're getting abused for acting like themselves.

Haku2Pure: You annoy me to death. You are constantly dickering about the forum attaching your lips to the ass of anyone who you feel has any kind of power. You don't have ANY opinions of your own, and you're nearly as bad about spamming as the three annoying triplets already mentioned. Learn to think for yourself! GEEZ.

Matt Alan: Hey, I'm gonna be honest here. I like you, you're fun to chat with but you are WAY too high strung. I can't understand why so many people have difficullty dealing with others here, but it all winds back to this. If something pisses you off, it's best to laugh it off, realize that this is the internet and MOVE THE HELL ON. Not dwell on past wrong-doings and hold grudges. Half the misunderstandings here at the board are because someone has slapped a half-assed, half-formed opinion on another user name and ran with it. You're doing it to Matt and Nanuri (I Know they edited your posts, I'm not justifying their actions, but for godssakes get a sense of humor and don't run to the mods everytime you need a personal issue resolved!). Try taking it maturely to the source. If you had discussed privately in a mature way with Matt and Magali the problems you had, they would have laid off. You're so quick to toss around tripe about respecting other people, but you and so many others here do NOT realize that respect must be EARNED. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO RESPECT THE MINUTE YOU COME ON A MESSAGE BOARD. Get it through your head. You EARN respect by making mature, conscise posts and by being an asset to the forum. Not a grudge-holding bitching detriment.

Starflare: Learn to respect opinions that aren't the same of yours. You get into debates and then you fly off the handle. Learn some self control! AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP THE INCESSANT SPAMMING. You DON'T have to reply to every post in the forum and you DON'T have to have some stupid comment for EVERYTHING that is ever said.

Hm. Running out.

Everyone who's been at the boards less that a quarter of the time I have and has twice my post count: STOP SPAMMING. No one wants to read what you have to say unless it's humorous and has worth. There are chatting programs such as AIM for a reason.

USE THEM.

Everyone else who was offended by anything done by myself, Matt, Nanuri, or anyone else who dares to think for themselves and trys to assert themselves as an individual on the forums: Suck it up. A messageboard is made of individuals. Some individuals are sarcastic, some are caustic, some are biting, some are downright mean. The majority will eventually hit out at those who are acting in an inappropriate manner and they will either change or leave. If you call in the Mod-Squad every time something is a tiny bit off center your newbies get used to the intervention, people start acting like Haku, and sending Tamtu or Danae into God-mode and everything collapses into a socialist muckhole. When everyone can assert their personality and opinions as INDIVIDUALS regardless of what those opinions are, THAT'S when a messageboard is fun. Now it's a safe haven for those who suck up to the powers that be and the refuse of society. Yuck.

In short, Screw ya'll and have a nice life.

So ends this chapter of my life XP

Have fun with your little Message Board, Kiddies.

I'm out.

One last cry for attention then, Celly? Commendable! :)

I feel you made a few fair points, but disagree with your presentation. Being honest and specific is good, but to a degree.

According to many, the VAA has seen a lot of "drama" in recent times. I myself love drama, and to be honest, I have never really understood what's wrong on this board. A little friction isn't bad. I think mostly the accusations should stop. Just shrug, and ignore. Better yet, shake hands, or allow rivals to become best enemies - having a nemesis means character development for you!

I'd never want to patronise the "drama" on this message board. Real people, real emotions are involved. But I think it's not too extreme, really. For that reason, Celly, I totally believe it's ok for you to leave. For I totally believe you'll be back, even though you will not hear of it now. Please, sincerely, do what you think is best for you. I'll never stop wanting to be your friend.

You've always struck me as a funny and caring person, even though a bit "dedicated" to certain beliefs and ways of conduct at times. Truth be told, I think a lot of people want attention. We all try to gather friends around us that make us feel good about ourselves. We all speak out in hopes of a standing ovation and much love and happiness.


For all you've done and for all you are, Ashley Keen, I am now standing up, and applauding you. Hurray!

Guh. -.-; Was this honestly necessary? As much as I love you Celly, I'm glad that the board changes are slowly weeding out the people that think this sort of post is neccessary upon their leave.

You're not making my job any easier. There's a thing called PM's.

Locking.
