I'll be honest with u m8 that's a lot of words that I'm not gonna read.

You seem very personally invested in what a group of strangers on the internet might think about you.

Maybe there's a deeper internal conversation to be had about why you feel this way

But I think ultimately what it comes down to is that it doesn't cost anything to be considerate of the feelings of others

FWIW I’ve always appreciated that you speak your mind. While I don’t often interact with your posts, I have noticed that they stand out if for nothing else their lack of pretension and bullshit. It’s refreshing.

Hopefully you’ll be back soon.

I obv don't know you but "making a dramatic exit" is not considerate of the feelings of others. It's literally making a point to draw attention to your absence, in spite of whatever it was that made you feel that you should remove yourself from the situation in the first place.

When I talk about being considerate of the feelings of others, I mean understanding that this is not -your- space, you don't get complete control of it, and that's okay. Are parting words even necessary on an anonymous web forum?

I don't think "it's just the internet m8" and "please be considerate of others including not using the r-slur" are mutually exclusive at all.

If you want to browse other forums that are not anonymous, why not do so? They're out there for you to use, so why instead come to a forum specifically designed to be anonymous and complain that it isn't?

All I'm saying is that there might be more important battles to fight

I never said that you're not allowed to feel that way. I'm just saying that given the context, it's not really necessary or productive. There seems to be a big gap between "situations that require the time and energy it takes to craft a 1000-word post" and this situation. Maybe there's more happening here than I'm aware of, I'm not precluding that possibility, but there just seems to be so much energy that it seems to be misdirected by its very nature.

It's kinda like that meme

"I DON'T LIKE THING"

-Angel comes down from Heaven-

~okay~
