Not Telling
Three days ago, I received the first of what has been six emails from someone (I've been checking people's adresses and haven't found a match). They would quote various posts of mine and then proceed to attack me personally in an often vulgar fashion. It has been quite disturbing. I don't know who has been sending them - and I accuse no one. And to respond to whoever conjectured my absence here: no, Joe did not scare me off - I've never felt intimidated by anyone on the board.
I realize it as irrational now, but I decided to erase my writings in hope of preventing another email. And after one mocking me for it, they did stop coming afterwards. When you edit a post, you still have to type something to submit it, and four 'L's were something I randomly did the first time and it stuck. Goofy, huh?
And considering that I've only officially been a member for a short time, deciding to leave has no real effect on my life. Though I have changed my email address, considering that I was unhappy with my service anyway, this was no problem.
For what it's worth, this does not stand as a reflection on anybody else on the board in my eyes. All the people who have been a part of the threads I was in seem like nice people who'd be engaging to meet. Some lone individual out there is very sick, and they are the only one I have a problem with. I think the administrators here run a very good site - but like any administrators, they can't control the nature of its members. There's so much I want to do with life that it's such a waste to be worrying over how someone will respond to a message board post I write. So I'm bowing out.
May you all have many wonderful years of listening to John Williams ahead of you!
And in closing, the only thing left to say is: llll
