Is there a way to have a user account deactivated? Voluntarily, I mean?

Right, but there's a need for this guy to spend weeks acussing me and emailing me? I'm pissed, so I ranted. I apologize if I offended you Jesse, but I figured I better either just get booted off or something.

It's really frustrating to be having no real problem on this board and have some guy harrassing me endlessly. So I snapped, but I'm afraid I don't take it back.

But after reading him bashing me endlessly, I decided I deserved to let him have it back a little. And now I would like to just let it drop having had my say. And if you guy want me to split, then just take away my account and be done with it.

Still not sure at all what I ever said to get John so riled up in the first place

God, what's with us? Do we as a board need to up our meds or something?

Schmoker, I understand your irritation, but wipe the foam off your mouth next time. Kristen, about 5 people said you were right, so drop the "wah, no one's listening" thing. You cannot control other's reactions, and being disagreed with does not equal being disrespected.

And we. must. CHILL.

Thrive to spite them

This has gotten way, way out of hand.

John, I respect you a lot, but I think this should have been taken off board and stayed off board. If you wanted to discuss this with the other Stompy Feet then it should have been done privately.

The only thing that has occured is now almost everyone is upset.

I wish that another person in authority had stepped in and made an announcement that this issue was off the table.

This is upsetting.

I really don't blame Schmoker for getting upset and rant-y. That is all I have said about this, and all I will say.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pissed, so I ranted.

I have no idea what's gone on between you and John via email, just through this thread. He said some things about you, and some people said they thought he was taking it too far. That's it. And really, the core of what he was saying was, if you're this banned person, that's bad. All you had to do was say, "No. I'm not him." I can't guarantee that would be enough for everyone to believe it, but it would be enough that I would argue very strongly that it should end the conversation.

I'm sorry I snapped. But I figured if I was getting booted anway, I might as well give you a better reason to do it.

Sorry.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Back off. You have no idea of what you speak on this.

Dude, seriously? That's insane troll logic.
