F*ck it, 10k posts is enough, I'm outta here.

[Jase]

There's a time when you say to yourself, I've sunk too much time into something that's completely worthless at the end of the day.

Some of you may have been wondering why I haven't been posting at all for the past day and a half. The reason is simple: I've been debating as to whether I want to remain part of this community. After a LOT of thought, I've decided that it's better for me if I leave, for good. This will be my final post here on the Huddle.

Certain people here (Val, Dimbee, Zod, Scrum, PanthaSan, NC_Biscuit, Boo, Saltman, Panthro, a few others... you know who you are) have continued making "jokes" about me being gay or liking feet... this despite the fact that I have politely asked them not to, more than once.

Now, before you label me as humorless, I want you to understand that I do have a sense of humor about myself. I've been picked on here for being a geek, for being a virgin, for liking graphing calculators... and I was totally fine with all of that. However, I've made it clear that my sense of humor about myself does not extend into statements, joking or otherwise, concerning me being gay or liking feet. For the record, I am not gay (and you can take that "methinks you doth protest too much" crap and cram it up your ass sideways, TC), and any speculation about whether I am because of the decor of my condo is stereotyping at its worst. (Dimbee... I'm sure your gay brother would be proud of how you really seem to feel about gays, based on some of your posts.)

I've also been accused of having a double standard when it comes to this, given my repetitive jokes in the direction of Jester (concerning his sheep) and JR (concerning his sexual behavior). The difference is that these two fine individuals, for whom I have a lot of respect, have apparently consented to this sort of thing... I've never seen either of them protest when a joke is made at their expense, and I've never had a single negative thought towards either of these two guys. If either of them ever had said "hey, please don't joke about <x>", I would have stopped immediately... and I would have expected the same of anyone here when I did the same thing. I admit that my sense of humor about myself may not be as fully-developed as it is for other people... but I doubt that certain people here (Cooter, for example) would put up with someone making jokes about THEM being gay. (Even if I am wrong about this, it still doesn't excuse what's been done.)

So, I want you all to know WHY I am leaving... and I want to be very clear about this. It's because of the inconsiderate, immature behavior of assh*les like Dimbee and Val, who just can't leave well enough alone when someone politely asks them to stop doing something. Now, if they were anyone else here (Charlottenian, for example), I would do to them what I did to Charlottenian for a while: Set them on Ignore. Sadly, these two jackasses are moderators, and therefore they cannot be Ignored. Since I cannot Ignore them, and since they insist on continuing to behave in a manner which completely pisses me off, the only solution left is for me to take my leave of this site.

Before you think this is all negative, though, I want to say "farewell" to a few people:

Zod, JR, Jester, NH, Ms. Skyy, Livermush, Cooter, Monkeybutt, CosmoGirl (the only Huddler I've ever actually met, to my knowledge), Cyberjag, Mr. Scot [and Quak and Fox], Tweeder, Anavax, Ladyvamp, Alverez, GTG, Sunbunny, Squirrel, Dawg, Buddha, Duekster, Solorca, Cptx: I enjoyed hanging out with all of you, even if it was just online. (I'm sure I've forgotten some people. Forgive me, please.) Maybe I'll see some of you at the Panthers games... look for JASE 69.

Charlottenian: Good luck with med school, but dude... stop boasting about your parents' house and cars and bidets.

Alan Ford, KK, Delhommey, and Wedge: Get a clue, will you?

Val and Dimbee: F*ck you, assh*les.

One final note: I came here from the Charlotte.com forums, which are heavily moderated... and found myself in a place that is almost totally UNmoderated. I think the Huddle would be a better place, one that I'd like to visit, if it was better moderated. Ms. Skyy is a good mod... she steps in and cools people down when a thread gets too hot. For that she has my thanks. Moderators are not supposed to alienate the people they're moderating.

So anyway... I've had a lot of fun here these past 7 months, but it's not fun anymore. I don't want to be here if it's not fun for me.

GO PANTHERS!
