I think you should reconsider. When it isn't bogged down with this sort of nonsense this is one of the best forums around in my view.


..and where the eff have you been anyway!?

I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Because it's fucking dramatic. :nono:
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

It used to be, but you tolerate people and behaviour here that I just cannot any more. And this fucking ratskep chip on the collective shoulder is really sad... after how many pages of slagging off the staff there one points out this and look at the treatment she gets?

Really pathetic.

This will be my last post. Bye to the people here that I do like, sorry, but NOTHING is worth the amount of shit that seeps out here now.

Its the internet. Nobody will care or remember in two minutes. That is except for those here who have taken it all a step further and made the effort to get to know each other as 'real people'.

Thank you. Me too. Though I want nothing to do with your penis, I hope you understand. :what:

The thread has been locked, but the topic isn't. Feel free to start a new thread.

I didn't post that much but I did lurk and I have donated.

Starr is my friend, and Pappa is an Admin, if he had apologised and said 'Sorry that was out of order, but I do think you are totally wrong' and listed why then I could remain here.

He didn't, he even gloated about how he had reported himself, so he clearly meant for the insult to remain because he knew the punishment would be minor (24 hours off whoopee do).

Either way, I don't want anything to do with the place anymore.

Suspend my account too please.

All done. If any of you change your mind, email us and you, too, will be welcome to return.

Just posted this in the Pub, but have decided to tag it on to the end of this thread too:
Pappa wrote:I'd like to appologise to my fellow ratz for my outburst yesterday. Contrary to speculation, I wasn't drunk at all. I was angry and offended by Starr's continued insistence that the argument and drama is occuring because of the Ratz members. I'd been sick of hearing it through that whole thread. I was already a bit annoyed with her because of another matter relating to her that I can't mention due to our non-disclosure rule, and then, immediately after that, I read her post in that thread which I quoted and it pissed me off so much I completely overreacted. I agree that staff should be expected to adhere to the rules to a much higher degree than other members, so I am particularly sorry for that. I've never broken the rules here before in any way, and I have been highly critical of other staff whern they have done so on a few occasions, so I'm disappointed in myself for the hypocricy of my action.

Sorry for being a dick.
